Employee reviews submitted to the Indeed.com website corroborate disturbing observations on the corporate management of Experity and progenitor companies DocuTAP & Practice Velocity. A 2014 review of Practice Velocity describes the CEO/Owner as "Tyrannical". A 2019 review headlines "Terrible CEO & terrible management".
My Own Troubles (AS A PATIENT & CUSTOMER) With Experity: I was a misdiagnosed patient who had an x-ray misread by Dr. Ana Maria Echenique M.D., who worked for Experity. My injury was a broken basilar skull / head trauma. I called Experity in early April, 2022 to have it possibly reread. "Marjorie" (Experity) had me give her access to my old medical images from the urgent care clinic AFC (American Family Care), with the understanding by me that it was going to be reread for me. I gave permission to get the records. I was told I would be called repeatedly. My calls were never returned. When I called back a week later I was told Experity mangaement made a decision that reread request could not be honored. Possibly a HIPAA concern.
Following being told on April 5th that my misdiagnosed X-Ray records were going to be made available to Experity, HIPAA issues have now emerged as I am told Experity management have decided they will not honor my request to have the scan re-examined because I paid $175 in 2019, later learned I had a very serious broken skull head trauma / infection-based injury and I was told in the original scan (by doctors and nurses) that no injury appear. In the disputed X-Rays themselves, evidence of this injury can be seen. The understanding was the results of the 2022 reread were going to be shared with me. I did not give Experity permission to access my health records for any other reason.
I am then told management will call me back shortly after my 1pm CDT call was placed. This call never came, I was told many times dealing with Experity over the last week they would call me and even given a commitment as to the time / date and this was not fulfilled.
Here I give an introduction of my situation and excerpts from my 4/5/22 call with "Marjorie" (possibly Nurse Marjorie Freisthler APRN-CNP who is listed as working with Experity). She tells me the situation has changed due to "management stepping in". Now, she says, she will have to contact AFC (American Family Care / Urgent Care) where I had the scan done and arrange something that "will only take a second" before they can re-analyze the X-Ray. I am then transferred to "Prince" at AFC.
After being transferred to Prince the first time, Marjorie never returned to the line to arrange whatever they needed (records or approval) (it was not made clear). She says she will need to contact AFC again and speak with "The Provider".
00:00You can see roughly 60 hours of documentation on what happened to me, including all the MRI, all the CT, all the x-rays, the uploaded written doctor's reports, I have recorded telephone calls, YouTube channel, my medical nightmare.
00:21All right, update on the extremely shady business practices of the medical services provider, Xperity.
00:31According to their press release, Xperity was formed through the culmination of Practice Velocity and DocuTap.
00:39It provides technology solutions to more than 5,700 urgent care practices across the United States.
00:46And what's interesting is that figure has been changed in their newer press releases after 2022.
00:56They now don't name the number of practices that they're involved with, but simply state over 50% of the U.S. urgent care market runs on Xperity solutions.
01:08So they do EMR and practice management, SAAS solutions, patient engagement technology, e-registration, overread services, employee portal for occupational medicine, referral management, revenue cycle management services, and analytics.
01:28Owned by GTCR since 2022, March.
01:32I found out about Xperity when I had an x-ray done at an American Family Care AFC Urgent Care Clinic in Birmingham, Alabama in 2019.
01:46That's Anna Maria Agni, M-D-D-A-B-R.
01:50She wrote, no injuries appeared in the images.
01:53I got the images, and I'll put them in this video again, and you can see that I have a translucent anomaly beneath my skull in the area of the first, second vertebrae, about three or four inches in diameter here.
02:08I later found out I had broken the underside of my skull, and I almost died from this injury.
02:14Again, I was told no injury appeared.
02:16I called the number that appeared below this doctor's name in the urgent care medical records I obtained, and it led to this company, Xperity.
02:27I had a lot of problems dealing with Xperity.
02:31They are not responsible or accountable professionally, or they're not professional either.
02:37That's my experience.
02:39Their employees engage in social engineering tactics, as was in my case.
02:44They have a public relations department that regularly tries to float Xperity employees in various awards to boost their profile and give them social status and social proofing.
03:00Yeah, the profile of this company, extremely suspicious.
03:04You'll see here they advertise, meet us in Vegas, as in the gambling capital of the United States, Las Vegas, Nevada.
03:13All right, let's meet at the UCA Annual Convention, April 30 through May 4th at Caesars Palace, booth 301.
03:21Place your bets on Xperity.
03:23So here they associate themselves with luck or being winners at games of chance.
03:29Not something that you can afford if you're a patient looking for health care.
03:34You don't want these type of games being played with your well-being.
03:37All right, so if you're out there and you're thinking about health care treatment, doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the Birmingham area,
03:47I will suggest you visit the website Indeed.com.
03:52There you will find many reviews of employees of businesses and companies.
04:00Just type in the hospital or medical network that you frequent, and you may be surprised at what you see.
04:09So if you're out there and you had issues dealing with this CEO or the management of Xperity, and you found this video, don't give up.
04:21You're on the right track.
04:22Many other people out there have shared your experience.
04:26All right, we've got some reviews here that corroborate dealing with the character of Xperity's CEO, Dr. David Stern.
04:36The first one is submitted by a formerly employed program manager at Xperity's corporate headquarters in McChesney Park, Illinois.
04:47The headline reads,
04:49Tyrannical CEO Owner.
04:51This is all that I will relate here.
04:54DocuTap and Practice Velocity merged in 2019 to form Xperity.
05:01You can read the details on the Indeed.com profile for Practice Velocity.
05:07Here's another from 2019 posted by a formerly employed medical billing specialist, again, at the Xperity McChesney Park, Illinois headquarters.
05:19The headline reads,
05:20Terrible CEO and Terrible Management.
05:22They write,
05:23Teams and managers have a severe lack of communication.
05:28The workload that is expected is unattainable in an eight-hour workday.
05:33The company bases quotas off of one to two teams that have managers helping them do their work.
05:40The CEO was never around, and when he was, he rarely bragged about how rich he was in company-wide meetings.
05:48All right, so in my own case, April 2024, and my own issues were never resolved, I contacted the CEO of Xperity.
06:00You can go hear those phone calls at the video channel.
06:03Dr. David Stern, MD, the AFC, American Family Care Urgent Care Clinic, where I had the x-ray done.
06:11I tried to contact them with getting xperity to make their errors right, and they reneged on that.
06:21They would not correct these issues.
06:23But interestingly, they know what happened to me, and I believe they still have a partnership with Xperity.
06:30So if you go to AFC Urgent Care and had a feeling you got a wrong diagnosis, you might want to go back and look at your records also.
06:41I took my issues to the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and filed complaints regarding these issues.
06:49They would not help me get this matter corrected.
06:53My complaints were thrown out.
06:54They're lazy.
06:55I found out a state of Alabama licensed medical doctor, Christopher Blake Thomas, MD, who is supposed to be supervising this x-ray in my examination by Nurse Kimberly Kelly.
07:10This doctor was answering the telephone at an AFC, American Family Care Urgent Care, using a false name, claiming he was an office manager,
07:21and not revealing the fact that he was, in fact, a doctor.
07:25If you're out there and you're looking into problems involving xperity, please investigate further.
07:34They've apparently gotten away with many, many offenses and transgressions against multiple parties, clients, associates, etc.
