From the weigh in this clinic set me up as 'obese' by logging my weight as 231lbs (was 213) and skewing other numbers to entice me to enter 'programs.' Despite my request the nurse and Dr. Riffle refused to correct their mistake. Instead Dr. put me on statins (stopped taking them after reading A STATIN FREE LIFE) Dr. Riffle (and my wife's Dr.) also requested "medically unnecessary tests" as described by Medicare, which costs my wife and I $616.25. Repeated phone calls were met with, "yes, claims with new codes to medicare have been filed," yet no one at F would/could give us claim numbers.
I've run over 2 dozen marathons in the past 20 years, have never weighed 230lbs, and was diagnosed with hypertension 50 yrs ago. Dr. Riffle simply ignored my medical history stating at one point, "these things come and go," and set about what seemed a predetermined medical intervention for a problem that didn't exist.
Fraud, IMO, from the very beginning, took advantage of the elderly and now there seems to be no recourse.
