Dr. Barry Greene
Dishonest business practices

Today I had an appointment with Dr. Greene about having a lap-band procedure performed. After paying $210 for the visit I was informed that my insurance company would not pay for the surgery because Dr. Greene is out of network with my health insurance. I was informed by one of his staff members (Aida or Amy I think) on a previous occasion that the surgery would be covered by my insurance but his office visits would not. This is not to complain about Dr. Greene's ability as a surgeon, just to be clear.
My complaint is that I was lied to and I feel that his staff members had more than sufficient time to inform me of this insurance issue prior to my office visit and prior to taking my $210. I feel that they get you into the office just to try to sell you on paying for the surgery out of pocket.
I hope that anyone considering using Dr. Greene makes damn sure what they are going to be charged for and what their insurance will and will not cover. I got screwed but I hope nobody else makes the same mistake I did.
