I am dumbfounded at this doctor's policies. Twelve years ago (in '02) we took our 6 year-old son to see this guy for ADHD a few times before moving-on to a better doctor in Tampa. My son got better soon so he hasn't seen anyone for this for about 10 years. Now, today, I call his office to set an appt for my son, who is now 18, for the same reason - ADHD. As the receptionist is taking my info she suddenly stops and says - "he's been here before" in a tone of voice that told me something wasn't right. I was like "OK", "so what?" Well, she goes on to explain to me that back in April of '04 I called the office and told them we wouldn't need the doctor's services anymore so she tells me the doc "terminated" my son. I asked "you mean he won't see him again" and she replies in the affirmative. I cleared my throat and then asked if this was normal policy w/shrinks as I'd never heard anything like it before and she gives me some politically-correct crap about not being able to speak for some other practice and I said "no - just out of commons-sense, do you know of any GPs that do that?" and she gives me the same BS, pat answer - something she has obviously done many times before. So I'm thinking to myself - this guy fired my six year-old!??? HOW DOES THIS GUY STAY IN BUSINESS!?? HOW CAN THIS WOMAN WORK FOR HIM KNOWING THAT HE MIGHT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO GIVE HER A RAISE IF HE WEREN'T SUCK A SUPERCILIOUS, INSIGNIFICANT TWERP! Did they think I would beg for an appointment? HAH!
I have been going to Dr Taylor & have taken 2 family members as well after our 3rd visit we are DONE !! ALL 3 of us ! The Office Lady/Manager KATHY is the RUDEST, coldest woman Ive EVER come across & Dr Taylor is very aware of her actions! He has been told by myself as well as 2 other patients as we all spoke one afternoon when he was running LATE! 2.5 hours late ! Why would a Dr tolerate such behavior? I refuse to continue to pay his staff to treat me rude !
