The office here is highly unprofessional and seems to have all of its financial tidings handled by some sort of automatic finance company; the first time I went here the doctor only charged me $50 for the visit, but within a few weeks I got some letter in the mail saying I owed a balance of over $200, which required multiple phone calls to get resolved. The second time before going I asked them about a quote for a surgical procedure, they told me I needed to come in for a re-examination for the exact same issue I already got examined by him for, despite also having seen a different doctor and being given the same prognosis within the last month.

Over the phone they told me "I would not be charged like the first visit since I am self pay". when I got there, after waiting over a half-hour and having asked what the total charge for services would be prior to seeing the doctor, they told me it would be about $200. way to lose a potential customer.
