I had the unfortunate pleasure of speaking with Emily Frances Jones. She was rude, belittling, and did nothing to treat me nor address my concerns.

Overall Rating: 2.0 2021-08-11

Did not even get to see the doctor. Receptionist told me I needed to call Aetna to change my PCP while I was filling out the paperwork. Aetna said they would change the PCP and give me a confirmation number but it could take 24 hours to 3 days to actually reflect. I asked if I could keep my appt using the confirmation number that Aetna provided. She said no, I will have to make a new appointment. Then she says they don't have any more appts with the doctor and I could see a nurse practitioner. Then those appts are several weeks out. I think she was basically concerned about going home early.
