Avoid Dr. Ehrmann at all costs!…read more I saw him for a couple years and everything was fine. In the winter, I asked for an increase in my antidepressants, and instead of increasing them, he completely took me off the medication that I had been on for years. Cold turkey. If anyone knows anything about antidepressants, that's a huge no-no. I had HORRIBLE horrible withdrawal symptoms from Dr Ehrmann not weaning me off me medication at all. I contacted him several times asking to be put back on my medication, because I became suicidal, lost my job, and almost became homeless. All he said was "it's going to be rough for a few weeks." I had paperwork that i needed filled out so that I could at least get on disability, and Dr Ehrmann never filled it out. One week, I had a follow up appointment that I had to reschedule due to my son being ill. I called the office, left a message, and also responded to the text message reminder, which said to reply "no" if you needed to reschedule. I was able to get a different appointment, and when I showed up for that, I was informed that Dr Ehrmann was discharging me from his practice for not showing up to my last appointment - that I called and rescheduled with no issue. He discharged me, never did my disability paperwork, and never cared if I was going to be ok or not. He should not be practicing anymore. If he's not able to handle certain conditions, he needs to refer his patients to someone who can. He never once gave me any referrals to a psychiatrist, even after he told me he didn't know much about mental health disorders. Him taking me off my medications cold turkey quite literally destroyed my career, my life, and my home. I'm writing this not to be malicious, but as a warning that this man should not have a medical license and should be avoided at all costs if you want your health taken seriously.

This takes the cake she has her office send me a letter saying that no doctor from that location could see me but offered referrals to other racist MD's. Smfh true story!!

This is the first time I've ever been on yelp. But I was looking to see if there's a way I can…read moreemail dr. Gammon's personally. Then I ran into all these bad reviews which I can't believe. I feel Dr. Gammon is an awesome guy that is helping a lot of people. I've been dealing with addiction problems almost my whole life. I struggled with alcohol and heroin the most. It was the hardest thing I ever did in my life to get away from those two substances and if it wasn't for Dr. Gammons, I don't believe I would be cleaned today from them. I've been seeing Dr. Gammons for almost 30 years now. And I would say he is the best doctor I've seen to help me get through my problems with addiction. But that's all I'm gonna say I don't review too often. I'm sure there is a lot of good reviews. I just happened to click on the one star ones. There was much more five star reviews. I just can't believe there's any .Dr. Gammons took on a lot of different offices to try to help people in different areas which has to be one of the most hardest jobs. Especially dealing with drug addicts and alcoholics. We can be real pricks. It's gotta be the most stressful job ever has been a doctor dealing with people like us and Dr. Gammon is only been improving from what I seen over the years.

They have to know they have this coming after the office visit I just recently had: If you've been…read moreseen at this office, pull up your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) on your insurance app immediately. You are likely being overcharged by a staff that operates on a mix of arrogance and total ignorance of their own contracts. I'm a skeptic by nature. I read the bad reviews and thought, "I'll be the judge of that." Convenience won, and for a minute, it seemed fine. The doctor himself is a nice guy...accommodating and professional. He was training a female doctor during my first two visits, who, oddly, I never saw again for the remaining five appointments. The office staff was cordial and they were doing their thing back there... But that "laid back" atmosphere eventually curdled into something toxic. By the fourth visit, the vibe was off...Whispering behind the counter, giggling at weird times, and a robotic, emotionless "deadpan" manner from the staff. Just an uncomfortable, toxic-adjacent environment. What became interesting was how every visit, they demanded a $50 specialist copay. I thought this was okay because my insurance card says specialist would cost as much. However, when I finally checked my EOBs, Blue Care Network had listed my responsibility as $25.00 per visit, with the fine print explicitly stating: "Your provider should not ask you to pay any more than this amount." When I brought this documented fact to the office manager, I was dismissed. A male employee behind the counter who was entirely irrelevant to the conversation decided to rudely insert himself just to be condescending. It's always the ig talking to you as if you're the ig one. I went home, did the research, called BCN, and confirmed I was 100% correct. The EOB is the single source of truth. If BCN processes a claim at $25, the provider is contractually prohibited from charging you a penny more. Today, at my final visit, to my surprise, they initially took the $25. But after seeing the doctor, I came out to find the office manager waiting with a smug attitude to tell me I was wrong and she had "just spoken to BCN." When I tried to explain (for the 15th time) how medical billing codes actually work, the entire front desk lost it. All three employees started talking over me loudly. The office manager became incredibly animated, swinging her head, waving her hands and getting excited. I'll admit, the situation pushed me to a point of matching her energy, but the result was laughable: I was "discharged" (as if I was going to continue going there after this) and told by the other irrelevant girl that she was "calling the police right now!" (LOL) All because I insisted they follow their own insurance contract. Yeah these people are aching for conflict. It's a bizarre sight to see adults have a collective meltdown because a patient understands their billing better than they do. Ignorance isn't an excuse when you're dealing with people's hard-earned money. Check your EOBs. You probably have money sitting in Gammons' bank account that belongs in yours In the meantime I suggest that the office manager and her supporting staff educate themselves by cracking a book on basic medical billing. Oh, and to the office manager: charging more than the member responsibility listed on the EOB is a contractual violation and, in some cases, can be reported as insurance fraud.

