Birmingham, Alabama's most negligent medical practitioners have set their sites on Hoover's Greystone community. Located at the top of Highway 280 near the famous golf and country club at the intersection with 119, the area contains highly affluent residential and commercial real estate. The average family income for a resident in this area was recently listed at $160,000 USD annually.
In a new video series I look at some of the bad doctors I had personal dealing with as a patient and customer over the years who have set up shop in this area. I tell of others experience and share some insight into my own dealings.
In late 2024 American Health Imaging, Inc. (“AHI”) and founder / CEO, Scott Arant, were announced to pay the United States federal government and the State of Georgia $5,250,000 to resolve allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by: (1) providing physicians with meals, tickets to sporting events, and other gifts to induce those physicians to refer diagnostic scans to AHI’s independent diagnostic testing facilities; and (2) entering into above fair market value personal services agreements with referring physicians to induce those physicians to refer scans to AHI.
I was a patient of American Health Imaging in 2019 where radiology Dr. Angus Baird MD failed to note a broken skull injury and head trauma I almost died from. Subsequently, I tried to contact Scott Arant of AHI, the doctor and Birmingham Radiological Group (50 MD's on payroll) CEO Doyle Stewart (listen to my recorded phone calls in other videos on my channel). NONE would help me correct this mistake, refund my $500, or get me any recourse or redress in my matter. I was physically disabled and being denied and dismissed repeatedly after paying money. I likewise filed a complaint with the Alabama medical board, this was thrown out and dismissed. I am convinced AHI and their partners (such as UAB St. Vincent's (Ascension) are thoroughly corrupt and instances such as this reveal only the tip of the iceberg of far deeper issues.
00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel My Medical Nightmare and see 40 plus
00:07hours video on everything that happened to me. All right, attention residents of Greystone.
00:13Some of Alabama's absolute worst medical practitioners have targeted your affluent
00:20neighborhood located in Hoover, Alabama near the intersection of Highway 119 and 280 around
00:29the Greystone Golf and Country Club. Negligent physicians and medical doctors have set their
00:37eyes upon the high incomes of families in your community. An example, average household income
00:46listed at $161,000 per year. These bad medical practices are attempting to use the prestige
00:55of the area to boost their own social status, as well as cover over deep corruption and what
01:05amounts to fraudulent practices in the medical industry. If you live in this area, please speak
01:11out, become active in your community, and keep these types of doctors from profiting and thriving
01:20on the work of people in your area at any cost. I'm going to do a new video series where we'll look
01:29at the providers that I had negative experience dealing with as a patient and customer who have
01:37set up shop in the Greystone area. And we'll start today with American Health Imaging. I'll read some
01:46recent reviews. This was posted in August. It reads, horrible services do not trust them. They set you
01:54up on a payment plan for services not finished. They give you a bill they voided. However, they only wind
02:02up voiding the amount paid at the time of services. Now, one month later, they are charging for a payment
02:11plan. You were advised that was being canceled due to the services being canceled on the same day. You
02:19call the local office. They redirect you to another office. And then that location states they cannot find
02:26anything about who you are or why you are calling. Nobody takes accountability. You ask for a manager and
02:34nobody is in to talk to you. You have to wait for a lousy callback that never happens. Just a waste of time
02:41and a horrible experience. You guys need to do better. Here's a review from 2024. It reads, contrary to other
02:49reviews, some of the rudest people I've interacted with, I paid for my chest x-ray with my card. The patient
02:57says they are seeing the transaction yet they get an email from provider weeks after the visit saying
03:04they're not seeing payment. The patient says, I was trying to explain my situation while the lady that
03:11answered the phone rudely interrupted me and said we need payment ASAP. Would not recommend this location
03:20even if it were my own family needing services done? Here's another review from 2024. It reads,
03:30stay away from this place. They jacked up my imaging report and they just put anything on there. I called
03:38them to let them know that Dr. Callahan stated that the information on the report was incorrect in regards
03:47to the findings. AHI got defensive. So the doctor called to get the report corrected. American Health Imaging
03:55was supposed to correct it. Then the patient says they got a new message that the report was ready and guess what?
04:01I studied the same errors as the first report. $150 spent for incorrect radiologist reading and I will stop at
04:10nothing until this is corrected. Beware of this place. I am a health care professional and I would
04:17never recommend this place to my patients. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and the
04:23American Board of Radiology because my primary cannot send my referral to the necessary specialist with
04:29this incorrect radiologist pronouncement. And they just basically tell my message. All right, so viewers to my channel
04:34will be well familiar with American Health Imaging. I tried to warn people about this company which
04:43has branched out and expanded across the Birmingham, Alabama area in recent years. I was a patient and
04:50customer of American Health Imaging in 2019. They are affiliated locally with UAB St. Vincent's,
04:58formerly Ascension, and they used doctors with Birmingham Radiological Group locally. My opinion,
05:06if you had any dealings with American Health Imaging, you need to go back and check your stuff.
