I want to share my frustrating experience with Columbia Oral and Facial Surgery Center. While the…read moredoctors are good, my experience with the office has been disappointing. I'm okay with paying in advance and understand that initial estimates may be off, but I'm now owed over $1,700--a sum I've been waiting on for months. I can appreciate that estimates might not always be accurate, but this delay has gone on for too long. Initially, the office informed me that they were waiting for my insurance claim to process. After several months without updates, I reached out to my insurance company, only to find out they approved and issued payment back in July, just a few days after my son's surgery. My insurance confirmed my out-of-pocket responsibility and provided an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to support this. After my insurance company intervened and conducted an investigation, they acknowledged our overpayment, but getting the refund back has turned into a frustrating, never-ending battle. Despite acknowledging the amount owed, the office continues to delay my refund, offering little clarity on the situation. When I contacted the front desk, I learned that checks are handled by their Human Resources department, which only adds to the confusion. My wife and I have been patiently waiting and have called several times just to find out the status of our refund, but the receptionist often doesn't answer when she recognizes our number. We even visited the office in person, only to be told to wait another 2-3 weeks for HR to process the refund. Now, after patiently waiting another 3 weeks, we are still left in the dark. Yesterday, I called the office again and was met with surprise at my inquiry. The front desk claimed I should receive my check this week but couldn't provide any information about when the check was issued, sent, or anything related to my refund. When I asked for the name of the HR contact responsible for processing the refund, I received a name but no clear answers. I requested a callback with an update, and the receptionist assured me I would hear back. Yet here I am, still waiting. I tried calling again for an update, but no one is answering or returning my voicemail messages. This has been a frustrating experience, and I hope to find a resolution soon. If anyone has faced a similar situation or has advice, please share! #CustomerService #Frustrated #HealthCareExperience

I'm a little late at 30 years old to have them…read moreextracted but I've never had any problems or pains with my wisdom teeth so I've never thought about taking them out until I started feeling some irritation behind one of my bottom molars and noticed a wisdom tooth that had emerged. The staff were extremely friendly and were very welcoming. Dr. Wu himself was very honest, knowledgeable and informative on what needed to be done, what the process was going to be like, post-operation procedures and generally just made me feel more comfortable about the whole thing because let's be honest, everyone feels nervous about getting their wisdom teeth removed because of all the horror stories. The whole operation itself felt super quick and easy. I mean I was knocked out the whole time because of the sedation but the whole thing felt like it took 15-20 minutes. And the good thing afterwards? I felt no pain at all. Throughout the next few days of recovery I was in no pain whatsoever. The only negative effect was the obvious swelling and soft diet you'll have to be on for a couple of days. If you need a good oral surgeon I would definitely recommend Dr. Wu!

If you're looking for someone that will be honest, straight to the point, and give you a quick and painless procedure, then Dr. Muul is your guy! I had all my wisdom teeth removed years ago. I was worried, and it was over before I knew it started. Since then, I've gone back twice for growths on my gums. For my most recent visit, the growth was much bigger than before and I really thought it was going to be a terrible procedure. Dr. Muul explained everything that was going to happen. He could tell that I was nervous and said he was going to 'test' the novocaine. But, literally 2 minutes later, it was all done. He gave me an Rx for a one week supply of pain medication, but it was done so well, that I hardly felt a thing even when the novocaine wore off and the days afterward. I never had any complications at all and it healed as if nothing had ever been there. When I returned for a final check-up and care instructions, at my request, he also looked at my x-rays from a new dentist I had gone to and gave me a second opinion on the need for a nightguard. Although he does sell nightguards, he said my dentist should be able to do it, but if they could not, he would be able to help. I strongly endorse Dr. Muul!

Dr. Muul had no bedside manner...he wasn't friendly...or personable and certainly didn't do anything to alleviate my fears or nervousness. He just began discussing my X-ray. I will say that it was a relatively painless procedure(so thumbs up for that) but he didn't take note to the fact that my breathing was labored, my chest was heaving and I was stiff as a board with fear because I had no idea what was happening. I began crying the second I confirmed that he was done and he told me to have a good day without hardly glancing in my direction because he was already talking to the assistant about the next patient. I was asked to fill out a comment card and didn't feel very comfortable actually writing all of this but realize that I should let people know that if they are the types(like myself) who need a bit of kindness and some hand holding when it relates to the dentist/dental procedures...this is probably not the office for you. Are they professional...yes...very! Did I feel the doctor was competent...absolutely...he did a good job and I didn't feel pain at all. The good and the bad...I felt I should share.

When I arrived for my consultation, I sat in the lobby for 10 minutes and was treated to a front row seat of the front desk staff and the doctor gossiping about the patient who just left. The doctor then spent the first 10 minutes of my consultation ranting and complaining about his day, the dentists who refer patients to him, and his patients. I was pleased once the conversation finally became about my visit. He seemed extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail. I trusted his opinion and was willing to overlook the negatives I had experienced up to that point. I was told to call back when I had received my explanation of benefits from my insurance company to schedule the procedures I needed. I received the information from my insurance company and called. I did not understand the coding involved and was told "the first 2 procedures will be covered but we need to submit additional information for the 3rd". I scheduled my first two procedures and was told they would take care of the rest in the mean time. After missing and rescheduling my first appointment (which was due to a medical condition, but I was still charged $75), I received a voicemail to confirm my next appointment a few days beforehand. I did not have a chance to call back that day before they closed due to the fact that their office closes before I get off of work. Today I received and outright NASTY toned voicemail stating "I definitely needed to call them back to confirm". Funny enough, when I checked my mail when I got home today, I received a letter from my insurance company that clearly explained that NONE of the procedures would be covered. After a quick phone call to the insurance company, I learned that they had forwarded the denial to this office WEEKS ago. I was never informed of this, so I assume they expected me to just show up and pay. I went ahead a left a nasty voicemail of my own to let them know I wouldn't be back.

Then she starts going on about how her coworker who had been there since like 7:00 am that he shouldn't have a break. She said he was lazy and that she never takes breaks because she's so computed to her job. Then the doctor comes in Dr.park or whoever the male doctor is there.

I call and try to get my carats for my new dentist the receptionist tells me she will send them. I said great can you just send my records with it. She tells me "that violates HIPPA" I asked her why that is and what she thinks the law is with hippa she doesn't give me an answer. For anyone who doesn't know it protects me from anyone else who isn't me from getting my records and prevents them from talking about my records with anyone who isn't me. But I am entitled to my records. It would make sense if they had to verify who I was but even so you sent records to me and didn't verify so I could've been anyone so you could've definitely violated HIPPA if I was a stranger anyway which makes no sense to me.
