One i was not advised of at the time of srvc or since. When i offered to pay 100 to be seen today, i was told that was not enough.

Even though I live within walking distance of the practice--and even if I chose not to walk, I…read morecould easily take an Uber--this office refuses to treat me because I don't have someone to accompany me. Their policy requires that a patient have someone drive them to the appointment, remain in the waiting room for the entire procedure, and then drive them home. This effectively means that anyone without a spouse, family member, or close friend available during weekday business hours is denied care--not for any medical reason, but simply because they are alone. I'm not asking for special treatment; I'm asking not to be excluded from care because of my personal circumstances. Denying a necessary medical procedure to someone based on whether or not they have a companion is discriminatory and deeply unjust.

MEDICAL BILLING FRAUD…read more Charged $388 for a standard annual well-woman exam that should've been free. I had to pay $388 out-of-pocket to avoid the bill (that I should never have received) going to collections. MUSC said I should be reimbursed eventually, but over a month has gone by. According to my health insurance company, MUSC has not taken any action to resolve the issue. Fraudulent billing. PSA: All women with health insurance are entitled to free annual well-woman exams under the Affordable Care Act. The exam needs to be billed correctly as preventative care.

My son's PCP is at Carnes Crossroads. I've been very pleased with the level of care that MUSC has…read moreprovided him over the years, and their facility at Carnes Crossroads is equally great. Some healthcare facilities here clearly just push patients through and you barely get 5 minutes of the doctor's time. You won't get that at Carnes Crossroads Primary Care, or any MUSC facility for that matter. Dr. Bigelow was highly recommended to us. He has very good bedside manner and I appreciate that he actually takes the time to listen to what is going on. Plus the MUSC MyChart app is very useful for tracking test results and for communicating with your healthcare team. The only problem that I have is that everyone else in the area must be going here too because it's near impossible to get a same day appointment. I was told if you are sick you can almost always get an appointment same or next day, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. For example, my son has a possible infection and called 8am Monday morning to schedule an appointment and the earliest they could see him was Wednesday at 4pm. So it's kind of a catch 22: you'll great health care here but only if they have the time to see you. Even with that, I highly recommend going here.

They numbed up, said there would be a pinch and a squeeze. Yes, you will feel the needle going in because they don't numb you inside but if you e ever had injections before you know this is common.

Let me start by saying it has been over two years since I've been there, but my experience has…read morestayed with me. They know their stuff, and I never had a bad PA or MA in my entire 1.5 years going here. However, I needed a biopsy of my thyroid and the way in which I was treated by Dr. Henderson has me hesitant to recommend them, regardless of what they know. I went in for the biopsy fine, and left in tears. Since then, I've learned that I am not as sensitive to numbing agents as most people (meaning I require more than the average person). I was numbed up, but when she went to get the biopsy I could still feel the needle, and I told her that. She then got very annoyed with me, to the point that even her assistant in the room with us said maybe they should numb me more. Dr. Henderson responded (nastily) that I just needed to "SIT STILL." I kept telling her I could feel it and she finally huffed and stopped trying. Said I would need to be put to sleep to have one done in the future. I've been to other specialists since then and have not had experiences even CLOSE to that. Save yourself the stress of bad bedside manner. You don't have to let a doctor talk down to you just because they're an "expert." I hope for the sake of other patients things have changed. I know plenty of people have had fine experiences, but that's mine and I wanted to share it.

Dr. Mea and the staff were absolutely fighting for me to get this medicine approved by my insurance. The team here is considerate, timely - and most importantly an advocate for the patient. That's what we all need right? A practice that's looking out for us when it comes to healthcare? Sounds pretty simple - that's what they're there for- right? but it doesn't happen all the time.

Since we had booked three hours ahead, our time was limited and we were unable to wait any longer. Additionally, the receptionist was not very friendly and ignored us for a couple of minutes.

Then the practice manager gave me the price, which I paid before I left (you have until 2 wks prior to your surgery date to pay and full). The price was nearly 50 percent cheaper than any of the others plastic surgeons that I received quotes from in my town ( i suspect because they have their own surgery ctr, where many do not and have to reserve space at affiliated medical centers). Also I had a family member who recommended dr widenhouse who had the same gynocomastia surgery that I had. Surgery was at the end of July. Results were great and staff was very professional throughout. Try PCPS,You won't regret!
