I would not recommend Aspire Allergy and Sinus at Kingsland Blvd. ,Katy.
I would like to share an incident that I consider as fraud. I was tricked to pay 128.00 $ to Aspire Allergy and Sinus located at Kingsland Blvd, Katy, Texas.
I went to Aspire allergy clinic located at Kingsland Blvd Katy , after hearing their advertisement on radio, where they claim" to do Allergy testing ''. When I called to book an appointment, I specifically asked her for blood allergy testing and not a doctor's appointment. I was given a date for an "allergy testing apt." and the person who booked the apt, did not clarify that this is a doctor's apt . The way I went about booking this appointment was by calling multiple places that popped up via internet search and the first two places where I called for appointment, told me clearly, "We don't do allergy testing".
Anyways, I showed up at the place and told them I have today's appointment for blood allergy testing (I was v clear about my pupose of visit). The front office person gave me a form and directed me to a room to wait and fill in the form. While I filled the form, he said, "You are here for blood testing for allergy right? You have two options, you can either see a doctor, which will cost you $128.00$ or you will have to pay $600 + $ 900 + $200 for blood testing. He clearly specify that $200$ will be the fee to collect your sample and transfer the blood sample from here to the lab." I was concerned with the hefty fees, so I took a couple of minutes to make a quick phone call and then informed the person who asked me the question that I would like to get the blood test done. I clearly communicated to this person that I did not want to see the doctor before I had my blood test reports. I requested them to draw my blood since I was sick of the allergies. He asked me to wait and meanwhile, fill the form.
After some time, a lady came and started talking to me. She told me that we don't do blood testing and that I need to visit Quest lab When I told her My sole purpose of the visit was to do the blood testing to find out what's causing the issues I am concerned about, she told me that they don't do any bloodwork there. Finally, she told me she was the Dr. and that I owed her $128.00 for this "consultation", which I HAD TO PAY. Then I questioned her and asked her about the information provided to me previously i.e.
the whole talk about $900 +$600 +$200$, and what was that $200 blood transfer fee to the lab was about. She did not answer me and rudely left the room. I waited there for some time thinking someone will come and answer me. When no one came in, I went out of the room.
As I was about to leave, they forced me to pay the $128. This way I was misguided and mislead to believe that I was getting tested for allergies. I feel absolutely cheated and tricked by the personnel who work in this facility. I would not recommend this facility to anyone. read more
