I had trouble with my insurance. They dropped my long standing referral and didn’t inform me. I had called the office Friday afternoon leaving a message I needed the new referral but they didn’t respond. Because it was 15 min passed my appointment the office staff said I would have to resecule I had the foley too long and I wanted it out. They got on the ball and sent the referral but Dr Watkins fax was busy after two times they exchanged the case number and the staff finally took care of me and took the foley out
