A misunderstanding with the admitting nurse alerted Dr. George, and he took the nurse's erroneous…read morejudgment and put me on suicide watch. When I attempted to have the error corrected, Dr. George refused to see me personally to make his own, fully informed, decision on the issue, and instead opted to make me wait 12+ hours (who knows when "tomorrow" she would've gotten to me) for the psychiatrist to evaluate me. HOWEVER - The hospital staff did not consider me enough of a threat to myself or others to commit me or otherwise prevent me from leaving against medical advice, yet they wouldn't lift the suicide watch provision which prevented me from going outside to smoke. So - they basically forced me to abandon the treatment I needed for no good reason (because they DIDN'T really believe I was a threat to myself or others) in order to smoke. Dr. George was unwilling to attempt to correct a mistake. He passes problems on to other doctors instead of trying to handle them himself. PS -- DO NOT GO TO THIS HOSPITAL IF YOU ARE A SMOKER!!

I am really not one to leave a bad review in situations like this, and I really hesitated to do…read morethis one, but I am very disgusted with the staff member from this office, a lady who called me the other day to collect a whole $75 from 7 years ago, yes SEVEN years...telling me it had to be paid before she would schedule my biopsy that my general doctor referred me to this office for. I don't even recall an outstanding bill and I was more than obliging and understanding while talking to this lady, even tho she was very condescending to begin with. Since this bill was sent to collections 7 years ago, it's illegal to even collect since it was sold to the agency, and would have been written off a long time ago, so why not just exercise the right to refuse treatment to me or require me to pay up front or something? I am not sure what kind of Mickey Mouse billing practices are going on at this office. I was actually more than willing to pay it while on the line when she asked me to. I work for the insurance company, I have an FSA, I pay my bills....but this pushy lady just kept on with the smarta$$ remarks, I didn't appreciate it, and was certainly not comfortable leaving my medical issues in the hands of such a seemingly disgruntled, absolutely unprofessional person who is most likely, unfortunately the first person people encounter, and I finally told her that I will just find another doctor. I really hope these calls are recorded and that someone can address this unhappy dried up worker before she drives more people away. I have told my doctor but not much more I can do.
