I have been going to SCOI for decades. However, UCLA Physicians have taken over the billing and it is WAY OUT OF CONTROL!!! I recently took my daughter to SCOI for a routing knee Xray and examination. I spent all of twenty minutes with the pediatric orthopedic surgeon and was billed $1064.00, $200.00 for the Xray and whopping $864.00 for the office visit. I find the office visit outrageous and far from reasonable. After the "adjustment" my responsibility was $568.42. Again, this is an absurd bill for the service provided. Furthermore, had I known I was going to be charged such a substantial amount for a routine examination, I would have selected another provider. I communicated to their office - however they are cowards and have yet to respond in writing to two formal letters. I told them - if they send me a reasonable bill, I would pay it. Instead - as a matter of principle, this should be reconciled - hopefully in the court system where they would be subject to damages. These people have the ethics of a grave robber.
