Ayo, So let me tell…read morey'all what y'all not gon' do--play me and my wife like we some side characters in our own kid's doctor visit. We took off work. Real jobs. Not imaginary work. We showed up together like responsible grown folks to support our son, who got referred for a tight hip. Nothing major, but still--our child, our business. We walk in ready to be present, and boom--y'all hit us with a crusty little sign on the door talkin' 'bout "only one parent allowed." Excuse me? Since when? Ain't nobody said that when we booked the appointment. Ain't no paperwork. Ain't no email. Ain't no carrier pigeon. Just vibes and disrespect. Tried to talk to somebody in charge, but apparently they were in a meeting, probably discussing how to ruin more families' mornings. The practice manager called us later, and bless his heart, but the damage was done. Let's break this mess down: * Surprise Policy: Y'all really thought it was cute to spring that "one parent only" rule like it was a plot twist. This ain't Grey's Anatomy. Communicate. * Blue Collar Dad Disrespect: Another dad was there too, fresh off a job site, probably still smelling like hard work and sacrifice. Y'all told him to sit his dusty boots in the lobby like he was a stranger. Shame. * Attitude on 1000: The nurse who weighed our kid had her name tag flipped like she was in the witness protection program. She talked to us like we owed her child support. Loud, rude, and built like she been waiting all week to catch an attitude. * Facetime Foolery: Y'all let my wife FaceTime me during the exam like we were on an episode of "Parenting: Long Distance Edition." Then when it was time for the actual diagnosis, y'all took so long to come get me, Dr. Gilpin was out here asking, "Where the daddy at?" like I was lost in Target. * This Ain't New: My sister and her husband got the same treatment when their daughter was dealing with a much more serious issue. So clearly, y'all been on this nonsense for a minute. Let me say this loud for the folks in the back: WE SHOWED UP. We cared. We sacrificed. And y'all treated us like we were inconveniencing you by loving our child. Fix your dusty little policies. Teach your staff how to act like they got some home training. And stop making it harder for parents to do what they supposed to do. We ain't the ones. --Eric & Mary Clark (P.S. Next time, try kindness. It's free.)

I have been asking to talk to the owner about this because this could be cause for a lawsuit or…read moretheir reputation can be tarnished being a fairly new practice and I have lived near here for a long time, but since I cannot get in contact with the owner about this manner I have to write a review. The dentist and the dental hygienists were very nice and professional, HOWEVER, the front office staff was horrible to me insinuating that I was trying to commit insurance fraud which is a FELONY. I have NEVER had anybody accuse me or insinuating anything illegal about me especially since my family and I are quite well known The receptionist and the front office manager (who both should know better if she was good at her job which she's not and should be punished or fired) condescendingly said, "Well here we follow the state law." What is she trying to imply that I don't?! That's insulting and a nasty and unprofessional to say to a patient who is new and you don't know at all. I have a reputation to uphold. Then the office manager continued to be very condescending and nasty to me and said in a suspicious, disrespectful questioning tone, "Is there a reason WHY you don't won't BlueCross Blue Shield being billed as primary?" I was taken aback and very shocked at how disrespected I was. I work for an insurance company and I have a background in management and if I ever treated a customer, patient, client, provider, etc. like this, my boss would have fired me for fear of a lawsuit of a defamation of character or at the very least get written up for abusive or argumentative language because of an office manager and receptionist who do not know how to talk to people. I work everyday where I have to tell callers that my company that I work for has to be billed as primary in order for their medical claims to be paid accordingly, but I speak respectfully and professionally and kindly tell the callers inquiring about their medical claims and how to bill to us and say, "I apologize, but we have to be the primary payers when you bill to us." The office manager, who is blocking me from talking to the owner recently (yes, he may be busy, but I haven't even received a voicemail message from here so here we are). I didn't ask nor wanted any dental coverage from my company that I could not opt out of because I already had dental coverage from Delta Dental Of SC (which I had for YEARS before this current job that I'm not going to have much longer) which I thought I could bill as primary, but the front staff could have been more respectful and addressed me better than insinuating something as serious as Insurance Fraud which is a felony. The front staff is making me question whether or not I want to continue being a patient at this facility because of their unprofessionalism and accusatory language against me and I'm not going to tolerate any disrespect again as a patient who should addressed more respectfully because dental work is not cheap in this country and I am paying a lot of money for a dental service, not for nasty attitudes or behavior all because I had Delta Dental Of SC for years and always had that insurance for years and this job is not permanent for me. I find it interesting the front office quickly to insinuate a felony crime against me over insurance had for years that I thought I could bill as primary. It makes me believe it's my skin complexion (I'm a Black Woman) and I would not surprised.

I guess when you leave a one star review, this response auto generates. Well anyway, I went in for my appointment, the doctor came, never met him before, doesn't bother to introduce himself, just starts the exam. This true with the staff as well. My wife goes to them today, her appointment is at 1:10, it's 2:30 and she has yet to see a doctor. She has to leave to return to work. We won't be coming back.

I was referred to Clermont in Orangeburg; the radiologists were always friendly and professional. The receptionists were not. When I went in 2020, it was unpleasant. It is always complicated and horrible because the insurance company tells me one thing and Clermont wants to charge an exuberant fee. Due to my having a lump which concerned me, they finally let me have the procedure. I called the insurance company afterwards and they informed me due to my situation, I would not have to pay. I went back on 8/29th, and the experience was awful. First, the receptionist did not speak, smile, or anything. Second, she told me I had a balance, and I should not have. Third, my Dr. ordered it due to my situation. And finally, she rudely informed me that I had to pay $291. 91. What kind of deductible is that? Three days prior, I learned another immediate family member had breast cancer. This heightens my fears. She offered no options; appeared cold, callous and uncaring. She told me either pay the almost $300 or reschedule. I asked if mammograms were offered anywhere else and she nastily replied, "The hospital but they cost more" I will NOT return even if I get the money. I don't trust them at this point and I do not want to give these people my business. I informed the main office in Florida and the person I spoke with was supposed to talk to the director and call me back the next day. Early detection is critical; yet it saddens me that Clermont Radiology is oblivious to that, especially the Orangeburg Office. I will research other places to have the mammogram done even if I have to go out of town. I don't recommend Clermont Radiology in Orangeburg to anyone. Now I have used them in Florida and had a pleasant experience. As a matter of fact, since it is a routine test for women my age, I don't ever recall paying a deductible anywhere and this was before breast cancer was in my family lineage. Go figure.
