These doctors suddenly think that they are Lawyers, even tho they accept your insurance, they are…read moregoing to "decide if they will take your case". Give me a break!
I called this office to get Autoimmune Disease testing, I already have one, but my hearing capacity is getting worse, and I have 15 new symptoms, almost ending up in the hospital. Call them, says "accepting new patients". I have to give all of my own personal info. about what is wrong with me to the secretary who answers the phone. What? Isn't this against HIPAA? So right away, she is humming and hawing, "oh we're so busy, he may not see you for 2 or 3 months". Great. I'm sick NOW, but thanks for absolutely not being concerned.
Give her all of my symptoms, not super comfortable having to do that, now he's going to decide to "take my case or not". I ask for her to call me back, she assures me that they will, quadruple check, Yes we will let you know for sure. Well you guessed it, never heard from them. Very RUDE and inconsiderate.
I call, leave a message, is he "taking my case" or not? Half a day goes by, a lady, sounded like a different lady, calls and leaves me a VM. She says that he's really busy and that he "can't afford" to accept more Medicare patients at this time, that Medicare doesn't pay him enough money, and I could call back in 4-6 months to see if he is accepting Medicare.
What? I found this guy on the Medicare site! What a total jerk. Oh, and he's 72 himself, what insurance coverage do you think he is using??? Probably Medicare.
So thanks useless Dr. Morton, who advertises "accepting new patients" and that you take full payment for Medicare. Because you want to buy a nicer car, or play more rounds of golf, or buy expensive new shoes, patients like me get to suffer, lose something like our hearing, live in pain, be in a fog all of the time, more pain, not be able to walk, drive or eat. But that's OK, because you and your god-like power get to decide whether to "take my case".
Why did you even become a doctor? The medical community in this area is horrible, most of Michigan is horrible. Dr. Morton is horrible. Hope he has to go see a dr. for something serious and they refuse to "take his case" when he really needs it.
