My colonoscopy involved Lake Anesthesia Associations through a decision of my doctor. I spent a…read moreday trying to get estimates and billing codes for my upcoming procedure. Despite calling several times over the course of day ( 12/22/25 ) I could not receive meaningful answers. I thought providers were not allowed to give patients the run around because of the Federal No Suprises Act of 2022, but apparently this law does not currently cover patients with insurance paying in network. For a procedure performed 1/13/2026, Lake Anesthesia did not submit to my insurance until 3/4/2026. While this is standard practice, I logged into my insurance profile for many days waiting for my bill. I received two copies of my Anesethia bill - both of which contain arcane billing lingo and none of which mention the ICD10 codes used by insurer. After insurance I was left with $446.00 in charges. Because the procedure was in-network and covered by insurance they apparently are not obligated to provide any type of meaningful estimate. The colonsocopy practice claimed the out of pocket charge would have been $300 and included an estimate. So you are actually worse off using insurance. I found ChatGPT to be very helpful in framing communication and helping me understand options. I wish I had done more of my upfront communication in writing, so I had more legal recourse and understanding of my options. The billing practices are unethical at best and illegal at worst. Most of my neighbors don't bother paying these bills. Please give some consideration to not paying or using ChatGPT to draft responses that will keep bills in legal limbo for years. I wish more resources existed to protect consumers from these types of predatory health care companies. Along with alerting Federal and State regulators, another option is disputing your claim in small claims court. Even though you may lose your case, the legal costs will give companies such as Lake Anesthesia incentive to improve their ability to interact with consumers with reliable estimates and readable bills.

An Advanced Practice Nurse who provides anesthesia for GI procedures "in-office" should perform "an uninterrupted medical history" that includes: A thorough pre-anesthesia evaluation should cover the following specific components: 1.

They seem very disorganized. Then after having my IV in for over an hour waiting to go in and have my procedure done, they said it was not actually getting the fluids in. They had to poke me three different times and re-run the IV line. The procedure couldn't start until I had the antibiotics in so that held up my procedure too. So this all took twice as long as it should've to get out of there. So now I have bruising all over my wrist where they couldn't even get the IV in for no reason.

Dissipating Customer Service This place has dissipating…read moreservice, when I first came into the dentist office, I got great customer service, but as my teeth problems required multiple appointments, I noticed their services went from helpful, caring, to nonchalant, assembly line. Its like I was being taken for granted. For my first couple of appointments I showed up early only waiting a few minutes to be seen, the dentist and tech assistant were warm, asking me questions and answering questions I had in return. They created a environment where I felt okay to speak up. I'm shy so I needed that and was glad I had come to this dentist office. But after those appointments things went down hill, I showed up to my appointment always a little early, signed in and waited. The waiting went from a from a few minutes to about forty-minutes, the waiting-room wasn't full. Even if someone was seeing the same dentist before my appointment to me that is unacceptable when I am not given any explanation as to why. I don't need exact details, just a "sorry, I know you came in on time, but you will be seen to." My time is just as valuable as the next person. When I was finally seen by the dentist he was cold and well as the tech assistant, they seem to be going through the motions, I told them I still have a issue with my crown, it seemed to be brushed aside to take care of what was written on the chart. 'Thanks, now what about the crown' I wanted to say but they were so distance, that my shyness got to me I couldn't make myself ask. I wanted to them to ask, 'are you okay' afterwards, like they done the last time, but it was "You're done, go around front." It was like I was on a assemble-line. I couldn't be spared a moment. I don't know if I want to go back.

Not acceptable good mom behavior in the least. I did not and do not want my kids to be scarred for life as I was, so to say I was a bit picky in my selection process? Umm, that would be an understatement. Of the century. My four year's appointment just passed and he's still RAVING about the dentist's office and his experience. The office itself is super kid-friendly: two beautiful fish tanks, a toy room, televisions, books...the whole nine yards. Two minutes after paperwork completion, my son's name was called. They first came out into the waiting area, sat on the floor with him, and just spoke with him to make him feel comfortable (it worked). He was able to pick out his favorite flavor (out of about a zillion) for the toothpaste, fluoride...even the exam gloves! He went back for the x-rays by himself (willingly, happily) and once he went to the regular room, I was called back into the room with him. They took pictures (like, real pictures) of his smile (he loved it!) and then his teeth (super cool). While they did the cleaning, the dentist came in to do a little dentist-parent conference; he checked out the x-rays and the pictures (no cavities! YAY!) and talked to my son about good oral hygiene. After that, the dentist asked if we had any questions, the fluoride (of his choosing--he picked cherry) was brushed on, and then my son was given an AMAZING goody bag of toothbrushes, stickers, toothpaste, little toys, and then he was even able to pick out a "treasure" from the treasure chest. On our way out, pretty much everyone in the office said goodbye and told him what a great job he did. As we were approaching the car, he said he couldn't wait to go back. (Is this not a sign of the most amazing dentist in the world or what?!) Overall, even though we had to pay out-of-network cost, it was worth every penny and then some. You will be AMAZED by this office and absolutely everyone there. I wish I could give this place twenty stars! http://www.drstevekuhn.com/
