Dr. Virginia Hardie, MD

My husband had 7yrs of severe left sided hip pain causing him to not be able to stand or walk more than a few min. After several orthopedic doctors mis-diagnosed this as a hip issue we turned to Dr Fabito and his staff. Dr Fabito shared that he felt it was a back issue and showed us why in the MRI. He received his first epidural injection last March by Dr. Virginia Hardie in the office. With a few days the pain went from sharp to dull and tolerable. Then at about a week he was 90-95% pain free. It was amazing. He truly got his life back Well... that was 8 months ago. Unfortunately the pain came back after playing with our 6 yr old granddaughter and we are going on a Thanksgiving cruise. The office got him in the day after I called and their amazing surgical scheduler (Sandy) obtained our insurance authorization within 2 days. He had the injection and is already feeling better. We are thankful this Thanksgiving for this wonderful office (Drs and staff).

I made appointment a few weeks ahead of time for pudendal nerve injection. I got to office and had to wait 45 minutes to get a room. I had to wait 2 hours to see doctor after in room. I got the injection after about 4 hours past appointment time. I then was instructed to wait another 30 minutes to see if injection worked. First, if you have lidocaine or similar substances injected then you can identify pain relief immediately afterwards with no wait. Second, I had billing problems. The office lied to me about the overall cost of injections. I was told $75 per injection then billed $225 for two. I was told $300 for consultation and billed $350. I had Medicare at the time but didn't know it (backdated coverage). I called to have them bill Medicare and find out that not only did I pay them but Medicare payed them as well. No refunds were given. I am now reporting as Medicare fraud / breach of contract.
