A U.S. News & World Report Best Ambulatory Surgery Center!
For the second year, our center has been named one of the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
They scheduled me for an endoscopy procedure. Once I was in the pre-op room the nurse barely could find my veins pocked me several times. I still have bruises on my arm. After they charged me for procedure and another different charge for Doctor fees; I waited for over 2 hours and then they started asking why was I there? Turn out to be refused to see me because of my BMI. I couldn't have the procedure done at that location that I needed to be scheduled to have the procedure at a hospital. I went through all the embarrassment of several people looking at me like if I was a creature from another world because, I am overweight. I asked a nurse to remove the needle from my vein so that I can change to my normal clothing and I went to the windows to request a refund for the money that I paid for services not provided this was on February 6th at the Fort Myers location. Still today, I don't have my money back and no one ever contacted me to apologize or to offer to schedule me at the hospital. Horrible experience. I want to clarify that I do not have any negative complaints about the check in ladies at front dedk or about PA doctor Washington, he was a fantastic doctor. I saw him only once and I have no bad review about him but, I do about the facility and the way that they handle the scenario is not about me complaining about me being overweight is the way that they handled the situation not following the HIPAA law or respecting me as a human being that has more body mass than others.I will never go back to that place and I truly hope that they give me my money back if not they will hear from my lawyer.
