I received a 30 minute in office balloon sinuplasty procedure, resulting in a bill for $25,000. Based on all the information I was able to gather on the standard cost of such a procedure, my bill should have been no more that $7,500 before insurance. To compound matters, I felt worse after the procedure than I had prior to it. I feel that I was pushed into an unnecessary procedure for the sole profit of this establishment. As a result, I will not be returning to Specialty Care.

A few weeks ago, I was laughing while reading all of these 1 star reviews. Now I am writing one…read more And for a very good reason. So before I saw all of the "great" reviews this place has, i decided to make an appointment. I made my appointment, and as soon as I finished- the Yelp reviews popped up. Yup. Over 100 1 star reviews. I read quite a few and instantly decided that I needed to save myself a headache and cancel my appointment. I called this place and left a very detailed voicemail of all my information, stating I just made an online appointment 5 minutes ago and would like to cancel because of how poor the reviews are. Nobody called me back, so I assumed they cancelled my appointment. A few days later I received a reminder text about my upcoming appointment...I responded right away and left another voicemail (does anyone pick up phones at this place lol) explaining that I have already cancelled this appointment. No response. Again. A few weeks later...I received a $50 bill for not showing up to my appointment!!! Hahahaha oh my. Now I see what all of these yelp reviews are talking about. Horrible experience. I never set foot in this office or talked to one person and they have the audacity to try and charge me $50?? Even after I left 2 very clear and detailed voicemails explaining that I want to cancel and stated my reason for cancelling. I even texted their text system every time they tried telling me I have an appointment. They do not use a DONOTREPLY texting system, they can absolutely see the texts. So 4 attempts to cancel an appointment and they still try to charge me $50 for a no show. I already called their service number and was met with an interesting conversation. The lady on the other end told me that the appointment I made was for the very next day and since I cancelled the appointment, it was within 24 hour notice so I was charged. She also said since this is my first time, they will clear the charge. Cool. I accepted what she said and they got rid of the charge. ...but what she said was not true at all. My appointment was for 5 days after I set the appointment. I got a text confirming that I made an appointment. I also got another text reminding me about my appointment a day before the scheduled date. I didn't bother telling the lady this on the phone because she said she was getting rid of the charge. I'm confused as to why she lied about my appointment being made for the very next day and that my cancellation violated their 24 hour rule. I first cancelled the appointment 4 days before the actual appointment. Oh well. This "business" if you can even call them that - is an embarrassment. I truly believe every single one star review I see for this place. I have experienced it myself. They are not organized, they clearly don't listen to voicemails or take the time to cancel someone's appointment so they can try and snake you for $50. Im convinced they didn't even bother to look up the fact that I did call them and text them multiple times. They just gave me some BS they give to everyone "you canceled within the 24 hr period you owe us $50". I can imagine a lot of people just accept this and pay. What a horrible business practice. I'm sure that's how they get most of their money. No way they have many repeat customers.

Our son is now one year! I've made many phones calls as a first time parent.

We absolutely love Dr. Scott O'Donnell, he has been our pediatrician since day one and we always prefer to see him! He truly takes time to talk with us and makes us feel so welcome. We trust he has the best advice for us as parents and for our sons health! All the other doctors we have seen are great as well! Amanda is super friendly and welcoming. I've talked to Dawn many times about concerns and questions about my sons health and she's so kind and helpful. Thank you to all the front desk staff, nurses and doctors for taking care of my son!!!

When I spoke to the office manager Wendy about it, she backed up the nurse and didn't seem to mind what kind of poor attitude the staff has. Reading through other reviews made me realize I'm not the only parent that has been talked to this way and dismissed by the office manager. The doctors are good, but they aren't aware of how their nurses and office clerks are to their clients. Like many others, I'm pulling my kid out of Children and Teens Medical Center. To be immediately lectured over the phone with a condescending tone when I asked for a second option to getting my kid treatment was the final straw. Wendy Lembke doesn't care how her staff talks to anyone. It's all about money. Don't bring your kid here.
