Claudia Johnson (provider)…read moreseemed knowledgeable for the most part, when i went for a simple annual wellness check, but referred me for further tests, which proved both unnecessary and expensive. I am a healthy male by objective standards. Blood pressure and weight in the healthy range. On NO heart, weight or blood pressure medications. My real issue was being required to provide all my insurance information in advance before the appointment... sending digital images of my cards, and then receiving a $1,273 out of pocket charge bill, including more than $500 for an initial office visit charge. A ~ $75 X-ray charge seemed reasonable though for a toe that I had stubbed and seemed to be slow and healing. I declined the referral for physical therapy on the toe. SMH. I called the office to discuss the exorbitant bill. And explained that I thought medicare would cover almost everything in it. They acted like they didn't know.I said I would be following up with medicare myself and expected they would be doing the same. Called back a month later and found out they'd dropped the ball again.And nothing had been done to confirm the amounts that medicare allowed. They acted like they didn't know I had insurance, and Medicare coverage. Of course.I got the run around saying it was the claims department fault, not billing department's fault. I reminded "Casey" that this reflects negatively on the doctor. I asked who should be held accountable, and she didn't like the question or the way she was being talked to so she hung up on me.

Everyone I encountered from the front desk staff, my pre-op care, the surgery team and my post op care was great. I can't say enough about how professional, caring and attentive everyone was. And the follow-up care with regards to questions I had was prompt and very thorough. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Burnikel and the entire Steadman-Hawkins team for anyone in need of hip replacement.

Since dr Burnikel left and my post op was with NP Whitney Sewell, service was terrible. First she…read moresays my leg swelling after 3 months was probably post op swelling, then sends me for ultrasound to check for blood clots which was negative. I wrote on my chart to see if she could tell me something to take for the swelling , she then tells me she doesn't think it was surgery related and go see someone else. If you don't care about your patients or don't know what you are doing, you need to find another line of work. I am going to report her to Prisma home office and also going to check in other places for medical malfeasance. She needs to get more training or another career.
