Chonko Douglas J Ms Do

Had a spinal fusion done by Dr. Tharp. Went fine, hospital staff was wonderful. Went for 3 month follow up waited over 40 min in room, not a peep from anyone. I thought they may have forgotten me, therefore I stepped out of the room and asked the front desk if they had forgotten about me. I just got blank looks. Told them I needed to reschedule still nothing from them. As I was leaving an assistant said that I would be next she couldn't tell me how much longer I would have to wait. I was in pain and feeling ill at this point. (I had not taken any pain meds before that 8:45 am appointment) So I left an said I would call to reschedule my appointment, which I did when I got home and meds in my system. Latter that same day (around4:30 pm) the office called and canceled that follow up appointment stating that Dr. Tharp was not sure if he would want to have me as his patient any longer. What? How can a surgeon not follow up on his patients? My time is valuable also I do not do well with pain and discomfort. Would I go back to this doctor/office....not sure I would hope I would get some common respect for my time also. Just communicate with the patient let them know the doctor is running late.
