Woman to Woman Gynecology

Run, don’t walk in the opposite direction. I seldom (almost never) give reviews, but I felt this was my duty to warn others of this woman’s perfidy. She did tests she did not inform me about that were unnecessary and not covered by my health insurance. She did over one thousand dollars worth of tests (for a simple infection) billed to me by the lab that I had no idea she had done until the bill arrived. When I called to speak to her about it several times, she refused to speak to me at all. I had a simple infection that she prescribed antibiotics for, and yet she still sent in to test it for everything ever known to man, even for things she told me in person it most certainly was not. Incompetent or unethical or both, she is the worst doctor of any kind I have had the misfortune to come across. I know she’ll answer me this time– but don’t be fooled by the comment that most people don’t get this treatment. Just read the other reviews– and believe– and go elsewhere.

Please do not go there. So far my worst experience ever.
1 star only for friendly stuff and fast service (it’s because they want your money fast). I paid 180 $ for visit and routine pap smear, which I specifically asked if was included and Dr. Contomitros said firm yes.
All I had was a UTI (I already had results from somewhere else), but I was denied a prescription for antibiotics for it, because Dr. Contomitros didn’t think I had enough bacteria, though I clearly had discomfort in the area where my kidneys are. I guess she wanted me to come back again and pay again after I would be dying from pain in my kidneys.
Her whole approach is to try to trick more money out of you. She is not a doctor but a money hungry person without ethics or principals.
I went there after reading all the nice reviews which I am sure now are fake or from stupid people.
Now I got the bill for pap smear test and I don’t even have the damn results for it. Then what did I pay 180 $ for? So she dig in my vagina for 5 seconds and tell me something that I already know?!
I felt like she looked at me and my body parts and had $$$ signs in her eyes of what else she could get off my problems instead of thinking how she as a doctor could help.

I never write reviews but I’m so upset about my first and only experience at Woman to Woman that I just had to. I read a review of a very similar experience.
I give Dr Anna’s office just one star (because you can’t give zero stars and) for cleanliness. I waited about 45 minutes for the Dr. already in the treatment room, disrobed.
I came in for a routine annual exam but was also experiencing some discomfort during sex. With my Pap smear completed, I proceeded to tell the Dr. about my discomfort. She immediately recommends 3 different approaches but insist they are all necessary. I asked her what could be done, in which order as progressive treatment. I told her a solution by process of elimination would be most cost effective for me as I am a cash paying patient, I do not have insurance. I was already pretty scared as pain during sex can mean some pretty serious things could be wrong. I agreed to whichever order she wanted to proceed. Urine sample, Cultures and ultrasound. Well, cultures were already taken, it was just a matter of paying another $ 350 to test them for infection/​STI. It would take a week for the results but an ultrasound would show her something immediately so she insisted on it. I couldn’t pee because I had just gone so she tells me to do the ultrasound because she also isn’t convinced that I’m not pregnant (even though I’ve been on Deprovera for 10 years and only missed my shot appointment by a week). It wasn’t much of a conversation. She told me these were her recommendations then left and sent the receptionist in to collect payment. It was an additional $ 600!!! I asked the receptionist what the Dr. told her she was going to do today (charge for). She said it was up to me then looked at me very disapprovingly and said, «it’s your health.» I handed her my credit card, ashamed. The Dr. came back, performed the ultra sound, found nothing. After all the prodding, I could pee, so I did and then they charged me $ 30 more to rule out a bladder infection. I spent $ 810 there but was still written an antibiotic Rx. I waited to fill it until the results of my pap came. A yeast infection. No symptoms but that’s what they said so I got another Rx. Filled them both for $ 48. And the kicker, I opened a bill this morning for another $ 28 for third party lab testing. No one told me to expect this bill so I called the office. I wept as I told Brandy that I felt totally taken advantage of, that I was shamed into procedures I didn’t need. I almost wish after all that that there was something wrong with me so at least my money went to something. While she did sympathize, she didn’t offer any reimbursement and didn’t seem to care that I would not be returning or referring to their office. $ 900 later. That’s more than every bill I pay combined besides my rent.
I wouldn’t recommend this office. The Dr. isn’t patient and makes everything sound absolutely necessary and life threatening while the receptionist is there to warn you «or else.» I don’t think treatments/​procedures are discounted as much as they claim and the pressure to make decisions about your health on the spot while considering the financial hardship is very overwhelming. Not a good feeling or experience, very disheartening coming from a female Dr especially ;(

Dr Anna is compassionate, kind and most importantly, a brilliant surgeon. She has 30 years experience in her field. It shows. While I have a PPO, my insurance isn’t accepted. I send my bills into my insurance carrier myself for reimbursement. I had major surgery and she was there with me all the way. Any questions I asked she answered. She really cares about her patients.

