Ok, so yesterday I went to my Family doctor, cause as I wrote earlier, we couldn't afford to take our daughter to her ped., well I went there to get her caught back up on her shots, well when I arrived I had to pay $97 for the appointment, and I was like ok, no big deal. Then when they were getting ready to give her her shots the nurse came in and let me know that they were going to be $400!!!! So we decided to go to the health clinic to get them for they were cheaper. (just so you know it only costs me $86 for everything when I go to the ped.) Well, when I brought my paper work to the front desk they told me that I owed an additional $42!!!! Oh, I was livid!!!! They said it was because they charge $139 for a well child check up. I was like, are you crazy??? the doctor was in the room for about 5 minutes and they want to charge me that much for a rutine check up, man, I feel sorry for people who are actually sick and need to see the doctor!! Well, so I didn't get any shots (the purpose for going to the doctor anyways), and I saw a doctor for about 5 minutes who didn't even seem to care about her. And then I asked a question about myself and he told me that I needed to make an appointment, what so he can get another $200!!! Needless to say I will never go there again, and I use to like that doctor. Just in case anyone is from NW Arkansas, do not go and see Dr. Bill Kendrick!!! He likes to rip you off!! Man he must make like $4200 an hour, must be nice to steal peoples money like that!!!
