I already felt that Dr. Feenstra was simply blas about providing excellent care, when I had a defining experience with him. I was on my way (driving 45 minutes) to see him, needing to discuss lab results, to receive a referral to a specialist, and to get a refill on a prescription. I came upon an accident on I-96, which slowed me down considerably, so I called his office to tell them I'd be about 10 minutes late (no big deal, since I always wait 25 minutes there anyway). I was told that I would have to reschedule my appointment--even though I'd driven 30 minutes already. Oh well, they do need to keep their schedule, I guess, so I asked when the next avail appt was...THREE WEEKS away, I was told. Rather upset, I took the appt, turned around, and headed back home. fifteen minutes later, I realized that it was time for my scheduled appt. I called the office again, asking if I could speak with Dr. Feenstra briefly, since I knew he wasn't busy with another patient--as this time that… had been blocked off for me. (I had a few ?'s and wondered if he could phone my Rx into the pharmacy so I wouldn't have to do without meds for 3 weeks.) The receptionist put me on hold for five minutes and then came back and told me, "That's not how it works. You have to wait [three weeks] for your appt to talk to him." I fired Dr. Feenstra then and there.I know that doctors don't generally make house calls anymore, but a doctor who won't TAKE your calls? I call that very feeble.
