Batko Renata MD

Dr. Batko has wonderful bedside manner. She listens to you and seems to be concerned about your problems. My experience with her office, however, was absolutely TERRIBLE. Never again will I go back to this primary care office. I had made an appointment for a physical. I went and had blood work done. I knew I was going to receive a bill from the lab due to the type of labs that I had done. That was perfectly fine - I paid my lab bill and did not expect any bills for my physical since the insurance is supposed to cover for a primary care physical, right? To my surprise, I received a letter from collections stating that an Emory Healthcare Provider submitted my delinquent account. I NEVER received a bill from Emory so I wondered why I was being billed for almost $300. Looking through my EOBs in my insurance account I only saw that this particular visit basically was billed for more than $3,000....lol. That is including the lab cost but MY GOD. How is a general physical being billed for this much? And why in the world did Emory not send me a bill if I had an account balance PRIOR to sending my account to collections? Another thing to add that made me realize this is basically a scam - the doctor refused to refill my birth control (that I have been on for 8 years) and forced me to seek out an OBG/GYN for that. Meanwhile, the office advertises OBG/GYN services...and the only reason I went to have my yearly physical was to have my birth control refilled.

Dr Batko is excellent. She determined from a normal visit that my mom should see a specialist to screen for a specfic type of cancer. The specialist confirmed the cancer and my mom received treatment quickly. If not for Dr Batko’s thorough office visit , I dont think the cancer would have been found soon enough to save my mothers life.

My mother loved Dr. Batko. Unfortunately it became nearly impossible to see her. Office waits were minimally and hour and often stretches into 3 to 4. My mother passed away more than a month ago and Dr. Batko has yet to sign the death certificate. Each time I call it takes 45 minutes or more to get to talk to the right person. She is so disorganized it becomes detrimental to her patient care. I am sorry for that because she does seem to be a caring doctor.

Very scattered brained! Had me do blood work even after o told her I had eaten that day. So I got billed $180 by quest. Had my life insurance company attempt to contact her office for 4 months! When they finally got the information she gave them the wrong patients information!!!! This is very poorly managed and Dr Batko either needs help or needs to be in a smaller practice.
