He is a good person and a good doc. We have known him for 25 + years. Docs are human and I personally could not listen to people complain all day, so more power to them. Especially with clients googling their symptoms and claiming they need scripts, a doc simply asking questions can rub someone who is sold on their disease the wrong way. I would not rush to judgement on the billing to the insurance company. It's the insurance companies and hospitals that are the ones making the money, not the doctors. Hopefully this helps. 4951

@sweetie:
 
Exactly. Call them both and find out what the billing code SHOULD be. Start with Aetna. Something tells me that's the mistake.
 
I really don't think one bad experience warrants a public shaming. But then again, what do I know? I only have a background in Public Relations.
 
Good luck.

Two bad experiences. Had an EKG done during my annual physical.  Dr Heller. does my annual every year.  Heller was out of town so Basadulla decided that I had to go to a cardiologist.Doesn't he know how to read an EKG? No problems found by cardiologist though.Reason I was referred was due to my "previous medical history'.I saw Basadula for a pulled muscle in my back.  {Not the first time I had this complaint] He insisted that I was having a  heart attack and literally high jacked.me into Kingwood Hospital. Mulltitide of worthless test found nothing.  I finally had to discharge myself because he couldn't be contacted.I now have another doctor, needless to say. 4951

My father in law and husband used Dr Heller  YEARS ago. When ever they had to see Basaldua he was a complete dick and rude. Horrible experience. 4951

If I go to see Dr.Heller and Basdulla comes in the examining room I will walk out and damn well tell him why. And I sure as hell better not get a bill submitted to my insurance or charged a co-pay.  He is rude and condescending. 4951

He used to be my doctor. One visit he kept me waiting forever, then tried to sell me supplements and a $400 vitamin deficiency test that my insurance didn't cover. Coincidentally he had a side business selling supplements. I declined and he was upset that I did so. The last straw was when he ran for office (school board maybe?), I got all kinds of mailers and I know he got my address from his medical practice because my husband didn't get any mailers from him. That was many years ago and I haven't looked back.  4951

Sounds like this so called Dr needs a visit from the AMA of which he probably does not belong. Drs like him make it bad news for all Drs to practice their professions.Greedy, Dishonest and Unscrupulous Drs who care more about how much money they can make off of you instead of remembering and practicing the pledge they took when they became Drs to give the best professional care they can give.If these previous statements are true, a letter or call to the AMA should facilitate action on their part.  4951

If I remember correctly he was part of the group that originally founded Kingwood Hospital.If he still has an interest  [financially or otherwise] isn't he legally responsible to disclose this to his patients? 4951
