[...], who scheduled my appointments, called the next day because she needed to change the dates. Then about 2 weeks later, I got a text informing me of my appointment the next day. However that was not the correct day. I called to talk to her to see if I was wrong about the date, but she didn't return my call. So, I went to the office the next day to speak to her in person. She said she forgot to change that date. AND, she never apologized for not returning my call.
