"They billed me for a visit that did not happen. They use a 3rd party billing service and I escalated for 8 months. Still getting the run around."

— MapQuest (citing Yelp)

"Dr Seslar was great. After breaking the same bone in my foot for the 3rd time, we talked about options. He did not pressure me and let me decide what I wanted to do. I was able to talk to him and he listened to me."

— Bay Area Consumers' Checkbook

"Charges unjust price for items provided directly at their office. For example, they charged my insurance 380$ for a night splint that would have cost under 50$ outside."
