Dr. Michael Bublik, MD

I was skeptical of Dr. Bublik after one visit, decided to get a second opinion, and made the following observations: Dr. Bublik is extremely overpriced. He billed considerably more for visits and procedures--for example he charged $670 for an endoscopy while the other doctor charged $260. Dr. Bublik has a private practice and in my experience private practices have always been more convenient than hospitals. And I'm ok with paying more for a higher level of service but this was not the case with Dr. Bublik. I was still in the waiting room 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. I then waited longer in the examining room and was eventually greeted by Dr. Bublik's assistant. I told him my symptoms and he left the room and relayed them to Dr. Bublik. Not a very personal experience. It took so long for Dr. Bublik to see me that they had to give me a second dose of novocaine for the endoscopy. When Dr. Bublik finally entered he allowed his assistant to operate the endoscopy… camera, which at one point became extremely painful. And in general the visit felt very rushed. Dr. Bublik's recommendation for my symptoms was an in-office procedure that costs nearly $9,000, 10% of which I'd be responsible for per Blue Cross. I trusted this was the best option and decided to go forward with BC approving it. After waiting nearly two weeks BC rejected the procedure, saying a patient needs to satisfy four criteria before being approved and I didn't satisfy a single one. I can't imagine Dr. Bublik didn't know this. It was upon realizing Dr. Bublik caused me to lose two weeks of waiting time and seeing his exorbitant fees that I decided to get a second opinion. My new doctor went through the necessary steps to get the procedure approved by Blue Cross and it has been scheduled. He was efficient and didn't recommend any procedures that seemingly only padded his wallet, like Dr. Bublik ordering an in-office allergy test for which he billed $2,076. He operated the endoscopy camera himself and I didn't feel a thing. He also recorded what he saw in my sinuses and discussed it with me and made sure I understood everything. This is the kind of care that should be the norm and Dr. Bublik should take notes. If you're looking for personalized, efficient care at a reasonable cost stay away from Dr. Bublik.

Great doctor! He listens to you and really cares about your well being. I had endoscopic sinus surgery and he was very professional and accurate. Somewhat painful but worth it. He made sure that I felt as comfortable as possible. I brought my mother in so he could take care of her health issues as well because I saw how caring and professional he was with me. I truly recommend him. One of the best by far.
