Re: Is there a "better business bureau" type service for doctors?
Doctors and lawyers are not allowed to terminate the working relationship with their patient or client at inappropriate times. For a doctor, this might be, for example, half-way through surgery, for a lawyer, it could be before a court deadline. At all other times, the doctor or lawyer is free to end the working relationship.
As I see it, while you may, perhaps, have grounds for disputing the bill (although, even then, you'd need to know all the items on the bill, and there may be extra, related charges, besides the test itself) there are no grounds for a complaint about the doctor ending the professional relationship.
