Theresa Quinn is writing this review after her unsatisfactory consultation with Princeton Surgical Associates. From beginning to end, coming here was a waste of time and money. The new patient consult was $250, and they refused to reveal the price to my husband Kevin, even though he asked their phone representative several times for the cost of their consultation before he made my appointment.
After deciding to book my appointment anyway — still not knowing the price of their consultation — my husband was told that I could fill out an online form. It was a nightmare because of old technology.
The day of my consultation, my husband and I waited an hour to see Dr. Sambol. When he entered the exam room, he brought a resident or an intern with himself. We felt that doing so without our consent, was a privacy issue. Then Dr. Sambol shook my hand—Hard. It certainly wasn’t the gentle touch I would have liked to have had from a surgeon.
Dr. Sambol then rushed my consultation. Even through I brought written questions with myself, I felt like I had to think and talk quickly. Our visit lasted ten minutes for $250.
I spent most of that consultation asking Dr. Sambol about compression socks. For an additional $25, Dr. Sambol sent me home compression socks. But they must have been the wrong size, and I say this because after wearing one sock for ten minutes, my foot was blanched white, deeply indented, and appeared full of fluid.
Concerned, I called their office, got their phone prompts, and left several phone messages with their nurse’s station. Someone who did not identify herself called saying, “Returning your call,” then hung up. BUT no one followed up to address my concern, and I had made several phone calls to this same number.
After insurance, Princeton Surgical Associates still wants to bill us $122.44. We had already paid them $25 for their compression socks, and the insurance had already paid them.
Dr. Sambol apparently did not prescribe the right size and weight compression socks. But no one from his office felt it necessary to correct their error.
Then their online billing wasn’t working. I texted their office manager or owner about the issues my husband and I encountered. Again, there was no response from their office manager or owner.
But Princeton Surgical Associates appears to be “on top of” billing their patients. Apparently, they place their business concerns well above patient concerns.
