Today I had another NCNS. The first was a provided that I had seen on three previous occasions and she was traveling from Des Moines to Iowa City and I understand that is a long drive, but to not show or call to cancel is rude. Today.
Two days ago I sent a pm through this site with references and was asked to phone to set up an appointment. I had to leave a voice mail and with her instructions to remind her that I had spoken to her on this site, which I did and there is still no reply.
Today I had another NCNS. Yesterday I sent a pm explaining who I was and received notice that she had checked my reverences and verifications. We spent sometime setting up the appointment using the pm. I followed the instructions to phone when I was leaving for the appointment and had to leave a voice mail. A little later I received a text telling me that she had missed my call. I phoned again and was informed that she was running about one hour late and I told her to phone when she arrived. There never was a phone call. I also had to drive 30 minutes to make the appointment.
Is this the way providers work in Iowa? I use a very reputable site, but it looks like I may need to use the BP, which I try to avoid like the plague. There is a lot of talk on here about staying off the BP, even by respected providers, but it seems like it is just talk.
