Great people and they are all very friendly. They will approach you under the pretense that they are there to help you. However, their main objective is to siphon off your bank account through your insurance company. First, they bill your insurance far more than what is considered reasonable to treat your condition. Insurance pays what is reasonable. Months later you receive the bill and you are left wondering how they could possibly justify the thousands for dollars you are now being told you have to pay. The truth is they can't and they don't have to. That is just the way it is and there is nothing you can do about it; except tell others not to make the same mistake you just did.

On vacation from Arizona and needed some medical attention. Found UC Health online, liked what I saw, walked thru the door and it was a great experience from start to finish. Everyone I dealt with was cheerful, courteous, professional and competent. Kudos to all of the staff.
