T always says she will call me, then forgets to. It makes me feel sad that she forgot me. Am i expecting too much of her? She said she would call.

I would be disappointed too.

Could you possibly ask the next time you meet if she forgot to make a phone call?

I get disappointed if any-one who says they will ring doesn't.

crystalrose,

No, I do not think you are asking for too much. She said she would call, and then she did not call. I would feel hurt by this too. Maybe she has a bad memory or was just super busy, but it sounds like she has done this more than once, is that right? If so, i would talk to her about it and try to find out what happened.

[crystalrose]

yes it has happened a few times now. Second time in 2 weeks. i hate waiting!

[Dazed and Confused]

This has happened to me twice in a row, too. It was bugging me, too. I hate it when anyone says they will do something and then don't. But then I figured, hey, I'm the consumer and this is her business so I called and scheduled an appt and then it happened the very next time. She didn't have her calendar so she said she'd text or email with available dates and she didn't. So once again I called and scheduled.

She has a very busy practice and if I waited until she remembered, I'd probably have to wait a month or more (or worse she'd assume I wasn't coming back and then never call!) Anyway, I decided not to read too much into it; however, if it happens again, I'll call her on it.

I'd give your T a day and if she/he hasn't then I would call. T's are human and everybody forgets things.

it sucks when they don't call and they say that they would. pure and simple. (and not just t's...anyone...but especially t's).

i mean what if it is really something like a "semi-crisis"...not enough of a crisis to warrant calling the emergency # but enough to call? i've had that problem...i don't want to call the # and involve the t on call and start that chain where we have to talk to the on call who then has to reach t (even tho she has said its okay after leaving her a message with no response)..it just seems that should only be used for those serious "maybe i should go to the chez bin" type things.

what i do with people who don't call is kind of sneaky...i casually bring up in conversation that i think my phone must have been giving me problems because i expected all these calls the other day from people and no one ever returned my calls...how odd was that...and then i ask...you called right? were you able to get thru okay?

oh my bad...you forgot....you know they didn't call, they know they didn't call...let's see if they are honest or good fibbers.

kind of fun to see some folks squirm a little.

I would bring it up with her if its happend more than once. As well as being a t, she should treat you with professionalism- you are paying her after all. I hate it when Ts do this- they know how important they are to us, and sometimes I think they lose sight of that. There could be a good reason (hopefully) for her forgetting to call- but if you dont tell her she will never know how it makes you feel

Ts of all people should realize how important it is to follow through on what the tell people. Most people who say,"I will call you. " Do it because the don't know how to directly communicate or deal with a request. Ts at trained to communicate efficently.
