In patients' words
"I went to visit Dr. Proshkina at Scripps and was clear with the lady on the phone that this was a 'WELLNESS' visit... They are very dishonest. I mentioned that I wanted my wellness visit because there is a blood test included and I had been tired... Of course they latched on to this and said that I complained of fatigue instead and billed me for a new office visit."
— Unilocal review"The insurance scams they pull are ridiculous! I work in the dental field and have seem some horrible dental billing but this place really tops it. First of all, the women that you speak to in the billing department are rude and act as if you’re bothering their day."
