Update: Thank you for your condescending reply. I know the intended purpose of scanning my ID, but as an attorney and IT Security specialist informed me, your system cannot promise security or privacy. I did not get your information from Google, but my insurance provider. But thank you for the tip. Also, as previously mentioned, strive though you may, I was NOT informed. Hence, the following. I hope that anyone thinking of visiting your office reads the arrogant, patronizing, and unprofessional response you decided to post and thinks twice about placing their trust and healthcare in such hands.
What a waste of my time. First, despite the fact that I was treated like a new patient no one bothered to tell me that their location had changed. I was also told, only when I got to the front desk, that I was required to have my photo ID scanned in order to see the doctor. I see a number of doctors with different specialties all around the area and never once have I been turned away because I didn't want a identification with my photograph scanned into a system I am not familiar with. I was told by an attorney that it is my right to refuse. Apparently it is also the right of healthcare providers to refuse care to anyone not submissive to their policies. I guess that's good for me to know ahead of time since I will be seeing another doctor.
