Rude and unhelpful doctor

Rude and ***********<br> I am part of the new smart plan with discover medical aid and was at the doc who refused to see me because I had no medical aid card. The receptionist has no fax no email and would not call discovery for proof of membership even though I have given her my medical aid number. What kind of a doctor is this who doesn't care for a sick patient and is more concerned about money than health care. Why did you take an oath to help if all you worry about is money. You make me sick excuse the pun. Furthermore I arranged an appointment with another doctor on the plan who didn't have a problem seeing me without any proof... Take a lesson from a real doctor.

Hello shaist04,

Thank you for your comment.

I have tried contacting you but you were unable to take my calls.

I have sent you communication requesting the provider's details so that we may investigate the matter. Due, however, to the ********* conduct described in the email you will need to report this to the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). You can send them an email on *** or you may call them on ***. They will investigate the matter and take the necessary steps to address your concerns.

Should you have any further queries that you may require assistance with, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Regards

Megan
