Patient Reviews
Jun 02, 2023
Refuses to see a patient until they first schedule an appt to see his PA. With my high deductible insurance that would cost me about $250 extra. I just recently seen a family doctor in his Methodist group in the Woodlands. So Dr Aamir ran test and xrays and wrote an order to see an Ortho dr. I guess I will not see Dr Palmer because of these practices. If an MD's order has to be still go through a PA for an approval make no sense to me
