UPDATE: BEWARE OF THIS MEDICAL ENTITY. COMMONSPIRIT, IMO, APPEARS TO BE GUILTY OF AGEISM AND…read moreRACISM. AS IS TYPICAL FOR ALL WELLNESS EXAMS, I FILLED OUT THEIR FORMS, I WAS WEIGHED, THEY TOOK MY BLOOD PRESSURE, AND I LET THE DOCTOR KNOW I WAS IN MENOPAUSE WHEN HE ASKED GENERAL QUESTIONS ABOUT MY HEALTH. THEIR LETTER STATES THAT DISCUSSING THESE THINGS NECESSITATES A $165 FEE (A NEW PATIENT FEE) AND THAT I AM BEING CHARGED THIS FEE BECAUSE I AM UNDERWEIGHT AND IN MENOPAUSE...I HAVE CONTACTED DORA AND AM NOW CONTACTING AN ATTORNEY (THE ATTORNEY I HAVE THROUGH MY EMPLOYER REVIEWED THE LETTER AND SAID IT LOOKS BAD FOR COMMON SPIRIT). COMMON SPIRIT--REMOVE THIS $165 FEE--I SHOULD NOT BE BILLED EXTRA FOR COMING IN, FOLLOWING ALL OF YOUR DIRECTIONS, FILLING OUT YOUR FORMS, AND ANSWERING THE DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS. THIS IS PRICE-GOUGING AND YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CHARGE PATIENTS EXTRA DUE TO RACE OR AGE. AND IF YOU WISH TO CHARGE EXTRA FEES, YOU MUST DISCLOSE THIS TO PATIENTS AHEAD OF TIME. HERE ARE DETAILS OF WHAT I EXPERIENCED... I booked an appointment for a routine physical with Dr. Mahoney. That is all I wanted or needed--a physical and basic bloodwork. At no time did anyone let me know verbally or in writing that there is a fee to establish care despite my letting them know that my insurance only covers a physical once/year (everything else falls under a very high deductible). At first, Dr. Mahoney was nice and knowledgeable although he appeared to be jacked up on something...then he was pretty unprofessional and also dropped the ball on a requested test. This is the first doctor's visit in which the nurse did not ask me to put on a gown and I did not get a physical (just my blood pressure taken by the nurse and Dr. Mahoney "listened" to my heartbeat" while talking incessantly about how his mother-in-law takes testosterone which makes women aggressive. I did not ask about testosterone nor do I have any interest in it so I found it strange that he talked about it for a long time. He also told me that he cleaned another patient's ear out ("the son of a cardiologist") and made him bleed so that patient was annoyed with him (a legal expert told me that the doctor sharing this could be considered a HIPPA violation...). I asked for a urinalysis to be done with my bloodwork and left a urine sample which was never completed and to date nobody can tell me how it was forgotten although Dr. Mahoney admitted writing that he "forgot." When I explained that my health insurance would not cover me coming back to do it at another time as they suggested, nobody cared or offered a solution. When I received a questionnaire about my experience, I left honest feedback. I spoke with their Patient Representative, Keoni, who told me she had never heard about a new patient fee and that I would not have to pay it. (I brought it up because I read another one-star review from a patient who mentioned it.) Despite that, I have now received a bill from Common Spirit--a new patient fee for $165 to "establish care" that my insurance will not cover. Since I am not going to return to this practice due to gross incompetence, negligence, and unprofessionalism, I am NOT going to pay it. I have called the Patient Representative line several times, left messages, and apparently Keani or anyone else cannot be reached. I can only get one physical/year and this one was a waste of my time and it puts my health in jeopardy. In fact, I will be demanding that I get a full refund back to my insurance for this awful and stressful visit. My recommendation is that people avoid this place unless you have money to burn and do not care about your health and wish to be treated poorly. For starters, Common Spirit should be transparent about their new patient fee or any additional fees. I would not have come here at all if I had known about it. How would you like to go out to dinner, order food and then get a bill that includes the charge for your meal + a "new diner" fee? Nobody would like that. It's underhanded, corrupt, greedy, and sleazy! If you wish to charge this, then be transparent about it from the get-go! Please also note that CommonSpirit only seems to allow 5-star reviews of their doctors on their website which IMO is misleading and unethical. Shame on this medical practice and facility. I have filed a formal complaint with DORA and will be filing more with every other consumer/government agency I can. I will also be calling an attorney if they insist I pay the new patient fee that was never disclosed to me when booking the appointment for what turned out to be a terrible physical at a facility I would never trust again. Shame on Keani--she is their Patient Representative and is very disingenuous. She offers no help at all and summarizes what you share with her by spinning it against the patient and for Common Spirit (no surprise there).

We have been LONG overdue in writing a review of Dr. Girardeau: easily one of the best, kindest and…read moreprofessional doctors I've ever known. Dr. Girardeau has been the pediatrician since birth for our now soon-to-be 11-year-old and 8-year-old boys. She has seen them through some minor challenges, including asthma hospitalization for our 8 year old. She has always been such a thorough doctor: the kind who will call you back at home to check on how things are going - even on a weekend. Her caring shows through and through, and both our boys have always felt at ease and comfortable around her. We just can't say enough about how good a doctor she is. Highest rating possible.

We wanted to schedule our two month followup with him, for instance, and were told he's out for all of November, that we can't schedule it in October because it's a few days shy of two months, and they don't have the December calendar yet so can't schedule it then either. We were told by the staff this is normal in that office and that we couldn't see the same doctor for each visit, it's not done that way. I'd rather just have a doctor he can see without protest and who knows him.

My husband came in wearing his classic uber-casual shirt which bears the slogan "My Balls Itch" on the front. The doctor entered his room, saw the shirt and, without missing a beat, said "I can give you something for that." :) He then went on to do a follow-up with my husband from an ER visit a few days prior and explained his diagnosis clearly to both of us. I give this guy two thumbs up - he put us at ease through wit and wisdom, yet took us seriously too as far as our concerns about my husband's health. Obviously we CAN wait to go back, but at least we know we're getting top notch care & consideration when we do. :)

Right away he noticed my pelvis was out of alignment. He could tell from the way I got up out of a chair.

After the second manipulation, my sciatica was gone! GONE!!! My lower back is so much better that we have started working on my upper back. I have been able to exercise and stretch more, which is helping me work on my spinal issues and my weight. Dr. Leo listens, is funny, he really cares! He also gets the injections exactly where they need to be. I look forward to getting spinal injections, as strange as that sounds.
