Voice Mail This e-mail is a venting over voice mail. The stimulus was my attempt to schedule my teeth cleaning. My dentist had problems with outstanding balances and with his receptionist who was being too easy and letting things slide. He fired this girl, who I happened to think was wonderful and hired an older woman as a replacement. He mentioned to me that her experience would clean things up. I had just one more appointment and when I returned two weeks later, I sensed the office atmosphere had cooled considerably, especially at the front desk. Later, my wife had a run in with this feisty old hag, which didn't fit well with me. I called to complain about her attitude and while quietly discussing this with her; she showed no respect for patients of her doctor for over 25 years. I let it slide since our dealing with the office was complete and I hoped she would be canned and booted out by the time my future cleaning occurred. No such luck. I called last week and was now left with the typical voice mail script, hit one for this and two for that and three and four etc. I was not pleased, in a hurry and wanted to speak with a human, preferably within the USA. So I hung up. I called again and actually spoke for a quick second with the mother of a female dog, just to be told, not asked, can I hold. Okay, I held. I could have adjusted three patients, took an x-ray and gave a decent report of findings before I hung up without speaking with her again. I called later and was ready to quickly jump in and tell I couldn't hold but she never blinked or gave me a chance. I hung up again. The following morning I called before they were opened to leave a message for a call back, but the damn voice mail left me no options to leave a message. Was this oversight or sabotage? I was pissed and disappointed that my trusty dentist had a practice stopping employee and hoped that his practice had not suffered for it. I also hoped that the outstanding bills, that stimulated this course of events, justified the firing of the girl before. To conclude, I next faxed a message to the office with a short but descriptive reason for not making my appointment requesting they call me back. A day went by and they didn't. I called a day later and hung up after twelve rings with no voice mail, ability to leave a message but miracle of miracles, they must have read my incoming call number and called back. Rather than speaking harshly to her, she apologized and an appointment was made. Trust me, I will make my point when I see the dentist next week. Moral of the story: If you call a colleagues office and get similar reactions, don't keep it a secret, be sure they know. It's very easy to not see the forest from the trees when you are deep in it.
