  Narcissistic doctor won't release patients to see other doctors..., Jan 7, 2012

Reviews of the practice showed that another doctor there had a higher rating, so I wanted to see this other doctor. I was flat out told NO, I am not allowed to see any other doctor at the practice than Karen Bader because that was the first doctor I ever saw in the practice.

I visited Dr. McNally for a cold. His bedside manor was aloof, disengaged and unfeeling. I don't recommend this doctor to anyone. *******************************************************************************

  Dr. Aldea Bamboozled Me, Don't Go to his practice!..., Jan 28, 2012

DO THESE THINGS BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SURGERY WITH DR. ALDEA: 1) Ask for the refund policy before you pay ANYTHING. You might not be provided the refund policy after you've paid the deposit. There are many outs for him not to return money if the surgery doesn't happen. 2) Don't be fooled by the good reviews out there. Some sites allow surgeons to only display the good reviews and not the negative ones. 3) Research to see if there are any lawsuits filed against him first. My experience with Dr. Aldea was NOT pleasant. He showed up 1 hr late for my surgery. Many of the nursing staff at St. Francis commented that he's frequently late and his surgeries always run over (which means you'll pay much more in the end!) On the OR table we both learned I had an irregular heartbeat. Dr. Aldea canceled the surgery but agreed to do it later if cardiac clearance was obtained. I got clearance which said that my condition was benign and to proceed with surgery as planned, but he never was satisfied, he found every excuse in the book not to do it. He dodged my calls for months! I wanted to get specifics from him on what he needed from the cardiologist. He kept having his patient coordinators say the same vague thing, "Dr. Aldea needs to know the surgery is safe for you." No cardiologist in their right mind will write "safe" in a letter. They will only say low-high risk. BTW 2 cardiologists wrote that I was low risk for the surgery and at no higher risk than a person who didn't have an irregular heartbeat. After many unreturned calls from Dr. Aldea, I got upset and asked for the truth and a refund if he didn't want to operate. He responded and said that I was ungrateful and here's your refund minus $750 deposit and he said that I didn't want the surgery. I responded that I did want the surgery but was tired of the run around and asked that he personally return a call so that we could clear up misunderstandings. His coordinator responded that he would not do the surgery until he got
  Very pleasant experience with Dr. Montalbano and Staff..., Dec 19, 2011

At this point in time I have not had any surgeries. I found out about Dr. Montalbano when I was searching for GHI doctors on the GHI website. Also when I consulted with a workers compensation attorney the told me about Dr. Montalbano’s website and credentials. I have to say my experience over all has been going well with Regional Orthopedics, although I am still experiencing some pain but this is due to the fact that I am waiting on workers comp. to be approved. After all is said and done I am very pleased so far with the staff at regional orthopedics and the staff at peak performance.
  No help or care, no followup and a big, unexpected bill. ..., Nov 26, 2011

I was very unhappy with my visit to Dr. Lin. I had a painful ear problem that had been going on for a month, and all she did was look in my ear and say she didn't find anything. No inquires about how long I've had the problem and attempt to investigate the issue. She eventually did a very small procedures that she said might help or might not, and then charged the procedure as ambulatory surgery so that I would have to pay for half the cost instead just an office visit which is covered. Despite the fact that I left in pain, she never followed-up and never even attempted to help figure out what is wrong with me. I'm still in pain.
