She was nice,but didn't seem very helpful with what I was there for...., Mar 17, 2011 Staff difficult, did not take messages well.Not helpful. Doctor and her nurse were nice enough,but not helpful,I felt she was just there to write my prescriptions.They don't do labwork in office and getting referrals for needed blood work,etc.,like begging.You'd think they paid for it or something.If I needed to know something I turned to M.S. Lifelines or M.S.A.A.The nurses at M.S. Lifelines are awesome! They know the disease and are always there for you!

Terrible Doctor, Unprofessional and Unintelligent ..., Apr 6, 2012 I had clavicle repair surgery with a plate and screws done by Dr. Gennaro. He averaged at least an hour behind schedule. The hospital staff was awful, they burst a vein every time an IV had to be put in. The x ray technicians messed up the angle of the x rays every single time. A month after surgery I developed pockets of fluid which formed blood blisters on the scar. Gennaro used a bone growth catalyst that had a reaction with my skin. This resulted in a hole in my skin that had to be surgically closed. The catalyst was not needed as I am a healthy, 18 year old who is active and fit. Two months after the initial surgery I broke my collarbone again, along with the plate. When he looked at my x ray his fist word was "Shit". He continued repeating this before saying "I've never seen this before, or read anything about it. So come back in two weeks and we'll see how it heals" I will never deal with him again. The plate is visibly displaced and very painful. If my collarbone heals like this the metal will grate against my skin every time I move as it has been doing. I have never had a worse medical experience |

Dr. Ghai's unprofessionalism and poor judgement almost killed me...., Feb 16, 2012 Dr. Ghai refused to have a heart cath performed on me at the request of Dr. Hess at Shands teaching hospital. I had seen Dr. Ghai about my malignant HBP. After several visits and a hospital stay he declared my problem was to much sodium. My resting BP was 167/110 at the time of my release from the hospital. I was referred to Dr. Hess at Shands for a 2nd opinion at the request of my family doctor.. Dr Hess indicated I needed a CT scan. He wondered out loud why this had not already been performed while under Dr. Ghai's care during my hospital stay. The CT showed I had Triple vessel calcification. Dr. Hess referred me back to Ghai to have the Cath performed. He felt this was necessary due to my symptons and family history(father died of heart attack at 49, mother had CABG at 62). He told me to have Dr. Ghai call for a consultation. Upon return to Dr. Ghai he refused to order the cath saying it was unnecessary. He said "I am the professional, Dr. Hess is just a surgeon". I returned to Shands were Dr. Hess had the cath performed. It revealed I had 5 blockages 752% or greater. I had CABG performed at Shands on 1/4/11. The physicians at Shands could not believe the lack of professionalism shown by Ghai. Dr. Ghai is completely incompetent. I would advise anyone seeing him to reconsider. |

Go some where else besides Pulmonary Associates. Lousy service..., Feb 2, 2012 His uncertified assistant does everything. Diagnoses you and prescribes medication. Then the Doctor comes in and does nothing. No check up or anything. All this after waiting 1 1/2 Hrs. in a room. Doctor compares everything to car parts. Must have been former mechanic. Doesn't explain anything. Just tell you that happens to everyone. Didn't bother to look at CT scan. |

EXCEEDINGLY GIFTED, PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE - ..., Dec 30, 2011 I have been a patient of Dr. Rutstein's for over a year and find him to be a GREAT doctor, exceedingly gifted in his field. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to managing complicated cases (i.e. multiple disorders, disorders in addition to other medical conditions). He is incredibly educated in regards to medications AND their side effects. He has no problems in answering any questions or addressing any concerns you may have. If a particular side effect is a concern for you (i.e. weight gain, drowsiness) he does his best to find alternatives. He is very personable, which is rare, as generally psychiatrists tend to be very clinical. He spends a good amount of time with you, never making you feel rushed. He listens, asks questions, and asks your thoughts on things before he gives you his take. In my experience, he is not just concerned about making an illness or situation manageable, but in truly improving a patient's quality of life. His staff is friendly and very helpful. You can definitely tell both Dr. Rutstein and his staff enjoy what they do. I happily recommend him to anyone looking. |

Most unorganized Doctor ever with a staff that is even worse!..., Dec 9, 2011 This doctor loves consultations at 500 a visit and never even remembers why he had you come in or your name. The only thing that tops that is no return phone calls, no matter how many times they will check and "call you right back". They schedule appointments and don't tell you or better yet send you to a down town office only to find out that it's at an office 30 minutes in the other direction. FIND ANOTHER DOCTOR … maybe even one who cares about your family and your time. |
