A few days later I received a notice of a bill for the Botox which was paid for at the time of the visit. I had to call back 3 times to get this resolved. Then I received an explanation of benefits from my insurance for the Annual Exam. I have an Dermatology visit every year because I have had skin cancer and it has ALWAYS been covered. This year the EOB said I owed $175. I called Blue Cross to explain it was an annual visit and they indicated the office did not bill it that way. When I called the billing department for the office they said they are a specialty office and don't bill for annual visits, they bill as office visit and because I had one area frozen they considered that a procedure. Absolutely insane, I have areas burned off at EVERY annual visit and it is all covered, it is a skin check, at a dermatologist....and I have NEVER BEEN BILLED because annual visits are covered. But they keep coming back with lame excuses that they are a specialty doctor, yeah a dermatologist, and they don't file for annual visit. Really the worst interaction I have had with an office in a very long time. I belong to the North Brunswick Newcomers Club committee with over 500 members and I can guarantee you I will be mentioning this business at our monthly meetings and it won't be to frequent this business it will be to avoid it at all cost. What a scam.

I had purchased several Groupons for different things as self-care time, and I am so glad I did. The office location is on the second floor of the building and there is just one elevator. Each time I've been, it hasn't been crowded so I've never felt unsafe or too close to any strangers. The office itself is very clean as well with hand sanitizer easily available everywhere. Before you can have any procedures, you have to sign a number of waivers and read over alot of information about each one. The staff gives you an ipad with everything on it so you're not wasting any paper and everything is emailed to you as well so you have a copy. I had a microdermabrasion first which was such an interesting procedure. I've never had one before so I was so appreciative that Sierra explained everything to me step by step. Sierra made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The products she used on my face felt great, and my face looked AMAZING afterwards! She gave me great recommendations for taking care of my skin moving forward. My next visit was for a teeth whitening. I was honestly a bit skeptical going in- there are all those products that promise beautiful teeth and have no results. I was so wrong! For this one, you are on the table with this crazy thing keeping your mouth open. There are several products that go on your teeth that actually didn't taste bad, and then you get little sunglasses to protect your eyes and sit under this extremely bright light. I should mention that I was supposed to have this done when I had my facial, but Sierra noticed a cut on my lip that would have burned like crazy had I gone ahead that day, so I came back for this one. Thank goodness for her catching that- it seriously would have buuuuuuuurned! So all is well, and my teeth look so great! I am beyond happy with my experience. Definitely ask for Sierra- she is the BEST and so nice!

I know their temporary status because they shared that tidbit while disconnecting from a personal call while checking me in. I was checked in and quickly called back only to wait forty minutes in a very cold. When Dr. Appel entered the exam room, he noted the cold temperature. He shared the AC may have been left on due to the weirdly high temperatures (75° and up) we had at the end of December. He explained it and quickly left to resolve it. Outside of the waiting time (which seems to be acceptable - because dermatologists are in such high demand), this was a great interaction with Dr. Appel. The one thing I appreciated during the pandemic was timing improvement; medical offices did not double book. They gave more time between patients. People checked in from their cars and went into their appointments. I had to drive 45 minutes for this appointment. I had to take sick leave and leave early for this initial appointment. After waiting, forty-five minutes past my scheduled appointment time. As it would have taken another 45 minutes to get back to work. Almost three hours would have been wasted. I do appreciate Dr. Appel's knowledge and rapport. I just wish patient time also valued.

I have been a patient of Dr. Treece for almost 2 1/2 years now…read more I first visited Dr. Treece at the suggestion of a friend in my neighborhood who used to work with her until her retirement. I think if you ask her, Dr. Treece might tell you that my case was one of the most difficult she has ever been involved with. I had been suffering with terrible vision that was barely sufficient for a driver's license, even with eye glasses, for over 20 years after having multiple PRK and LASIK procedures that ruined my vision rather than correct it. Those procedures left my corneas in such bad shape that glasses and conventional contact lenses could not provide adequate vision. The poor vision caused difficulties in driving, watching TV and movies, and enjoying life in general. I had long ago given up hope of ever being able to see well again. Dr. Treece recommended and prescribed scleral contacts lenses for me . The successful outcome of these types of lenses depends on a precise fit, and as she will tell you up front they may require several fittings for them to provide the optimal performance. That was the the way it was in my case. And I'm glad that she is determined to get her patients the best vision possible. When I say that Dr. Treece has made a dramatic improvement in my quality of life I'm not exaggerating. If you or anyone you know has been suffering with sub-par vision after vision correction surgery, or for any other reason for that matter, and have been told there is little that can be done about it I suggest you schedule an appointment with Dr. Treece at Cape Fear Eye Institute. I am very thankful for the eye care I have received from Dr. Treece and for my neighbor who presented my situation to her for her opinion.

If late, you will get scolded like a child but it is ok for them to leave you waiting. The Tens and Heat Therapy area is communal which I do not like. The staff do not warn you when approaching you to remove pads. Instead just remove the heat pads and ripe of the tens pad.

I was transferred to Jane who identified herself as the front desk person. I asked about the number of medical staff in the practice, and how referrals are handled. Jane wasn't friendly and treated me as if she didn't understand why I would be asking questions about the practice. I asked to schedule an appointment, and Jane told me someone would call me on Monday (it was Friday) to schedule an appointment. I asked if I could make an appointment right then, and she said, "No." I never received a call from CIM. Based on other reviews found on Yelp, and my experience with CIM, I suggest finding another more reliable medical practice.

Unsafe Medical Advice and Lack of Compassion for Senior Care…read more I am writing this to caution other caregivers managing complex medical needs for senior parents. My mother was a patient at this practice, and the experience was deeply concerning. The Medical Advice: When I sought guidance with Jennifer Miller on how to safely wean my mother off a psychiatric medication (Cymbalta) that was causing extreme issues, the provider's advice was to stop it abruptly ("cold-turkey"). I was told to simply "let her go through withdrawals" and take her to the ER for an IV if she began vomiting or became dehydrated. As an advocate for my senior mother, I knew this was unsafe and unacceptable advice. My request to use a slow, compounded tapering method was completely ignored. The Outcome: I had to seek outside specialist care to find a safe path forward. After finding a new care team that supported the slow, compounded taper I had researched, my mother is doing significantly better. The extreme "crash and burn" cycles she was experiencing have stopped, and she is much more alert and present than she has been in months. The Office Environment: The lack of professionalism from Jennifer Miller's nurse was also a major issue. While trying to resolve a critical prescription delay for a medication my mother needs to eat (due to an esophageal condition), I was met with sarcasm and told, "We have other patients." My private concerns were repeated within earshot of others in the office, which was completely unprofessional and dismissive. Final Thought: If you have a loved one with sensitive or complex needs, please be your own advocate. We have moved to a new primary care physician and a psychiatrist who actually listen. My mother is finally in safe hands, no thanks to this practice.
