My son had a sore throat when I returned home from work, upon examining with a flashlight, it was very red indicating possible strep. I chose to take him to First Choice Emergency since they were so close, and I have to many other Drs such as this for my kids, and never paid more than $25.00 (the one near Academy at Parker and the Tollway, they are awesome.
I went to First Choice due to convenience thinking that all Dr's billed the same, when I got in there I was told that there was only a $100.00 co-pay. However, my son got right in we had no wait, they swabbed his throat, the 5 minute test was negative, but the Dr came out and gave me the speech that we should get a shot (even though he was negative???), when I questioned them about the charge, they indicated they did not know what the charges would be, I denied the shot, can you even imagine what the bill would have been if I told them to do the shot???
They are a scam!!! Dont go there!!!
