Complaint Review: Dr Livy Stoyka

My wife, who does not take behaviors like this as lightly as I do, compelled me to write this review. This is my first review ever, so bear with me.

My insurance carrier pays for all my cleanings in which Dr. Livy Stoyka was listed as a provider. I left there with a cleaning and a $75 bill for required Dr. services along with a treatment plan for $3600. When I asked the front desk lady about the additional fees, the Dr. yelled from a room in the back tell him if he doesn't want to pay his bill we'll just send him to collectionsI don't give a s**t! After I picked up my jaw from the floor, I nicely asked again because it was the first time that a Dentist office had charged me for Miscellaneous items when receiving a cleaning. She came out from the back room screaming at me telling me to get out or she will call the police! I calmly asked her if it was alright that I just pay the bill first and I will take up the rest with insurance. She then proceeded to pick up the phone and call the police.

As I was leaving she yelled that's right get the f**k out. As you can imagine I was in shock as I didn't have clue what just happened. I went home and notified my insurance carrier and they stated that the additional fees were inappropriate and that I should have not been billed for anything. A relative of my wife who works in the local clerk's office found that there were 2 mental health complaints against her. I thought that maybe she was just having a bad day, but it seems to be deeper than that.
