Dr. Richard Averitte, MD

Went in for a full body mole check. Preventative medicine, standard stuff. The nurse looked my body over with her bare eyes (no light? no magnifying glass?). Visit was about 5 minutes She didn't offer one word of advice (which was just fine, I didn't need it... family of Derms) but billed for a level 3 visit (moderate complexity, 35-45 minutes of patient care) and when we called they claimed the record said she offered multiple pieces of advice to justify the visit code. She also couldn't ID why my toe nail was discolored, took a picture and said to come back next month. Left me very worried. It didn't sit well with me so I went to a different Derm the next week where the PA diagnosed it immediately, reassured it was nothing and gave me a cream. Stay away unless you like being over charged!

TOTAL SCAMMERS, at my first visit they cut a number of "things" off me to test and then scheduled a followup visit. After tests complete I received a scary phone call with descriptions like "pre-cancer" and other danger zone language. Suprised that all the sudden I went from healthy to cancer zone I asked how much the newly recommended procedures would cost. It was out of this world expensive + damaging to my body. It turned out it was just what they were told to say, I really was fine and not in need of surgery as first suggested. Still a little concerned I went back for the "followup" only to have them cut even more off me (did they really miss that much the first time!?) and that bill came cost 3 times what the first visit cost, and received the cancer followup call AGAIN. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS, there are good docs out there that actually want to take care of you rather than farm your body out to earn insurance money (or in my case right out of my pocket as I am self employed.)

Horrible, a Doctor is only as good as his Office Manager allows. Incompetent staff couldn't even make an appt right.
