Best Cardiologist Ann Arbor Near Me

Chris Wyrembelski: I've had three experiences with the U-M Frankel Cardiovascular Center.The first was a simple genetic testing. This experience was pleasant, and everyone was friendly.The second was not as pleasant. I was rushed through a diagnosis, which I found out just recently a few years later, was incorrect. The explanation I received recently was the person in charge was overworked as the main doctor had left the organization a day prior. I have since shrugged it off and I suppose I should just be grateful for the mistake.The third, and the reason I'm writing this review, has been the most unpleasant. The visit was great! I received the info that the previous diagnosis was incorrect and that I'm a healthy person, which was great. The staff were very friendly and professional, which they always are. Then, I received the bill...Let me back up. I have no health insurance currently. I didn't need to go in and have this appointment, but I've put it off for over 2 years, so it was time to check if I could afford it. I reached out to the center to set up an appointment. During this discussion, I told them I need an estimate in writing to make sure I could afford it, being this was all out-of-pocket. They sent me the two estimates for what was going to happen that day and sent them to me through the portal. I was pleased that I was going to be able to afford it. I went into the appointment, had the procedures they estimated (so I thought), then left back to my state I live in. A short time later, I received a bill for twice the amount quoted!! I understand that there is a disclaimer stating the bill can vary from the estimate, but twice as much is completely unacceptable.With a level head, I contacted the billing department. To summarize, the billing department didn't receive the estimate and choose a "standard" billing code for the procedure, which is a higher cost than the estimate. In addition, they billed me for another "code", as they called it. This "other" code was for another procedure, I'm assuming, that I was never made aware of. During my email discussions with the billing department on the portal, there was very little talk about why this happened, but plenty of talk about all the different ways us uninsured people can pay for it. This is not the point. The point is to figure out how you charged me twice the amount without two very important things; my consent for the extra work or discussing the charges with me.If you're reading this, and you will be self-pay due to no insurance, I urge you to get an estimate in the portal, print that out, and walk around with it during your appointment. Show everyone you talk to during the appointment that this is what is included in the estimate, don't provide any more, or any less, without your express consent and knowledge of the costs included.Thank you for the many years of care U-M Frankel Cardiovascular team, but I will not be returning.

Tamara Wright: She is phenomenal! You'll never find a better specialist in this field. She saved my life and will probably be the reason my other relatives survive this same family illness that would be a death sentence without her.

Jeremiah Allen: I’m a Michigan heart. Patient called to make an appointment because I’m having chest pains. I need to see the doctor nothing severe as of yet the representative Tina was very callous, and unconcerned with my situation when I expressed concern with the fact that the next appointment that was available was July and did not try to resolve my situation by offering to schedule me with another doctor basically told me to go to University of Michigan
