I read some of the negative reviews, and I'm very sorry that those people had such a bad experience with Trappe Family Practice.
Personally, I think the experience, help and physicians are excellent. When it comes to the staff and nurses, I understand that there job is very stressful - so they may not always act as kind and as professional as they should. Still, I've rarely had that type of experience.
My doctor is Dr. Kathryn Hennessey, and she is excellent. She will sit there and speak with you, listen to your problems and concerns, and help you as much as possible. She will not get involved in issues with medical appointments and procedures getting in the way of school and work, but the staff knows to write a note (and the doctor has never denied me) and give reason as to why time away is necessary and had or has to be taken.
I forget the man who is a colleague of her's, but there is another (male) doctor who is just as great as Dr. Hennessey. He has a great bed side manner and is very caring about helping for patients. I wish I could remember his name, because he deserves a lot of kudos too.
I've never had issue with getting an appointment when I was sick and needed to get in ASAP. I've never had an issue with getting an appointment when I just had issues to discuss that weren't immediate. The office and the doctors are very busy, so yes - unless it's immediate need - a person may have to wait a while to get in.
Lastly, but I've always had this complaint with all doctors, the wait time in the office is horrible. Again, I've had this issue with all my doctors (not just in this office or even associated with this office) in my life. The wait time is just too long and I wish there was something that could be done about it.
Thanks for reading, if you did. Overall, I would say give them a chance. They may be for you, they may not, but overall the doctors are good people.
