Yes I have. Primary wanted me to have a sleep study. Visited this dr. His staff is less than professional. He immediately wanted a Pulmonary Function test. Now keep in mind I have never smoked and have no breathing issues. I have 36 years in health care as a critical care certified RN. For me I see this as an unneeded test, but I agreed. I believe it's a money making test for him. Costly for Medicare and me. The day of this test I arrive and the person at the desk shrugged her shoulders and said we called you a while ago. Our computers crashed this morning and your test is cancelled. I asked why she did not call earlier considering I live south of 466A and the Dr office is near the hospital. Another shrug of the shoulder with her saying "I called." I cancelled all further appointments.
