Billing and upfront charges are a drawback
Multiple reviewers report surprise billing, upfront payment demands, or unclear documentation.
A recurring concern in reviews is how charges are handled, especially the need to pay upfront and the way later bills arrive. Several families describe receiving separate bills for anesthesia or follow-up statements after paying an initial amount. Others say they were not given an itemized breakdown when they requested it, or they felt the insurance billing process created confusion after the fact.
