I have encountered doctors who expect a non-eventful office visit in order to get the orders for lab tests, then will only call you if they have a concern after tests are run. Then they expect you to schedule another office visit to discuss it.
It would be helpful if they accept Medicare and AARP United Healthcare Supplements. Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you.

I had the same issue with a doctor in Leesburg. I fired him...after I got a TVH doctor (Melidona?). This doctor worked with me so that he gives me the lab order in advance, then I come in for my physical after he gets the lab results. He also responds to email questions I have on my lab results. Very convenient and cost/time efficient. I don't know if this is a company policy, but this doctor did it for me. Of course, I had to request this process, but he was immediately agreeable with it. Too bad I lose him in December. I got the letter.
