What Laws bound a doctor to properly care for patient ?

Well, my Doctor and his staff advise me they will call me when test are in. And to please not call them asking for results and they will ciontact me. My concern comes in when they dont contact me in the time period they say will and I eben give a extra week before I contact them , and find out Oh yeah your test results came in last week , we have to adjust your meds and advise you of other concefrns found in test. This is not the first time but like 3 rd time . and these are serious blood test and MRI;s test. . In New Jersy I firured I would post the question and did get good answer from first responce person NJ medical Board , who I contacted and they advised me that any serious test assoicated with casing pain, and there is no obvious reasons, And the result come back with medication chages that are inportant as are mine the paintent should be contact asap.bia phone. I thought  wow, I remeber when my doctor and or staff would even contact me when results were ok. But now seems I have to always check up with them and then find out there are serious findings resulting in right away new test and to see sprecalist soon as possiable. this kind of info needs to told to paitent soon as doctor sees the results which he sing off on over 6 day prior to my calling.

I thought would ask out of curiouslty what are the responceabltys of the Doctor and the patient. Strange, some my doctors are  right on top of everything about me and keep me inform of everything while others I been in the waiting room and seen patients come in demading to know where are there stress test results and or medical records for they tired of lack of care and going to other doctors. I also seen major lack of service dropped over years. while newer doctors are more concern with patients chronic care vs the Big dollar.  I think also it is wrong when pharmiscial rep come walking in and there are paitents waiting since they have appontiments and theses pharm reps walk in and say they just need to see doctor 2 minutes and the staff lets them right in , they get commision for each doctor signature visited and 3 more show up and our let in and mean time patients that are paying money are still waiting a hour later that sucks, other doctors I have will NOt see pharm reps during patients visiting hours , Phar reps need to see doctor before visiting hours or after. And that is the right way.! But now that I was given the NJ medical board web site , I found info helful and talking with the reps even more helpful. I haveall the info   I need Thank you to the first person that supplied the Web site and I respect the others opinons ,where all entitled to them.
