Had a complete knee replacement which Dr Leighton performed with robotic assistance which he confirmed with me that he was using weeks before my surgery. His billing dept, however didn't get it pre-authorized, only billed my insurance after the surgery and it was denied as experimental. Received a bill for almost $1000 and can't see him again for follow-up or to discuss. While I was very happy with Dr Leighton, it seems to me that his practice is committing fraud or, at the very least, shady, underhanded business practices. I will be filing complaints with licensing, county and state boards and my insurance provider. Would absolutely NOT recommend Palm Beach Orthopedics for anything! read more
