Rudest staff and better doctors elsewhere

The doctor was okay. This review is about billing, not sure if that is on him but maybe he's complicit. I was there for a 45 min office visit (seeing doc for maybe 15-20 min of that time max). Had x-rays of my foot and hand. Received a bill after insurance of of $862! I had a similar visit with my foot doctor with x-rays (another specialist) and HIS BILL WAS $97.00. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark as they say. Dr. Peng's consultation fee for the 15-20 min was $585, insurance knocked it down to $533. X-rays at my foot doctor were around $65 of which I paid half. X-rays with Dr. Peng were $180 of which I paid $165. I called the office and they said it's not their fault the insurance company allowed the price of $533 and other prices (Oh, Really - you charged them that much). No reason that any office visit/consultation for any doctor should be that much for that amount of time. $862 for a couple of x-rays, blood pressure (free at CVS), and Dr. examining my hand for 30 sec
