A few years ago I was seeing a local pain dr. I was doing the series of 3 shots to the lower back. On my 3rd visit, I had a 1st of the afternoon app't and checked in. No one else was yet in the waiting room but that soon changed. They called me back to the exam room fairly quickly and the assistant jotted my info and said "dr. will be in shortly!" I sat and waited....and waited...and waited. After about 1/2 hr. I stuck my head out and caught someone and was told "dr. got stuck in traffic,(?) he just called and he'll be here in 5 minutes...so I waited and waited some more. Finally I'd had it and went out to tell them...I was done and had been sitting there for nearly 2 hours (I'd also been fasting for the shot). It was almost like they'd forgotten me in that room. They then tried to tell me I wasn't shown on the schedule. Say what???? They'd checked me in. Anyway, very quickly I was taken into where they do the shots and it was administered. No one ever explained or apologized. I would never go back to that practice again as all 3X's I wasn't impressed with the office staff. The name of the dr. was Zhou or something like that. This was 4 1/2 yrs ago so not sure if he's still aound or not.
