Virtudes Loreto

My mom made an appointment to see Dr. Virtudes. While there I was informed that she had to pay a $ 70 copay. They told me they only take cash and written checks. They also said they don’t bill patients either and that they don’t take credit or debit cards. Who writes checks these days? What establishment don’t accept debit/​credit cards? Why is this policy not posted in the office or told to the patient prior to visit. Needless to say I was disturbed. All of my moms other visits to the doctor did not require such a hefty co pay. We paid. She saw the doctor.
Not impressed. The doctor recommended my mom visit another doctor (a specialist) but was not familiar with the doctor. Who recommends a doctor they don’t know.
My mom will not likely return. The whole inflexibility with the copay is annoying. Why not work with your patients, especially when this policy is not posted.
