Dr. John Velyvis

EXTRA FACILITY COSTS

DO NOT BOOK with Dr. John Velyvis unless you are told there are EXTRA FACILITY COSTS in addition to the doctor’s office visit fee.

I was billed an extra $127.00 weeks after the office visit. That’s a fee just for walking in the door.

The office claims I consented to this fee when I checked in and filled out all the forms.

They admit they never told me the AMOUNT. So I guess I’m lucky; it could have been any amount they cared to bill…$500? $1000?

So that’s $40 Co-Pay and $127 all unreimbursable, Out of Pocket.

This fee smacks of Bait and Switch. Had I been told at time of booking and before I drove 30 min for the appt I would have chosen another doctor.

  1. I had 3 doctors say my knees were the worst they had ever seen.

    I had bi lateral TKR by dr Velyvis and after $300K for surgery and $25K for a manipulation in June the only thing I was left with is a permanent handicap sticked!

    The extension on my knees was L30 and R35 I was in a skiing position. The implants were put in too tight. I recently had revision TKR on both knees and the surgeon said they were horrible. I had 3 doctors say my knees were the worst they had ever seen.

  2. Really Bad

    I went to a dinner presentation for Coon Joint Institute and met Dr.Velyvis who evaluated me for knee replacements-I had my surgery Dec 1 -never had pain since but as a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner I was very active with Pilates and water aerobics, water volleyball and walking-so he agreed to do both at the same time -I used a walker for 4 days, did only 4 weeks of rehab -I was in the pool in 3 weeks and Pilates in 8 weeks-it was the best surgical experience and doctor visit experience I ever had-I live ina retired officers Retirement community which promotes fitness-this is the doctor to go to if you are in to fitness and need this surgery

  3. Never Again

    I wanted to let you know about my very positive experience with Dr. Velyvis when he was a surgeon at the Coon Joint Institute in St. Helena, CA, about 5 years ago. I had my left knee replaced here in Carson City the “traditional” way and had a lot of trouble with the whole process.

    The first time I met Dr. Velyvis, I mentioned the pain in that knee — the cushion (bearing?) under the knee cap wasn’t large enough and I had metal grinding on bone. In a really quick procedure, he put in the larger correct cushion, and then scheduled my right knee replacement at St.

    Helena. What a difference between the first (left) knee replacement and the second (right) replacement. Dr. Velyvis was, and I’m sure still is, a very personable and experienced surgeon. Eldon P.
