HCG MEDICAL MISLEADING RIPOFF TULSA Oklahoma
Similar circumstances as report from shellina from utah. Mislead to believe HCG MEDICAL was a walk in medical clinic with attending physician on site. Was told would have to have lab and complete and submit paper work with medical history before being accepted in weight loss program. I requested credentials of dietition and MD along with an itemized cost.
After several requests, HCG would only send me a physicians name and license number. I looked up medical board number and found Physician licensed in Oklahoma but no physical address,phone number and prescriptive rights. Found a physician with same name licensed as an ER doctor in Hawaii. My doctor said no.HCG had already charged my credit card $310.00. I did not complete paper work or do any lab.
I sent letter from my doctor stating no. Cancelled credit card before any other charges could be applied. Hcg threatened they would file credit card fraud charges against me and take me to small claims court which they said they had never lost a case. My attorney sent them a letter. Now am being harrassed and told I have to continue program and arrange for payment.
I still don't know what I am supposed to be paying for. They said I owed a loan company. "WHAT LOAN". I checked addresses online of clinics supposedly located in my State. Interestingly they are the same adresses as Licensed laboratories and are not HCG MEDICAL clinics. I smell a rat!

they arent fake but its still a ripoff. one can go and spend a max of $95 a month and do the same thing. Plus most of the diet help can be done free as part of that $95. Its not that hard to check this out...... In my own case I have lost 110 pds with 6 months of help so far via my own local diet doc ... And he is the same guy I used 20 years ago for similar weight loss needs then. Too many of the 'socalled' diet deals out there while not hoaxes are often way overpriced or at least in part somewhat scammy.

Dr. William Shuler MD is licensed in every state. This patient financed her therapy, then told her credit card company she never purchased this. Once the service has been provided, this is treated as credit card fraud, and it truely is a defaulted loan. Therefore, collections and credit bureau reporting does apply. In these rare cases, we do try everything possible to help our patients avoid credit rating mishaps for defaulting their payment plans. We also always offer our patients with the option to restart their program if they fall short of their weight loss expectations. Our doctor is a specialists and does not treat patients that have any potential health risks. We do promote our affiliate lab locations on our website as a convenience for our customers. There is nothing misleading about this, and our affiliate partners are perfectly ok with us advertising their locations. We are not a scam, and have no intention to take anyones money unethically. We help peolpe reach their health and wellness goals.
