While visiting Philadelphia at the end of September this year I fell on a wet uneven sidewalk and…read morebanged my right temple opening up a 2-3 inch gash which bled profusely. My right eye swelled up and I had bruises on my face. They did a cat scan and said no bones were broken. I didn't realize I had additional damage that would require eye surgery. Two days later, I couldn't see clearly in my right eye. I called Dr. Mahootchie's office and they got me in the next morning. Apparently, I hit my head so hard I knocked the crystal lens from cataract surgery 10 years before out of position. I have been Dr. Mahootchie's patient for many years and trust him completely. I knew he would take care of it for me. On Oct. 7th I had surgery at the Surgery Center on the grounds behind the Eye Clinic of Florida. I was reminded when I arrived, what a superb staff he has. Getting any kind of Eye surgery is always a situation that can make a patient worry. I can honestly say I wasn't concerned at all. I have been on the receiving end of his excellent care fore many years. His experience and expertise are unparalleled. He's a fantastic surgeon and his staff both in the office and in the Surgery Center are professional, welcoming, respectful and very kind. There is no other opthalmologist I would ever consider going to. You can trust him to take wonderful care of you. My surgery on the 7th was a success. I'm so thankful I found him when we moved to Florida in 2002. Mary Ellen Klugh

Seems according to Medicare that the blood work to test for clotting was not submitted/coded properly & they refused coverage! How in Gods name can Clotting properties not be covered for surgery is beyond me. I called spoke with Florida Med. which referred me to Medicare who said FMC didn't code the bill properly and should have noted that it was surgically related & "medically necessary". Well Florida Medical said they would review it. Then called a few days later to say the would not resubmit as they didn't deem it necessary! Fla. Med. submitted the bill (according to Medicare) claiming I signed a "advance notification of non coverage" (which I am going to insist on seeing). That being said, why would FMC even do that? I have a call in to my primary to ask why her billing department is refusing to do their job and code this blood work as "medically necessary"...I'm waiting & will update! It's Friday, how much do we want to bet I won't hear anything!! Update, I received no call back from the doctor. I will be calling first thing Monday morning. If I don't get a response I will be going down there in person. Will update.. I did hear on Monday that the claim would be resubmitted after my doctor was consulted. I think its odd that Medicare would reject blood work for surgery. But hopefully this will be the last of this issue. Update:1/4 It was NOT handled. Now had to go over the entire issue again. Still FMC refuses to address resubmission of the bill to Medicare w/proper code and explanation! I have a MRI scheduled, if this issue isn't resolved, I am cancelling & finding a new provider no associated with FMC!

Overcharging for services…read more My account was charged using a CPT code for a "non-manipulation treatment," resulting in a total charge that grossly exceeded what other reputable medical offices charge for the same service. When I disputed this excessive charge, the Billing Supervisor, the person with a professional interest in collecting the money--was the only individual allowed to review and confirm the charge was "correct." They provided no independent patient advocate for oversight, which is standard practice elsewhere. Patients paying out-of-pocket or with high deductibles should seek alternative providers with more equitable fees.

When I made the appointment they asked if I would be ok without meds until then, I had just picked up my last script so I was. Day of appointment: Didn't get to see the actual Doctor for a initial visit. Brought all my previous MRI results that were less than 2 years old. Filled out all the questionnaires and stated what was going on. Nurse seen : Ethel Smith She smiled after our conversation and said, did you expect to get meds today? Even gave a little chuckle, she stated that my pain was not that bad and that I was too fat. No meds were given but she is sending me for more MRI's knowing that I am a self pay without insurance in Florida as of yet. That could cost me anywhere up to $5000.00 I wouldn't recommend this office although the front staff seemed helpful. In the process of finding a new pain management place now but wihout insurance until January it is going to prove to be difficut to say the least.

