Providers who will not see you because you could not make the first appointment

Thank you Genesis. It was not me that called you any bad names. Though I was very guilty though of telling you "I'm tired from work, lets try tomorrow," then the next day came and tell you the same thing.

Thanks outdoorsman. I have learned from this experience.

Thanks Dallas, I do hope to keep having fun.
I also owe an apology to Candybridges. For not getting back with her.

wow sounds to me like you made bookings with ladies all over town an didnt keep any of them. wth?
This has been in a span of months. Not all at one time
I don't want anyone thinking that I have NEVER kept an appointment with a provider. I do have prefferred411 and have made six successful appointments.

Geddon, here is some unsolicited advice. Let it rest & allow the thread to get pushed down to page two obscurity. I think you are doing more harm to yourself in the providers' eyes than good. You made your point, then went overboard apologizing for what looks like every scheduling snafu that has happened. Completely unnecessary. I think you are trying to dig yourself out of a hole but it just ain't workin.
One thing that was pointed out to me recently by Gina at p411 is to make sure to have them email you saying "appointment is confirmed for date/time". There could have been a miscommunication somewhere. Your appointment wasn't confirmed. They got another appointment while waiting for your reply saying what time you could commit to.

Maybe they contacted other providers and found out you cancel when you have issues with your health, so they didn't want to take the chance of missing out on a date.

It's a tough situation to be in, but sometimes luck will be on your side.

Sorry to hear about your health and your experiences with providers. I'm sure it's many things combined.

Good luck in the future.

ahem ahem ahem.

A couple of things first.

1. No disease or illness was discussed and Ashley and I sympathize for how you feel, I don't want to see any of you all ever hurt or sick. But as I recall, your profile also says something along the lines of it not being severe... We were given the distinct impression that it would not have any impact on a session.

2. You and I emailed back and forth about me seeing you as soon as I got into town and I was game for it but upon arrival, you told me you were too tired from work. ok cool. no big deal, i didn't care and even let you reschedule for today, WITH BOTH ASHLEY AND I. When you cancelled on such short notice, you made it extremely difficult for us to fill that spot, and we did it not just for one of us, but for both. are we mad? no. will you get another opportunity? no. Im sorry that this played out the way that it did but you never even gave us a call. At this point neither of us will book another appt with you because we don't think you will keep it, for whatever reason that may be.

3. I have been coming here for over 2 years and have made a good reputation for myself and i honestly enjoy my louisiana clients much much much more than some of my dallas ones, and I will do anything to accommodate anyone, i promise. I am almost completely booked before i can even make it into town and
its usually with old friends, I hardly even get to meet new ones anymore, so i was accommodating you before some of them. I also have not been here in over 6 months and you took an opportunity for someone else to come visit, then did it again tonight... When providers travel we plan our days to the T. I know exactly how long it will take me to shower and be ready and then i fall into a schedule and before I know it the day is done. I don't think you realize how much of an inconvenience it has been in going back and forth with you so much only to cancel in the end. twice.

4. Quit being a baby. Neither of us got mad at you, or said anything resentful. the spots were filled, and honestly, $200 isn't going to kill our trip. lol We simply chose to turn the other cheek and go on about our business, and just not reply to you anymore, trying not to waste anymore of your time, or our time, and then I see this. really? i am so simple to book with, ask around. You get screened, we make an appt, you call when you get here, i give you my room number, we do the damn thing and then call it a night. there is no bullshit on my end and im sorry you feel like you got the short end of the stick. Operator error maybe? Originally Posted by AmberXoXo

Thanks for referring to your sessions as "doing the damn thing and calling it a night." You obviously love your job (sarcasm). Why don't you try being a little more patient and understanding to potential clients. You obviously are still wet behind the ear. You don't know what crohns disease is, and you don't know how bad you just made yourself look with the snobby response. The dude never even mentioned your name, you outted yourself. He was just asking for opinions and all. Get over yourself.

To the OP, make up your mind. Is it your fault? Is it theirs? Is it the crohns disease? Or are the ladies being unfair? I say it's all of the above. And thats why, if a lady knows you have an ailment, she should be understanding enough towards you to explain nicely, that she's very sorry, but she can't see you because shes been booked. There was no reason for them to be so cold and rude to you on the phone. Cold, cut and dry.
Sounds to me like the whole story didn't come out in the OP to begin with. Only after AmberXoXo stepped in to say her piece was there any indication that you thought an apology was warranted. IMO, that's a little dirty. Apologizing after everyone finally knows the whole story? Um hmm.

Thank you for the apology Geddeon.

I will accept it even though you did call me quite a few names during our text conversation....

Water under the bridge and the best of luck to you!
