Scheduled a doctors appointment for my daughter's constipation with a different doctor hoping for another opinion. While we were checking in the Nurse asked what's wrong, I told her, then she said "Oh, we'll have to do some imaging." Before we even got to see the doctor we scheduled for we were taken to the ER and now I am facing a $2000 bill for an x-ray for poop and an opinion from the same doctor we'd already seen. I didn't want to go to the ER, if it was an urgent issue we would have, but just for constipation?
My daughter struggles with it and has for 6 years. We were just hoping for another opinion than Dr. West's "Use MiraLAX every day for the rest of her life."
When I tried to explain that we were there for a doctor's appointment and not an ER visit and we just wanted to see Dr. Ivan's his only response was to smile and shrug and say "Well, it happens."
No. No it shouldn't happen. When you schedule a doctor visit you should get to see that doctor, not be catfished into shelling out thousands on an unnecessary ER visit. I've tried calling and emailing trying to get a hold of someone, but all I get is a work around to the same call centers who refer me back to the same call centers again. Finally they gave me an email to talk to someone with, but for the past month, I haven't been able to get a single response.
Thus, the negative review. It's my only way to tell everyone else to watch out, because even if you tell them your medical history and the reason you're there, they will find the absolute most expensive way of not helping you. read more