I have been seeing Dr Abbo at this clinic for over ten years. I have since moved from Ferndale,…read morewhere I first lived when I began seeing Dr Abbo, and now drive happily the much farther distance to continue my health journey with her and this clinic. Most all of the employees who work here have been with Covenant since I can remember, which to means a great deal about the work environment. I saw a fellow Yelper's one-star review of this place and how she called them 'less than Christian', and made claims that they do not pay their bills. Huh? Every single morning, before they begin their day, the entire staff joins in a prayer circle to give thanks and prayers for the day ahead. I have witnessed this and was very impressed. Additionally, although it does not happen every single time I visit, I am often asked if I would like them to pray with or for me, about any concerns I'm having in my life. I'm a not a religious person, (I do not adhere to one faith) but I am very spiritual, and have accepted their offer on a number of occasions. At no time did any staff member proselytize, or make me feel uncomfortable about our differences in our spiritual beliefs, so I'm not sure what would look more Christ-like than that - accepting others as they are. Dr Abbo always spends an entire hour with me. The entire hour. Not 5 or 10 minutes. An entire hour.

This is a low-cost health clinic that offers care on a sliding fee scale if you have no insurance…read more Some flutterings of an unexpected health situation is rearing its ugly head and, after a little waiting and seeing, things don't seem to be getting better. As such, it requires me to seek some medical attention. Heard about this clinic in Royal Oak and called to get info and possibly make an appointment. The receptionist I spoke with was nice. She informed me that the cost is generally $20-$50 based on your income and family size. That fee would include the office visit and basic labs (urine/bloodwork). I actually worked many years for a community health center down in FL that operates in a similar manner (except in-house labwork there was not normally included in the office visit fee). CCHC also works in conjunction with the Beaumont Health System and if you require, say, something like x-rays, they would refer you there to have them and other discounts may apply depending on the service. For the theoretical x-rays, it would be around a 40% discount. I sort of got set up for an appointment. More so, got put on a waiting list. If someone cancels and a spot opens up, they give me a shout. Apparently this can take 7-10 days or I was advised to call first thing the next morning to check in on any possible/more ASAP openings. Oh well, it's better than nothing or third world country care (i.e., I am grateful this option is available to me and the general public, thus the 3 stars). All my demographic info was taken over the phone and I was advised to bring in a photo ID and proof of income on the day of the appointment. The sliding fee scale is established at that time. CCHC has 3 other locations in the Detroit area (W. Grand Blvd., Michigan Ave., and on Waterman). The Michigan Ave. location offers dental services. Evening hours are also available depending on the location. I will update the review once/if I secure a visit.

In my 46 years of life, and the many places I have lived, I have NEVER had a better experience at a…read moredoctor's office than I did today at Be Well Medical Center. It is, quite literally, the kind of place I have been looking for my whole life. Upon arrival, I was received pleasantly by the ladies in reception. My wait was short, and then Scott, who was just the most lovely human, triaged me and escorted me into a room where just moments later, my P.A. Lee came in and began talking to me about why I was there. I got introductions. I got time to explain my concerns and ask questions. I was listened to, and all my thoughts were validated and responded to. I felt like Lee and I were BOTH advocating for my wellness, as a team! My experiences at other doctor's offices in the past had always left me feeling rushed, unheard, and "quick fixed", which usually resulted in a prescription or two -- in and out -- despite my genuine desire to actually take an active role in my own wellness, including diet, exercise, supplements, hydration, etc. Not at Be Well! Here, Lee spent time with me, learned a little about who I am and how I view my wellness and my treatment, and worked with me inside those parameters. He was intelligent, laid back, easy to talk to, and professional. I felt this was the norm at this office and I feel reasonably sure that would be the case with any P.A. or doctor that works here. Lee approached the situation methodically, and we created a plan for testing and treatment. I left the room feeling confident that I was in good hands and that the plan would yield helpful information, as well as potential solutions. Check-out was as quick and easy as check-in was, and on my way out, I heard a voice call out to me, "Wait, don't leave yet! I turned to find Dr. Benson following me and offering a red carnation. "Happy Valentine's Day!" he said. Completely brightened my day and made me feel like more than just a patient. I cannot recommend Be Well Medical Center enough. I am so glad my cousin referred me. I am grateful to be under the care of people who actually care.

The health department can have a long wait time, but i feel much safer and more welcome there and it's affordable.

Avoid this place. They will see you for 5 minutes after you've been waiting loooooong past your scheduled appointment time. Multiple times we've waited for over an hour to be seen. This was not an isolated incident as it has happened consistently regardless of when the appt is scheduled (morning, afternoon, etc.). If the care we received was worth it, I don't think we'd mind waiting but in multiple visits the PA/NP (Nicole?) has been neither thorough nor compassionate. I wasn't going to leave a review but was truly shocked to see their high rating so felt I owed the community at large a fair warning. Stay away from this practice unless you are looking for a practice that wastes your time and gives you subpar care. There are better places in the nearby area (Troy, Birmingham) who will value your time and treat you with the compassionate care you deserve. If you are already a patient here, I encourage you to find another practice and potentially look into filing a formal complaint through LARA as well as your insurance company if your "care" was as subpar as ours has been, as I will be looking into. This is absolutely appalling. But at least the front office staff is pleasant! Kidding - they're incredibly rude and unhelpful - negativity attracts negativity. If you're a potential patient give them a call and see how helpful they are about your questions or scheduling before you commit to get a taste of what you'll be dealing with. Then time how long it takes to be seen.
