Don't go to this practice! Once you are a patient it is impossible to actually get an appt unless it's weeks to months in advance, so if you think you'll see your doctor when you're actually sick, it won't happen.
Let me start by saying I have been a patient of Dr. Varveris for at least 10 years and while she has been a good doctor to me (when I can get in to see her), I am super disappointed with this practice.
I recently scheduled to have a physical because I haven't been seen by Dr. Varveris for a long time. When I showed up for my appointment whoever scheduled it when I had called, had scheduled it for the wrong person with a similar name. I saw the doctor, she examined me, we discussed my chronic hypothyroidism and celiac disease and some itching I was having in my ears. She wrote for labs, refilled my prescriptions and that was that.
When my insurance was billed, my appt was billed as a sick visit (which cost me more as a physical is covered at 100%). I called billing and was told since we discussed my chronic health issues it's not a physical and that they have a patient form that states that ( which I was not offered, nor ever saw) which is absurd. I then called the office manager and expressed my concerns that I wasn't informed by the doctor or staff that discussing any other issues changed my appt from a physical to an office visit. The office manager said a physical is just a physical and you can't discuss anything else with the doctor or it's not a physical. I questioned how can it be a physical if you can't discuss your chronic, known health issues, and if it is the case then as a patient I should be informed of that prior to the service being provided as I would've chosen not to discuss those matters with the doctor at that time. Which she basically told me that she couldn't believe that I would see the doctor and not discuss my health, and treated me like I was an idiot.
The bottom line is this, You schedule for a physical, they change it to an office visit without informing you and then somehow my physical that is covered at 100% now costs me $120 and that's my fault according to their office manager. Not to mention I can never get in to see Dr. Varveris when I'm actually sick! read more
