Failure to perform as agreed or to disclose pertinent information...., Apr 14, 2012 Dr. Calabria misled me as to the fact that he had never been sued by a patient (I have his e-mails to prove it). Had I known he had been successfully sued and was currently on probation, by the medical board, I would never have allowed him to operate on me. By Calabria’s own estimate, and that of other plastic surgeons, the procedures he was to perform on me: vertical face-lift, neck-lift, endoscopic forehead lift, lower eye-lid correction (blepharoplasty) and fat injections (volume restoration) to various places on my face; that I paid $41,000 for should have taken 8 to 9 hours to perform. He spent less than 5 hours on my procedures. Two of the procedures got infected. My left lower eyelid, seen to by Dr. Applebaum , and the right cut in my skull. The endosocopic cut had opened to such a degree that Calabria was to re-stitch it. He did not.” Rather than the “Vertical Facelift” I paid for he performed the One-Stitch procedure instead and left me with the scars to prove it. He also caused a lump on my cheek. He promised to eliminate this lump; he did not. My lower Eye-lids were to be done from the inside; he cut on the outside and stitched in my eyelids resulting in a chronic case of blepharitis. |

Does not respond to calls from patient or pharmacy..., Apr 11, 2012 During my last appointment, lab results were slow in being returned, and were not available for discussion and this doctor promised to call as soon as the results were available. THREE WEEKS later, I still do not have the results of the tests. Repeated calls to the office are deleted from the voice mail with no response whatsoever. Due to a problem with a prescription as written, the pharmacy has also left repeated voice mails with requests for information/instructions, which are also ignored. The outgoing message states that all calls will be returned within 24-48 hours. This has not happened, either for myself or the pharmacy. Not gettng any response from this office is inexecusable. |

Run away from Dc. L Nazario. I dismissed previous reviews by other patients...., Mar 1, 2012 Nazario has no bedside manners. I waited 12 wks. W/serious health issues expressed the urgency and got a cancellation call at 4:56pm the day before my apt. certainly, calling to cancel my appointment the day before had to b a mistake. I went at 8:30am on my appointment (9am). 10 minutes later after check in a clerk comes out to tell me that my appointment was canceled. I'd already changed meetings, took morning off work & I was in urgent need to see her, was she aware? Yes she was. Office Mngr.realized time was slotted I said I was not expecting her to have a diagnosis at first glance, but that she needed to hear my symptoms & I would come back some other time. He had no argument.30 minutes later came back she said no -re-schedule. Total lack of humanity. No even face to face-on a scheduled appointment paper won’t tell a diagnosis. Nurses search for records after the patient signs a release. I was glad to do the legwork and wasted 12 weeks zero regard to my health and to my time |

Wouldn't send my worst enemy to him or his staff. Avoid at all cost!..., Feb 17, 2012 I've been to lots of doctors in my time, but "Doctor Carter" (if he so can be called) is the worst. Not even a close second. He spent roughly 15 minutes in the room with me, in which, 10 of those minutes were him typing my information into a computer. Never even listened to my symptoms, just typed. Also, I had to argue endlessly with his nurse to write me a higher amount of my prescription, even after my insurance had agreed to a higher amount. She was just too lazy to write it, or confirm with the insurance company. Stay away if you care about your health! His staff is equally useless. I requested my lab results 4 TIMES before they sent them out 1 MONTH later. It's sad, but he has jaded me to the medical profession. If you don't care about people, why become a doctor? |

New Patients Beware - Office staff and Dr NOT helpful..., Dec 2, 2011 Scheduled an appt as a new patient with the office. Showed up at sheduled time, Someone never entered my appt into the system. Dr said she couldn't see me, I would have to reschedule. Had to reschedule for 7:15 Friday morning because I was going to be out of blood pressure medication. Driving there Friday morning from East side of Columbus, ran into traffic. Called office to tell them I would be 15 minutes late, was told once again I would have to reschedule and there was nothing they could do to help me. I WOULD NOT GO TO THIS DR. |
