Uncaring, unprofessional, this practice has some trust issues and treat their patients poorly.
You're fired, Dr. Moosa. When the honeymoon is over, you will realize they don't care, including Dr. Moosa.
So I wrote a letter directly to Dr. Moosa regarding the poor taste and behavior that his staff exhibited. I was called by Ann today, who is in charge of billing.
She stated that Dr. Moosa decided to discharge me from the practice over a bill that had accumulated when my mother was sick and dying, after I had surgery that left me completely blind for two weeks, a month after my mother passed away, my 87-year-old father-in-law had to have open surgery and was traveling back-and-forth to Ohio to help with this care.
The bill was sent to collections at the drop of a hat, I always paid on time, and was callously told by the billing depart "that is your problem". Ann did not apologize, w/zero empathy.
I was told that I was discharged from the practice until I paid the debt collector; I just wanted to come to the office and pay the $78, as I had already been through enough without having to also deal with a debt collector.
Jen from billing then told me I could get a refill, but only if I paid the debt collector, which was unlawful coercion.
I sent Dr. Moosa a letter with everything in it, and apparently, nothing was so outrageous or shocking to him so as to change anything at the practice, but rather make the decision to discharge me as a patient instead. That told me everything I needed to know about his practice, him as a physician, and him as a person. Unprofessional, substandard care.
And then was the outright false statement Jen made to me, saying that the practice's contract with the debt collector did not allow them to take payment at the office.
When I called the debt collector, Susan explained that she has been working there for about 30 years, and knew for fact this was not the case, that the practice could accept payments.
To me, when anybody at a medical practice makes a false statement, I am done with them, because it is violative of the patient/client/doctor trust that should be present at any practice.
Dr. Moosa, you're fired.
There were so many times when I was being examined, that he asked "what I wanted to do", rather than explaining what the choices were medically, and acting in the patients best interest, as if he did not even know the difference. I'm really thinking twice now about some of the conversations which he had with
Hopefully, this review prevents anyone else having to go through the agony of dealing with these people that I have gone through. If you go there, on your first appointment you'll be treated pretty well and they'll be very friendly, but when the honeymoon is over, you'll be thinking the same things I am saying here. Good luck to you is all I can say. Lol
You're fired Dr. Moosa, both you and your office staff failed miserably, and reported this practice to the State Medical Board.
I see a lot of people who say this was my first appointment there and the staff are wonderful. Give it time. When the honeymoon is over, you will realize they don't care.
There is much better care to be had at Downriver endocrinology in Woodhaven, Michigan. My recommendation is that you go there instead. read more
