I am shocked and deeply disappointed by the disrespectful attitude displayed by this doctor. After I told him I would record this call, he hung up on my face. I called the office to inquire about a charge of $100 (after insurance) for a call that lasted less than a minute. The call in question was brief where the dr. said my lab results were "fine." I proceeded to ask him what he tested for exactly, as I wanted to relay this information to other doctors I had planned to see, and all he said was "everything, and everything is fine" without providing further details. Consequently, I was charged $100 for an unsatisfactory response. The doctor then called me after an email I sent questioning this insane charge, and he then proceeded to reprimand me like a child, starting off by saying "Let me tell you what I tell all the 3 patients I have a year that complain about this. The doctor went on to threaten me by stating he would chase me for every dollar I owed and send me to collections. I find it appalling that a dr. would resort to such unprofessional behavior, especially when failing to address my inquiries or take the time to explain the tests performed. I asked him to drop the attitude, as I do not respond to arrogant and rude individuals, regardless of their professional standing. It is the responsibility of any professional to explain matters to their clients/patients when questions arise, rather than dismissively stating, "we tested everything." If the doctor intended to charge me for a call lasting "up to 40 minutes," it would have been appropriate to answer my questions and utilize the allotted time to thoroughly discuss the tests conducted. I have yet to receive my test results, which only adds to my dissatisfaction. To be clear, I have consistently and promptly paid all of my medical bills throughout the year, including visits to urgent care, a gastroenterologist, and a gynecologist for annual check-ups and to address ongoing stomach pain. I never questioned the validity of any of those bills, no matter how high they were, as they were all justified, but the few times that I did call just to clarify what the line items in the bills meant, I was given a direct response and a caring explanation. NONE of these doctors have ever charged me for a call that lasted less than 30 seconds to tell me that my test results came out good. I would understand if they charged me that much "for their expertisie" if the "expertise" in question were actually offered, especially upon request. My intention in contacting the doctor was not to avoid payment; rather, it was to question the exorbitant charge for a conversation that offered no substance beyond a simple assertion of "everything is fine." As a patient, I firmly believe that it is my right to question such an outrageous charges because I have a right to defend myself in a situation I deem unjustified -- as does ANY patient out there. Dr's have NO right tot take advantage of us under no circumstances. Never before have I encountered a doctor who not only spoke to me in such a unprofessional manner but also threatened me and attempted to extract every penny I had despite his failure to adequately address my concerns during the phone call. Seriously, The deficiency in communication lies solely with the doctor, not with me. Consequently, I do not believe I owe anything for that particular phone call, as it was entirely unproductive. However, I am more than willing to provide payment and not just because he threatened me, but because he clearly needs it more than I do. I dont need to put myself through a battle like this with a money hungry arrogant man. In my own profession, if my clients express dissatisfaction or question my work or billing, I'd never dismiss their concerns in this manner. Furthermore, I would never charge my clients $100 for even a 5-minute phone call without their prior knowledge, particularly if the conversation merely consisted of a brief exchange of pleasantries and no professional expertise was given.
