My daughter had surgery there several years ago. We were paying 50$ a month since that time. The last bill I have (thet quit sending bills and because they wouldn't even settle on a smaller amount I never took her to any other follow up appointments so my balance would not have changed) SAID 1075.61. tHE SURGERY WAS FROM MARCH by the way. I had already made several payments plus received a self pay discount on that bill of 545.70 the a payment of 50 cash then another cash then credit debit card pay 50 another 50 surgery deposit 50 then another surgery deposit 50 and another surgery deposit 50 then a credit debit payment 50. patient balance says 923.30 then I had preious balance of 152.31 for a grand total of 1075.61. I then have made faithful payments every month because they take it out automatically. Let me break this down for you\r

As you can count I have faithfully paid for 23 months that comes to a total of 1150.00 that is 74.39 more than I owed. They need to refund me that money asap via 2 day mail. or credit my credit card if they can but we have blocked you from accessing it from this point. \r
By the way when we saw the doctor Christoferson advised us he didn't even care about the money he wanted our daughter arm to be fixed. My husbands company lost a contract so he went to work for another company she fell off her bike exactly one day after our coverage lapse for a month. We offered to settle with them for 800 and they refused unlike the facility and the anesthesiologist. So whatever. After that I just made payments of 50 dollars a month and that was that. I obviously should have questioned their organizations integrity while the doctor had said one thing and their billing office said another but hey what do you do in a time like that. I am beyond upset right now. This is not ethical. This was second issue I had. They apparently sold a bunch of account a while back to a credit agency but not ours because we had arrangements but ours got sent. They all fixed it or so they said but they didn't turn me over to collections it was my then 13 but 12 when she broke her arm daughter that collections sent the notice to. I haven't checked her credit so I have no way of knowing if they really fixed that either. I would go anywhere but here. We have 4 kids and will never use them again. The surgeon did an excellent job Christofersen was his name but having to deal with this is so not worth it. I am sure better facilities exist. Heed my warning use them.
