Providence Medical Group – North Everett

I had a 10:20 apt. I finally saw the Doctor slightly after 12:00. During the wait time I was given a voucher to go eat in the cafeteria which I did. I was called back shortly after noon. The doctor was polite and knowledgeable. He explained every thing to me, but lacked tillin other areas. He seemed more interested in sharing his pedigree with me then to my upcoming surgery. He also has an accent which made it difficult to understand at times. At the end of my appointment he left to go enter the chart notes on the computer system. After waiting 10 minutes for him to return, I went to the front desk. I asked if I could leave and was asked if I had had my cheek swabbed for MRSA. I sad no and was asked to return to my room and someone would be there shortly. My doctor had said nothing about that. I found myself waiting once again. Soon the nurse that sent me back to the exam room came and told me I could leave and she would phone the next day to schedule the next two tests. The next day I waited and waited I finally phoned them at 4:00 pm. The person who answered the phone looked up my chart and could not find anything about the two tests and asked if she could call me the next day. I told her I knew the names of the test and I really wanted to schedule then today. About that time she found the names of the additional tests and then told me the scheduler was not there today and they would have to call me the next day. I look forward to the call should they call. How can anyone trust a doctor with such a poorly ran office to do any type of surgery on you? I know I won’t!
Another day and still no phone call.
