I called today Kohly Outpatient Rehabilitation Center at 305-285-2966 to schedule an appoint referral from my Doctor. I called numerous times and not answer. I finally spoke to someone and informed them for an appointment. She asked me for my insurance I told her Employee I have Armed Insurance, she replied I don’t know if we take insurance and transfer me to another person which kept me on hold more than 15 minutes. I called again numerous times but no one answer so I gave up. You lost a patient which I worked for Miami-Dade County, and I am very upset.
