It's not uncommon for him to ask YOU the patient what tests you want run. He not only did this with me, but my husband. Maybe that's his way of making the patient feel part of the process, however I need a doctor that is more confident in what they are doing. As well to ignore advice/opinions from peers. Honestly would not recommend him to anyone.

I then asked if she took Tricare and she immediately became defensive and said is it Tricare Prime, Tricare for life.. I unfortunately don't know as we just signed up for it & I asked if they were able to check by the main subscribers social.. she said with their new system they aren't able to. Doesn't make much sense if you have to submit a claim after a patient is seen as well as verify if the patient is active prior to their first visit. The receptionist in any office is the first stop to patient care. If you are unwilling to help a potential new patient with a few insurance questions, you shouldn't be in that field. Patients should know their coverage correct, but to flat out not be willing to help isn't very beneficial to the practice or the potential patient. I also don't want to go to an office if the first thing stated is "it depends on your insurance." What if I was a cash paying patient? Might as well choose to be out of network with every insurance so you can charge whatever fee you'd like per visit. This office came highly recommend but because of the one receptionist, I will be looking elsewhere. Must be hard to find friendly and warm employees in this sleepy little town.

Office Staff won't work with me. I really needed to see the doctor. We seemed to have a…read moremiscommunication about appointment time. They called me the day before and I swore they told me 8:20. My wife had it written down as 9:20. I called them at 8 am the day of to confirm. She told me that it was at 8 since I was considered a new patient. I said I could make it in 15 minutes and she said no and made me reschedule for a month later. They made me wait three months to schedule this appointment. Apparently it is Adventist Health policy to 'scan the documents' I fill out before seeing the doctor so it was just impossible to let me come 15 minutes late. Unbelievable. It's like working with a person with the empathy of Lord Voldemort. You could be dying on the floor and they wouldn't let you see the doctor until they scan the docs. I should note that I have already been a patient here and doctor Horowitz is good. The office staff is a nightmare. They switched to Adventist Health from Sierra Family Care hence the whole "new patient' debacle.
