Dr. Augustin R. Batlle, MD - Bastrop (TX)

1 /5 TB: I been seeing Dr.Batlle for 6 years. I had a appointment in January of this year. They called me 2 hours before my appointment to tell me that they no longer take my insurance. They told me if I wanted to see the dr that I had to pay cash..I had no choice but to pay. I saw Jennifer and she was so cold hearted and so rude..I cant afford to pay $165.00 a month.she gave me 1 month supply then told me to wean myself off of them. Didnt tell me how to do that. I mean like $165.00 for just a couple of minutes. Im on disability and I cant afford to pay that much a month. I took my last dose last week and I ended up in the hospital cause the withdrawal was so bad. I thought me and Dr. Battle has a good relationship. He likes to talk about his other patients. But turns out he all about the money. I was a good patient..I never had a dirty u.a..never tried to call them in early. I took my medicine right. I wouldnt go to Dr.Batlle. I would Rather suffer before I ever go back. I cant believe that they did this to me. All he wants is money cause he wants to retire soon. Beware of this office.

1 /5 Lois Tatis: Scheduled me for a 12:30 appointment, came and was told they are at lunch from 12-1 and won’t see me. Complete trash.

1 /5 Anne Longworth: I moved to Bastrop in May, 2020 and contacted Dr Batlle as a new patient to transfer and renew my prescriptions. This simple process took over a week. I take very common medicines. I called his office every couple of days to check status and was given some excuse each time by the office staff. I finally reached the Doctor and he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder because he argued with me and went out of his way to make me seem foolish. I finally got through to him, saying that I wasn’t arguing with him, I just didn’t know what he wanted me to do, or how to do it. We got that cleared up, and then he phoned the pharmacy and gave them the wrong patient’s name. I don’t know what his problem was but that kind of mistake could really harm someone. Thanks to HEB Pharmacy the mistake was corrected, and I requested a new doctor the very next day. If you choose to deal with Dr Batlle, be careful and double-check every detail.

1 /5 Anne Longworth: I recently moved to Bastrop and went to see Dr Batlle as a new patient. I needed to order lab tests and renew my prescriptions. The doctor managed to renew one medication, but I had to call every day for more than a week to get my other 3 prescriptions filled. When they were finally filled, they were filed under another patients name. The pharmacy staff helped me straighten out the mess. As for my lab tests, when the results came back, the doctor had one of his staff call me to say "Everything looks good." No details. No advice. No offer to mail me the results. Im calm now, 5 months later, but at the time I was horrified at the doctors extreme lack of care or competence.

5 /5 mary ann applegate: I was a first time patient to this doctor. I read his reviews and was a bit apprehensive. I went ahead and kept my appointment. I have worked for doctors for 30+ years so I know doctors. Dr. Batlle is a great doctor and has an awesome sense of humor, and hes a great artist to boot !! I will see Dr. Batlle any time I need a general practice doctor. His staff was helpful. The visit was quick and I felt taken care of. Thank you to all of you for your help. MA Applegate
