| - And I thought it was just me! Dr. Choy was abrupt, rude, insulting, called me "ma'am" in an impatient and condescending tone and repeatedly informed me that he did not have the ability to examine me within my limitations and could not be bothered to offer or explain any available alternatives. He said that I was either going to be examined the way he wanted or he would refuse to be my provider in the future. At one point in the exam, I was so stressed by his manner and method, that I was crying. His response to this was to rudely snap "Ma'am, would you like me to give you a minute?" I was also informed that because of my reluctance to proceed with certain parts of the exam, that I might be responsible for the bill as my insurance might not pay for an incomplete exam. This was an intimidation tactic, nothing more.
I provided my insurance information appx. a week before my visit yet at the end of the visit, the staff attempted to collect a payment. I had to inform them that I had met my annual out of pocket maximum and that even if I hadn't, they were attempting to overcharge me. My specialist co-pay is $40, I was asked to pay $60.
I refuse to see Dr. Choy again. He clearly does not have the skill to treat a patient with my needs and is also oddly worried about getting sued. This did nothing to increase my confidence. He gave contradictory instruction, frequently told me to stop speaking when trying to clarify his instruction and attempted to touch me without fully explaining what and how he was going to do so.
I was going to try a follow up appointment with Dr. Wellish but after reading these reviews, I will seek care elsewhere.
