5 Stars: Treatment was very well done and Raul is a very friendly guy.
0 Stars: What to be aware of: Early October I received a call from their office saying that there was a pending balance that the insurance did not cover. They said they sent me the statement, but we went over the info in the call and they had my old address, hence why I had not received anything. They corrected the address and sent me again. I got it a week later, and the balance was over $600. Which is a lot more than the quote they gave me, and I would not do it, or would have reached out to insurance first, before deciding. Now that I had the statement, I did contact insurance to try understand why that was a lot more, and if there was a mistake or something. My insurance is good and that much higher value was uncommon. A week and a half later I receive a call from a collector and I now had to pay $200 more. I understand how it works, and that it has been two months, but I wasn’t aware until they called me and we corrected the address so I could get the statement, which I must say again, I only had it for a week and a half now. So, I did not think the extra fee was fair – I had just received the statement and have no problem paying it, I just needed to confirm with my insurance. I decided to call the office to figure things out and see if I could avoid the extra charge. Unfortunately, call with the office lady went south fast, she insisted they had my correct address from the get-go and became unfriendly fast. (I would be frustrated by fine with a polite “I’m sorry there is nothing we can do”) I also asked to speak with Raul, or her supervisor, but they were busy and she told me to go there after working hours… I wonder why would she tell me to go when there is no one there… ( anyways everyone has bad days, right? So I guess that’s ok. I don’t have the sample size to judge, but the office people might and this review may help them be aware of my experience). So, between the lack of empathy in the call, insisting on something wasn’t true, the misleading quote that lead me to do the treatment earlier (here I’m hoping its just an outlier, and they didn’t do on purpose) I felt I had the responsibility to share my story with everyone here so you can carefully and proactively avoid issues like I had with them. That being said, I’m not even going to wait on email back from insurance explaining it, and have decided to pay without escalating it further, but am not going back there nor I would recommend it to anyone since not only its costing me more than 3x what I agreed after following their info, but also as my customer experience was very bad.
