Complaint Review:
Rae E. Ringenberg MD
Rae E. Ringenberg, MD Apopka Family Practice, What a waste of time, I never been so insulted, I thought I was seeing a Dr. , turned out to be a nurse. Apopka, Florida
So there I was looking for a new Dr. I went around, had my past records all sent to these people.
They charged me the usual fee, but at my 3rd visit I found out the whole time I had been see, it was a nurse that was treating me.
At my last visit I asked if she would refill a sleeping pill prescription, she said no, the nurse said she could not write those because I had to see a DR. I said " I thought you were a DR." No, I said "Do you have a Dr here?"? she said " no "
I was like " WHAT"? are you serious? I said " well I will have to go somewhere else then" but I took a look at the business card from them and there was a DR. on it, she said " he is no longer with us" then she wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic for my mouth, I had been having problems from dental work.
All though I was grateful for that, I still expressed confusing over them not having a DR. in the office.
Then I get a registered letter from them saying " trust and confidence has been strained and they suggested I go elsewhere, for they can no longer serve me as my DR.
Well I would like to know how they can continue to see patients and give out cards that say there is a DR there?
I think I must have scared them because I pointed it out, then they send me a letter.
What a crock.
Just one more reason why you can't trust anyone.

When Im in Northern Indiana two major medical facilities match a person up with a Nurse Practitioner when one seeks the care of a doctor.
Here in Florida, Im now being seen by Doctors Assistants when completing appointments with the doctor. Frankly, I must admit, however, these sub-doctors seem to often be more concerned and take more time with patients than the 15 minute rush job with a full degreed physician. And as knowledgeable.
