I guess I am not the only one getting billed multiple times. The statement is really confusing and they will give you a run around in order to pay off the invoice. They want more money and make it more complicated. Stay the F away from this place.

Dr. Vukasin is truly exceptional. His bedside manner makes this particularly sensitive yet important health area comfortable, understandable, and accessessible. He tells you how to get healthy and stay healthy. Regular colonoscopies and checkups can catch problems early, while they are easily treated. He tells you straight up what you need to do without any surger coating. Not once did I feel embarrassed or awkward about my colon health.

Petar Vukasin diagnosed my dad's condition correctly but sent us home without any treatment or medication. He claimed it would go away all by itself. After seeing another surgeon at a different location, it turns out the condition was serious and if left untreated can cause serious complications.

After 2 visits, I realize Dr. Vukasin is in it for the money, not because he cares about people. At my first visit, the doctor was late because he needed to treat an emergency case, so I wasn’t too concerned that my appointment felt rushed. But then at my second appointment, I wanted to take a moment to ask the doctor some questions before being treated. The first thing the doctor said to me was, “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.” I replied, “You’re good” (as in “no problem.”) Dr. Vukasin responded with, “No, I’m not. I’m missing lunch for this.” It made me feel like an inconvenience. I had several questions, but I didn’t get to ask most of them because the appointment was extremely rushed. To finish that off, I’m pretty sure he did my procedure wrong, and now I’m stuck with a bill to pay hundreds of dollars for a failed procedure. Dr. Vukasin doesn’t care about you. He just wants your money. I recommend seeing a different colorectal surgeon.

We would NOT recommend anyone go to Dr. Vukasin. He falsified my medical records to incorrectly label my routine screening colonoscopy as diagnostic. A diagnostic diagnosis warrants much higher bills than a routine screening. He also fabricated that I had bleeding and hemorrhaging, which I definitely did not as is proven by the perfectly clear colonoscopy results! Dr. Vukasin also billed me twice for a procedure he did not do. If it hadn't been for a very helpful person from my insurance who helped me understand the codes Dr. Vukasin used on his bills, we would have never discovered this and the false and double bills would have gone through. Dr. Vukasin also double bills for the office visit. He counts it as both a regular office visit and then bills it a second time as a hospital outpatient visit!

Please Beware of this dishonest doctor and his staff. He classified my routine screening colonoscopy as diagnostic just to get a lot more money for it!!! To make this more believable he falsified in my records that I had bleeding and hemorrhaging, which I definitely do not as is proven by the perfectly clear colonoscopy results!!! He also dishonestly said he preformed a procedure on me which ...

Please read our experience and STAY AWAY from Dr. Vukasin and staff!!! Their conduct is dishonest, unprofessional and their billing and recordkeeping is willfully or negligently filled with errors so they can double bill, over charge and falsely charge their patients and insurance. Save yourself the headache and hours of phone calls and stress by just finding someone else. Probably anyone else! For a visit a year ago, we are still getting bills, duplicate and inaccurate bills, filled with mistakes on practically every line item!!! Before the colonoscopy there was first an office visit. One visit, but it was billed twice as if it was two visits! One they categorized as an office visit, then on an additional bill they categorized it as an outpatient visit!!! It was in the Doctors office, not a hospital, it was one visit, not two visits, but because they are across the street from a hospital, they double dip on the bill and charge you twice as if you had 2 visits. That was only the beginning of the suspicious mistakes. Even though my husbands colonoscopy was a normal, routine, preventative screening, Dr. Vukasin incorrectly billed it as "diagnostic" which is much more expensive. We can only assume it was to collect more money for it. We saw this mistake right away on the bill when we saw what a high price it was, I called their office and spent a good deal of time on the phone with them about this. They admitted this mistake and said they would change it and re-submit it to the insurance. This back and forth has been going on now for a year and according to my insurance, and another bill they sent to me, they are still trying to incorrectly bill it as a diagnostic!!! So either they are totally incompetent, or they don't do what they say they will do, or they are doing this intentionally. All three reasons are unacceptable and unethical!!!! My husbands colonoscopy which he had done a couple weeks after that first office visit, came back perfectly clear, no polyps, no tumors, no diverticula, no ulcers, no bleeding, no inflammation, etc. He told this to me, my husband and I have the hospital paperwork to prove it!!! After the procedure Dr. Vukasin gave him an excellent bill of health and said he wouldn't need to do another colonoscopy for at least 10 years. However, on the bill he sent in to the insurance, he listed finding bleeding and hemorrhaging which there was absolutely NONE!!! He completely lied on my husbands medical records just to make it seem like there was a problem so he could collect more money, UNBELIEVABLE! You would expect a doctor to be honest, but not this one!!! All this would be very very bad right?... but there is more! On the bill for that first visit to his office where we went for the pre-colonoscopy consultation, we noticed he also billed for a procedure that he did not do. I was there, my husband was there, and it never happened. When I called to dispute the charge, the person who took my call said that is what they always do when there is bleeding. Well, there is proof again that they lie, because there never was any bleeding!!! Yet they are trying to charge us for it!! And if that wasn't bad enough, they are trying to BILL US TWICE FOR IT! They added a charge for the bogus procedure on the claim on the "office visit" bill, then charged us again for the same procedure on the second bill for the "outpatient visit". They were the exact same visit, just in the doctors office!!! I can understand someone making one accidental mistake, but this Doctor and office makes mistakes on everything! That can't be accidental. If this doctor and his staff can be this negligent, or deceptively corrupt on their billing, we are now skeptical of his competency on the actual colonoscopy!!!! For your own sake, PLEASE AVOID GOING TO THIS DR. (DR. PETAR VUKASIN) or it will cost you dearly in time, stress, worry, frustration, and yes, it will cost you your hard earned money by his inflated, fraudulent and duplicate bills! Because the mistakes are so many and so egregious, I really felt I needed to warn others on Yelp about this doctors substandard care and unprofessional conduct and practices. Because of all the above mentioned mistakes, I really feel others should know and be warned. I wish someone had warned us so we could have avoided going through this. Someone like Dr. Petar Vukasin. should not be allowed or trusted to practice medicine.

Highly recommend Dr. Vukasin
