Do NOT go to this doctor. I went once for a pain management consultation and he was sooooo arrogant. Didn’t ask me how I felt or what was my problem. Had a junior associate look me over and then came in later to lecture me on how things are done there and all his rules and regulations.
Here is the kicker. I didn’t want to return so I told the nurse not to schedule me. She apparently didn’t listen and scheduled me twice more without asking. I only found out when they called to remind me a few days before each visit (which they scheduled, not me!). I finally told the office manager/​head nurse: Do NOT schedule me! I will not come back!
So I thought that would be the last of it. Almost a year later, I get a bill from his office wanting me to pay co-​pays for 4 different visits… which never happened! The bill had dates listed, treatments given, including pharmaceuticals used. WHAT??? I called their office and was directed to billing (Barnes) and they said sorry, they would take care of it. Then I called my insurance company — they had been billed for about $ 1600 for the bogus visits! But they seemed oddly unconcerned as well only to thank me and tell me that they just assume that those bills are correct and to pay them.
Isn’t this fraudulent and illegal? I tried calling BBB and the organiziation that monitors doctors in the area and both would not take my complaint — why, I don’t understand. So this guy gets away with this scott free. How many other insurance companies has he bilked with phony charges?
