Verified patient
I am very unhappy that the office did not accept the copay as payment in full. They do not have their own billing department and it is farmed out and impossible to get a straight answer to a simple question. I signed up for email and telephone updates to be harassed by the billing monsters. They are now hounding me for an outrageously high bill for the 25 minutes we were in office together. I am hesitant to go back for any more tests as I was not expecting a bill after I paid copay. No one will return my calls.
Verified patient
Dr Jeffrey is clearly interested in your problem, helping and explaining his diagnosis and steps to follow. I clearly find him a specialist and he explains with details but in language you can understand. I am impressed and will keep being his patient.
Verified patient

Dr. Unger exceeded my expectations. Incredible listener... Explained everything to me super thoroughly. After we talked he took out at little digital recorder and very thoroughly recorded himself some note details about my visit. Very pleasant experience
