Dispute the bill. If you didn't cancel or fail to show up then why is he charging you $25.00? If he has no basis tell the collector you don't owe it and to stop calling you. If they call you again that is a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Acts both our state's and the federal one.
Guess that is why he is your former doctor eh?
Good luck and hope that helps.
