Ok so I've been seeing Doctor Solverson for over 20 years. Let me tell you his father was a great dentist but he is a money grubbing you know what!! I got a few cavitities filled and was told by his office staff that my co-pay was $80 which I paid the day the work was done. Later I got a bill for $160...three times the amount they quoted me!! When I talked to the rude woman in the office for the first time she said that the office doesn't follow my insurance's payment plan. Why that wasn't disclosed to me I don't know and I certainly did not understand how the co-pay they told me was only a third of what they really were going to charge. Anyway, things got crazy at work and being on 14 hour days with literally not even a lunch break did not leave me much time to deal with it...that's my fault I know. They called me a few times and I missed the call but when I did get back in touch with them the girl I talked to this time wasn't helpfull either. I made it pretty clear that I wanted to just get this resolved but I did not agree to pay the entire charge when the office was so far off on quoting me what the work would cost me. After a few minutes of getting nowhere I said I'd write a letter to the Dentist and she said snydly "ok if that's what you wanna do". I found out later that the dentist doesn't get involved in the finaces with the patiends and he has an office manager that the girl should have forwarded me to but she didn't suggest that. So I wrote the letter. I just said I really didn't understand why his office didn't figure out before hand that they don't "follow my insurances payment plan" as the first girl had told me. I let him know that I felt his office had dropped the ball and asked if he would he possibly consider settling the bill for a lesser amount. It was clear that I really just wanted to get to someone who could answer that question so we could all resolve this and move on. A few weeks passed and no responce. Then one day a process server comes to my door. I wasn't home so he knocked on my neighbors door and asked if they knew where I was...as if I'm hiding from him like some criminal. It was early afternoon on a Wednesday so I was at work, shouldn't be hard to figure out. When I get home there's this note on my door from him saying he has to serve me legal documents and my neighbors asked what was up. How embarassing! The guy couldn't come back untill the next day and I spent the entire night up crying wondering what the heck was going on. It even caused me problems with my husband since I couldn't help but wonder if he was serving me surprise divorce papers. I just couldn't figure out who would want to sue me! So when the guys serves me the next day, turns out Solverson was sueing me for the $160 bill!! I called him immediately and left a message, he called me back and left me a message saying to talk to his office manager. The next day she got back to me and we went around for a while. She kept focusing on the fact that I had missed a few calls from them trying to collect the debt. I pointed out that I talked to them twice and sent a letter which was hard enough to find time for. I asked about the letter, she admitted that they got it and had put it in my file but never tried to contact me with a responce So what kind of person gets a letter from a patient who makes it clear they want to resolve a bill, and just ignores it and go sues the person?? She wouldn't answer that question so I asked to talk to Solverson. She said he wouldn't talk to me about it, he's too busy. I bet, too busy draining his patients pocket book! I told her I would pay the bill, that was never the issue and my two calls and letter should have been proof that I wanted to pay it but I wanted some answers first and no one cared to help me. At this point I don't care about the bill, I'll pay the whole thing. I'm really just upset with the poor integrity and buisness practice of this office. read more
