We apologize that the patient did not have the experience she expected at our office. Patient presented with achronic problem for over one year, which she was well educated on. It is our policy to start with conservative care and work from there. We reinforced the conservative care patient was...

already doing and I  gave her additional ideas to help problem. We did not give the patient painkillers, patient was given an anti-inflammatory medicine which would reduce pain by reducing inflammation in the problem area. We only give pain medicine for surgery patients. Patient was told that you could be doing all the right things to make area better but if you don't get the inflammation down in the area the problem will not go away. There are multiple ways to get rid of inflammation, we always start conservatively with oral medicine and progress from there.This type of problem does not go away instantly especially if it has been going on for a long time. Patient was instructed to follow up in 2 weeks which she did not do.Billing for this is a standard office visit. Patient paid a copay at the time of visit and unfortunately has a high deductible insurance which has not been met, so the remaining balance was billed to the patient. We do not set prices for our office visits these are set by the insurance companies. Much more goes into treating a patient than the physical exam, we also review patients medicines, allergies, past medical, family, and surgical history just to name a few.We are very successful in treating the patient's problem and are sorry the patient did not follow-up.Thank you,Dr. Jason White Podiatry Solutions of WNY PLLC
