"My mother has seen Dr Tweeten for some 40+ years she is 90 years old and "Legally Blind" - he did a test on her eyes during her visit for macular degeneration and a stroke that neither Medicare nor her supplement covered - that is not the issue really- my brothers and I pay her bills for her and none of us saw the bill for 40 dollars that the office says they sent us ... they sent her to collections we also were unaware of until it was time for her next appt - we were not "granted" another appointment because of this - we quickly paid the bill and called again for an appointment. We were told we would have to ask the office manager to be reinstated back in the practice - so bottom line they are treating a 90 year old blind woman like a criminal for $40 because they could not pick up the phone and call her or me after 40 year patronage- 0 stars are too many. Does Dr Tweeten truly care about patients?"
