I had a negative experience when I checked in with Dr. Khabbaza's receptionist. She said I was late for three appointments in a rather disgusted tone of voice. I felt like I was just scolded by my mother! I told her the e-mail I received for the Dr. VIsit showed that I was actually early by 5 min. Apparently, I was scheduled for a breathing test but I did not receive a text or e-mail about that appointment. Dr. Khabbaza apologized and told me the appointment notification was not my fault and that It had happened a couple times previously with others and he would talk to the scheduler again about the Breathing Test notification procedure.
