Complaint / Review
Athens Pulmonary and Allergy
Dr. Bhat stated price for office vist the double price afterward without telling me

I called the Doctors office and made a appointment to review my case.

I explained in advance I had no job or insurance and needed the exact cost of the visit.

I was told $59.00 and paid it at the time of visit.

Again got the PA. And asked for the DOCTOR, which is what I paid for.

A month later I was sent a bill for another $59.00 I called the office.

I was told the extra charge was they spent to much time on my visit.

No test, medicine nothing, they are charging me for the extra time I waited on the DOCTOR.

When I told the person they were not getting any extra for this they said they would do me a favor and only charge me half and write off the other half.

Or they would send me to collections over it.

I say if the meter was running they should have let me know and it be my choice if I wanted to spend money I don't have on the Doctors extra time.

Becareful if you have to deal with these underhanded people.

It' Doctors like these that makes me glad that they won't be able to do this to people once the new laws kick in.
