If you have anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 that you are looking to freely give to someone else on a gamble that they might be able to help you then this is the place for you. I called their office and scheduled an appt to discuss hormone therapy. I was told they don't file on insurance which is fine, but they failed to mention that they don't provide the medical billing codes on their invoices so that you can file on your own. When asked about that, I was told they just don't do that. I spent 1.5 hrs talking with Dr DeWett about my symptoms which cost me appx $550. I came away with a sheet of paper callled "treatment plan" that contained a bunch of vitamins, herbs and various chiropractic-type treatments all of which carried an individual price tag. I also left with Dr DeWett's two books for which I also paid for -- my total bill was over $700 and what I got for it was 1.5 hrs of talking, 2 books, and 4-5 bottles of naturopathic supplements (many of which were produced by Dr DeWett's own company ??). Dr DeWett did nothing to address my hormones or address treatment of my hormones during this visit other than to indicate further appts and testing at additonal expense would be required. Appx 1.5 weeks later I receiived a letter and a corrected invoice from his office because they had missed billing $5 for a nitrous oxide test strip he had used on me during our "talk." The letter went on to say that there wasnn't going to be any additional charge for the test strip, just a new invoice to reflect its usage. How generous :-( Basically II paid $750+ to discuss my issues with no treatment provided, purchase 2 books written by Dr DeWett, and a few herbal-type supplements. Any further "treatment" would of course cost more $$$. Going over the proposed "treatment plan" and the costs provided, it would cost me appx $10,000 to take advantage of Dr DeWett's services.
Dr DeWett told me that he was putting on a seminar that weekend that I might want to attend that would further explain his idea of proposed"healing." Turns out that seminar would've cost me another $500 . . . .
Overall, I feel like I have been mislead and swindled. The only thing I wasnn't biilled for on my visit to QHI Wellness was the two visits I made to their restroom.
It is my intention to file a complaint with the AMA and any other regulating entity that is appropriate. This recap is no exaggeration and, unless you're looking to give your money away, I strongly recommend that you look elsewhere for medical care. read more
