Had a very disappointing experience with the office manager and staff trying to get pre-authorization on Rx sent to insurance. The original Rx from Dr. Klein was prescribed over 7 months ago ( why wasn't all the pre-authorization done then if your office staff is so wonderful Dr. Klein? I've had the same insurance the entire time... so many excuses but the fact is your office never bothered to send pre-authorization for over 7 months).
I didn't call or press the issue to fill this Rx until a month ago when I returned for another visit... the Office manager later confessed (when pressed) there was no rush getting them the pre-authorization... fulling knowing they "would deny coverage" ( really... over 7 months since the Dr. wrote the Rx..shouldn't they have sent in the pre-authorization?). Office manager Said it was "my cheap insurance, that I choose". Took over a month, to get them to send in information... from my 2nd visit.. total waste of time, hours of phone calls to be denied. Full of excuses, on multiple occasions both Rx & insurance company phoned the office while I was on the phone with them asking for information they required be sent. They did not return calls, and are very, argumentative and condescending. Office manager would not allow me to speak with any doctor's when I requested, I was told "doctor's don't speak with the patients", the office has many defensive blocks set in place. You have to leave messages, the staff do not want to speak with patients, if your late 10 min. "because of parking" they make you reschedule... as if they could careless about the patients needs, Read the other reviews you can tell which are fakes.. I am not the only one, staffs attitude = insurance coverage $$$$
CAN NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS THERE as they do not have the patients best interest at heart in my experience.
Parking is a nightmare, valet only way to park.
Dr Klein hardly looked up at me the 1st visit, he would not answer any specific questions. As he went over my history, typed a couple of things in his phone then stuck it in my face. "High Risk".. When asked why I have developed afib.. he said the "list of reasons is as long as your arm".. 2nd visit I complained to his nurse.. and he answered a few questions, his nurse is pleasant and helpful. I told his office manager, I was going to pursue an investigation with the medical legal board. After posting this negative review, They have phoned and left electronic messages.. more now than ever before... trying to CYA, their liability and trying to serve notice of "Withdrawal of treatment". I can assure you, all this did happen as described. Ask yourself, do you want a doctor & staff...who are so out of touch with standard practice of filing insurance?.. Or an office staff that doesn't follow up with pre-authorization for over 8 months? He says he's proud of his team, and welcomes criticism and then sends "withdrawal of treatment" letters to release them of liability.. Until I am under the care of a decent Dr's office they are LIABLE, for their lack of actions. I might add, I can barely write/post this review before someone is putting in their response. It could easily be the shrewd office manager covering her tracks. What doctor would allow such behavior, if he knew about it.. at all? She could be responding for him, as many posts say "in response for" Dr. Klein. If the response below is from Dr. Klein, his attempt to discredit my review show's that truly the FISH DOES STINK FROM THE HEAD! read more
