I had an appointment with Dr. Brent Tabor to discuss a toenail fungal infection. It was determined that I did have the infection based on a visual examination. I agreed and paid ($1,000) for the laser nail treatment (2 treatments) to help combat the fungus. I had the first treatment that same day. A few weeks later I receive $661 lab bill from a facility associated with this office. The doctor had ordered a fungal culture test. I was not made aware of any test being needed. The doctor had already confirmed the fungal diagnosis and I had started the treatment that same day. When I called the office to ask about the test, I was told it was standard practice for the office. I struggle to understand why a test was necessary after the doctor began the laser treatment. Especially since the test cost around 66% of the treatment.My treatment did not change after the test. Once I received the second laser treatment, they asked if I wanted to schedule anymore. I refused.I wanted to share my experience so anyone wanting to get the laser nail treatment understood the hidden cost ($661 lab test).

I'd like to begin by saying that I was extremely disappointed with this practice. Dr. Tabor was not particularly friendly or warm toward me. He didn't take the time to make me feel at ease, especially when he was feeling around my foot for the source of the problem I was experiencing. My main issue, however, is the significant increase in the cost of the medical boot I was prescribed. He charged my insurance $300 for a boot that is currently selling for $60 on two different websites. That disgusted me tremendously! I would have gotten the same exact medical boot elsewhere if I had known. I believe it is extremely malicious to try to get one over on your clients, especially when they are already dealing with an injury. To be honest, I believe it should be illegal for these businesses to upcharge customers in this manner solely for the purpose of making a profit. I would advise you to take your business elsewhere.
