After the last experience I had with Dr. Bacot in February 2025 I am frankly disgusted.
I was there for a presurgery visit for a foot operation which his physician assistant Bryce recommended based on prior MRI. Bryce told me Dr. Bacot did tons of surgeries like this.
I did the workup, paid for everything, and then went for the presurgery visit to see Dr. Bacot.
I was only actually seen by Chelsea, his assistant who just basically sat in the office and looked at my film. Chelsea is NOT A SURGEON! Dr. Bacot however, merely popped his head around the door and asked me why I was there?! This, the doctor who was scheduled to cut my foot open in a week?
He never even came into the office to look at my film, never touched my foot, only asked me where it hurt, told me to get better shoes and said he could do nothing for me. Completely unprofessional, and surprising.
I had to go to another surgeon after a year in agony as a cripple, who did the very surgery on me that Dr. Bacot was supposed to do.
And to top it off, Comprehensive Orthopedic had the nerve to bill out $500 to the insurance company? And harass me to pay the balance? I absolutely refuse. I am out of pocket for the presurgery workup, my visits to COG office UNDER COG RECOMMENDATIONS, with no positive outcome.
Thank God Dr. Chase took the helm and did a very successful bone spur removal from mid foot and big toe, which was scheduled originally with Dr. Bacot.
I addressed this with the then office manager when I got the first bill. I have had zero response, and now keep getting harassed by COG "billing department" wherever that is. It is not local. I have sent numerous emails, left voicemails but no response. I have asked for COG office manager, and been told that there is no office manager in office.
Bottom line: Be wary of this office's billing practices. Check in detail what you are being billed for. read more
