AllianceHealth Medical Group Women’s Health — Durant

I will say I am not a local. I am here temporarily due to my partner’s work. When I set up the appointment I let them know I was high risk. I mentioned it again at the first appointment. Being told I have rheumatoid arthritis was the reason and they seemed to think that wasn’t much of a risk. However, there is so much more behind that. I am on blood thinners and now have gestational diabetes. All that to say I don’t feel I was taken seriously at this practice. I felt since I wouldn’t be delivering here they had me on the way out from the beginning. The first appointment seemed good and I was so hopeful. The next appointment I waited for a doctor I never saw. I ended up seeing someone else other than who I was scheduled to see. Was finally told my results from my test a month after it was done. Only after they were coming in to repeat the test because they didn’t see that I had it already. Told them I had a log of my blood sugars, but they didn’t want to see them since I was diagnosed in my home state. Then, after all that I am told by my home doctor I need a scan at 28 weeks. When I called and asked I was put off several times and ultimately told MFMs normally do the ultrasounds. Also, I was never not once offered a referral to an MFM. I suppose that’s my fault for not pushing for one. I only made it abundantly clear I was high risk. They told me I needed to go back to NC for my scans since I was delivering there. Not told once, but twice. Well if it was that easy I would do it. I called and got into another clinic in Ada. Totally worth the hour drive. They got all my records, did a scan, looked at my blood sugar, and talked to me about my concerns and sent the information to NC. I am so glad I went to them because the scan was indeed needed during this time period. They also talked about a referral to an MFM. I wouldn’t recommend anyone go to this clinic in Durant. Especially if you are only receiving prenatal care and happen to not deliver there. Extremely disappointing.

Our appointment was scheduled at 11 am. It is now almost 1 pm and i am still in the waiting room. I understand the doctors get busy and things happen. I am a retired doctor myself so trust me I understand. If you are this far behind make phone calls to patients and let them know. We can reschedule l, come at another time. Something better than This. All this tells me is that you are apoplectic to your patients time and you just want the money. I will not and can not be apart of a clinic that is more worried about being paid than the patient and their needs as well. This is my first amd last time I will ever be here. I will suggest to my better half that we go to a different clinic that is more concerned about ty be patient, than the pocket book. I would suggest that if you make patients wait this long you offer lunch.
