Disturbing news to report from a 9/26/23 phone call to Grandview Neurology (Recorded Phone Call) (Affinity Physician Services) (located off highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama) I attempt to reach out to a medical practice and doctors who failed to provide adequate services to me as a patient in a 2019 visit. I am still receiving bills from this 4 years following the actual appointment with neurologist Kyle Hudgens MD. I am connected to a receptionist who identifies by the name "Ronnie", she proceeds to ask my DOB to access my personal health info (medical chart). I request her last name, to which she refuses (she offers to give "her initials"), then I tell her unless I am given a first and last name of the staff, I cannot continue speaking to her about my personal health information. I am denied again and then hung up on. I was not offered to be transfered to any representative who would tell me who I am talking to, this is unacceptable for a legitimate business making this much money (SCAM ALERT). Doctors Natalya Belotserkovskaya, M.D., James Strong, M.D. & Stephen P. Suggs, M.D., FAHA, FAAN are also employed here.

Grandview Medical Center is one of the largest hospitals in Alabama (434 beds). The office I called employees specialist MDs who make around $140 per hour ($260,000 annual salary (ONE OF THE HIGHEST PAID PROFESSIONS IN THE USA, 2023)) after obtaining a bachelor's degree from a medical university (4 years PLUS 3 to 7 years in internship and residency programs), anonymous staff representing such medical doctors is not professional in my opinion. Prospective medical patients considering this hospital & MD's take note of my experience.

I also stated in a voicemail message on 9/25/23, my Intent to Inform CEO Daniel McKinney of the outstanding issues. Attempts bring negligence issues to the responsible parties have not been successful over 4 years, my calls to Grandview are never returned.

Re: A bill I received in August, 2023 from ARC Management Group based out of Kennesaw, GA for a Grandview Neurology / Kyle Hudgens MD medical visit I wasted my time & money getting involved with in 2019. 4 years later, I have tried to contact them about my visit several times and calls are never returned. I am still waiting on proper service for my injury which I DID NOT receive in that visit. Hudgens should have been a MD of adequate skill to assess my condition but simply stated he could not explain my pain. He foolishly recommended I do range of motion exercises (I may have fractured the foramen magnum of my skull - SEE IMAGES). This MD also withheld medical records in a formal request (HIPAA) - I REQUESTED EVERYTHING - BUT what is listed as "Form 6/12" was not given to me.

Transcript
00:00All right, as always, you can go to YouTube channel, My Medical Nightmare, and see 40
00:06plus hours video on everything that happened to me.
00:09What you're about to hear, this is a September 26, 2023 call to the medical offices of Grand
00:19View Neurology, and they're up there in the ivory tower off Highway 280, Birmingham, Alabama.
00:27I'm trying to get a service and billing issue corrected.
00:33The short of it is, I had broken the underside of my skull, had a hole in my skull, CSF
00:40fluid
00:41in my skull, leaked out of this, the area became infected, parasites, worms, and insects grew
00:49in the wound up to three inches in length, visible in these MRI and CT pictures.
00:54This was in 2019.
00:57Got a referral to this specialist neurologist.
01:00I visited him with CT, X-rays, and MRIs that showed this injury.
01:09These are printed out on paper and on a CD.
01:12So I'm sitting there in front of this guy, and we're looking at the same pictures.
01:17He tells me that no injury is present in those scans.
01:24$265 visit.
01:26They wanted cash.
01:27I paid what I could.
01:29Four years later, I'm still getting bills for the remainder of what I owe from this visit.
01:36He did absolutely nothing for me.
01:39The medical professionals that work in this office, to do this job today in the United
01:47States of America, 2023, you need around four years to get a bachelor's degree from a medical
01:54school, highly competitive to be accepted to such schools, and three to seven years in
02:01an internship and residency program.
02:04At last check, a neurologist, medical doctor in Birmingham, Alabama, makes around $142 an
02:14hour.
02:15That's $263,000 a year salary.
02:21This is one of the highest paid professions in the United States of America.
02:27A woman answers.
02:29She gives me a name, Ronnie.
02:31That's a man's name, by the way.
02:33And then proceeds to ask me my date of birth so she can access my medical records and chart.
02:43I ask for her last name, which she refuses to provide.
02:48She wants to remain anonymous, but she wants access to my personal information.
02:54And this is not professional business practice.
02:56What it appears is going on here, not only are they using false names and pseudonyms, nicknames,
03:04fake names, in this medical practice, but they are also refusing to identify themselves.
03:11And this is a gigantic red flag for any person out there who is considering going to this large
03:20hospital.
03:20Grandview is one of the largest hospitals in the city of Birmingham and Alabama in the
03:25United States of America.
03:27And this is how they operate.
03:28You got problems, this is what you're going to be dealing with.

04:21name.
