Eric, the PA, took his time to educate me about the circulatory system, why veins need to be treated, and the repercussions of not treating them long term. The ultrasound tech was a pleasure to talk to, and the ma was very friendly as well. Speaking to them made me realize how much info was missing from the previous practice I went to. This should be the standard for all medical practices. I live in buckeye and made the drive out here, and it was worth it. Excited to continue my treatments here Initial call over the phone went well so far. The instructions that the scheduler gave me for what to do before the initial consultation was more thorough than the other vascular surgeon's place I went to in peoria. I asked if previous medical records from there need to be faxed over but they said no. Crossing my fingers that everything goes well!

The coordinator proceeded to tell me I was calling the wrong area and that every time I leave a message she has to forward my call (huffing and puffing). I proceeded to TRY and ask her what number I should be dialing on the IVR - before I could, instead, she just ignored me and transferred my call. I was unsuccessful in reaching my person I needed, so I called her back to let her know that if she tells patients they are directing their calls to the wrong, area she should also provide them with a solution ex: tell them where to dial and that she was extremely rude. She then said, "your agent is ready do you want me to transfer you now?" I said "I'd like you to not be rude and then transfer me nicely!" She then said "oh, sweetie, I hope you have an amazing day!" In a condescending tone, transferred me with no apology, and my agent I needed was not available. "Great staff?" Not the plastic surgeon coordinator!

I had an umbilical hernia mesh procedure done here at the recommendation of my primary doctor. At…read morefirst I was very impressed with their communication prior to the appointment. I filled out the pre surgery paperwork, noting that I was allergic to OxyContin, Percocet and any other opioid. Not because I have an addiction issue, but because I am actually allergic to them. Like deathly allergic. I am also allergic to penicillin. I appreciate that they were also very transparent about the co-pay costs ahead of time. When I got there first thing in the morning the they quickly ran through the paperwork with me and I advised them that they didn't have my allergies listed. They corrected that and gave me a wristband noting them. A very nice girl then whisked me back to pre-op noting my wrist band and asking me to verify what my allergies were. When she put me on a gurney and gave me a warm blanket I noticed it had some gummy residue substance on it which caused me to raise my eyebrows. After that the anesthesiologist came in and gave me a rundown on what he was going to do which was reassuring. Then I met Dr Damore who barely looked at me while he gave me a rundown on what he was going to do during the procedure, and then in front of the nurse told me that he would make sure to prescribe me a minor opioid (I forget the specific brand) afterward to help with the pain. I told him that was a hard negative, holding up my wristband and saying I had already advised them at least twice that I couldn't take them. He finally looked up at me and said "Oh, well then alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen every few hours for it." At that point I almost walked out but I was there so I said screw it, let's do this. The surgery went well. The day after my surgery I got a call from my pharmacy advising me that my (I'm deathly allergic to it) pain medication was all ready to be picked up. To say this troubles me is an understatement.

I hadn't had an endoscopy before and was very anxious prior to my Monday appointment. I was advised that it was beneficial to have it done at the same time as my colonoscopy screening. At the surgery center, they flowed seamlessly. Organized and timely. Dr. Anita Spiess and her team were outstanding! The front desk lady, my pre RN Jeff, Intra op RN MJ, anesthesiologist, Jody, IV specialist Joanne and post op nurses Cedar and Colleen were all kind and professional. They answered every question with good bedside manners. I'm still waiting to hear from billing, but if I ever need these procedures again (hopefully not for a while!), I wouldn't hesitate to come back. I highly recommend this team!

I just wanted update my review, I added 1 stars as I spoke with Shayna Epstein their Business…read moreOffice Coordinator who was fantastic. She helped inform me of the various bills I could expect and helped me move the charges to cash pay and setup a payment plan. I don't know if my expectations are reasonable but an initial bill of $14k for about an hour of service(there was also lab work) seems outrageous to me but maybe this is just the norm? Also, the bill came down considerably when they negotiated with the insurance company and then moving to cash pay(thanks to Shayna) brought it down more. I guess I expected when I provided my insurance information weeks ahead of time they would have let me know what to expect, that is I would be responsible for 100% of the charges and to share the bill I could expect...

Do you want to enter all your info into their patient portal and never hear back? If so, Arizona Advanced Surgery is the place for you.

The woman I spoke to was in a remote call center and could barely understand English. She said none of my info was in their system, so I had to give it all over again. I had to spell half the words because she didn't understand me. After thirty minutes she finally took my info and said she'd email the office so they could call to schedule me. Oh, and when I asked if she worked in the doctor's office, she said no -- she was remote. So my sensitive health information was just handed off to a random overseas call center. Thats what they think of their clients.
