*Dr. Palat is always wonderful.

03/09/2022

My appt was the follow-up to get results of my low-dose CT scan. When I arrived to check in I was informed that my appt had been cancelled the previous month but they could not figure out why... *Dr. Palat said I could still be seen - the nurse who called me back told me twice that I was LATE! I told her I was actually early, but my appt was canc'd out of the system = I was already anxious about 'messing up' their day by being 'fit in', so her insistence that I was late really annoyed me, making my blood pressure reading go high - I also did not have a spirometry test, which the nurse usually gives me before the doctor sees me. *Dr. Palat was fantastic, as always, & I know that none of this was his doing. Nor should HE get low marks because of these oversights.
