Cara W Snyder Md's Online Review Report Card

Just an update, this Doctor still has no respect for patients' time. After waiting for an hour for a 10am Monday morning appt scheduled 6 months in advance - I walked out without being seen.

I showed up at 8:00 a.m for an 8:20 a.m. appointment. My name was the first at the top of the sign in sheet. I sat in the waiting room where I could hear my name if it was called. Others came in after me, and were taken back to the exam room(s). After waiting 45 minutes past my appointment time I went up to the front desk to inquire how much longer it was going to be. I looked down at the sign in sheet and saw my name had been crossed off. No apology was given, I was told they were short handed and that it would be a few more more minutes until they could fit me in. Another 30 minutes went by and I still had not see Dr. Snyder. I asked again what was taking so long, they said they had computer problems. I inquired again after another 10 minutes and finally was called back to the exam room. I told Dr. Snyder what happened so he would not think I had been late for my appointment. He just blew it off like it was nothing. This is the second time something like this has happened to me at his office. I've been going to Dr. Snyder for at least 15 years but after that last incident I am changing doctors. The level of service there is very poor.

Stay away from this practice (Mecklenburg Dermatology Associates) unless you like paying exorbitant fees for very poor service. Actually I struggled with using "poor" or "no" in describing the level of service I experienced during my first visit to this Dr. Christopher Snyder. The purpose of my visit was an annual Dermatology check-up. I would be surprised if the time the Dr. was in the room with me exceeded 7 minutes. He asked no questions about my history...simply looked at the exposed skin, took out his little freeze tool and froze 2 spots on my head and said "have a good day" as he left the room. No discussion about "wear a hat" "stay out of the sun", "Is there a history of cancer in your family?". Also going to be very hard to see that cancerous mole on my thigh if you fail to look under my 10" inseam shorts. Bad enough...now for the bill a whopping $490.00 for this 7 minute visit. The breakdown...$290.00 for "New Patient Det" (what ever that is...) $231.00 for the freezes.

Showed up 8:15 for a 8:20 Apt. Called in to exam room - nurse asked why I was there? dr. had scheduled a FU visit. at 9:15 I had NOT seen the Dr. - Left
