Reception had not verified my insurance (even though I had scheduled the appointment and provided insurance details more than 10 days before), and they did not ask about it when they called for confirmation 2 days before the appointment. I had to wait for ~1 hour for them to verify my insurance provider.

An outstanding internist who took the time to listen to me and was thorough in his assessment and recommendations. Additionally, his training in nephrology and understanding of "areas" beyond his field are unique. Dr. Metzger took extra time with me after a very trying day and took into account the "whole picture" asking all the right questions to decide on a course of examination and testing (blood panel) to rule out general medical conditions. Thank you!
