Business ProfileforSono Bello

on 10/25/2024 I had the opportunity to visit one of the Sono bello offices located on **********************************************. As per ******** advertisement and a text message from above office I believed that the initial consultation is fee/ complementary . My expectation was that I will see an MD or a nurse and will be able to receive a verbal and written information about the procedure as per patient bill of rights. I was hoping that all my questions regarding risks versus benefits of the procedure will be answered by a medical professional and only then I will be able to make an informed decision. Unfortunately the only information that I received were a few before and after photos and I was assured that I will look great and there is no a chance for complications. Then I was rushed to sign a financial agreement without being allowed time to read it and was pushed to provide full payment for the procedure before I was able to see a surgeon. The consultant did not informed me that I will be charged 2495$ if I book the procedure After reading patient reviews I decided that I am not willing to accept the risks and notified the above mentioned business that I would like my pre op appointment and the procedure to be canceled and the 6000 $ refunded . Please note that I was charged 6000 $ instead so call surgical fee of 2495$ . As a nurse who always made sure that all of her patients were well informed about any treatments or procedures and all their questions are answered before they are able to make an informed decision, I believe that above described practice is unfair and that the financial agreement is designed to force the patients to undergo procedures without receiving any information about any risks and possible complications.
