. I called the office (which was very hard to get in touch with) a few times to ask what the cost of a visit would be. When I finally got someone to answer the phone they almost made me faint when they said it was ********************** 300 for another Doctor. I said I'd have to think about it, because the price was so insane. I saved up the money and made my appt with Dr. **** My appt was booked months out, and I hoped that I was making the right decision to spend that much, when I can go to a holistic doc locally for 200. Dr. *** seemed very knowledgeable on my issue, so I went ahead. Had my appt, Dr. *** was nice. My appt felt short for that amount, but whatever. I didnt walk away with any great info, but she said she wanted to do a bunch of tests, which I expected. What I did not expect is the INSANE markup on the tests, but I always shop for my own as I am self pay, and called the office back to clarify that I don't have the money for thousands of dollars of tests and multiple repeat visits. They said I could shop for my own. I ended up cutting the list down to the most important tests, and found then for about half price and ordered them myself on Walk-in lab and canary club. Yesterday, I got my credit card bill and Centrespring charged FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS on my card. I called the office, because there surely had to be a mistake. Was told "1500 is what Dr. *** charges for a first visit" I explained that I would have NEVER made an appt for 1500, and was told not once, but TWICE that it is 600. The office just kept repeating the same story and I told them that I am willing to pay the 600 that I was quoted, but I'm not paying 900 more because THEY made a mistake on their end. I called my credit card and reported it. The receptionist then informed me that they'll send me to collections. After the fact, I look at YELP and there are MULTIPLE cases of this. I should have looked sooner.
