He seemed like a very skilled surgeon; however, he works with no insurance companies and expects all non-comestic fees paid upfront. I almost had a severe heart attack when during my simple consultation about having wisdom teeth removed would cost me $700 for just the consultation, then I am told afterwards that the procedure would be over $3,000.
Best of all, the "Business Office Manager" in her designer suit then begins to tell me that they will not complete any insurance claims and "all that stuff" is up to the patient to deal with. I am sure that after I put over 3K on my interest paying credit card to get my wisdom pulled - the one thing I will feel completely capable of doing is dealing with my insurance provider.
What's even funnier about the situation is the receptionist took a xerox of my insurance information and then tells me after the consultation that I need to pay over $500 for the consultation and that the insurance card info is simply just for the file and they do not process any claims.
I have excellent insurance and my dentist recommended Dr.Emery; however, I am in shock about this incident and spoke with my dentist requesting another surgeon.
