VERY misleading! I was not told that the initial consultation costs $375. They also try to get you to stay out of network with your insurance. They get to make more money that way. When insisted on staying in network, they want to add all of these fees onto the bill that would be in addition to your deductible and max out of pocket. So I have to pay a "retainer fee" for a surgeon just because I want to stay in network and save money? My out of network max is $12,000.00. When I asked how much it was going to cost me if I stayed out of network they couldn't give me a straight answer. All I was told was, "We're not going to charge you $12,000.00." Sorry if I won't take your word for it. Threw up several red flags for me, but the surprise consult bill was the final straw. Be cautious. Edit: I have now gotten another EOB from my insurance showing another charge for a visit of $521.40 along with $363.00 for an EKG that they did NOT do and $180.40 for them to poke my finger to check my sugar. The bills keep coming even though I only went once. Tell me how I am charged for a physician twice in one visit!? Sounds fraudulent to me! Beware!

staff great Staff was excellent. Courteous, friendly, helpful. Doctor was an asshat.

Do not trust this practice Do not trust this practice. They advise free consultation but when they called to schedule i was told $500 non refundable fee ( because I had a prior procedure in Mexico) if I saw the surgeon. Since I just had another surgeon tell me he couldn't help me I am not running to throw away $500.

Get EVERYTHING in writing and then keep it for...ever. I had an egd done with Dr. Orris late last year, 2014. He told me that would include one fill after the procedure. I went in in November, 2014 and had the fill. No problems, no issues, no charge. It is now September 18th.... 2015... and I'm being billed $264.00 for said fill. I called up the office. I was transferred to Jennifer in the billing department. I explained the situation. She was nice and helpful, told me she'd research it and get back to me. She called me back and said, "you weren't charged for the visit. .. only the fill." I asked her for clarification. .. even though that's NOT what I was told during my egd and the following visit when I had my fill... In November. ...of 2014. She said yes... I'm sorry but there's nothing in writing. So... I provided my payment information over the phone and advised her I would write a review. Here it is. Almost a year later I'm being billed for something I was told there'd be no charge for. .. and when questioned about it... I'm told... oh you weren't billed for the visit. ... just the fill. ?? Wow....

Lapband On July 21, 2014, I got the lapband placed, and since then I am no longer a diabetic. I have nothing to hide and nothing to be ashamed of. I am an advocate for anyone who has tried their hardest for something, but was never able to achieve that goal because of the way their body was made or how it works. The lapband is not an easy way out...I still have to eat healthy and work out to ensure success. I never wanted to be skinny, I just wanted to be healthy and this past year has guided me to a much healthier lifestyle that I am forever grateful for, thanks to the WLIA.
