Dobin Andrew S MD

My father came to live with us after my mother passed away so we needed to get him a new doctor in this area. He is an 84-​year-​old heart patient with Alzheimer’s. It took 3 weeks and quite a bit of paperwork to get an appointment with Dr. Hoeck (in Dr. Dobin’s office). My father became ill suddenly about an hour before the appointment. I called to reschedule and was told by the office manager that if a new patient cancels the initial appointment we cannot reschedule. I have lost 3 weeks that I could have been using to find another doctor. Had I been informed of this policy when I made the appointment I would not have made it because in my dad’s situation there is ALWAYS the possibility that something can happen on the day of the appointment. I expected to pay a fee, but not to be told he is no longer eligible to be a patient. New patients beware…
