If i could give NO stars I would..
I've suffered from eczema for 10+ years. When I came down to Florida, it seemed the warm weather exacerbated my eczema 200x. Anyways, I started going to a dermatologist when I was like 22-23 and after countless times trying different meds, and nothing working, I found Dupixent. It has honestly been a miracle!!! So before I found Dupixent, I get charged $250 to get a biopsy done to see if what I have is (what I thought it was at the time) psoriasis (my insurance doesnt cover this dermatologist). I was planning on starting Humira. Turns out I have eczema. So I find out about Dupixent and go into the office to start the process to start this medication. They took pictures, write up their paperwork. I get charged $70 for the office visit. Then my insurance approves me after a week. I take my 1st loading dose on October 26th, 2018 and my skin starts to drastically improve. 3 months goes by and I have to go back to my derm so she can see my skin and, after bloodwork is done, refill my prescription. I get charged $70 for the office visit. 3 months goes by again and I have to go back. She says "You should just get your bloodwork done before you come so I can fill your prescription as soon as you come in here." Not a bad idea. So I go to pay for my office visit ($70).... NOPE!!!! $113 and change. My mouth dropped open. I asked why so much? One of the nurses tells me it was a biologic visit, so thats why I was charged more. A biologic visit? I wasnt given any medication, the derm just looked at my skin and told me to get blood work done. The last two times I was charged $70 for the same exact thing. She says "oh well someone must have entered it into the system wrong." Whatever, so I paid them. The very next day, I woke up early so I could go get my bloodwork done and make it to work on time. Now, mind you, the last injection I gave myself was on April 15th. It's now April 30th. I get my blood work done on Tuesday and it arrives at my derms office on Friday. I called my pharmacy at the end of the day on Friday and they hadnt received my refills. No big deal, they got it at the end of the day on a Friday, I'll call Monday. I call at the end of the day on Monday and still no refills. Tuesday? Nope, no refills. So on May 8th I called at 8am and explained the situation to the woman at the front desk of my derms office. Called again after calling my pharmacy at 1140am (just so I could catch them before they went to lunch) still nothing. I called a 3rd time around 3pm and they said they would have a nurse call me back; they said the dr was out the previous day and they got really busy (yea, but you werent busy enough to not go to lunch and it takes 10 seconds to fax something). I get called back around 350. It was the nurse saying she was faxing over my refills now. So I call my pharmacy an hour after the nurse said she faxed the refill. The pharmacist said it can take up to 2 hours for refills to appear in the system, they literally get 100s of refills every hour. So I call back 3 hours after the nurse told me she faxed it and they still dont have it. It wouldnt have mattered if I had my bloodwork done before I got to my derms office, its been almost a week with them having my bloodwork and NOTHING IS BEING DONE!!!!!!!
Guys, I have been seeing this dermatologist for close to 10 years. I have NEVER been treated this way. I am beyond frustrated and so angry. I am switching dermatologists. Why is it so hard to send a fax? You all make sure you go to lunch, but you cant take 10 seconds out of your day to fax over my bloodwork so I can get the medication I need? I called them 3 times on May 8th and still nothing was done. This is absolutely the worst feeling in the world. I am LIVID!!!!!!!!!
So I get a phone call.. Its the manager/supervisor at WEderm telling me he had a months supply for me, but I had to come in and pick it up. Really? I'm thankful for that guy, whoever he was, but honestly this whole practice is a joke! He was probably the only one who even attempted to make this situation a little bit better. You guys just lost my business for good!!!!! read more
