My husband's doctor, who is with this practice, seems to be good although very traditional. The problem is the office system. You cannot reach a doctor who will help you after hours, even with a prescription for pain in the case of a repeating kidney stone that usually passes. Doctor on call was very abrupt and said to go to the emergency room--during COVID.
Recently, we started receiving bills from 5 years ago. We have always paid any bill we received, and the office staff admitted that they had had trouble with this billing provider. The doctor, after 8 phone calls from me with staff, finally "forgave" that old amount "reluctantly." I questioned the word "reluctantly" when we had not been billed for these services (due to another error in billing). That's when the billing representative hung up on me. Sigh. I know we need to be respectful in these crazy staffing times, but clients/patients deserve respect as well.
