1 /5 Michael: I went to Dr. Raxenberg for many years until I lost all faith in him and Medical Specialists of the Palm Beaches. I went to an appointment and obtained pre-clearance for an upcoming surgery. I was told that they would send the clearance form to the surgeon.
Days later, as Im on my way to the surgery I received a call from the surgeons office saying they never received the clearance form from Dr. Raxenberg and my surgery would be delayed.
I called Dr. Raxenbergs office and had an unreal, idiotic conversation during which one of his admin staff casually mentioned Im sorry, we seem to have lost the record of your recent clearance appointment; could you please come in for another exam?
What?! I said there was no way I could do that and still be in time for my surgery. Sadly, it didnt seem to bother the admin staff that the loss of my records meant I wouldnt be able to proceed with a surgery I had worked months to schedule. No apologies, no nothing. I asked the admin I was if she could please have Dr. Raxenberg call me. Nothing but crickets since then, except for phone calls from his staff saying Im overdue for my annual checkup. Not a chance!
Its been over two year. I never heard from Dr. Raxenberg or received an apology for Medical Specialists losing my medical records (a violation of HIPPA rules in itself).
I would advise anyone and everyone to avoid Dr. Raxenberg and Medical Specialists of the Palm Beaches.
