My friend and I were both self pay patients from 2007.. NEVER saw Dr.Merchia for one thing! Now I am getting pages and pages of EOBs from Pinnar (filed by Merchia) and Dr. Merchia. This is theft!! He has to be STOPPED!! I got my medical records when Pinnar left the practice but a partly Merchia made copies of all records before releasing them.. My friend had wait for her records because they were at his personal residence being scanned!! Merchia is frauduately collecting insurance money and ruining Pinnars name (not like that is hard)! I was self pay with fills for life.. Funny I haven't had my band checked on over a year now bc I will have to pay hundreds more dollars on top of the thousands I already put out! EVERYONE CALL AND COMPLAIN ABOUT DR MERCHIA.. This HAS TO STOP!!
