โจ๐ฑ Messaging Etiquette ๐ฑโจ
I personally manage this page.
While it is open for everyone to keep updated with my schedule, receive tips in pediatric care, contact me for certain concerns, and inquire about the services I offer, the messaging privilege may be revoked at any time.
๐๐ฝ Kindly observe the following to avoid being muted or ignored.
1. ๐๐ผ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น!
If the concern is an emergency, proceed to the ER.
2. ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ.
I am not online 24/7. Please do not send multiple messages just so that you can receive a reply faster - because it does not work that way.
3. ๐๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ฒ.
Empty messages like a โHi draโ or โDocโ will not receive a reply. Be direct with your inquiry.
4. ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ.
Practice the art of reading. This includes the following - clinic schedule, location, my specialty, referrals to other specialties, and HMO affiliations per clinic location. All the information listed is posted already in the page. You will be redirected to the pinned post, or ignored completely.
5. ๐๐ฐ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ ๐บ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ.
Ultimate pet peeve. I take time to answer your inquiries. A simple acknowledgment would be appreciated. Ghosting me once you receive the response you needed from me is very disrespectful.
6. ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐น๐ฒ? ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ.
You made an appointment and will not show up? Big no-no! Be decent enough to inform me if something comes up.
๐ต Despite my busy schedule, I make it to a point to respond to your inquiries and accommodate certain requests. The moment you chose to be ignorant, disrespectful, or not follow the boundaries set, your messaging privilege will be null and void (ie. Muted).
Disclaimer: This is not the same as blocking or banning you from physical consult. You may still visit me for any health concerns. You just lose the messaging privilege that was previously given to you.
