[nan42 2]

I went through a story much like yours and got them to refund my money!! by the time I got to a real doc I only had 1.5cc in and the old fill people did blind sticks and were not getting in but were charging me. I should have had 10cc in by their count!!! my advice dont ever have a fill with out fluoro. Good Luck

I'm going to try and get some money back too but I'm not sure I'll be very successful. I didn't get a break down on how much the surgery and fills cost. So, I just paid a lump sum for the surgery and one year of fills. However, that is not going to prevent me from asking for money back. They are even making me pay $62 for my medical records!:ohmy: I had to pay it because I don't want them holding up anything right now.

How did you do it? Did you have to get an attorney?

I got advice from and attorney and he said I should let them know I was going to file a complaint to the better business and attorney general for our state and the next day they said the check is in the mail. It should have been for $775 but it was for $500 but something is better than nothing right?

Yes, I am going to ask for some compensation. I probably won't get any but I'm going to ask anyway.

I saw my primary doc last week and told him what happened. He was so upset he put everything I said in my chart. I think he may have called Dr. Boyce on my behalf but I don't know that for sure.

By the way, my latest lab results were "text book perfect" as the good doctor said! :biggrin2: This is the first time in years that I've heard that! Have I told you guys yet how much I love my band?!

Yes I love my band too!! Finally....Listen I wouldn't let the check you received deter you from filing a complaint with the medical board. It is not ok that he treated you this way!!! He will just continue with others and probably hurt someone some day. I'm glad your doing better. You didn't deserve this and I'm glad you PCP was equally upset.
