DO NOT EVER SEE DR FRANCES SJOVALL. I saw her at Medi Center in Carteret. I was informed today that this doctor is not refilling my medication that I have been on for YEARS with other Drs because she sees her patients every 3 months. Does anyone's insurance actually cover 4 PCP visits a year?!! I have NEVER heard of this as standard practice and am not coming back. My insurance does not cover more than one annual PCP appt a year. This was NOT prefaced to me when setting up an initial appt and there was NO mention of this when I did see her. This doctor is clearly looking to just make money and does not actually care about her patients. If she really did care, she would have called me after my bloodwork test results came in. I never got a single call about my results. Only when I call requesting a medication refill does it come to light that she needs to see me every 3 months. Now, I am forced to either pay 3 visits out of pocket to receive my medication refills, or pay out of pocket to see a different PCP since I saw her at my one covered annual visit. I feel incredibly mislead and I find her standard of practice incredibly unethical. Thanks Dr Sjovall for forcing me to wean myself off my own medication because I did not know I'd have to come back so frequently to get this medicine refilled and cannot afford to pay out of pocket to see you outside of my covered visit. Never in my life has this been standard practice for other Drs I have seen. Absolutely ridiculous. read more
