Night sweats gone!
She goes the extra miles to care for you.
I have experienced so many doctors that don’t care .
But not Dr Bodon she the real deal
A place to find safe medical care.
I'd love to tell you about the second visit, but Im finding it to be completely impossible to actually get through on their phone system to make an appointment. I've left messages to call back, phone number to call back, and stayed on hold until the system just ends the call randomly.
I found Dr. Bodon through my insurance and gave them a call to make an appointment for a minor procedure that was already a year overdue due to the pandemic. I called Dr. Bodon’s office in March od 2021, and the front of the office was immediately rude to me. I was so taken aback by the woman’s tone. I never have these types of issues with businessed and really try to be amenable, but she just lacked total empathy. My questions were about how much the initial appointment would be and she told me that she could not tell me until they ran it through my insurance during the appointment, but she was much ruder than was needed. I was told I needed to come in for a consult before my minor procedure. I was able to get an appointment a month in advance. A few days before my appointment in April, I was called and told Dr. Bodon was getting a surgery and I needed to reschedule. I had no problem with this, but again the woman calling me was very rude. I had already requested time off for this appointment, which meant I was losing money and time off at work, but still I understand I was empathetic. I did not receive the same from them.
I got another appointment in May. I get to my appointment and again the front of the office staff is cold but fine. I wait for the doctor close to an hour. I first spoke to an assistant once I was in the back who weighed me, took blood pressure, etc. It all took less than 5 minutes. She said Dr. Bodon would be with me soon. Dr. Bodon came in and I instantly could see she was rushed. She barely let me speak, wouldn’t look me in the eyes, and just looked at my paperwork. I had questions, concerns, I had to stop her in her tracks to ask her about other forms of birth control and she looked thoroughly annoyed. This all took 2 minutes, but she wanted me to make my decision. I felt rushed but still made my decision under pressure. Dr. Bodon walked me to the front and asks one of the women in the front to file a request with my insurance. Everything was fine at this point.
Then months pass. I call Dr. Bodon’s office. The front of office is still rude, cuts me off, I keep apologizing to get anywhere with them and am then told that my paperwork was never filed, and my request had never been sent. I began to develop really concerning side effects/pain and called them because of my concerns three more times. Same issue. Each time I apologize profusely for bothering to try to get any information. They had no empathy, care, information, or concern for me. I don’t hear back from them, but I see that they charge me $400 for Dr. Bodon’s two minutes months before. Finally, today, more than 5 months later I receive a call that the device I was interested in and that Dr. Bodon recommended was not available and that they could only proceed with the two devices I have no interest in. It's been infuriating beyond words, and I really concern for the woman that Dr. Bodon’s office has treated this way. Part of me wonders if she treats non-white clients this way and forces them into certain forms of contraception, they are not comfortable with. Her office is not client centered, trauma informed, or culturally competent. I would never trust Dr. Bodon with my body or family planning options. Shame on her and her office.
I Did so, HOWEVER, She kept rescheduling me. I waited 3 and a half months to finally have the surgery. I was overdosed on estrogen and later found out I expired during surgery and one of the 3 surgeries was never done because of compilations.
I was.swnt home and 2 days later, I knew something was wrong. I called Bodins office 3-4 times a week as I kept getting more ill.Never once, did I get a returned call.
This was May25th 2018 and today I am still on my way to healing.
30 days later, I ended up in the ER, expiring again, due to complications from the surgery.
BODIN was called multiple times by the Dr. who saved my life and he never received a call back the whole 10 days I was in the hospital.
Still, to this day, not a word or a care but she sure did charge me and my insurance. My life is worth more than money...at least to me.
If you read the reviews you will see they are focused on the office personnel. I also wrote a 1 star for that reason. I would encourage you to see Dr Bodon in spite of the office personnel.
