Patient
UPDATE: Doctor has attempted to rectify the issue in the 2nd visit 2/11/25 by re-inputing all referrals, sending direct message to referral office, explaining my test results and addressing all issues. Finally got my referrals 22 days later. Referral dept said they saw several duplicate requests in the system, it was a mess. On 2/16, I was told to check back in end of month for update on the procedure they were going to set me up for and needed to verify with insurance. It is now 3/10, I have called 3x, left 1 message, no response. ------------------ 1/31/25 I went for my yearly physical and metabolic blood panel. I was not instructed over the phone of the steps I needed to take prior to bloodwork, such as fasting and restrictions. I just had to schedule my 2nd visit to do the tests again, because results were impacted. Also, no follow-up call to explain the concerning notes on the results. I told the nurse assistant I wanted referrals to (3) doctors, gave her their information. Then I told the doctor of the 3 doctors I wanted referrals for, and gave her their information as well. Then, when the nurse assistant came back in, I verified with her at least 5 more times of the doctors I wanted referrals for (because she gave me a paper with only 1 referral request). She assured me that the other 2 were in the works. A week later, only 1 of those doctors I got a referral for - the other two were never put in. I spoke with the referral office, who got very unusually aggressive with me, raising her voice, cutting me off, and speaking over me as I am trying to understand what is going on. I asked to speak with somebody less combative, she didn't transfer me, and I was able to put in my request for the referrals again. All in all, almost 2 weeks - now 2 doctor visits, 7 people, 4 separate calls, and 1 detailed message (w no call backs) later, and they STILL haven't put my other 2 referrals in. Great doctor, unfortunately, but the admin in this system is HORRENDOUS.
