NOT respect

by lhinton

Recently visited The Doctor's Office to speak with someone (anyone in authority,really) about extending a prescription. I was stopped short by the receptionist and told that to ask a question of someone on staff would constitute an office visit, and oblige me to pay the $70 fee. Long story short, I never did get past the receptionist. No one with any authority ever came out to answer my non-medical concern, and I left vowing to find a less "transactional"

health care provider.

• Pros: competent care
• Cons: Felt like a checkbook
