Could you say something to this lady directly? I also agree about speaking to the doctor again. I used to dread going to my neurologist office due to the office staff being so rude. I wish doctors would see how their staff impacts us. So many people need a job you would think they could hire someone better.

I would not jump the gun too quick and leave. Sometimes these people are getting tired of their job or causing other problems and will be gone soon anyway.

I went through this a couple of years ago down at my Drs. office. The girl finally got fired, not just because of me but due to things she was doing at the office.

If someone else in the office is having problems with her then it's not you, it's her so sat back and wait.

In the meantime do talk to your Dr. again about the fact that you feel uncomfortable coming there anymore.

Sometimes people like that think they have been there so long they can do anything they want.

Good luck,
Ada

I agree...Seems there is more than what meets the eye in this ladies rudeness...but I dont blame you for unloading on her...It's so no your issue should she be unhappy and bring her troubles with her to her work..After all...when people work with those who are not feeling well...in PM offices etc... No way are they to have a reason to be nasty to their clients, patients...almost not allowed a bad day...they should only wonder how we feel...everyday!! But Gabbycakes, I wouldn't pack up least not yet...Give this time if you can still have and get respect from your Dr.... The real issues with this sweet pie will surface and then less grief in the future...Avoid her in the mean time...when calling there...ask for a particular person instead just to get by her....

much luck... We gotz your back....

Hugs, Kathy

Stay. The doctor knows it's a problem. And don't back down if you have to deal with her again. And if she acts like it again, call her on it and get the office manager and your doctor involved before you leave that office. They will only tolerate so much.

Great advise, thanks to everyone. My husband is telling me the same thing, "don't leave".

I will never understand why doctors tolorate behavior like that. As I said others have complained and from what I here one of them went to the CEO of the whole facility and where talking about one of best orthopedic facilities in the world.

He is technically great, I have epidurals for my back that last a year plus, if I need a cortisone shot, I have a shoulder issue also, he'll do it just right there and then not make another appt, blah, blah. I do hate to leave he's accomodating, smart, very smart but you have to get to him. What I have started to do is just ask to speak to him when I have a question and he has been calling. I only did it twice but normally I would just ask her and then she would get back to me, but I refuse to even look at her. I hate to feel that I have to demand to speak to him just because you can't trust her. It's not fair to him or me.

Thanks again everyone,

Gabbycakes
