Been twice. First time for pain in hip. Had in house scans, were reviewed, recommended in house physical therapy which insurance covered.
All went well, no cure but felt better. Only allowed so many visits and surgery was not an option.
Second time was initiated by myself again for sudden intense pain in right leg from knee down. Unable to stand so went in. Had scans for knee first, reviewed with Jordan showing some cartilage damage due to age, but no tears. Recommended scans on lower keg which I feel should have been done same time so wouldn't have had second copay.
Reviewed with Jordan, no infection or tears.
No physical therapy was offered, odd?
Instead, he took me into another room, I guess the sakes pitch room and brought out a pamphlet showing a course of treatment that included stem cell, platelet therapy and laser. All for $25,000. Oh, and not only would insurance never cover, but they were dropping my insurance, Aetna, in the following week and all insurances in the future.
Talked to family member that had the platelet and laser therapy and was told the stem cell part was a bit of an over reach for my condition and platelet therapy didn't always last, hence the lasers.
I didn't have $25000 lying around anyway.
Wouldn't go back because now it seems like they just want $$$. read more