05:11Double check it, triple check it. You can go look at my videos on my channel to get some ideas about
05:17some of the others involved in these scams. Do not trust American Health Imaging. Do not trust their
05:23partners. After discovering I was misdiagnosed by Dr. Angus Baird, M.D., I took this matter to
05:31the CEO of Birmingham Radiological Group, which oversees around 50 doctors. They would not put me in
05:38contact with this member doctor or help me in any way to resolve my own issues. I filed a complaint
05:45against Angus Baird stemming from my own case with Alabama Board of Medical Examiners and Licensure
05:53Commission. That complaint was thrown out and dismissed despite the fact that I sent in the
05:59original images, which clearly show the injury in my head, versus the written report of this doctor,
06:07which claims I have no injury. All right, so in this call, I attempt to contact radiologist
06:14Angus Baird, M.D. And this doctor, he read an MRI scan that I had done at American Health Imaging
06:25in Birmingham, Alabama, May 15, 2019. This cost $500 cash. So in this scan, I was told that no injuries
06:40appeared. However, if you look at the images, you'll see that I have signs of head trauma. And I believe
06:51that I broke a bone in the underside of my skull. That's a basilar area, occipital condyle, condular
06:57canal region. And you may be able to see infection in this area. And the pain in this area, this is the
07:09reason that I had this MRI scan done. It was missed by this radiologist. All right, so the phone number
07:16I found, it leads to Birmingham Radiological Group. And they tell me they can't connect me directly to
07:25the doctor, and I should call American Health Imaging, where I had the MRI scan done. So here I call
07:34American Health Imaging, Birmingham, Alabama. And although I had this scan done in 2019, this receptionist
07:46tells me that they don't deal with those doctors anymore. And yeah, I wonder why. I might actually
07:53know the reason. Tells me that I will have to go through another doctor, possibly have another MRI scan,
08:02and I paid $500 for this one already, in order for them to do some kind of procedure and have this
08:13scan looked at again. And yes, I do not believe the statement that I'm giving here is correct.
08:21I paid for this service, the MRI scan itself, and the radiologist report. Injuries show up
08:30in the pictures, the doctor did not acknowledge the injury. And then a bit of an argument ensues, and
08:41I was hung up on by this call agent from American Health Imaging. So prospective customers out there,
08:51clients and business partners, apparently they don't stand behind their work.
08:57Yeah, and I mean, you know, my experience doing with this, run around and excuses.
09:05You can see everything that happened to me regarding this issue. It's on my YouTube channel,
09:11My Medical Nightmare.
09:15Thanks for calling American Health Imaging. This is Jesse. How can I help you?
09:19Yes, ma'am. I was a patient at AHI 2019. I had an MRI scan done. I had an injury show up in an MRI,
09:28and I got a doctor's report saying no injury was present. I need to try to talk to somebody about
09:34having this MRI scan looked at again, please.
09:37So your doctor will have to request that. We can...
09:42Okay, I was told to call you guys to get in touch with the doctor, Dr. Angus Baird.
09:49He doesn't work here no more. That's an old radiologist. We don't use those radiologists anymore.
09:55So, again, like the doctor that referred you, or just a new doctor you're going to now,
10:03you could have them have a new MRI done, and they can do a, what is that, what is it called?
10:16Yeah, they can have an addendum done.
10:18Okay, well, I have a problem with an MRI that was taken, that I paid money to you guys for,
10:24that I got a report that said I had no injuries, and the injury shows up in this MRI.
10:29I need to try to get in touch with that doctor, please.
10:33Okay, so what I'm telling you is you can have your doctor that referred you to...
10:37I don't need a doctor. I'm calling you guys to get in touch with a doctor directly.
10:42If you would listen, I'm trying to tell you that...
10:45Well, you have to say something intelligible first, madam.
10:49I'm trying to explain to you how you can have this done.
10:53Okay, I was told to call you guys. I was told to call you guys, and you would get me in touch with a doctor.
11:00Thank you for calling American Health Imaging.
11:02To reach A-R-A-N-T-S-C-O-T-T press 1, the party you are trying to reach is busy and cannot take your call.
11:16Please leave a message after the tone.
11:19Hello, sir. I was a patient at American Health Imaging 2019, and I had an MRI scan done.
11:27This was looked at by Birmingham Radiological Group, Dr. Angus Bayer, MD.
11:33Oh, yeah, the facility was Birmingham, Alabama, American Health Imaging, downtown New York, UAB Hospital.
11:39So I was told in the report by this doctor that I had no injuries appear in my MRI.
11:46I knew this was not the case. I got a copy of my images, and I found out I was misdiagnosed.
11:53I had a serious head trauma and evidence of a broken skull in the area of the Bachelorette School region, occipital condyle, condylar canal.
12:03And I've had a lot of problems trying to contact American Health Imaging and the doctors associated to possibly have this issue addressed, acknowledged,
12:15possibly have the imagery re-read or some kind of redress in this situation.
12:22I was a self-paid patient, self-referred, $500 cash payment.
12:29And, yeah, I called American Health Imaging last week.
12:33I was hung up on in the Birmingham facility by a girl.
12:39Her name was Jessie.
12:41I tried to call AHI corporate last week.
12:45I reached a call center in India, and I was told that someone would call me back.
12:51They took down my number, and I've not been contacted on this issue.
12:55Mr. Arendt, I think you need to look into this, please.
