Are you being taken advantage of by your Healthcare provider?
I was recently shown a bill by a patient that came in to see me that was in pain. She went to a lot of different therapists and no one could help her. So she was desperate. She ended up at her chiropractors office, and they told her they could resolve her pain if she paid for a 'program' that included
stem cell therapy
chiropractic
acupuncture
laser therapy
The total cost = $8560
The reason she came to see me was because she was still in pain. Even if it had worked, it was a lot of money to spend. But she paid it, because she was in pain and was desperate.
I put her on my 2 x week for 8 weeks plan and within the first appointment, her pain was 80% reduced.
Because she didn't have insurance, the cost out of pocket for her to come to see me was $1400 (for 16 visits). Most of my patients have insurance that cover acupuncture, and pay less than $300 for a complete treatment plan.
I'm writing you this personal note because the acupuncture I do works. It gets rid of pain instantly and over time, it gets rid of pain for good. I'm not going to add on a bunch of other services that I charge you extra for. If you're doing acupuncture correctly, it should work. There's no need for a list of other modalities, unless of course, your not doing the acupuncture correctly.
This email isn't to say you shouldn't try other modalities. It's to save you some time and money. The style I practice is unique, effective and affordable. My plea is that you start coming in to see me first for the pain. We will know within the first treatment if I can get rid of your pain.
In my opinion, In this case, my patient was being taken advantage of. I see this a lot in the medical field.
Every week I get at least a dozen patients that have been to every doctor in town to get relief. They have spent all of their money and they are desperate. They have no idea where to go because everyone is promising them pain relief and very few deliver.
If only they had come to see me first, they would have saved time and thousands of dollars. They would have had pain relief months and years ago. It's a big deal.
Please tell any of your family or friends in pain that you know, to contact my office. Most likely they are looking at other modalities that cost 10x what I charge, and with questionable results.
I'm sorry I have to be so blunt, but I just can't stand by and watch my patients be taken advantage of anymore. The medicine I practice is powerful, inexpensive compared to other modalities and it works. I hope to see you, your family and your friends soon.
Sincerely,
Dr. Wade McCulloch
