| - I have read the reviews and am in agreement with most of them. I have been having knee pain for a couple of years. Dr. Yee was recommended by my primary care doctor. I was put in a room by Joy (very friendly). Xrays were taken. Dr. Yee walks in and said I needed a knee replacement. He did NOT examine my knee. He said I could have an injection and then walked out. His physician assistant Brittany walked in. She looked at my knee but did not do any range of motion, did not ask me to walk. No type of exam. She said it was swollen. The assistant then moved me into another room for the injection. Brittany then placed the ultrasound wand on my knee without any conducting gel, then took off the wand and injected my knee. I told her that I have stage 3 chronic kidney disease but she still gave me a prescription for voltarin gel (no nsaids like motrin should be given for people with chronic kidney disease). She told me to come back in 4-6 weeks for another injection. I said to her-i thought I needed a knee replacement and she said we will see when you come back in.
I am a nurse. Have been for 25 years. I have never been to a visit like this. I got no explanation as to what type of knee replacement was to be done, what type of artificial joint was gonna be used, etc. Worst of all, I got charged for an ultrasound for $379, office visit of $316, an echo guide for needle injection $376, large joint injection $220, an xray $89 and injected medication $35. All total I spent $1418 for a 6-7 minute visit. I called my insurance company and told them not to pay for part of the visit. I would pay fo the medication and the xray because i did have those. My insurance company is currently investigating.
I am sure Dr. Yee is an excellent, qualified surgeon but the office visit was terrible. I truly felt like I was just another number. I am currently looking for another doctor. SOMEONE who TALKS to their patients. And for the amount of money that was spent, I would have expected the doctor to at least explain something to me.
I feel lucky because I have a medical background. I feel very sorry for a person that goes for a visit because you will not get an explanation as to what your problem is.
The crazy part - I got a copy of the visit and it was 2 pages long. This is a lie because of the above stuff I mentioned above. They must have copied info from someone else because it certainly was not my exam - because I never got one.
