I called and left a message the day that I had my pessary put in. They did not call me back at all. I had to call the next day at 3 o'clock I thought I might have to come in and have it re-put back in. And they didn't even call me. And I'm very upset about that.

Everything was fine, but I had to wait very, very long and run in to another appointment that I had. I had to cancel. So it was an extremely long wait. My appointment was at 10.30. I was on time, and I didn't get to see the doctor until an hour and a half later.