Such a joke…
Nobody talks to you before you show them money…
This is not about your health … this is about your money…
Do you have insurance? Yes… !!!
You still have to pay before you see the doctor’s eyes!
Staff is totally unfriendly and the atmosphere was very stressful at the lobby…
Money Money Money …
$ 180 for checkup that doesn’t include anything!
$ 200 for Ultrasound
$ 400 for Laboratory test for bacteria… etc.
1) With appointment we had to wait at least 1 hour in the lobby
2) The nurse was not that friendly trying to make us get extra test that we didn’t came for.
3) We were thinking that the room will be bigger and more friendly but it was just with the size of a closet with sink.
4) You definitely are having the feeling that this is a conveyor belt for patients but not a clinic where somebody will pay more attention of your health.
I was there not as a patient and it was very stressful experience
I cannot imagine how the patients … the people with problems feel like…
The doctor said that there is nothing abnormal after the initial checkup and
ultrasound in this case is recommended. The Ultrasound was not included in the price so that was extra. The ultrasound didn’t show anything unusual and the doctor recommended the test for bacteria … here something interesting happened …
After we paid for the bacteria lab tests we were expecting that the needed sample material will be taken now but instead of that the doctor informed us that its already taken during the initial checkup. Is that a normal procedure? Does the doctor know that we will need to send this to the lab? I cannot answer this questions!
After the results from the tests were announced from the lab. the doctor gave us prescription for antibiotics. One week later the situation was actually the same or even worst, we called to ask the doctor for help again but we have to pay again for everything before the doctor can give you better antibiotics or something else …
We decided to find better place where your health matters,
where people are friendly,
where you are not on a conveyor belt,
where they will help you solve the problems you have…

I’ve also had the same issue. I went to Anna for an annual pap. The receptionist told me they do accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, but will need me to pay the total $ 180 up front. I called my insurance company and they told me all that is required for that doctor is a $ 30 copay. I asked the receptionist how long it will take for me to get the $ 150 refunded, and she said approx 30 days. Well it’s been 3 months, and haven’t heard a word from them. So now, I’m out $ 180 just for an annual exam, when I have freakin’ insurance. On the other hand, the exam was comfortable and everything went great, except for a crappy policy and rude receptionist.

I really liked Dr. Anna Contomirtros-​her office is nice, I’ve never had to wait long and the staff had been nice up until today. I will no longer be a patient of hers. Apparently her office has a new policy that you MUST pay for everything up front even if you have insurance. This started April 1^st 2013. I saw her in February and discussed getting an IUD placed. I then ordered the $ 750 IUD and had to wait for it to be delivered to her office. I got a voicemail in the end of March from Chelsea telling me it had arrived. I called her office in the beginning of April (and spoke with Tasha) to schedule my appointment and this was the FIRST time they told me about their new policy, and that I’d have to pay $ 150 up front and I’d get my money back when my insurance pays the claim. I was pissed, like anyone would be, and this was when Tasha went from nice, to a straight B! I was then told that some insurance companies don’t pay claims for up to 18 months. She also went on and on about how the doctor shouldn’t have to wait 18 months to be paid. My response– not my problem! I asked her how this could be good for a practice because IMHO most people wouldn’t want to pay for everything upfront when they have insurance. Tasha told me they have even more patients now then before. I think this policy sucks and they knew this was coming before I decided to get my IUD placed. Was I told ahead of time, of course not. Tasha insists that they didn’t know about the change ahead of time. Please, this is a private practice– they knew. The doctor refused to make an exception, and bill my insurance even though this whole process started months before this policy was in place. I just talked to my insurance and the placement is covered 100%, so I shouldn’t have to pay anything. I also know how long it takes to get your money back from a doctor’s office. So I’ll take my business, money and insurance elsewhere and also spread the word. What’s the point of having insurance if you have to pay everything up front. This doctor clearly wants some kind of VIP office. Imagine no Medicaid patients ever again. In this day and age who has the money to pay for services in full when they have insurance? It’s absurd. There are PLENTY of good OB’s in this town, and I’ll be going to a different one! EDIT: I now see Dr Comeau. He put the IUD in. I’ve put a review on Unilocal previously for Women to Women Gynecology but it seems they made a slight change to their name here– so no older reviews can be seen.

I NEVER write reviews but this place is such a joke here goes. I came for annual visit to this office in September ’13. Honestly the doctor was very nice. Their policy is you pay $ 150 and once your ins is billed they mail you a refund for the $ 150. Well it’s now January 25. And after probably 20 calls to their office and Debbie the billing lady who sounds incredibly inconvenienced an beyond annoyed everytime she has to speak to me. Isn’t that her job? I’ve also bought a copy of my paid insurance claim to the office oh and that’s right I also faxed a copy to annoyed Debbie. No reply. And guess what… Still NO CHECK! I wouldn’t refer this place to anyone. Don’t waste your money. There’s lots of offices in Las Vegas that don’t have this shady policy and miserable billing office.

Easy to get an appointment, on time and always treated with respect. The ladies here have just been a treat to deal with.
