Things are great! Why do you ask? (not my post, sent to me by someone that I trust, implicitly, though from a local mom group) #COVID

Facebook post from Montgomery County, MD Facebook Group:

Potomac Pediatrics just charged us a $100 same day cancellation fee. I had to cancel because I was very sick and tested positive for COVID the same day.

Nevertheless, they will not waive the fee. They advised we are no longer in a pandemic. So I should have come to the office despite having a 103 fever.

So, l'd like to explore new pediatricians. The fee isn't the only reason, but it's the impetus I needed to make a change.

Where are people happy these days? I'd like to stay near the Kentlands...thanks!

And we wonder why 30-40% don’t have a regular primary care doctor…

They are notorious for slapping patients with this fee but this is next-level
