I dialed the office number for Clair Physical Therapy approx 5 separate times before someone actually answered the phone. A person named Kastin finally answered. I asked her if they were accepting new patients. Kastin said, "Yes." Then, I asked if she could tell me the their physical location since I had already received their address from my insurance company. But, Kastin told me that she didn't know where she was! !?!?!?!?! She told me that she would have to look it up on GOOGLE MAPS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Obviously, Kastin was in a call center located off property somewhere. She was horrible at telling me the exact location of their offices in Plano!!! As a result, I was on the phone with Kastin for over 20 minutes. 20 MINUTES IS THE VERY DEFINTION OF INEFFICIENCY TO SCHEDULE AN APPT! Finally, I asked her, "Can you just transfer me to someone at that location?" "No," was here one-word reply. !?!?!?!?! So, Kastin began asking me questions instead. She had begun the data entry portion of the call. She took all of my pertinent information including insurance policy, etc. Then, she told me that she needed my credit card information. !?!?!?!?! I asked Kastin why she needed my credit card when they could just file my insurance upon my first visit there. She said, "We need a credit card to hold your reservation." I explained, "You're NOT a hotel holding a reservation." She said, "Well, you can bring us a personal check in the amount of $40 BEFORE your appointment." BOGUS! SCAM! Of course, they'd like to have forty dollars of my money BEFORE I show up for my first appointment. I tried to get her to explain to me whether I could get my $40 reservation money back after my first appointment. Kastin refused to answer that question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked her for the name of her manager. Trevor Soper. I asked to speak with Trevor. Kastin put me on hold b/c eternal holding patterns over twenty minutes is their specialty. AND THEN SHE DISCONNECTED THE CALL! So, I called back. This time, Sofia answered the phone. I asked Sofia for her manager. She said, "You mean the director?" (incompetence) I said, "Yeah...whatever you guys call the person in charge. Trevor came on the line. As it turns out, Trevor IS NOT an office manager or supervisor or a director!!! He's just one of the physical therapists! I tried to tell Trevor about the unusually long hold time that was approx 30 minutes. He said, "I don't care." Trevor refused to listen! There are thousands of physical therapy offices in the metroplex. If you don't want to hold your appointment time with a $40 reservation fee that may or may not be reimbursed, I suggest you call someone else. Ridiculous 20-minute call time duration, employees who don't know where they are located & have to refer to Google Maps, and ridiculous hotel reservations with your credit card info including the security code on the back of your card!!! All of that...just to schedule and hold an appointment. That's unacceptable imho. When I asked my husband Jack to come on the line so he could hear Trevor's nonsense...Trevor refusing al to listen to me...Trevor talking over me...Trevor released the call. !?!?!?!?! Apparently, Trevor was afraid to have a grown man on the line paying attention to the unprofessionalism taking place! Trevor was more than willing to treat the woman on the line as persona non grata. At any rate, Trevor wouldn't allow Jack to inquire about their $40 policy to "hold my reservation." Plus, I don't trust what CLAIR PT may do with all of my private information. Will they sell it? or run my insurance anyway? Who knows. If anything shady happens to my insurance, etc, I know exactly where to begin my search for identity theft. CLAIR PT surely wanted money for nothing as evidenced by their $40 reservation policy. MONEY FOR NOTHING AND ZERO TRANSPARENCY! Any business that wants a credit card and/or personal check as a deposit before they'll see you in their office is a joke!!! Then, when you factor in that they refused to tell me if I could get the $40 deposit back...the whole situation feel like a scam to me!!!
