Dr. Dent came highly recommended as I was having very terrible female problems, and needed an answer asap, with regards to cost, as I have no insurance. At my first visit, everyone was very wonderful, and Dr. Dent and his nurse Jenni went into detail about my problems and costs and treatment. My bill for that day was over $400.00, that hurt, but I left feeling relief and feeling cared for as a patient. My second visit was an emergency visit, of course, more problems. While in the room I stated that I still did not have a lot of money, so please keep the costs/tests low. Also I had concerns that nurse Jenni never returned my phone calls between the appointments regarding test results from the first time, she didn't even offer an appology, just said "We're really busy here". (Yeah, you're 9-4 schedule 4 days a week must be tough). I left that appointment and paid $60.00, thinking that was it. Then 2 weeks later I get a bill from quest diagnostics for $463.00! For the tests that Dr. Dent authorized. I promptly called their office and inquired about what test this was? Why I wasn't informed we were doing this test? Why no one told me how much it would cost (because I wouldn't have done that $400.00 dollar test, I just got done giving him $400.00 the first time). And, if I had tests done why the hell didn't anyone call me with results? I get a bill before I get results? I was very upset. I got no where with Dr. Dent he refused to help me out, refused to assist in paying for the test, even thought I did not authorize it, and started yelling at me that I'm the patient he's the doctor he makes the call. You don't ever yell at your patient! So getting no where with his office I called quest diagnostics and I told them my situation, after 2 hours on the phone with them, we discovered that due to my income (or lack of) I qualified for a program that helps people pay for their lab testing, and that actually I was qualified for 100% coverage, and that I didn't owe them anything. Thank god! I never found out the results to those tests! Then today, the reason I'm bothering to write a review, is that his office manager called my phone and left a message saying "Hi ____ Just wanted to let you kow we took care of the quest bill, and it's down to zero. Glad we could help. Call me with any questions." I called the office back and said "How dare you lie to me, you did nothing! I was on the phone with them for 2 hours and I discovered, Not YOU, that based on my lack of income (which is very embarassing to have to tell people) I qualified for assistance. Don't you dare call me and lie and say thanks to you to for anything! Thanks to you I almost had to pay $463.00 for a test I didn't even know I was having and never got the results for!"
