Q: Private TRT Clinic: I paid $2,000 for treatment and the doctor disappeared.
I’ve been on TRT for 2 years with the same clinic. It’s a small clinic with one physician and one receptionist. My annual renewal just took place and I paid $2,000 upfront. I had some labs drawn and ordered medication. After that the physician disappeared. There is no one at the clinic to take calls and he stopped answering his cell phone/email. It’s been 4 weeks and I have not been able to reach him. This whole situation has left me feeling uneasy and I want a refund. I didn’t sign a contract. I have a receipt and phone records that show the numerous attempts to reach him/his clinic. I have even gone to the clinic multiple times and no one is there.
Small claims court: how would I proceed for a refund? Do I file my claim against the physician or his clinic. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
A:
If you paid by credit card I suggest you consider challenging the charge before you file a lawsuit.
Also, I suggest you send a certified letter to the clinic disputing the charge and requesting an explanation. Again, before you file a lawsuit.
Without knowing more information, I do not have advice on who to sue.
