Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unjustified Over Billing
I was billed $781 for a consultative visit with Dr. Zurko. The visit was a simple consultation with a brief breast exam. However, Joanna Zurko used higher complexity codes to overcharge me. Dr. Zurko coded the appointment as including a comprehensive exam, with high complexity decision making, with a high risk of significant complications, NONE of which was is. There were no tests done, no medications were prescribed, there is no treatment plan, there was no comprehensive exam and no coordination of care. I have tried to contact Dr. Zurko to correct the coding, at first assuming it was an error, but was told to contact the billing department who told me to contact Dr. Zurko's office as SSM Health who told me to contact the billing department. And on and on it goes.
