No one asks you who you would like to provide your anesthesia care, but if they were to change that, don't choose anyone from this group. I asked the anesthesiologist to provide just local anesthesia during my short outpatient procedure and he acted like I didn't have any idea what I was talking about, then I overhead him tell my nurse that I should not speak to the doctor before he did. I stayed alive and don't remember the surgery, so I guess he "made me comfortable". The real problem is the billing. I received a bill a month after surgery, paid it within the week, received another bill the next month, thinking it was for a surgery I had a week later, paid it within a week, then received another bill the next month and checked back to see that I'd been billed three times for the same procedure. I called and was informed that the bill had gone out just a day before they received my payment (paid electronically, so that's impossible). I asked to check if it had already been paid twice and was asked if I was on a payment plan -- no, then finally she tells me that my account has a credit and they were sending a refund check -- what? It had been paid twice and I was still billed a third time, and she says it's because the bill went out a day after payment that was made 2 months ago??? Something is terribly wrong. We'll see if I get a refund and if the bills stop coming.
