My grandson fell and was taken to the emergency room where they did a liquid bandage of sorts to pull the skin together on his forehead. My daughter was working and the next day, I wanted him to see Dr. Whitestein, a surgeon who had repaired a small scar on my own son's face. Basically, Dr. Whitestein did not feel it warranted any stitches, looked at it, bandaged it, gave directions to put some over the counter gauze and ointment on it and then said he just wanted a follow up (specifically stating there would be no additional charge other than what he was charging that visit for the follow up). One week to two weeks later, taking off work, I brought my six year old grandson back. Again, healing nicely...no worries, nothing really to do but he wanted to schedule another follow up. There were absolutely no concerns what so ever. I thought he was just being nice about wanting to recheck him.
Brought him back approximately a week or two later again, same MO, no worries, nothing basically to do and the charge would be two hundred dollars out of pocket. I explained that I had no idea there would be any charge because the "follow up" was included. Sadly very disappointed and felt that he totally took advantage of the situation. Be wary!
