I cannot really tell you about the Drs. Bogie. I visited their office twice but never saw him or spoke with either of them. I was funneled to an optometrist that works in their offices. I was referred to the Drs. Bogie by my primary care physician. This was not my primary care physician's first choice but the Dr. of choice was out of town and my primary care physician did not want to put off specialized diagnosis and treatment of an eye. The treatment my primary care physician was antibiotic eye drops and it was working but the OD in the Drs. Bogie's office thought another would be better. I felt that the $230 charge was excessive for diagnosis by an OD but prices were not listed in the waiting room and the service by the underling had been rendered. I paid as I exited the offices. The OD asked me to follow up in a week. I did so, and all was good with the eye. I left the offices without mention of a charge for the followup. Several weeks later I received a billing for $120 for the followup visit. Once again, my bad. I did not think to ask, "How much is this followup going to cost me?". I have been to followup visits with surgeons, dermatologists, primary care physicians, specialists, and other real professionals. I have never been charged for a 3 minute followup visit with an OD. If you have the misfortune of visiting these Drs, be sure to get a price for every service or product they provide before they are applied or rendered and get every visit pre-approved with your insurance carrier. I consider these two to be greedy, dishonest individuals. read more
