i got a call today  9/6/08 at 10:00 am message says someone in your family has an appointment on tuesday with our office.  Who is someone since I make the appointments and who is our office.  I have no idea who i supposedly have an appointment with.  If I did have an appt that I forgot about, how would this help.

they are not aloud to say the patients name on the recording or specifically which dr. the appt is with.  I know..stupid but its HIPPA regulations.

its not a scam, its dr. doughty in bloomington illinois, its a reminder service for your next appointment

i received the call at 6:07 pm. on a thursday. it was a recorded reminder that i had a gyno appointment that monday. came up as "alabama" on my cell phone caller id, which i thought was bizarre.

Its a calling service for various companies.  Mine was a reminder to get maintenance performed on a car which i do not own anymore.  Left a 2 minute annoying message.
