Dr. Trung Le, MD

Dr. Trung Le was the on-call pediatrician at Jordan Valley Hospital for my daughters birth. To say that he was excessive... and borderline fraudulent is an understatement. My wife and I already had a pediatrician and the hospital was aware of this. Dr. Le however apparently decided he was still going to come in and do a checkup on our daughter simply because he was the on call doctor that day. Maybe he figured he could make a quick buck from unsuspecting parents. He came into our room under our assumption that he was just another one of the dozens of doctors who see newborns during the hospital stay and never made it known that he was an on call contracted doctor. He proceeds to do a checkup on my daughter and then asks for our insurance card. That should have been my first indication that something was wrong. MY MISTAKE. Long story short, the next day our regular pediatrician came and saw our daughter and did the normal checkup and everything was fine. 2 weeks after the hospital stay I get a bill from my regular pediatrician, and another bill from Dr. Le. Dr. Le charged over TWICE as much for the same exact services. I verified through both office's billing departments and with my insurance and the coding was identical. Dr. Le however decided he was going to throw in new patient charges and on call charges because he wasn't our regular pediatrician. OF COURSE HE WASN'T. Dr. Le's office then wouldn't work with the insurance company to resolve this and took forever even to simply return my calls. It took me almost 2 to finally get a straight answer from his office, and then 2 days later I recieved a voicemail saying they were sending me to collections if the bill was not paid within the work week, even though they were the ones that kept dragging this out the whole time. I would avoid Dr. Le's office at all costs, and if you see him show up in your room after having your baby, BEWARE!!!!! more details
