“A true professional”
I came to Dr. Sindoni after having a falling out with my old OBGYN over billing. Even though I was this other doctor's patient for over 30 years and he had delivered all three of my children, (via C section) he was trying to charge me $200 a visit when my insurance denied him payment for three visits. They didn't even let me know I owed them money until 18 months after my last visit, so I couldn't even appeal to the insurance company. They refused to lower the charge to a more reasonable amount even though over the thirty years I was with him, he made a LOT of money off me and I always paid my portions promptly. I went in search of a new OBGYN and found Dr. Sindoni. I had insurance when I first saw him, but lost it over time due to Obamacare nonsense. Dr. Sindoni was very sympathetic to my plight and worked with me as best he could to help keep my costs in check. He discounted my visits to $50 or $60 and sent my lab testing to a lab that had a discounted rate for uninsured patients. I fully believe Dr.'s should be compensated for their years of schooling and dont have a problem paying $100 a visit for a specislist. Thats the going rate for a specialist as an estsblished patient in this area, and what I pay all the other specialists I've seen. The fact that Dr. Sindoni could have charged full price but didn't, tells me he's there for the patient before the paycheck. He is knowledgeable and spends time answering your questions. I'm hoping he stays in practice for years to come. I found my new OBGYN.
