Had a stress test 2 weeks later and 6 phone calls later im still waiting on a call about the results. Not happy with the way I have been treated im looking for a new doctor that can actually give me those results. I think it is ridiculous to be waiting this long when someone life is on hold.

Punished and lectured for missing one appointment. Me, my wife and our 5 kids will go elsewhere. I won't tolerate being mistreated.
