i have been going to this doctor for 10 yrs and i'm over it. every six months or so i go in and its always a new doctor no notification on when your doctor is change. call to speak my doctor is always a hassle everything is you need an appointment just to get a prescription resent they dont make it priority so that is your primary isnt there to have it handled you have to make a fuss to get things done and it ridiculous years ago i had no issues now im just ready to find a new provider.
Very disappointed in the care I have received here from both doctors and the desk staff. My first doctor sent me to get an MRI for my shoulder. I called repeatedly to hear about the results and never got a call back, and then I took it upon myself to get the results. The radiology department re-sent them to the doctor, assuming that maybe she didn't get the results the first time they were sent to her. Literally two months after the MRI, I got a note in the mail from my doctor attached to the MRI results, saying in her handwriting "I just got this." No explanation about the results, which showed some stuff that was not easy to understand.
So I changed doctors, and made the mistake of staying with the health center. Recently, I damaged my knee dancing, and after the x-ray came back negative, my doctor suggested the possibility of gout. Since when does dancing cause gout? Not to mention that another doctor took one look at me and said you are way too healthy to ever be considered a candidate for gout. After I was sent to physical therapy per insurance, the PT called my doctor and said there's no way this girl can do physical therapy, she needs an MRI and a referral to an orthopedic specialist. For a week now I've been calling to see where I am in the queue for the MRI. I've been told that the order was submitted and that when insurance approves it (2-3 days), then it will be sent to radiology. I've been told that the order was submitted and then the radiology department is what waits on insurance. Yesterday I spoke with the doctor himself, and when I asked him what I could do if anything to facilitate the MRI, he said "let me see", and then he said "oh I have some papers to sign." Today when I called to see where we were at, I got yet another story: The order was submitted today, (not a week ago?) and it will take up to five days ( not the 2-3 everyone else said?) for insurance to approve it. I asked to speak with a supervisor, stating that I felt like I was getting the runaround, and my request was dismissed. I still haven't received a referral for an orthopedic doctor, which was supposedly submitted a week ago also. I've only had the good fortune of seeing a specialist because I have a friend who was able to get me an appointment without a referral.
More of a business practice than a doctors. Will not fill prescriptions unless you see them once a month, and those visits cost a lot out of pocket, or from your insurance company. Try to leave for another doctor? They will not release your records and will take as long as possible till you give up and stay with them. Money first, maximizing their dollar second, patients last.
To continue the saga of disappointment, the doctor at Middletown community health center did some tests and said well it's definitely not your meniscus. The very first spot the orthopedic specialist palpated made me nearly jump off the table. He stated " that's your meniscus."
Dr Huddleston has been my Dr. For years and I have never had any problems at all. My referrals are always on time and then we always have a good follow up.Any testing I have done is always followed up within a week. Im not sure where all these negative reviews are from but I have never had any experiance close to what I have read about hear. So give CHC a chance and see for yourself. Mark Baran.
I been a patient for years I really wish they can be more of a clinic feel instead of a business setting seems a bit cold and I wish they had a childrens dept also a lab for quick results its not fair to wait 3 days for a STD result or a pregnancy result. Otherwise than that is great but not the greatest.
