When I call regarding results of my tests, I am connected to a nurse where I am told to leave a message and they will return my call. I never receive a call back. On my chart regarding a UTI test it shows abnormal. This last test was on [DATE], today is [DATE], and I still have not had a call back. I had a bone density test in late [MONTH] and did not know the results until I asked my doctor on my [DATE] visit. This has happened over and over. I like my doctor and don't want to change, but I am very frustrated about not having my calls returned and getting the results of my tests.
