| - I went to the ER here late one night with severe asthma. The lady that checked me in did so quickly and efficiently and I was shown to an exam room.
The doctor was Aaron Lovinger - rather ironic last name as he is truly the most unloving doc I've ever met. What an ATTITUDE! Go check him out at doctor review sites. . .I'm not alone in my opinion. He walked in, looked at the paperwork and told me I would need blood tests and a chest x-ray. I informed him that I'd had surgery right there in the hospital 6 days earlier and had those same tests. He snidely told me I needed them again. I told him to use the ones I'd had done a few days earlier and reminded him that I couldn't breathe and he got quite nasty and refused, demanding i have the tests done again. I promptly left. The whole interaction took about 5 minutes at the most.
Fast forward: got a bill from the hospital for $1,150 for emergency services. I called to dispute the bill, they promised an "audit," and guess who won? Of course, Southern Hills did and are demanding the money or it's off to collections I go.
To make matters worse, I also got a bill from the oh-so-snotty Dr. Lovinger for $481. FOR DOING NOTHING. What other gig can you get where you make $481 for 5 minutes of merely speaking to someone in a total of maybe 4 or 5 sentences while abusing them in the process? That's more than $96 a minute. Cool, huh? Great con, Southern Hills.
I have never, in all my life, seen such a scam. Never dealt with such dishonesty. Nor have I EVER been so disrespected by a physician.
Ah, well, I've only begun to fight this. See you in court, Southern Hills.
