Review
for
Dr.
Miranda
office
TL-DR;
given
an
appointment
3
weeks
out,
rescheduled
by
office
the
next
day
for
5
weeks
out.
Never
received
paperwork
they
said
weād
get,
no
appointment
reminders
given,
I
was
charged
incorrectly
for
a
copay,
we
waited
over
an
hour
to
be
seen
just
to
be
told
the
doctor
doesnāt
treat
the
ailment
my
daughter
was
there
for
and
to
go
elsewhere.
Would
not
recommend
this
office.
More
details:
My
12yo
daughter
suddenly
developed
trigger
finger
in
early
July.
We
made
an
appointment
with
her
pediatrician,
who
referred
us
to
Dr.
Mirandaās
office
citing
him
as
a
specialist
in
hands.
I
made
that
appointment
directly
after
we
left
the
pediatrician,
placing
the
call
08/14/23
for
the
first
available
appointment
which
was
3
weeks
later
on
09/5/2023.
The
very
next
day,
08/15/23,
I
received
a
call
from
Patty
with
Bossier
Orthopedics,
stating
that
my
daughter
had
been
booked
on
a
day
Dr.
Miranda
had
some
sort
of
training
and
they
couldnāt
see
her
now
until
Sept.
18,
adding
an
additional
2
weeks
to
her
wait.
Needless
to
say,
that
was
quite
frustrating
as
my
daughter
was
in
pain
daily
and
it
was
not
our
fault
we
were
booked
incorrectly.
I
was
informed
Iād
be
sent
a
new-patient
information
packet
via
mail,
which
I
never
did
receive.
We
also
never
received
any
appointment
reminders
via
phone
or
text
like
I
have
for
any
other
WK
appointment.
Fortunately
I
didnāt
need
the
reminder,
but
itās
worth
noting
that
none
were
given
as
many
rely
on
those.
We
showed
up
to
the
appointment
a
half
hour
early
to
fill
out
all
the
paperwork.
I
was
charged
a
copay
incorrectly
but
the
charge
was
voided
when
it
came
to
their
attention,
so
at
least
that
was
corrected
quickly.
We
were
called
back
several
minutes
after
our
appointment
time
despite
being
so
early.
When
we
walked
into
a
room,
the
nurse
had
to
brush
hairs
off
the
table
before
my
daughter
placed
her
hand
on
it
to
be
looked
at.
Gross.
We
gave
the
nurse
an
overview
and
she
said
my
daughter
would
get
an
X-ray
then
we
would
see
Dr.
Miranda.
She
directed
me
where
to
stand
in
the
room
so
Dr.
Miranda
could
talk
to
me.
(Noting
because
of
the
juxtaposition
of
detailed
care
for
this
particular
office/doctor.)
My
daughter
was
then
collected
for
her
X-ray
by
a
hurried
nurse
with
a
brash
demeanor.
Then
we
waited
close
to
an
hour
before
the
doctor
came
in
and
quickly
informed
us
that
he
does
not
treat
pediatric
trigger
finger
and
we
would
āhave
to
see
a
different
specialist
at
Shrinerāsā
hospital
but
he
would
look
at
it.
When
the
doctor
finally
saw
her
finger,
it
was
back
to
normal
without
pain,
so
he
seemed
miffed
that
we
were
taking
time
in
his
office
for
an
ailment
that
wasnāt
currently
present.
(Her
trigger
finger
is
only
in
the
morning
and
lasts
up
to
2
hours
and
the
pain
scale
is
anywhere
from
a
0-7
as
noted
in
her
paperwork.
Had
she
been
seen
earlier
in
the
month
or
especially
in
the
day,
it
would
have
been
obvious.)
He
seemed
annoyed
that
I
had
questions
but
did
scribble
the
name
of
the
other
specialist
when
I
asked
for
it
specifically.
He
seemed
very
hurried
and
like
we
were
wasting
his
time.
Why
at
no
point
were
we
told
upon
making
the
appointment,
then
then
rescheduling
it
on
us,
checking
in,
or
getting
X-rays
that
this
was
not
something
this
doctor
treated?
They
asked
every
time
what
she
was
there
for.
Why
were
we
originally
scheduled
on
a
day
the
doctor
could
not
see
patients?
Why
were
we
informed
we
would
get
a
paper
packet
via
mail
if
they
never
intended
to
send
one?
Why
were
we
never
given
any
form
of
appointment
reminder?
Why
were
we
incorrectly
charged
a
copay
that
then
had
to
be
voided?
Why
did
we
wait
5
weeks
for
an
appointment
and
an
hour+
to
be
seen
when
this
isnāt
something
this
doctor
treats?
This
was
the
most
frustrating
appointment
experience
Iāve
ever
had
through
WK
or
otherwise.
I
donāt
know
if
this
lack
of
organization
and
communication
stems
from
the
doctor,
the
Bossier
Orthopedics
office
staff,
or
elsewhere,
but
they
need
to
do
better.
If
we
ever
need
to
see
an
orthopedic
doctor
again,
I
will
be
seeking
another
option.
