To all the patients at North Jersey Orthopedic. Please beware of their billing practices. I…read morereceived a bill for a $10 co-pay for a doctor visit with Dr. Jonathan M. Archer in the Closter NJ office on 5/10/24. I have been at this office for 3 times in recent years. Each time, the co-pay is collected at the time you check in. I called the Teaneck billing office to explained to them the co-pay was paid, but I no longer has the receipt because it's almost 2 years ago. There wasn't anything the woman at the Teaneck office can do for me. I sent the statement (without a payment) back along with a written letter explaining my situation. That didn't resolve my issue because I had received another bill this month. I called the number 201-744-2894 on the bill and explained my situation. The gentleman I spoke with said that I must show prove that I had paid. He is not allowed to make any adjustments. He said if I don't pay, it will go to a collection agency. Bottom line is, they don't care to resolve your billing issue. They just want their money. Lastly, I was informed by them, they can bill you up to 7 years after service was done. So hold on to your receipts up to 7 years.

We returned to Dr. Hale after my mother underwent a second back surgery that left her in severe…read morepain and struggling to walk. Because he had done her original fusion and had such a strong reputation, we trusted him to give us an honest assessment. I brought her most recent CT and MRI scans, along with lab results showing a GFR of 17--the morning of that second surgery--indicating she was not an appropriate surgical candidate at the time. I also presented the report showing that a Coflex device had been used directly above a prior fusion, something that multiple sources list as contraindicated. Dr. Hale spent only a few minutes with her, glanced at the scans, and said everything looked fine. He offered no comment on the labs or the contraindicated device and simply recommended outpatient therapy. After her condition rapidly declined, we sought a second opinion from a top spinal surgeon at HSS, who reviewed the same imaging and said she was in urgent need of surgical intervention at that time. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. My mother is now wheelchair-bound, on dialysis three times a week, and unlikely to survive more than six months. She will live out what time she has left in pain--and in torment--knowing that those she once trusted to protect her instead looked the other way. From where I sit, it seems doctors protect their own, even when a patient's life is on the line.

I had an appointment on January 29 for what was presented as a simple nail clipping for fungal…read moretesting. There was no anesthesia, no nail removal, and no surgical biopsy performed. The provider simply clipped a portion of the nail and sent it to the lab. However, I was later billed under CPT code 11755 -- which is classified as a "nail unit biopsy" and categorized as surgery. This resulted in a significantly higher charge under my insurance plan. When I asked for clarification, I was told that nail clipping is considered surgery because a small portion of the nail is removed. This explanation does not align with what most patients would reasonably understand as a surgical procedure. Patients deserve transparent billing and accurate coding that reflects the actual procedure performed. I encourage anyone visiting this office to ask detailed questions about how procedures will be coded and billed before agreeing to testing. Very disappointed with how this was handled.
