i actually worked up the courage today to call the number.

I was then told that the dr only did new patient evals on Monday's and Thursdays. Mondays at 1 and Thursdays at 10.

Well ... I'm in class at that time. This makes it very difficult for me to be there for that. Actually, impossible, I'm not missing class for this. Period. At my age (43) I need to be there for the lectures, i don't need to be missing out on something. my mind doesn' t work as quickly as it did when i was 18.

The reality is, most of the doctors there, do not have this policy, they fit in evals when it fits into the schedules, but this doc, only does them at those times.
An eval is an hour, an appt is an hour ...so the exception for a person who is in class during her evaluation appointment schedule ... who is even having to make the appointment because of an error that their clinc caused?

I'm not budging. They either make the appointment when it fits into my schedule, or they can explain to my doctor that they don't have time for me.

THEY put me into this situation, i did not put myself here. I will not be the one to budge here, and yes, i'm not being flexible about it, I know that ... but i've been more than flexible with them over the eyars as I lost therapists, nutritionists due to their error with insurance, and as they made mistake after mistake ... because the therapists that I worked with seemed to be keeping me on an even keel or keeping me moving forward.
