• PA Orthopedic Associates – 727 Welsh Rd.

A medical associate at Pennsylvania Orthopedic Associates called the police after a patient allegedly skipped out on his bill. Matthew Knowles, 41, of Philadelphia, was accused of receiving treatment, and then leaving the office without paying.

Knowles came into the office and told the doctor that he didn’t have health insurance, but he would be covered effective April 1. According to the report, even though the doctor felt as if the patient was only coming in to receive a prescription, he still wrote him a script for 30 Percocets. Employees say Knowles walked around and headed for the bathroom. After a little while they checked the bathroom and nobody was in there. When they found him outside, Knowles took an attitude and said, “just going across the street to get the money.” They waited for one hour, but he never returned. The doctor has since called the pharmacy and advised them not to fill the prescription.
