I have been seeing Dr.Vermeulen for about 7 yrs. and I think she is very caring and thorough. She would always send me for tests that she thought I needed. Thankfully for her, she suggested I see a Neurosurgeon who found a herniated disk for which I had surgery. Unfortunately, she has left the practice and I was never even informed. I am also leaving the office,(which is very small and dated,) because the staff is very rude. You are stuck on hold for an average of 10 mins. just to get an appt. As I was waiting in the office today a man came in to pick up a prescription he had called for earlier. I could not believe the way he was spoken to. He said he had called to see if it was ready but was on hold for 20 mins. I believe that! and he was sent away, after being rudely chastised in front of the waiting room. Also I had a blood draw appt. for 1:00, got there at 12:50 and signed in after a man ( who is known by the staff) who had a blood draw appt scheduled for 1:30 . The Phlebotomist came out and motioned with her finger for him to come to the Lab. Sneaky! When I questioned this I was told his appt was for 12:45. Liar.. Then why did he sign in for a 1:30 appt. He just decided to come early and they just took him. I finally got in at 1:20. To top it off I had to pay $10.00 just to have my blood drawn. If I had known I would have picked up the script and went to Quest directly. I have never paid for blood work before. What a scam, I was lucky to have $10.00 on me because they don't take credit. Again, antiquated. Rude, Rude, Rude, that's all I can say! and farewell!\r
