The Absentee Doctors of Baypointe

We needed to take my son to a specialist doctor recently so we called Baypointe. They helpfully found a specialist on their rolls and made an appointment for us. The secretary then called us 3 or 4 times to verify that that we would be there. That was annoying but we appreciated her diligence. When we showed up for our appointment, the doctor decided it wasn't worth his time to be there. The secretary told us we were the only patient so he decided not to come. Despite the repeated calls, we were never told in advance. My elderly father has had the same experience at Baypointe. The lazy, undisciplined Baypointe doctors show up when they feel like it and never go out of their way to show up for work if their waiting room is not full. When Baypointe medical center came to Subic, a lot of us had high hopes. Subic has not had a proper private hospital since the US military left and closed down the Cubi hospital. Baypointe was hyped as a modern, private hospital with links to facilities in Manila. But just like the string of hospitals that tried to take over Cubi, Baypointe has been a disappointment. It's not a hospital, it's a building that doctors sometimes visit.
