I have recently opened a CareCredit account and am planning to use it to pay for 1-2 upcoming cosmetic procedures. My main concern is that when I looked up customer reviews on CareCredit the average ratings are 1-2 stars out of 5 with people saying its a scam, money pit etc. I have great credit now and do not want to risk that because of some stupid scam the users also say that the monthly payment calculator they have on their site is inaccurate. Any advice?
Answer: Patient Financing Options
Thank you for the question. Care Credit is a helpful tool for patients and works very much like a credit card. In my practice, patients have been very satisfied with their experience. However, as with any financial obligation, it is absolutely crucial that you review the terms with your doctor's office and/or a Care Credit representative. Best of luck!

Answer: Financing, Is Care Credit a Reliable Option? In our practice, we use Care Credit as well as other companies; they have been used by our patients with no problems. They do have different rates so please make sure you get all of the information you need prior to signing up with any financing company. Generally speaking, it is always in patients' best interests to achieve a certain degree of financial stability prior to undergoing elective surgery of any type. Patients should also keep in mind that additional surgery may be necessary in the short or long term, following the primary procedure that is being performed; this additional surgery may be associated out-of-pocket expenses. Again, best to achieve a physical, emotional, psychosocial, and financial “stable state” prior to considering elective plastic surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Care credit I have heard positive feedback on Care Credit, but there are other financing options available. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable with it, then you may want to consider something else.

Answer: Financing surgery
I have used them for over 10 years and have never heard a patient complain about them. Some patients even use them to prepay for insurance covered procedures while waiting for insurance reimbursement. I suspect it's a case of people who don't like them are more vocal and post reviews while those who are happy with them are unlikely to post reviews. That skewers their rating to an inaccurate low rating.

Answer: Is CareCredit a reliable financing option for plastic surgery? I am not sure where you came across those reviews. In my practice, CareCredit has been very helpful for our patients. Many practices, ours included, offer no interest options for 6-12 months which is very convenient for patients who need to save for their procedures. The financing can be expensive if you don't pay of the balance within the no interest period. However, this is clearly stated in their brochures and online. I recommend CareCredit without reservation for patients who know they can pay off the balance within the 6-12 month period. If you need to carry the balance beyond, there are other options that are less expensive. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon
