Review for Gail Seeker
Went for annual physical. Shortest one in history. Asked 2 questions about my finger and a cyst. Took less than a minute with no treatment or referral. The physical was covered, but I was billed $241.00 for the questions. Now Dr. Bader won't return my calls and I'm spending my time...
