These people are crooks!! They do not tell you up front all the charges you will incur however the surgeon has to get a big chunk before he will do the surgery. They tried to charge me rates above the negotiated rate they had agreed upon with my insurance company United Health Care. I contacted my insurance company they had to write a letter to the practice stating that had over charged me and finally months later I got refunded close to $1,000. After that another charge came thru for a $350.00 consult bill dated pre-surgery. I refused to pay, and they turned over to collections I had to pay it along with collections service fees to avoid effecting my credit. Do NOT trust. I had a simple surgery that ended up costing me a lot of money out of pocket that I was not aware I would have to pay. Surgeon fee, use of a facility fee ($14,000.00) anesthesia fees , lab fees, this should have been explained up front along with consult fee that should have been paid or at least told to me on the day of service not after my surgery when they could not over change me because I contacted and involved my insurance company. Just another way of trying to get money out of it. SAD, you would think the doctor and the associate group would care more for their patients NOT just about money! read more
