| - They took out my IUD successfully and that's the only positive thing I have to say about this place.
If you have money to waste, definitely go here. It's a racket.
I was upfront and very vocal about being a self-paying patient. I asked the cost and the necessity of each lab taken. Answer? "It will give us a better picture of your health and the cost isn't much."
Want to know that lab bill I received in the mail? $850. Eight HUNDRED and fifty DOLLARS for blood work. That's on top of the office visit of $150.
But that, my friend, wasn't the tipping point. I've had my annual exam (by Celeste Tunnel, PA who is at this clinic), everything is fine. After my IUD was removed (I hated it - not their fault) she prescribed birth control. I requested that I be put on Loestrin 24 because that's what I used to use. When I got to the pharmacy, she'd prescribed me Gildess (which BTW has SUPER low ratings on Drugs.com).
But I gave it a shot. It was apparently too low of a dose to stop my periods (and the other ladies on Drugs.com who rated it 4.9 out of 10 for birth control), so I have bled for two weeks straight for FOUR months. Let me tell ya, that's been great for the marriage and sex life. But, I waited like a good patient to see if my body would adjust. It didn't.
So I called and asked to be put on Loestrin like I originally requested. My old gyno would just call in a new Rx when we were searching for a BC that worked.
But not Celeste Tunnel, PA.
She wanted me to come back in for a consult...for another office fee of $150. And they wanted to do blood work again!!!
Insult to injury: When I finally relented to an appointment they were going to make me wait a week for this five minute consult, which would have made me miss my Sunday start. When I asked if there was anything sooner, the lady said "let me check" and never called back.
Great customer service. I'll be switching for sure.
