Disappointing
Service
and
Lack
of
Patient
Care:
Dr.
Michael
Cecchini
was
my
doctor.
I
was
referred
to
this
clinic
by
a
hospital,
and
I
expected
a
better
quality
of
service
but
extremely
disappointed.
During
my
first
visit,
before
making
a
payment,
I
showed
the
receptionist
a
paper
from
my
insurance,
specifying
that
I
needed
a
breakdown
of
the
service
date,
including
the
cost,
provincial
procedure
code(s),
and
patient
diagnosis
in
my
receipt
(the
same
information
submitted
to
OHIP).
The
receptionist
assured
me
that
this
would
be
provided.
However,
when
I
later
checked
the
receipt,
I
noticed
that
the
codes
were
wrong
and
the
table
was
not
properly
filled
out!
As
a
result,
my
claims
were
rejected.
When
I
contacted
the
clinic
to
explain
the
issue
and
request
a
correction
(I
had
to
be
persistent
to
finally
get
a
response),
they
treated
my
request
disrespectfully
and
even
demanded
an
additional
$50
for
each
corrected
document
they
would
send!
I
really
regret
to
see
such
behavior.
It
looks
like
they
are
looking
at
their
clinic
as
a
business
center.
(this
view
point
is
even
reflected
in
the
about
us
page
of
the
clinic
where
dr.
Michael
Cecchini
feels
proud
as
he
could
fund
this
clinic
right
after
graduation
and
they
have
a
lot
of
patients!
(Well
done!
but
as
a
potential
patient,
I
would
prefer
to
see
a
commitment
to
patient
care.)
This
attitude
ultimately
results
in
treating
patients
like
customers
or
mere
sources
of
income.
The
doctor
didn't
even
take
the
time
to
explain
why
he
prescribed
antibiotics
during
my
brief
visit
and
declined
my
test
request.
I
had
to
visit
another
time
after
learning
that
if
I
asked,
the
doctor
should
have
performed
the
test.
Though,
I
still
haven't
received
my
test
results
after
3
months.
(Supposed
to
be
4-6
weeks)
I
think
I
should
also
mention
in
my
second
visit
I
encountered
a
very
caring
nurse
who
carefully
responded
to
all
my
questions.
She
even
came
out
to
the
reception
area
to
explain
my
diagnosis
from
the
previous
visit
and
why
I
should
use
my
medicine,
which
I
deeply
appreciate!
I
wish
to
be
lucky
enough
to
encounter
more
of
such
people
in
my
life!
