Doha Clinic - Doctor Gynecology

plz disclose the name of doc and the name of other staff so that next time ppl will aware abt this and any how that doc will also know how such a big mistake he has done? At least that doc know this thing so next time he wouldn't do that.

U can tell the higher authorty so next time it shd not be happen. DOn't ignore case bcoz who will be responsible if something wrong will happen

I just went there this week and was told that the doctor in question does not take appointments and works at her own leisure. I chose to see the male gynecologist (first time ever for me) and he was actually very friendly, polite and professional. Also, he was available right away, no waiting.

I would like to thank you all for your valuable comments and opinions. I agree with your opinion about DC staff being friendly snd the best place in Doha with high level of Doctors as i have visited more than 5 different doctors there during my last years in Doha. That was specially my main reason of sharing that incident with you here in QL as i was dissapointed of what i have faced.

Once again thanks for your valuable time spent and comments written.

DC is best place for Local.

Medical Ethics and Behavior Either your patients/clients missed or not you don't have the right to speak rude to the patients. The Roles and responsibilities of the Doctors and other medical related staffs are to serves according to their fields and not being a Jerk Law makers in Jury "Judge" and not to give a verdict in a court of justice by saying its a PUNISHMENT for being late. He/She doesn't have the right to say so. If yes then he/she must change profession.

Being late is normal especially if you are with pregnant woman who can't just jump and hook up in other stage, I may suggest try to get an appointment with other OB/GYN and Good Luck.

WK did you visit the same gynaecologist?

I personally find the staff of Doha Clinic very polite and friendly :o)

You wnat them to go and investigate every doctor or health care professional that speaks in a manner you consider rude and don't like? Talk about a pathetic Nanny State mentality....

You have to complain to Ministry of Health, against the Doctor behaiviour. Dr's behaiviour should be calm and quite. I know the Dr as well. She use to rough talk always to the patient. Not only for you. So please write a complain to Ministry of Health or Supreme Council of Health. Office near Fire station R/A.

and she should have allowed you to take a new numner and wait until your turn. I assume you would have learned your lesson and not left at that point. That said, if they refused to let you take a new number for a missed appointment then they are being punitive. However, I suspect that is because of ride people like UKeng who come and go as they please, lying about missing their appointments, and expecting to be slipped in in front of those who have been patiently waiting their turn.

I will kick up a HUGE fuss with the manager. People like you abuse the whole system for the queue here and would never do that back home. You must think your time is more important than everyone else's and I can assure you it is not.

I don't. Still you're entitled to your own opinion, as they say ( in other parts of the world ) :).

Here, it depends on who is the vendor and the customer.

Always doesn't apply

Cheers! I'm having green tea :)

All what you advised was suggested bymself.

I`v offered to take a new, fresh number to wait for my normal regular turn. That means after the whole patients arrived before me to be attended first then my wife!!!!which is fair enough to any normal person isn`t it???....However, that was against her rules dude.

yes infact I have done that and politely told the staff I missed my turn due to circumstances beyond my control like saying Nature called and I had to visit the loos. They most of the time buy that and let me see them..

ex.ex.expat.. The truth of the matter is that there is no proper patient care and customer care in this part of the world.

Where as in the west they say the customer is always right, here it is the opposite that the vendor is always right.

marie_2 what I mean is that the not only in DC but the region as a whole the patience care is out patient secondary in my opinion. Not sure you will agree with me or not.

UK, forgive my ignorance... what does apathy of the DC staff means ? :)

take a number, then go do your shopping all over the mall, pick up your kids from school, go wash you car and drop off the drycleaning, only to return to QTEL at your convenience and jump to the front of the cue?

When you take a number, you stay until it is your turn.

marie_2 or is it due the apathy of DC staff?

You don't take a number to wait in a queue and then go do something else while others wait their turns, and expect to waltz back in when it suits you and see the doctor after throwing their whole system out of line. You should have to take a new number and start all over at the END of the list. Hope you learned your lesson and now understand your time in no more valuable than everyone else's.

long time at the OB-GYN because they nmight be ub a delievry or emergency. You will want them to tend your wife when her time comes and not leave her to go make her office appointments, right?

For popular doctors such as herself, waiting is the norm.

The nurse could have sweetened that word, but there it goes... Patients knows when it's their turn, so letting your wife to be seen 1st would have created hell for her, missed out or not.

Aside from clinical works, she may have deliveries to attend, and hospital rounds to make. Taking another # would have placed you at the bottom.

Anyway, thanks for the info, i hate waiting for hours. I'll visit another dr. :)

Its Simple , if you wanna get treatment by Doctor MXXX who by the way is the best in town you should just bear it, or else be on time. We had a similar situation and my baby was delivered by her by the Gods grace so i know. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not allowing reschedualing is one of my concerns about that visit ???

2nd:That is the DR`s PUNISHMENT for being late(SAID the NURSE)...... The nurse was very clear saying the above

Thanks Chelsea for your fair Judgement

The OP has every right to name & shame to warn others of their experience.

Find another doctor - if I'd waited 4 hours the first time, I wouldn't have gone back again!!

I think this should be discussed here, since she is a pregnant women and its related to our community..

finding another doctor is not a solution.. lets wait if someone had the same issue.

Big EGO and naming it discipline....you missed an appointment, your fault but why not allow rescheduling? Find another doc for your wife.

P.S: Not a good idea to defame anyone in local website. Hence, requesting MODs to delete name of the doc from the post.

best thing dont go there again..
