Every interaction I’ve had with anybody from here has consistently been negative.
First off, I made an appointment thinking I got an appointment with the Dr. Weinstock but it turned out that I got his other nurse practitioner associate/partner, David. Fine. But it got annoying to continue paying money to continuously get interrupted while speaking. Granted he had good points, but may I please finish my sentence at least? It wasn’t just the first appointment as I realized he did it time and time again the next few visits too.
Not only that, he offered me samples of generic brands of medication one visit. He almost forgot by the end of my appointment and I had to remind him. Not a big deal. But when I googled it what he gave me when I got home, it was a completely different kind of medication (as in, NOT what I was currently on!)
By then, I wasn’t sure I wanted to come back but I really wanted to try and get better for myself so I called in to make an appointment. The receptionist told me that she’d take my number down for David to call me when he’s back in the office. I thought it strange but I didn’t want to stay on the line, as she sounded like I was annoying her. Of course, the message was never relayed anyway.
I missed the new appointment (that I clearly had to call back to make no thanks to the receptionist) due to the fact that I got in a car accident literally driving on my way there. I was told I was going to be charged a late cancelation fee, but it apparently was a different story once I said I can provide a police report for proof. Regardless, I decided to reschedule.
I ended up calling ahead of their 24-hour window to cancel the rescheduled appointment because I decided I just really didn’t want to go back. It’d just been so awful any time I had to deal with anything or anyone that was affiliated with the Florida Psychiatric Center.
But let me tell you about the icing on the cake! I receive a reminder call saying I still owed them money. I called and a receptionist told me it was because of the last appointment I canceled on them. Umm, excuse me? I called a week ahead of time so there is not supposed to be a cancelation fee, but then when I reiterated that, it meant nothing. However, something must have clicked when I said I found a different doctor and she rudely stated “we’ll take care of it” before HANGING UP ON ME. Just wow.
