Theodore Schneider, D.M.D ripoff A Rotten Dentist in Jacksonville Florida

Editor

I am not kidding. Do patients get reimbursed for the time they spent waiting at the dentist's office. No, they don't. Do we get anything in return for waiting for any reason. (Christmas time; mail takes longer to get to us, restaurant is full, have reservation and we still have to wait.) Your analogy is totally wrong. We wait all the time, doesn't mean we have to get paid if we do.

The doctor on the other hand have a schedule to keep, if a patient doesn't keep their appointment, they lose money, they're rather have quality patients that shows up on time than having patient who cancels the last minute.

I am answering the question on why she probably got dumped as a patient, if you don't like the reason, it's not my fault. Blame the game instead of trying to give analogy that don't make sense. Expecting to get paid cause they've waited in the waiting room? YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

Customer service? This is a Dental office, your a patient, not a customer, and don't you know that dental offices have schedules? And that if patient cancels without adequate notice (at least 24 hours) the time alloted to the patient who cancelled get's wasted. Meaning, the doctor have no patient and time is wasted. It only means that the office who discharged you or would no longer accepts you thinks of you as a problem patient and thus don't want you in their office. So patients like you are oftentimes dumped because it's in your character not to show up for your appointment due to some emergency. (like, it's raining and I don't have an umbrella)

Do you have a history of cancelling appointments at the last minute or being a no-show? If so, it is a very common practice for medical and dental practitioners (particularly solo practitioners) to give patient notice that he/she will no longer be seen. However, the dentist should have sent you a certified letter stating this BEFORE you called to make an appointment.
