Report
Just have had a ton of problems with this provider and her office staff. Billing problems (in the thousands of dollars) are constant. She keeps charging us for things we've already paid for and pushing for more and more frequent office visits. It felt like she was trying to bilk us for money, basically. She won't return calls, and we've been trying to get a meeting with her on basic goals and progress, and we're still waiting and have been, for months. We left this practice with nothing to show for it but wasted time and money.