Wildly my dad and my sister were both admitted on the same day. My dad's nurse Greg was less than…read morestellar. More worried about his ego than doing his job correctly, Greg noted my dad had an issue with his pacemaker on his chart. My dad does not have a pacemaker. When I told him he had the wires from a previous heart surgery replaced, he insisted my dad had open heart surgery and not a replacement. Excuse me?! I was with the man on Monday for the surgery. Then he placed an IV line that was faulty and far more painful than it should have been. When the techs at CT pointed out they needed a new line, his ego again took the lead and he had to "prove" he did it correctly which the ENT who was in charge of transporting him pointed out blew the vein. Apparently it took getting a new nurse at shift change to get a correct chart to be made and the transport to actually happen. Once she came, everything moved swiftly and with accurate information. Care for my sister was equally good. Great communication and nurse Paul was excellent. Greg needs to check his ego at the door and put the focus on his patients.

I couldn't get a hold of the one they recommended, so I was able to get my primary to do an order to see Dr. Citrin. He came into the exam room and literally said "So you ended up in the ER due to leg swelling, but that has nothing to do with me, and it's not my problem. Go see your Cardiologist, it's his problem not mine." He never looked at the paperwork, never examined me, never let me ask any questions. The last thing he said was "You're probably in Congestive Heart Failure, but like i said, that's the Cardiologist's problem, not mine.' When I saw my Cardiologist 3 weeks later I told him that Dr. Citrin said I'm in Congestive Heart Failure and I asked if that was true. The Cardiologist said "Absolutely not true at all. There is nothing wrong with your heart, and you actually did better on your stress test this time than the last time a few years ago. You are a low risk for heart problems." Avoid Dr. Citrin like the plague

I paid up front and a few weeks later got my explanation of benefits from my insurance. They had over charged me $370.00. I called them for a refund they said you have a credit on your account. I told them I wanted the money not a credit. This was in October it is now December, 2 months later and I still don't have my money. Called numerous times and no one will call me back. I have been getting the run around. This is totally unacceptable, then I asked for the number to where their billing is done and I was told, they can't give out the number. What kind of stuff is this? Never heard you can't call someone to inquire about money they owe you. Now we know if the shoe was on the other foot, the would be harassing me on the phone and my account would be in collections. I will not make any appointments in the future until I receive the explanation of benefits from my insurance. That is if I even decide to keep this dentist. This is total CRAP.

RELIEF! This experience was tragic for us. But their experience & confidence in what they do made…read morelife so much easier for us to endure through the process beginning to end. My husband had surgery Dec 8, 2016. Before going in he had been having very high blood pressure, had several episodes of kidney stones, was in chronic pain especially his heels, knees, elbows & wrists, he battled chronic fatigue, sleep apnea, heart burn & extreme moodiness. Up to being on the stretcher going into surgery I requested pillows to help prop up his knees & lay across his lap to rest his hands on to try to make him more comfortable which he still was NOT. After going back to prep for surgery, have surgery & wake up in recovery approx an hour my husband was in better mood! He had his IV out & was talking. I asked him if he needed his pillows back & he said he was fine & wasn't hurting at all. When discharged a couple hrs later he was ready to eat! We went back to the hotel by shuttle & ate in their restaurant. He ate mild hot wings, blacked fish & seasoned veggies with lemonade to drink. Fasting for surgery and being about 4 pm (this is food & drink he generally can't tolerate on a normal day!!!) I was surprised he did well. When we got back to the room we played a full game of rummy with him wide awake (out of character with his usual preference to nap without being in surgery). After the game of cards he wanted Pizza so I ordered a pepperoni Pizza with great warning! But he tolerated it!!! That night he tried to get us up & on the road to head back to the Panhandle of Florida which took us 6 hrs to get there due to road construction & heavy steady traffic. When we got home he proceeded to go out to work in his garage! He has surgery less than 24 hrs ago. He has so much energy compared to before. He (we) now sleep all through the night without to 10-20 episodes of apnea that waked us up before each night. His blood pressure is now within normal limits & NO MORE bone & joint pain. He had a small growing lesion above his left eye lid for a solid year BUT it disappeared. I am hopeful he won't have anymore kidney stones. My happy, friendly husband is back! He had been missing for 12-14 yrs! This group of persons that work there were all extremely kind & informative. They answered questions I did not think of yet. The doctors are extremely confident about their knowledge & surgery of the Parathyrold. While we were there waiting for him to come from surgery we met people from New York and out West. One had previous surgery at a Mayo clinic but they were not complete in their surgery & she needed another so they referred her there. I am so THANKFUL for their practice & expertise! Worth the surgery!!!!!
