I saw Dr. Thompson for 15 minutes after booking on ZocDoc (which said she was in-network). She was very friendly! But turns out she was not taking my insurance at the time. Two months later, I received an outrageous bill for this consultation, billing me for services: examination and 44 minutes. At the end we disputed this down slightly. This situation was explained to her and she felt absolutely no sympathy, calling this services for plainly talking to me during a consultation. There was no examination done, and in the 15 minutes, I did most of the talking about my acid reflux. My apologies, but the situation appeared unreasonable and unfair.

Was impressed with the doctor even before we had seen her as she called before the appointment to see if we had any questions. She listened to what we had to say answered our questions and concerns a rarity in this day and age. Looking forward to our new relationship.,
