Dennis Barner Great experience. I had 2 total hip replacements and there was no issues. They were 3 years apart and both times everything went great. I had no issues with the administrative part they were very helpful. The nursing staff was also great. First time I was out in less than 6 hours. This time in 4 hours. Great job exceptional surgery center. Thanks

Taylor I don’t typically write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience with the front desk staff at Roseville Surgery Center.
When I arrived for my scheduled surgery, I was informed that my deductible would be around $2,500, which, admittedly, wasn’t a surprise given that I have a very high deductible plan. What wasn’t made clear, however, was that I would need to pay the full $2,500 up front before I could even be admitted for the procedure.
After spending $40 on Uber rides and having my family rearrange their schedules to support me, I was forced to walk away from the surgery because I was unable to make such a large payment on the spot.
Being turned away from a necessary surgery simply because I couldn’t pay in full on the day of the procedure is exactly what’s wrong with our healthcare system. It’s frustrating and disheartening to experience such a lack of transparency and flexibility, especially when it comes to something as important as surgery.
To make matters worse, the front desk staff told me that I had received notice via text message that I would need to pay my deductible up front. However, I never received any such message. When I reviewed their website, I found a "Financial Responsibility" section that mentions payment policies, but there was no clear indication that full payment would be required before surgery. It says that is "EXPECTED" not "REQUIRED". Expected means something that is anticipated or likely to happen, but not necessarily mandated or obligatory.
The staff also told me it was my "responsibility" to be aware of my insurance benefits, which I am fully aware of. I even called my insurance provider the same day, and they confirmed that I was 100% covered for the procedure. Despite this, I was still turned away because I couldn’t make the full deductible payment upfront.
