Yes, when I made the post-op appointment, I was told everything was available at the office. I didn't need anything. I assumed I had no payment. It was a post-op visit. When I got there, I was charged for my co-pay and when I expressed my concern about post-op visit, I felt like the lady at the front desk just was rude about it and went on and on about it for a little bit. That was the only problem I had with the office that day.
