I
am
very
disheartened
by
my
experience.
I
made
an
appointment
to
see
a
doctor
here
in
early
December,
but
about
two
days
before
my
appointment,
I
tested
positive
for
COVID.
Naturally,
as
soon
as
I
got
the
positive
result,
I
called
Maiden
Lane
Medical
to
cancel
my
appointment.
They
said
yes
all
set
you
are
canceled
and
we
hope
you
feel
better.
Great!
I
thought.
About
a
week
later
I
received
a
$75
no
show
bill.
I
was
confused
to
say
the
least
because
not
only
did
I
cancel
more
than
24
hours
before
my
appointment,
but
it
was
because
I
got
COVID
and
did
not
want
to
expose
anyone.
I
called
the
billing
office
and
they
told
me
to
send
an
email
detailing
what
happened,
and
to
include
the
phone
number
that
I
called
with
so
that
they
can
verify
the
date
that
I
called.
I
said
āperfect!
Iāll
do
that
right
awayā.
Which
I
did.
I
was
assured
that
they
have
a
100%
response
time
within
48
hours.
Well
three
days
after
I
sent
the
email
I
still
got
no
response.
So
I
sent
a
follow
up
email
and
called
billing
back.
Billing
told
me
that
they
have
to
wait
to
hear
back
from
the
office
before
they
can
respond
to
me.
So
I
called
the
office.
They
were
so
rude
on
the
phone
and
I
donāt
understand
why.
I
was
interrupted
several
times
and
told
that
āthey
always
respond
within
48
hoursā,
when
I
explained
that
I
had
emailed
over
72
hours
ago
and
still
had
not
heard
so
thatās
why
I
was
calling
back
to
check
in
(in
case
someone
forgot
or
something)
I
was
interrupted
again
and
told
that
āwhen
we
have
an
update
we
will
let
you
knowā.
When
I
asked
if
it
is
common
practice
to
charge
people
a
no
show
fee
who
not
only
call
to
cancel
ahead
of
time
(therefore
itās
not
a
no
show),
but
also
who
are
literally
forced
to
cancel
and
isolate
due
to
COVID,
I
was
told
no
usually
they
donāt
charge
for
that.
So
greater
becomes
my
confusion
because
I
clearly
explained
my
reason
for
canceling
when
I
called
in
early
December
and
yet
I
was
still
charged
and
now
I
canāt
get
a
response
within
the
allotted
time.
It
seems
such
a
simple
issue
and
it
made
me
feel
upset
that
I
was
treated
with
such
hostility
and
disdain
by
those
I
spoke
with
on
the
phone.
I
literally
cannot
count
the
number
of
times
I
was
interrupted
and
talked
down
to.
I
feel
that
my
concern
is
100%
legitimate
and
that
I
did
everything
I
was
supposed
to
do
in
terms
of
canceling
and
they
shouldnāt
be
mean
to
me
for
trying
to
rectify
the
incorrect
bill
that
I
received.
Definitely
makes
me
sad
that
this
is
how
they
treat
patients,
especially
over
such
a
small
and
simple
issue.
I
know
everyone
is
stressed
nowadays
but
there
is
no
reason
to
be
so
awful
to
others.
I
am
sure
the
care
at
Maiden
Lane
Medical
is
great
but
the
customer
service
is
rude,
misleading
and
disrespectful.
I
think
it
is
completely
ridiculous
that
I
was
charged
in
the
first
place,
but
given
the
erroneous
nature
of
the
charge,
I
donāt
think
that
I
deserve
to
be
treated
with
such
contempt
just
for
trying
to
fix
their
mistake.
And
please
donāt
tell
patients
that
there
is
a
100%
response
rate
within
48
hours
because
itās
not
the
case.
Honesty
and
kindness
go
a
long
way.
