Dr. Ervil has very poor communication and bedside manner for a trained and educated Dr. As his patient, a 6 year old who fasted the 12 hours and an additional 4 while awaiting his services in office only to be dismissed from the office. I mentioned the extensive wait to Dr. Ervil and he followed with “ do you want to argue or hear about the procedure”. I stated “ I’m not arguing” which was not the right response for him because he then excused himself and informed his staff that he would not be performing the procedure on his 6 year old patient that fasted to the point of atrophy because I “was being argumentative”. I was so baffled I left questioning what constitutes an argument. I even had to ask the secretary the reason for the dismissal. In any event it’s negligent of the doctor because the patient is left to cope with dental pain and discomfort because Dr. Ervil was offended that I mentioned the 4 hour wait. I waited because the patient was my priority. Dr. Ervil chose not to perform the surgery because his emotional and long day was his priority, not his 6 year old patient in dental pain that fasted a total of 16 hours specifically for his services. Never mind the $900 out of pocket fee. He showed no regard for his position and duty as well as his patient. He’s a doctor and should hold himself to the standard of prioritizing the need of each and every patient. Caretaker communication and bedside manner is apart of the job description. I wanted to talk to a trained, educated Doctor. Not an undutiful anesthesiologist. I typically avoid people that don’t take pride in their work and carry on in spite of the petty challenges which for most careers are those meaningless conversations. Nevertheless it’s apart of the job description and a question at the end of the day doesn’t entitle your feelings over your patient. I was there as long as him and got absolutely nothing but embarrassment. At least he got paid. The 6 year old patient has to resort to pain management until rescheduled which can take months.
