I saw Dr. David Miller of Town Center Orthopedics beginning September 2016 and I wasted 3 months and all this money while I am still experiencing the same issues.
This doctor and the practice as a whole literally cares more about money than treating patients in my opinion.
Do not even bother seeing anyone here if you're having issues with pain because you will be treated like a drug seeker(there's a sign warning patients of opiate addiction).
They will already assume that you are a drug addict just because they've had patients in the past who became addicted to medications that they prescribed for pain.
This insulting because not all patients or people for that matter with legitimate pain issues are drug seekers or become addicted to pain medication.
Also, do not see this doctor or any other doctor here unless you can afford to pay your out of pocket deductible upfront and most likely all at once.
You will have to pay whatever amount of your deductible you have not met all at once!!!! You will not be billed later.
I have very good insurance with a $1,500 deductible which is on the low end as far as deductibles go and I was still billed $200 after having cortisone injections in my wrists for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Even after the insurance company paid the $1,600 that they billed.
The crazy thing is the injections were not even done properly with an anesthetic so I'm not even sure why the bill was so high.
Their billing person and receptionists are rude and disrespectful and you will be given the runaround over insurance and financial issues before you can even see the doctor.
I have never seen this before anywhere else.
Usually I just pay my copay($25) and get a bill in the mail.
What's the point of having insurance if you cannot even use it?
I wish I saw someone else sooner and saved myself the headache and stress on top of the pain I was already in as a result of my condition.
If you have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, do not even bother with this doctor or Town Center Orthopedics.
They do not offer the Endoscopic Release Surgery and only the traditional release one, which is more painful and requires a longer recovery period and they don't do a very good job of explaining it to you. Most likely because they DO NOT care.
Their own PA said they do 6 or 7 of these a day so to them it is just about getting as many patients as possible and making a profit, which is disgusting.
They made it seem like it was like having your wisdom tooth pulled and that the recovery period was shorts
It just is not true because it is a painful procedure, leaves a scar, takes months for recovery, and they will only address the pain for a week with a weak prescription pain medicine called Norco. Norco!
A week!
You're likely to get a more powerful prescription for a less painful procedure like having your wisdom teeth pulled.
Dr. Miller seems nice but does not care at all about your input and his PA is always in the room typing up everything that is said which is not only distracting but also makes you feel uncomfortable to ask the doctor anything.
Needless to say, I'm glad I won't be going back for any further treatment and will look for another doctor who actually understands patients and their concerns.
In short, this place is a joke and if you care at all about your health, value your self-respect, and looking for a respectful patient doctor experience then you owe it to yourself to AVOID Town Center Orthopedics like the plague.
There are far too many Orthopedic practices and Orthopedic Surgeons in the Washington D.C. Area to choose from that offer cutting edge treatments and will care for you and your health issues rather than just seeing you as a walking bank account or assuming that you're a drug addict!
I have never been more disgusted with a doctor's office or been treated so negatively by a doctor as I have by Dr. Miller and his staff.
I hope my review helps other people make informed decisions and to know what they will likely experience seeking care from this place. read more
