Coordinated Health Easton, Bethlehem PA

I definitely agree that there is a billing scheme going on. I was charged for a "hospital visit" of $1,300 when given an injection for my shoulder. It was at my first appointment, in the doctor's office. There was no mention ahead of time about the cost. Actually, I was charged for the office visit, for the medication in the needle as well as for a "hospital visit" which evidently is how they bill for the procedure of giving out an injection, although it occurred in the office. Had I known in advance, I would have declined the injection which I did do initially until Dr. Friedman claimed it was the same as taking an over the counter anti inflammatory for a week, except it would work more quickly. Actually, it didn't work at all.
They need to be much more transparent about their charges ahead of time to be more fair to actual customers.

This place is horrible and the two doctors that treated me had the worst bed side manner that I have ever seen. I had two surgeries done by them and I am worst off now then I was before. Never again. I wouldn't have even given 1 star they are not worth it.

Here is why I will no longer deal with Coordinated Health.

They have a policy that if a doctor or PA sends you for tests, you have to then make another appointment to come in and discuss the results of your test (even if they show nothing). The doctor will not call you on the phone to discuss the results. And, oh yeah, of course you will be poked and prodded again. You will be weighed, have your BP taken, pulse, temperature, questioned, yada yada, even if you were just there a week prior. Not sure how much of a change in my weight, BP, or pulse you expect to see in a week's time. They do this so they can justify billing your insurance for another visit.

In my opinion, THIS POLICY DOES NOT BENEFIT THE PATIENT - IT BENEFITS COORDINATED HEALTH'S BOTTOM LINE. How is this a benefit to me? You think I want to come back there again? Or how about if I am anxious for my test results but I have to wait MONTHS to see the specialist to go over them? No. This is not for me, the patient, this is for Coordinated Health.

I saw both a PA and an endocrinologist there and had tests and a biopsy done, and it ended up with me arguing with them that I had the right to a copy of my records, regardless of what the specialist wanted. She didn't want me to have a copy of them until our next appointment. I don't care what you want. I have a right to my records. Know your rights, fellow patients. Turns out the biopsy was negative, anyway. So why did I have to wait months to see you to go over that? MONEY, that's why. They don't want to turn down a chance to bill you. (Btw, you have the right to your medical records, and in Pennsylvania they have up to 30 days to provide them to you. They may charge you a reasonable fee. But if a doctor REFUSES to give you your records, they must present a denial in writing, and there are only 3 reasons deemed acceptable for refusal. You can also appeal a refusal.)

Actually the PA was very nice and seemed extremely competent and caring. I honestly have no complaints about the PA (Victoria Lorenz. I would give her 5 stars). But I will not continue to see anyone at Coordinated Health because of this policy. This is the Lehigh Valley, there are TONS of options for me for doctors and medical care. I am shocked Coordinated Health would try and get away with this.

I was referred to Dr. Resnick for custom made orthodics by Dr. Rudolph. I just had ankle surgery through Coordinated Health and it was nice that I didn't need to elaborate why I was getting the orthodics. But, Dr. Resnick has a great smile that can brighten a room. She was very informative about what needed to be done, and what the next steps were. Very professional through and through. Will continue to see her for any other problems that may come.

Had X-rays done and they never sent the results to my Doctor. When I called to request this, they asked me for his fax # and phone #. I didn’t know medical care was self-service these days. Added stars because my X-ray techs were wonderful to me. UPDATE: day three, called my doc for the results. They still haven’t sent them. Calling again.

Doc only spends 15min which is not worth 2hr commute&1/2hr wait 2be seen.no extension/direct line 2 schedule p.t!? Waited 2 days 2 get live person with no apology&no appnt.seeking p t @ different practice. A JOKE! If u wana spend 2days on hold &have nothing better 2 do with ur time!

This facility will bill you DOUBLE (and insurance will not cover everything). I was charged for being seen by two different facilities even though the "other facility" was 15 steps from the exam room (got a simple x-ray that took 15 seconds). I would have turned down the X-ray if i had known about the hidden billing scam. How they are legally allowed to do this is incredible. It's a shame because I actually liked the Doctor and would have gone back.

Never go here. I got charged $212 for a visit with the doctor that lasted less than 5 minutes, and provided no solutions. They bill you twice, once from the doctor, and once from the facility. It's easily the worst experience I've ever had. Go to St. Luke's or Lehigh Valley before this. If neither of them solve your issue, you might as well drive to Philly for how costly this place is. You'll get better service there for probably a similar price.
