Alternative Medicine Practitioners - Tempe, AZ

"I missed my appointment yesterday because I was in another appointment with my MD and had my phone turned off since. I have both a urinary tract and sinus infection and have been bed ridden with complete exhaustion. I received a call from the office yesterday and once again today. Thinking that they were calling out of concern, I quickly found that they were simply calling to tell me that they're charging me a no show fee. Clara was quite snarky in telling me this. There was no concern whatsoever about why I uncharacteristically didn’t show for my appointment or any empathy whatsoever about being so ill that I can’t eat or even get out of bed. The lack of compassion for a patient is unreal! I’ve often felt like just a number when I’ve gone to my visits and now it’s been confirmed that all Dr. Bates cares about it making a quick buck. If you're looking for a chiropractor who cares about their patients, look elsewhere. I've also noticed that there is a lot of staff turnover, which makes me wonder how he treats his staff. "
