Subject: Formal Complaint - Predatory Billing Practices and Unauthorized Appointment Scheduling…read more To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this formal complaint against DAVID VANDER VELDT's OFFICE Meadows Eye regarding a $25.00 "no-show" fee resulting from an appointment I never authorized or requested. I believe this company is engaging in a predatory "auto-scheduling" scheme designed to generate fraudulent revenue from unsuspecting patients. Statement of Facts Over one year ago, I visited Meadows Eye for an eye examination. Unknown to me at the time, the office--without my consent or signature--automatically scheduled a follow-up appointment in their system for exactly one year later. I was never consulted about this date, I never agreed to it and had no idea and appointment had been created FOR ONE YEAR LATER. One year later, I received a bill for a "missed appointment" that I never made. Furthermore, the office has sent a notice threatening to report this "debt" to the credit bureaus if I do not pay. Nature of the Dispute This is not a simple clerical error; it is a systemic scam. By unilaterally placing patients on their calendar without permission and then charging a fee when the patient inevitably "misses" the unknown appointment, DAVID VANDER VELDT's OFFICE Meadows Eye is effectively extorting money under the threat of damaging credit scores. Charging for a service (or the absence of one) based on a contract or appointment that the consumer never entered into is a deceptive business practice. Desired Resolution I am asking for the following actions from DAVID VANDER VELDT's OFFICE Meadows Eye: Immediate Voidance of the Debt: The $25.00 fee must be removed from their books entirely. Written Confirmation: A receipt showing a zero ($0.00) balance must be mailed to my address: Direct Contact: I require a phone call from the Billing Department (PO Box 80450, Las Vegas, NV 89180) confirming that this charge has been retracted and will not be reported to any credit agencies. Cease and Desist: I demand that DAVID VANDER VELDT's OFFICE they stop the practice of unauthorized auto-scheduling for my account moving forward. Attached, please find a copy of the fraudulent bill and the credit threat notice. I look forward to your prompt assistance in resolving this matter and holding this business accountable.

I have seen Dr. Devasis Reddy twice now, and I am genuinely amazed by his attentiveness, knowledge,…read moreand the level of care he provided. I originally came in for a simple chief complaint, on-and-off red eyes. But what I received was far more than I expected. During my visit, Dr. Reddy took the time to listen carefully, ask detailed questions, and thoroughly explain possible root causes. He told me that my recurring red eyes might be linked to a systemic autoimmune condition, specifically autoimmune arthritis. What shocked me the most was how accurately he described all the symptoms I've been silently struggling with...lower back pain, hip pain radiating down my leg and foot, skin hypersensitivity, joint pain, and severe morning stiffness. I never even mentioned these to him, yet he described them exactly as if he had known my situation for years. It felt like someone finally connected the dots that every other doctor had overlooked. I honestly joked to myself that it felt like a psychic reading, LOL, but in reality, it was simply an incredibly skilled doctor who truly understands the human body far beyond the eyes. I walked into an eye clinic expecting help for redness, and I walked out with clarity, validation, and a referral path toward the right specialist who can finally address my underlying condition. I had no idea an eye doctor could be the one to help uncover what might be the true cause of my worsening symptoms that have been affecting my daily life. Dr. Reddy is the perfect example of what a physician should be, knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, and truly invested in his patient's well-being. I am deeply grateful for his insight and expertise. He didn't just treat my eyes; he helped me take the first real step toward getting the answers and care I've needed for a long time. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Devasis Reddy. He is an exceptional doctor and a blessing to his patients.

Today's appointment was to analyze the state of me left eye. Before my trip to St. Thomas in December 2022, I face-planted on my com create family room floor. My head was cut open and my left eye turned black. But no ER for me before the trip, I had packing to do. So jetted off to St. Thomas for a few days with all pictures of me taken from a distance - NO SELFIES (lol) when we got home on the 19th I finally went to the ER because it really hadn't gotten much better. Had a CAT scan to see if I broke anything around my eye, got some drops for the eye and an order to follow up with Dr. Kelly. It took me a while to finally call and get an appointment for today, January 25 2023. Instead of it just being an appointment to address the obvious, we did all the eye sight checking stuff and found out my prescription for my glasses had changed. But after all that, Dr. Kelly took a look at everything and it's just a burst blood vessel that is slowly but surely healing. I received my new prescription and was on my merry way. I highly recommend Dr. Kelly as he is really good at what he does. Having had several appointments with him for various things I wouldn't go anywhere else.
