Um.... they have to let you know that you need an appointment. "Your lab tests came back and we'd like to make a follow-up appointment."
My mortgage broker didn't mind emails.
- dkersten 8y agoWhere I live, the doctor/dentist/optometrist never calls me first. They may call me back, but I always call them first. Recently I had some blood tests done and the doctor told me to give them a call in a week. I did, let the receptionist know I was calling about test results and she called me back after getting the details from my doctor. I’ve never got a call from any of them without expecting it because I’ve initiated it.
- kaybe 8y agoThey sometimes call me to shift appointments. Either something came up for the doctor and they're moving the appointments away, or someone needs a longer very urgent procedure just before my appointment and I'm just going to be there for routine stuff.. things like that.

- maccard 8y ago> Your lab tests came back and we'd like to make a follow-up appointment." So you're expecting a call from them in this case?
- ilikehurdles 8y agoThat's typically how it works.
