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 |

I absoulutely would use Dr. Montalbano again and would refer him to family and friends..., Dec 19, 2011 When I started coming to Regional Orthopedics I was in a lot of pain and experienced limited to no activity. When I was brought to the emergency room Dr. Montalbano was the one who performed surgery on my right ankle. The healing process took longer than I would have liked but was no fault of the doctor. The pain has decreased but still some pain is present. I absoulutely would use Dr. Montalbano again and would refer him to family and friends. |

Rip off billing codes... HORRIBLE customer service and always a huge hassle to deal with- Beware..., Nov 22, 2011 Deer family practice NEVER seems to operate smoothly... There is always an issue with Dr. Parkers CODING for insurance.... It seems that either the doctor or office staff intentionally uses codes they KNOW will not be paid by your insurance. This has happened more than once... I always feel as though I should keep my mouth shut to avoid tripping another code input into the computer system. These codes are knowingly input by the salivating doctor Parker... When you do finally get the bill, and are horrified about paying a few hundred dollars for a couple of prescriptions written in 6 min., good luck taking care of it with this office... Codes, hold times, transfers etc... Although most health offices are nightmares these days, this one is really bad... find another doctor... |

Plan to wait for everything; in the waiting room, or for lab results, or a return call - she'll alwa..., Sep 27, 2011 This is a medial doctor, not a dentist, but getting from the waiting room to the exam room is like pulling teeth. Plan to wait at least an hour. Two-hour waits are not unusual. Once you're in the exam room (another wait) and she finally graces you with her presence, you'll be out in a jiffy. No protracted exam, or time for questions. She'll write your prescription and send you on your way. Need a prescription refilled, or need a return call? You'll be waiting again. "Timely" is not in her vocabulary. Want a doctor who cares enough to listen and respond, and who respects your time? This is not the doctor for you. |

Wonderful Doctor...Very much worth the 300 mile drive..., Sep 2, 2011 Dr Torchinski has been a blessing to my family since the beginning of the diabetic issues with my daughter. Not only are he and his staff knowledgeable but they actually care aswell. Language may be slightly challenged but this is definitely worth it considering his talent. |
