I am reporting WATER'S EDGE DERMATOLOGY because the doctor was dishonest with me and racked up charges without telling me or explaining when she knew I had lost my job! Talk about unfair and nasty. I'm a single mother and the treatments never cost over $50 something all the times I had gone to the office up to this time.
They argue that they didn't know about my insurance, however, when a procedure is done over what the office visit costs a patient should be told about the separate procedures. Had I been told this, I would have been able to check with my insurance company and not receive two huge bills!
To top the whole thing off, I just found out that she sent in biopsy samples. Not one, but three and charged for each one individually! I have over $500 in bills and when I called about them, I was told that I had three months to pay because they don't do payment plans. If it took me longer than three months I'd have to find a credit card or they would turn me into a collection agency. I did receive a call today and they have so graciously decided that I can continue with monthly payments. How nice.
The company wouldn't even acknowledge that the doctor took advantage of me. I was very upset and still feel that I was taken advantage of by a doctor/nurse practioner to get as much money out of me before I had to move away because I lost my job.in this economy and because I told her that I didn't have a job, the company would have made a small brownine point with me if they would have cut just a bit of the bill for her taking advantage of me. They sure wanted to get rich quick at my expense.
Here's the real kicker... After all the bills and driving an hour away for an $80 prescription, the warts didn't go away! She wanted to send me for another bottle of the expensive meds, guess I should be happy she asked because at least I didn't want that and owe even more money. I moved to another town and took my child for the school physical and discussed the warts. He told us that we could buy a $10 otc liquid that would keep them under control and they'd go away. He has no warts. I have big bills from a money sucking company that lied to me.
I intend to let people know so that this company doesn't keep getting away with this kind of thing. I asked the lady that called me this and she didn't have an answer. What if I were forced to file bankruptcy because I didn't have a job? The doctor would have done all of these things and not received a penny! I don't want to loose my perfect credit scores, but I told them that maybe they shouldn't try to get as much money as possible from unemployed people because it just might backfire. Just don't go to WATER'S EDGE DERMATOLOGY in Florida!
