Good mammogram experience
July 30, 2004
I was REALLY dreading having my mammogram done. I've been going to the same place which is close to the house (RHD Medical Center, which should really be called Robert H. Dedman Hospital and was for YEARS), and it was a real pain.
You'd call, make an appointment and they wouldn't be available for months, and it would take up most of an afternoon.
Not this trip. Though its start out frustrating. The doctor doesn't have the right number for scheduling, and had to call the number he had twice before I got an answer and they gave me a number that didn't answer at all after two calls. I called the main hospital number and they did verify the second number. That trip, I got someone on the first ring.
AND they were able to schedule me the next day, for this morning.
My appointment was for 9:30, and was told to arrive 30 minutes early for paperwork. I went through express check in -- which wasn't available before and sent right to Radiology (that was true), waiting only minutes, and was in and out. Arrived back at the car at 9:30.
Can't beat that service and it wasn't even painful -- I remember it being painful before.
I stopped and told registration how pleased I was life was better.
