The first visit will just with be a physicians assistant. In the new patient documentation they send you, it is explained you may join a membership at $75 in case your administrative fees go over what they are charging regardless of various insurance payouts. Now I understand this from the perspective of economics mostly and only a small understanding of western medicine which seems to be solely driven by insurance fee schedules or what drs get paid for for what they do for procedures which are classified by ICD-10 codes so no mere mortal knows exactly what goods they're really buying. I understand insurance is no longer paying out as it once did in the days of yore. Insurance such as medicare isn't covering medical care the same way it used to and nor are most insurance companies. I also would imagine that as Alzheimer's and other neurological conditions are on the rise due to the heavy metal toxins and aluminum or major immune irritants are used in adjuvants in most vaccines that are short term saving millions of peoples lives but may long term be effecting the constitution of our mental health and our well being at the end stages of life because nearly everything added to our food from crop like glyphosate to preservatives en route to heavy metals everywhere here tend to be neurotoxic. We desperately need preventive medicine to really make a stand against some of these non curable diseases of the brain. However, having 3 Medical Doctors in my family on hand for a plethora of philosophical, political and ethical holiday discussions, we all find it pretty gross this new trend of physicians who use tactics to make money by increasing visits or various tactics to to drive up reimbursements; incentives driven by health insurance companies to reduce their cost end up creating a system of asking patients to go in for much more office visits than necessary in order to bill more or like going to the dentist and your gums look great but they insist on xrays every single time they see you just because insurance will pay for it but their is no indication you need any. How do sick people who worked hard their whole life and are now on Medicare are expected to go back and forth to a doctors office to answer questions by physician assistants. I also have a PA in the family and several friends who are PA and while I understand the trend bc they are 1/3 or 1/4 the cost of a Medical doctor so they get them to do the paperwork and gather intel, however, its still rather sad to see this trend for specialties where a patient is dealing with one of the most difficult and profoundly scary diseases. Here you will be a number not a patient that will be seen and treated for maybe years to come. I would not be inclined to waste my time here. Find a physician that cares about his or her patients and not which insurance they carry. It's beyond sad, it's hilarious and only in this modern day we live in could a physician create such a system to cushion incoming revenue by focusing on office policies instead of attempt to advance the humanity of this really crucial field of medicine. Usually braggadocios medical doctors are the ones not worried about policies but worried about furthering the advancement of their field of medicine and thereby helping the most patients even if it is only by giving them the dignity of their time. This offices constitution is policy and it's stated right their in the paperwork, it resonates a feeling they do not care about you. Look at their website and all the other reviews which show you how their incentives set up a particular behavior. Most Dr. websites will all brag about where they went to school and how much experience they have at what they do. This website talks about their office policies hahahaaaa!!!!! I am quite sure they will not be the type of office to have office personnel whose goal should be to find out if you're in network and help you understand what your insurance covers. They will be the type that will find out how much they will get for you, and then right in their policies explains how they will nickel and dime you. Business wise these guys are clever. Physician wise, well I am not seeing anything regarding history or philosophy of either of the two physicians. After all, what incentive do they have to treat you well when they are ensuring they will get paid for any and every little jot and tittle they can. "I hereby give lifetime authorization for payment of insurance benefits to be made directly to Comprehensive Neurology Specialists and any assisting physicians for services rendered" HAAA!!! Folks, I could not make this up!! thank you but no thank you Mr. Grinch, no one I know will be coming to see you. I wouldn't send my enemy to see you. I gave two stars because, well they made it thru medical school and they deserve at least two stars but ethically well you get it... read more
