DS has Autism and takes meds that require a psychiatrist. We moved to Texas in July. We had 15 years of medical history at Vanderbilt U (neurology and psychiatry).
We got a referral to a psychiatrist here. Made an appointment 62 days ago.
The appointment was today.
DH flew home from working out of state a day early to attend.
Did extensive paperwork.
Attached all the necessary files, including conservator docs.
Paid the $250 initial fee by check.
Waited 40 minutes.
At which point the office lady comes out and says the doctor has looked over our info and has decided to get out of treating Autistic patients and is not going to take us on as patients.
We can stop by next Tuesday to pick up a referral and a refund of our fee.
Really?
Dh insisted that we would not be leaving without the check or a refund...the office person tried to insist that a refund was not possible today...yeah right. She eventually found a way to back the whole thing out of her system and issue a refund.
I can accept that you might want to take your practice in a different direction...but if you had listened to me on the day we spoke on the phone 62 days ago...you could've saved us all a lot of time and trouble and Dh could have not missed a day and a half of work for nothing.
I seriously think we are going to keep our Nashville psych for a while and just go back for visits. Anything is better than this stupidness.
