1 /5 Darren Joyce: This also on Yelp. I also reported this Doctor to Anthem Blue Cross - my insurance company -PPO.
Had a sleep study scheduled for a Sunday night.
Paperwork does say no caffeine, Alcohol within 24 hours of sleep study.
I forgot and had one miller light with a pasta dinner many hours prior to my 10:00 pm appointment.
I also had a coffee that morning.
I had to do this several years ago and it is very difficult to sleep when your covered in wires, a camera is watching you, they keep waking you up to change masks.
I had to spend 3 separate nights here until I was able to sleep - and only after a sleeping pill was I able to.
So this time I had 1 light beer with dinner and coffee in the morning.
I brought a -melatonin tablet ( herbal)- so I could sleep.
I was honest and wrote it in my paperwork.
Well
The women comes in and tells me that because I had consumed one light beer, and took a sleep aid, according to the two assistants - I HAD to now stay - could not leave - or they would "call the POLICE and "have me arrested and my license revoked".
