Dr Timothy Hinchey and his secretary are really nasty people who seem to really dislike the patients.
I first went to Dr Timothy Hinchey a year ago because I was suffering from extreme anxiety and depression because of the death of my sister. I was very happy with Dr Hinchey back then. In May I started feeling very tired and generally unwell and I have been suffering from a very sore knee. Not thinking this would end up so awful I went in and asked for a GP ordered blood test. Dr Hinchey told me to go to any hospital so I chose TUH Dublin because they had the earliest appointment. I was told it would take one to two weeks for the results to be sent to my Doctor. 3 weeks later I went in and was told they had not arrived. I don't know if anyone out there knows what its like to wait for test results but its very stressful! Another two weeks goes by . We are in early July now and I called the office and was told they did not arrive and I should call the hospital. I called and was told the results were sent to Dr Hinchey but they would send them again that day. I called the Doctors office again and was told the same thing they dont have the results and I should call the hospital. I called the hospital and was told that my Doctors office should call and make sure they have the right information for him as they couldn't take my word for it as I am not in his employ. I called the office several times to relay this message and was told I would get a call back which never happened. The last time I called I was crying and the secretary spoke to me very rudely. I finally went in and explained this to the Dr and was met with a rude and curt response saying he doesn't have time to call hopitals and basically made me feel like garbage! Knowing how I suffer from anxiety and depression I found this so surprising! I begged him to call the hospital and he flat refused and told me to do it! I can't update my Doctors information! How did he graduate from medical school? He finally said he would call later that day. That was a week ago. I have been so depressed because of this I have seriously thinking of joining my sister. I have no idea why Dr Hinchey or his secretary couldn't just make a quick phone call and why they are treating me so badly. These people obviously have no empathy or regard for their patients. Stay away from this place. It's a terrible place with people who don't care about you at all! I am looking into taking legal action for pain and suffering and medical negligence as I have been in an awful state because of this.
