I had an RX for an EMG for the cause of pain in my right thigh. I was here 18 months ago for carpal tunnel & had to wait MANY hours. I asked how I could reduce wait time and was told to make an 8 AM appointment, which I did. The sign-in sheet showed that SEVERAL people were given the 8 AM appointment. I did not leave the office until almost THREE hours had passed. Dr A barely examined me, leaving most of the "interviewing" to his PA. He "jokingly" asked if I over-ate at Thanksgiving! He never explained what the test would be like or what he would be testing. I was sent BACK to the waiting room for a long time again. Finally I was asked to go into the room for the EMG, where 2 technicians, speaking some in English and some in (Russian?) told me I was having the test done on both legs AND BOTH WRISTS! I said ABSOLUTELY NOT! He wanted to do a test that was NOT prescribed just to bill Medicare more! An office manager explained both legs need to be tested for comparison, which I agreed to. Dr A. only administered the needle part of the test. After, HE POKED ME IN THE STOMACH & said to lose weight. I was so outraged & embarrassed! I have NEVER been treated in such an unprofessional, disrespectful manner by a doctor!
