- Reports of impersonal or flippant bedside manner from some individual providers
- General frustration with administrative communication delays
"The care was okay (4 stitches,) but their billing department is atrocious. I made a payment through my HSA which was never recorded... I gave up trying to resolve this matter due to the extremely unhelpful nature of their payment processor."
— Healthgrades user review"When I went for my post surgery exam after looking at my leg alignment he stated 'your right leg is now longer than your left, but you'll get used to it'. I've spoken to other surgeons and they were appalled at this type of flippant response."
— Healthgrades user review (Dr. Robert Shannon Jr.)"Our teams are currently experiencing extremely high call volumes and are working hard to return every call. If you have not received a call back within two business days, please call us again."
