To my horror, my 8/10 Stanford gastroenterologist appointment was cancelled the day before. Their claim was that I needed a 40min visit since I had never seen Dr Stephan Rogalla before and that the scheduled 20min visit was a mistake on their end. I tried negotiating with the lady on the phone, but got no results. She absolutely refused to let me see Dr Rogalla on the tenth.
Dr Rogalla’s next available time slots are in December so I allowed them to schedule me with Dr Alice Cheng on September 9th. What makes this additional month of delay extra shitty is the fact that I’ve been waiting since April. To be honest, I suppose there isn’t too much else the doctor would recommend that I’m not already doing; however, getting professional confirmation and analysis of my GERD would be great.
