| - When I started seeing Dr. Nemanic I had high hopes.
He was sure he could fix me, he said he accepted my insurance, he seemed nice, and I trusted him.
Trust is a pretty important thing when it comes to patient and medical provider relations.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep this trust in him.
I saw him multiple times a week for a series of weeks, and saw no improment what so ever.
That does not go to say that he is necessarily to blame for this. I've never received any benefit from any Chriopractor I've ever seen. I hoped he however would be able to help me on account of his marvelous Yelp reviews, and his sureness he could help.
I stopped seeing him a few months back after I didn't quite notice any improvement from one treatment to the next/any improment over the course of seeing him.
Even though I didn't see any improvement, I kept coming back with hope that I would soon "stick" with my adjustments.
The reason I stopped seeing him wasn't even because I didn't see improement but instead because he insulted me to my face.
During one session I asked him why I wasn't able to have a specific point on my back pop ever, by anyone.
He then told me I tend to lock up when I'm being adjusted, and proceeded to ask me if I was a control freak. As I said "uhh", before giving me a chance to even answer, he smiled and said "you're a control freak".
This really left an awful taste in my mouth. Rather than suggesting ways I could relax, or telling me to try something, he flat out called me a control freak, and pinned it as the reason I wasn't able to be fully adjusted.
I have severe anxiety problems, and well, I was in pain... Naturally wouldn't one subconsciously lock up when a man twice your size is moving bits of your body around and it hurts? I wasn't knowingly doing this, it was entirely involutary.
Whether or not I am a control freak is not what is in question here, it's the fact that rather than giving medical advice or offering help, he insulted me. Neither me or insurance, were paying him for his opinion on my personality type. We were paying him for his medical services, which after months I recieved zero benefit from.
But wait, there's more.
I guess my insurance was barely paying him at all, and why's that?
When I asked him whether or not my insurance plan was in network with him, he told me it was. And I trusted him. Why? Because why would anyone question it any further?
Today I got a call from his office today notifying me that I had an outstanding balance. After asking why I was told because he wasn't actually in network for ME and that every plan was different.
Hmm, well wouldn't that have been nice to know at the start of seeing him? Because honestly, had I known, I would have NEVER seen him in the first place.
I am a student. I do not have the kind of money to spend on multiple Chiropractic appointments a week, that is unless my insurance company is covering me.
This bugs me, but what really bugs me is that fact that this could have been caught after the first appointmentm, if he was billing my appointments as they happened. He could have told me, after one visit, that he wasn't covered under my insurance's co-pay.
Instead, over the course of seeing him, he insulted me, left me feeling no better, and also left me with a couple hundred dollar tab that wouldn't exist if he just checked if he was in network for me BEFORE my first visit.
He puts a whole new meaning to "adding insult to injury".
