  I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek legal assistance and to file a complaint against Peachy Med regarding my recent experiences with their medical services, specifically involving Dr. K**** and Dr. A***. The events that transpired during my visits have left me deeply dissatisfied and concerned about the professionalism and ethics of the staff at Peachy Med. My first appointment with Dr. K**** took place on May 12th at 9:30 am. During this consultation, I was promised a prescription for Ozempic, a medication I required. However, I was also offered the opportunity to use a beach body machine, which I declined, expressing my preference to try the medication first. Despite my decision, I was charged a fee of $200 for this visit. On May 30th, I underwent blood work as per Dr. K****'s instructions. Two days later, I discovered that my insurance covered the medication, allowing me to start taking it. On June 13th, I had a follow-up appointment with Dr. A*** at 12:30 pm. During this consultation, Dr. A*** informed me that I had high cholesterol and proceeded to give me a suggestive wink. I found this behavior highly unprofessional and inappropriate. She proceeded to send the prescription while I was present in her office. Upon checking out and scheduling my next appointment, I was requested to pay another $200, despite being previously informed that follow-up visits would be free. The situation took a further turn for the worse when Dr. K****'s son, Daniel K****, started loudly discussing my prescription in the presence of other patients and office workers. He informed me that if I did not continue paying $200 per month for the beach body package, they would no longer fill my prescription. Daniel K**** explicitly stated that I would not receive the prescription that Dr. K**** deemed necessary for my high cholesterol and low vitamin D deficiency. Because I only have 83 characters left to write, please give me a call to explain more.

  To whom it may concern, 

  PeachyMed has filed a criminal complaint against the customer for theft of services. Each weight loss visit cost $200. PeachyMed is a for-profit medical spa not a primary care clinic or a charity clinic. Patients are expected to pay for their services. PeachyMed demands that the customer pay the remaining balance and then discontinue all communication with PeachyMed.

  I had a consultation on May 22 and scheduled treatment. They required payment in full at that time- $3950. After setting up a 5 appointment series which was stressed to me that the interval was critical, they called and told me they did not have a provider for the first appointment. This would affect the entire series. I had to alter my work schedule significantly to accomodate some of these appointments and I could not reschedule all of them. I asked for my money back and to cancel. They said they have a "no refund" policy.. I have no knowledge of such a policy and I just wanted a refund as I have received no treatment

  To whom it may concern, 

  The patient was accidentally called about rescheduling an appointment. After a closer inspection it was revealed the patient was called in error about rescheduling the appointment. The patient was called back promptly and informed that there was no change to the appointment times and that the appointment could proceed as planned. At this time the patient then asked for a refund with no reason provided. Unfortunately, PeachyMed does not provide refunds on packages without any substantiated reason such as death or medical illness. The patient was informed that all sales are final in person verbally before the transaction, on the website (see attached), via phone call by a representative, on the refund policy the patient signed (see attached), and it is listed on the receipt that was sent to her (see attached). We attempted to come to a resolution for the patient which could have included a refund, however, the patient has not returned any calls and has refused to speak with the clinic. We cannot help the patient without making contact with the patient. The patient is welcome to continue the treatment plan as originally scheduled with no changes because there was never a change to the appointment to begin with. We hope to serve the patient or come to a resolution for the patient once they return our calls. 

  Thanks,

  Management

  Complaint: ********
  
  I do not accept the business's response as a resolution to my complaint because this policy was not discussed with me at all. When I paid the receptionist had me sign the form that results may vary and cannto be guaranteed, which I completely understand.  There was no such disclaimer that I would pay for treatment I did not receive. 
  
  Sincerely,

  Attached you will find the sign that is at the check-out counter indicating that all sales are final. The customer is welcome to receive an in-house credit. The customer has not responded to any of the 24 attempts to reach her to resolve the issue.

  I have received text messages from PeachyMed every week for several weeks. I block the number and report spam and they keep sending me texts from a new number. I get charged to receive texts so their spam is costing me money. I want them to cease and desist. I was never a customer so I don’t know how they got my number.

  To whom it may concern, 

  All advertising or marketing text messages are performed with consent of the individual. However, in rare instances someone may sign up another individual without their consent. We have no ability to stop people from signing other people up without their consent. However, it is easy to unsubscribe from all marketing communications by simply texting back "Stop" to the marketing number. When the keyword "Stop" is received, all marketing communications cease. This is also outlined at the end of each text message. Nonetheless, if a person does not have the ability to text "Stop" they can call our office at ###-###-#### with their phone number, name, and email and we will manually unsubscribe the person from all marketing communication. If an individual fails to inform us by texting "Stop" or by calling the office then we have no ability to know they wish to be unsubscribed from marketing communications. In this instance, the individual must perform on of the two aforementioned actions to be unsubscribed from marketing communications. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused the individual. The individual can reach out to the office anytime from 9-5PM if they would like to be removed from the marketing communications.

  I do not accept the business's response as a resolution to my complaint because: 

  As I explained, it costs me money to send and receive texts.  It should not be on me to respond to their spam to stop the spam and as I previously mentioned, they keep texting me from different numbers to get around me blocking them.  My complaint should be sufficient evidence for them that I have not consented to receiving these messages and this should serve as notice to remove my phone number from their list.  
  
  Sincerely,

  To whom it may concern, 

  If the customer is unable to perform the ability of texting "stop" back to the marketing communications that the customer or someone else subscribed them to due to disability or any other reason they can reach out to the office at ###-###-#### with their full name, phone number, and email address to have their information removed from the marketing system. However, this complaint does not provide sufficient information to perform the function of removing them from the marketing communications. The customer would need to take the action of informing us, via calling the office, who they are and the phone number receiving the messages in order to remove the customer from the communications, otherwise we do not know who or what to remove from marketing communications. We do not discriminate due to disability or language barrier if the customer is unable to perform the task of calling into the office due to these reasons we can connect them with a translator or other services at no charge to the customer so we can facilitate the call to remove their information from our services.

  This business took 50$ from my account without my knowledge. I have been trying to contact them for the past 2 weeks and nobody will get back to me or refund my non authorized Monies from my account.

  To whom it may concern, 

  PeachyMed, LLC has a 24-hour cancelation policy for all appointments (no-show fee). In this instance, when the customer booked their appointment in person on 2/1/23 they verbally confirmed that the date and time of 2/22/23 at 1:15 worked sufficiently for their schedule. The scheduling software then automatically texted and emailed them a confirmation of their appointment time and date. The app, Symplast, which the patient is registered on and has access to since 1/17/23 also shows appointment times and dates, additionally the app also provides a notification to the client when the appointment is approaching and reminds the client to check-in for their appointment 1 hour before the appointment. Additionally, the call center for PeachyMed will call the clients 2 days and 1 day in advance of appointments to remind clients of their upcoming appointments. Finally, 24-hours in advance of appointments clients receive an automated call and text message notifying them of the upcoming appointment. If after all these attempts the client does not show for their appointment or call to cancel then the client is assessed a $50 no show fee, such as in this case. The client at no point reached out to the clinic to cancel the appointment or follow-up on the no showed appointment. Every client is required to sign agreement to the no show policy in order to book with the clinic. After assessing the claims of the client in this instance, the $50 no show fee is proper and will not be refunded. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. 

   

  Thanks, 

  Andrew
