So it has now been exactly one week since I visited this place. I still do not have my results,…read morenobody has called me back and they refused to answer my calls. I called them last Thursday to get my results. I was put on hold for long periods of time. Mind you I was at work on my break. I got tired of holding and would hang up. When I called they said they were busy and had lots of patients. I spoke to the business office manager and she said she would get my chart. When she got back on the phone she told me what the chart said but that she didn't know what the results meant and the doctor or his nurse would call me back. Nobody did of course. So at this point I'm done playing phone tag with these people. I am filing a complaint with my insurance and the Alabama medical board. I noticed a lot of seniors go here and it makes me wonder if they treat them the way I was treated. When they come in with bladder infections do they just send them away and tell them to take over the counter pain meds? Do they even call them with the results of labs? Lastly I had to break down go to the ER for my UTI. Within an hour they diagnosed me with a UTI, prescribed me antibiotics, and I was on my way. I've been on my meds now for 3 days and I feel a lot better. Alabama has the WORST medical care. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.

They will make you wait forever, hold your test results hostage until you pay a fee to hear them even tho you have a right to them, and they will not listen to you or pay attention to you. The worst experiences I've ever had in a doctors office. They lied to me and made me think something was very wrong with my lab results, but the truth was they just wanted an extra fee for me to come in for them to tell me they don't want to deal with it and send me to a specialist. (When they told me they would do the same thing as the specialist when I first came to them). So I spent a ton of money for no reason because they weren't going to do anything with my results. Run far away!

They exercised minimal understanding in communication when relating to patient needs. Discriminated greatly against me as an older patient because of being from the north. They had great disregard for how I represented myself and how I spoke. Dana (Big Hips) in particular was a very cruel individual. She had the front desk at siege and under control regarding how they should address the public which in my experience was to shun off, to demeanor and to be discourteous when I had a question. I experienced a great lack of office understanding when it came to procedural patient health concerns that were so basic that you would expect the front office area to be able to reply. Dana came across very unschooled when it came to relating to patient needs. She is not fit to be working in the medical arena. There is a required decorum and skill necessary when dealing with the public and she certainly lacked it. She screamed and hollered like an uncontrollable crazy lady toward me two different times when I requested to know who I was speaking with when I had a question regarding Medicare - being that it was my first year. She favors trying to degrade and intimidate another when she thought they were inquiring to much information.

She responded, "you don't need to give me an attitude" and slammed down the phone.
