“I have been bringing my two sons to Dangond’s Pediatric for the past nine years, and we have always had a positive experience with Dr Dangond and associates. His care and dedication have been nothing short of amazing.
However, I wanted to share some concerns regarding our most recent visit. Since COVID, we have noticed a gradual decline with the delays and office staff. After scheduling my son’s physical a month in advance, we were informed upon arrival that there would be a 1-2 hour wait time. While I understand that delays can happen, we were not notified in advance, which left us unprepared for such a long wait.
When I inquired about the wait time, I was confronted by the office manager, who identified herself as Dr. Dangond’s wife. Unfortunately, the interaction was quite unpleasant. She questioned why we had scheduled a physical in the afternoon, suggesting it was our fault for choosing the busiest time. She also questioned why we had chosen to schedule in July instead of June. Her tone was dismissive and unprofessional, leaving us feeling undervalued as patients.
While we greatly appreciate the care we receive from Dr. Dangond, the experience with the office staff was disappointing. The attitude and professionalism of the staff are crucial to the overall patient experience, and unfortunately, this interaction fell far below the standard we have come to expect.
Had we been informed of the potential delays, we would have planned accordingly or rescheduled the appointment to avoid any inconvenience. I hope that this feedback can be used constructively to improve communication and patient care in the future. As to my family, we will not be returning, nor recommending this practice.
