I had an outpatient procedure September 25 @ University Surgery. It's a very nice clean, organized healthcare facility. The check-in process was efficient, the pre op nurse came to get me in less than 15 minutes of sitting down. All of the nursing staff was excellent, pre op area organized and clean., all staff was professional. The OR suite was also organized, clean, and I felt very comfortable with the entire short procedure. I would highly recommend this place for a procedure. My only 'beef' was with the billing staff who contacted me around 5 days prior to give me the low-down on my copay ($550.00) and in the past I was able to put something down and make a very short payment plan. This person was curt and didn't want to discuss this and said that I need to have the entire amount at time of admission. She had the gall to contact my surgeon and his office called me to also state "no copayment, no procedure'. I have a feeling you don't apply this across the board, but great clinical staff, thank you Nursing staff.

I have gone there two or three times in the past years and each time the staff was poorly managed didn’t follow through on scheduling messed up all the scheduling each time. I was there called my doctor and complained that I was rude. My doctor referred me to someone else which I thought was stupid Because the receptionist at university said I was rude. Anyway I wouldn’t go there again as I had life depended upon it poorly manage staff don’t answer phones when they do. They put you on hold for 10 minutes. No one knows what they’re doing there other than that life goes on.

ZERO STARS if I could. Avoid this place if you don't want surprised billing! Business manager enjoys her power to much and refused to adjust billing to the correct coding for my procedure even after my doctor acknowledged his mistake. Business manager told me over the phone is was insurance fraud if the coding was changed, but my insurance company confirmed with me that it can be changed without issue. This woman just refused to do it!! I do NOT recommend this place, take your health care another facility.
