I have chronic Lyme disease and was referred to SC Internal medicine, to see an internist, for general health (I have an extremely weakened immune system) and for organ function tests as my disease can become terminal. Everytime I went to see Dr. Robert's, who is not an internist by the way, he skipped through my appointments quickly and when I would go to check out, he had not ordered the organ function tests or anything else we spoke about. I last saw him July 10th, 2019, they worked me in bc I was too sick to make it to an appointment that I made in June to go over bloodwork that I was supposed to fast for but was NOT told and results from an abdominal ultrasound that showed my liver is TWICE the size it is supposed to be and that I have NAFLD non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I was never called or asked to come in to get these results. When I finally reached his assistant she said "Your liver is fatty. Lose weight." I am 40 lbs over my recommended weight. When I saw the doctor last he was supposed to refill my heart medicine and give me new orders for the blood test I am supposed to fast for. He did not do these things. On July 19th I received a call from their office and had a voicemail that I could pick up my bloodwork orders from the front desk and she would only call in a one month supply of my heart medicine. None of this was done. Now they are saying I haven't seen Dr. Robert's since January of this year (I have seen him 4 times) and since "I cancel more appointments than I come to" he WILL NOT CALL IN MY HEART MEDICINE UNTIL I SEE HIM!!! They say I didn't make 3 appointments that I paid a $45 co-pay for each time and this man is willing to allow me to go without heart medicine until I come in to see him for an appointment I apparantly made for August 2nd, 2019. I did not make an appointment and he is going to punish me by not prescribing me a medicine I need and have been taking 18 years. I actually give them 0 stars and does anyone know how I can get refunded for co-pays I made during appointments where apparantly I was invisible for the day because SC Internal Medicine says I wasn't there.
