When they couldn't get my first and last names straight I should have known something was up.
During a routine physical my Family Doctor thought my EKG showed some damage to my heart so she recommended me to a Cardiologist for a stress test.
Ok, so it took over a month to get in to see Dr. Chambers at the Cardiology Institute of Michigan. The building was clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly. Dr. Chambers NEVER introduced himself to me. And of course they couldn't get my name right.
I scheduled a follow-up with my Family Doctor for two weeks later to get the test results. Upon arriving they realized that the results had never been sent so they called about them. First they were told they couldn't find them. Next they found them but they had not been read. And finally the Doctor had NEVER even looked at them. No preliminary glance, nothing!
