I am new to Baytown and selected Dr. Frey for my annual checkup and to get a prescription for the pill. I called to make an appointment. I indicated I would be self pay and asked for a full disclosure of the cost of the exam, including pap smear costs. I was told it would be $281. When I arrived for my appointment, I agreed to pay an additional $100 for a more in depth pap smear. I waited almost two hours at the office before I was even seen my Dr. Frey and she spent less than 10 minutes total with me. When the exam was over, I paid the final bill (or so I thought) of $381. Now about a month later, I have received an additional bill of $75. According to the billing department, I am being charged for additional lab work that Dr. Frey requested without consulting with me. When I questioned this charge, I was told I would be given a $75 credit toward additional medical procedures. It is totally unethical to perform additional tests and then bill patients later for them. I DO NOT recommend Dr. Frey to anyone, as it seems she is more interested in making money then serving her patients.
