My frustration was that when I received a call about my daughter's MRI results and the doctor called me to talk about it, he told me what our options were and I let him know (for the second or third time) that we definitely wanted to have surgery to remove the lipoma. He then stated that the office would call us to schedule "it." I assumed that "it" was the surgery. We received a phone call and made the appointment, but when we arrived at the hospital, that was not the case. My previous experience with having a lipoma removed was quick and in the doctor's exam room. I had expected something similar for my daughter, especially considering his words on the phone. This was very frustrating. We live over an hour away, we've had multiple appointments for something I feel like should have taken two, and we are self pay so these extraneous appointments are not being billed to an amorphous insurance company, but me. If we needed one more appointment to discuss the exact same thing that was discussed over the phone, literally having the exact same conversation, I would have liked for that to be clear beforehand. My reaching out over the app was to confirm the purpose of the appointment. No one had said for my daughter to go in fasting and I wanted to know if it was needed. I wanted to make sure that surgery was the purpose of the appointment. Instead no one got back to me and I feel like my time and money were wasted.
