I received reminders and I updated online what ever they needed. When I went to the appointment they told me that this appointment was canceled by them because first I need to be seen by a physician assistant. I am very disappointed. The office would have had 2 weeks to contact me and inform me about this. Instead they told me when I finally went for my appointment.
