I've called Premiere Medical Associates asking about refunding the charges, but they insist they were for services rendered. The two 2 minute appointments (which gained me nothing) were an expensive learning experience! I should have had some warning when they required me to make a second appointment just to go over lab work (with all labs in the "normal" range). I've never had a doctor require me to make an appointment to go over normal results. They are in it for the money.

You state that he went over your lab work. Although you may not consider that worthy of a fee, it certainly qualifies. Unless he advertised that there were free consultations he deserves to be paid for the consult no matter how brief.
