I am posting on behalf of someone who is afraid of retaliation from the office. I came in with a recommendation from a GI to get an ultrasound after I got a colonoscopy. When I went in to tell him this, he dismissed my concerns, saying that "this is just a woman's problem" which, by the way, I remind you that this was a gynecologist. When I asked for an ultrasound, he claimed that since he didn't see any reason to do it and so he wouldn't bill my insurance. This is despite the fact that I came in on a recommendation from another doctor. I insisted it be done, even without my insurance paying for it, because I have been having so much pain. After doing it, he DID actually find that there was an issue, and had no clue what to do. So not only is this doctor a jerk, he is also incompetent. He literally said "I don't know who I could recommend you to for this. I could recommend you to a gynecologist but that's me." So basically, he doesn't know how to do his job. Afterwards, I asked, so then can you bill my insurance now because clearly there was a reason to do it and there's something wrong with my body. He told me "No, I already sent the bill, I will not bill your insurance." Despite being wrong, he still wasn't willing to account for his mistakes and demanded I pay him out of pocket. So now I'm paying for this incompetent doctor out of pocket when really I shouldn't be. By the way, when I called initially, I asked to see a female gynecologist. The office couldn't even do that for me (do they even have a female gynecologist? and if they don't why didn't they tell me?), and now I'm frustrated that I saw Dr.Barnes who DISMISSED my concerns, was completely INCOMPETENT, and is OVERCHARGING me because he was too lazy to bill my insurance. DO NOT GO HERE.

Incompetence at its finest! Dr. Bolane's administrative staff is terrible. Gayle in the Macon…read moreoffice seems to be the biggest offender. Save yourself the headache and find a doctor's office that has an administrative staff that can do their jobs. A few examples: I canceled my appointment in December in advance and was still billed a no show fee ($35 dollars). It took me multiple calls and emails to Gayle to finally stop receiving notices. Note she NEVER followed up with me. I always had to call her after I kept receiving invoices last one was 4/2/2020. No call to confirm she had even dealt with the issues. Second -I got a notice from my insurance company that a test was run during my annual that wasn't covered by insurance (23 dollars). I called and Cigna said it wasn't part of the standard for annual visits. I was also told I wouldn't have to pay this. Now this isn't an issue as I didn't have to pay but again it would be nice if additional out of the scope test are going to be run that I am told in advance. I am happy to discuss with the doctor any care that I need not covered by insurance (I am not trying to die to save a few bucks) but I don't like surprises. Third, I spoke with Gayle and scheduled an appointment for Friday at 8:30. On my way TO the office on Friday around 8:22, I received a call saying that no doctors were scheduled for that time and no one would be able to see me. That the schedules are made two weeks in advance and no doctor was schedule and the appointment was made in error. I rescheduled. I went to the rescheduled appointment and was told they didn't perform the service on-site and that I didn't need to come into the office. That I just need a referral and to schedule another appointment with the other office. This should've been handled when I made the appointment and also flagged for the call on Friday when it was rescheduled. So at this point I will have three appointments for what should've been completed in one. Further while I was there Gayle sat at the front reception's phone with the sliding glass doors open and made the appointment. Which included her providing my name, date of birth, and my insurance card information. This was clearly heard by everyone in the waiting room. When I pointed this out to Gayle seemed to roll her eyes at me. All of this is simply to complete my annual exam requirements. This isn't complex medicine or an at-risk pregnancy. I can't imagine the nightmare these administrative/billing issues are with someone who is having a baby or has medical issues. Finally they don't seem to be practicing social distancing I didn't see any signs anywhere reminding people to stay 6 feet away. Three of the patients weren't wearing masks and someone brought in their 9-10-year-old child also not wearing a mask. There were no marks on the floor and no attempts by the reception to make sure we spaced out. Odd that they aren't addressing this during this pandemic.
