Avanti Sports Medicine & Fitnes...
The Communication With The OfficeThe service Avanti Sports Medicine & Fitness was fine and I would return if just for that, however, the communication with the office and figuring out payments and insurance was a complete headache and honestly, seemed a bit shady.
I emailed the office a couple of times inquiring whether or not they were in network.
I got a response that basically told me to look it up with blueshield myself.
I proceeded to get a phone call from another representative at Avanti who confirmed with me that they are indeed in network.
I called blueshield anyways to double check and their representative contacted Avanti multiple times to ask for a tax ID to confirm but didn’t get a straight answer.
After blueshield informed me of this, I got another call from Avanti confirming that they are in network.
Because of this, I went in for a PT appointment and I asked AGAIN if they are in network.
Once again, their team reconfirmed that they are.
When it came time to pay, they asked me to pay instead of billing the insurance (which in my experience is what happens at any legitimate medical facility) they swiped my card for $200 via square on a iphone (another red flag).
A week later and Blueshield calls me to confirm that they are not in network.
The place seemed a little fishy with the initial scheduling and seemed shady when it came to payment and now I’ve finally confirmed that they straight up lied to get me in.
I would not recommend Avanti on this as they are not a trustworthy business.
I had a great first appointment with Dr. Bell.
I had a great first appointment with Dr. Bell. She and two staff members spent about 45 minutes with me diagnosing and working on flexibility issues. Often I feel rushed at doctors’ offices and this experience was the opposite – they were really focused on taking the time to get things right.
She actually deserves a couple of Grammy Awards !!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Bells for over 10 years. Dr. Bell is a very professional, persistent and patient. Her knowledge and wisdom in this profession is OUTSTANDING !!! She has a compassionate spirit and keeps your mindset on improving and moving forward. Shes the best ! She actually deserves a couple of Grammy Awards !!!!
