I saw an add on BP.
As the provider (name unknown) was close by, I decided to set up an appointment. Now it is important to note that she prefers that appointments be made via text messages. So, I contact her via text to set up an appointment last Friday afternoon. She notes that she was not going to be available, so I told her that I would get back with her the this week.
So, as earlier promised, I texted a request on Tuesday for later in the day. Time and locations was provided but shortly before I was enroute, the following message came through on my phone:
"Don't worry about coming. I decided I didn't like how your personality is...".
My texts were short and to the point. I can't imagine how my personality could be read from my very succinct: "Can I get an appointment for..", "..Please text me your address" messages. As a 64 year old, texting is not my go-to mode of communication, but that was her preference. I never have had an issue when I speak to a provider on the phone. So I have to ask the more "text savvy" among us, if there is something about the unembellished texting that I used that is off-putting to providers?
