Three generations in my family have gone to Dr. Lanier, Dr. Lanier did my cataracts, my Mother's cataracts and my Grandmother's cataracts. On my last visit in April 2015, I was charged a ""new patient fee"" and an ""emergency fee"". I don't have insurance, the bill was outrageous, for less than 20 minutes. Today I received a bill for $1586.00 for services 5-27-15. On 5-27-15, I went to a new eye doctor for a second opinion for a micro-stromal puncture. The new doctor is in Spring, Texas, where I live. \r
My husband and I have driven 40 miles each way to see Dr. Lanier or an associate, for 30 years....the billing department and office manager have turned a well respected eye clinic into a dysfunctional mess..not worth the trouble and very unprofessional, also the bill was originally addressed to my Mother who passed away 20 years ago.
