I scheduled an appointment roughly about a month ago but what I did not do was check the reviews. Due to recent illness and hospitalization I needed to cancel my appointment and did so via automated messages. On the night of the appointment I received a call saying I missed my appointment, I advised them that it had been cancelled days ago. At 8:30am this morning I received another call from them and a voicemail stating that I would be charged a $250 cancellation fee if I didn't reschedule. I called them back today around noon and advised them it was a mistake on their part and that I had canceled the appointment and would not be rescheduling. After numerous times being put on hold I was transferred to the manager named Matt without warning. I explained the same to Matt and that's when it went off the rails! Had I looked at the reviews as I do now,I see Matt's name reoccurring in previous reviews all of which were hostile encounters. When I told Matt I cancelled the appointment in advance and would not be paying a $250 fee he replied with "they didn't get the cancellation". To which I replied, "that is not my problem. I don't pay for that service, you do. If the service failed it lies solely on your company."
Matt on the other hand, FLIPPED out, yelling at me and speaking to me in a way I've never been spoken to before by ANYONE!! He continued to yell and talk over me and refused to listen to anything I said. As he continued he then accused ME of being the one who was being rude. I was calm, firm and to the point to which he continued to make threats, fail to answer questions and basically hold my financial issue with them hostage. He is LITERALLY a terrorist and has NO business working in or around healthcare. I CANNOT believe he has a job there after the reviews I've seen and my own personal experience. My advice is DO NOT BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH THIS LAB!! They are rude and they never disclosed the cancellation fee to me in advance or else I would've never scheduled the appointment with them. Clearly sales is all that matters to Matt as he continued to find a ways to get my business, even after making additional threats and telling me he could make this "go away" or "make it worse" on me. I also advised him that my insurance was getting ready to be cancelled, didn't matter, he still wanted my money.
After the fact, I tried to explain to him how rude it is for him to speak to me that way and that even if I had been cussing or belligerent that he could not respond in the same manner. Again, more yelling and more threats made by Matt. He was like a rabid animal latching onto to something and refusing to let go. I am LITERALLY blown away by this incident and the stress alone it has caused me. It sounds like this place needs to rid themselves of this toxic person and start over. He has terrorized enough people! Additionally when asking for Matt's boss he kept saying "I am the boss! I am the boss!" to which I stated "no Matt, everyone answers to someone" and he just kept saying he was the boss and never answered my question. It's ok Matt, WE THE PATIENTS will find out who your boss is and make sure he knows what a rude, inconsiderate, threat making tyrant you really are and demand you be fired!! read more
