Response from DrB [redacted] (Not the treating doctor)The patient's statements are on many accountsFirst, he never mentions the fact that he was clearly told that the orthotics are not covered by his insurance, yet he insisted that his insurance be billed to "see what happens"Second, he was never promised a time frame for delivery of the orthoticsDecember is the busiest month and due to holidays and lab closures there are often delays that are out of our handsWe did the best we could and he received the orthotics and is using them and has yet not paid for themWe apologized for our delay but he still got the productThird, his claim for this delay causing him extreme pain and suffering is a completely preposterous statementHe never claimed to be in 'extreme' pain even before he came to see us for the first time, nor did he ever, while waiting for the orthotics, report to our office that he is in painIf that was the case, why did he not make an appointment with the doctor? (or can he provide proof of seeing another doctor for this?) Even so, there are NEVER any guarantees with an orthotic or any prosthetic for that matter even as far as alleviating the problem, let alone guarantees on time frame of deliveryBottom line, his orthotics were only delayed by a couple of weeks, he did get them, is using them and benefiting but does not want to (illegible words) making allegations
