Fair doctor good bedside manor but not so sure about his skill level...., Feb 29, 2012 Upon arriving as a new patient I knew that there was going to be lots of paperwork as a new patient. I waited for over an hour after my appointment time just to be told that he was running behind. After my meeting with the Dr, I was very impressed with his professionalism, but not sure that he is the Dr. that I am looking for to treat my problems. I feel that he rushed the appointment after waiting a long time for him. |

Buyer Beware This Dr. barely takes time to talk to the patient, then blindsides the family member...., Feb 9, 2012 I took my Mom in for a migraine. She had not slept for five days because of it and was hallucinating. Dr. Gagan didn't consider that her blood pressure meds. or her migraine meds or the meds they were giving her in an I. V. could have caused this. Or the fact that her thyroid was off. He recommended Resperidal for her. He left the info with me and split, his visit with her all of two minutes or so. I read the med. info and thought he was trying to kill her. It was for schizophrenics mainly. He also said it was for depression. I told him the next day I thought she just needed some sleep. He returned the next day pushing the same drug. I again answered in the negative. A few hours later the pill came via the nurse. At that point I thought I had no choice, as my last two answers had gone unnoticed. I foolishly gave my Mom the med. She became paranoid and scared for her life for the next three days. I was told they didnt know if she would ever be the same. She had two seizures and is now on Keppra. His only reply was that he could give her a different set of meds. He is cold and easily offended. He left me and the other Dr.s and nurses to clean up his mess. It took us eight days total. All over a migraine. All Dr.s covered for him. I'll never forgive myself for not fighting him to the death if thats what it took to defend my helpless Mom. |

NOT HAPPY WITH MY VISIT to see Dr. Sewall for ears!..., Jan 18, 2012 I was very unhappy with my initial visit to this doctor. I was treated rudely by the doctor, who talked down about other medical professionals, and made me as the patient feel like my symptoms were not important nor cause for concern. Instead of offering me more information to help me understand, he simply stated that he knew what was "not wrong" = NOT HELPFUL! I would not recommend this doctor for his bedside manner, his knowledge, or his professionalism! |

Dr. Samuel Lam, Lam Facial Plastics, Fat Grafting...., Dec 30, 2011 Mr. Lam said he just wanted to make my face “Look Beautiful” with fat grafting but he made me look like I have Cushings and one eye looks more lopsided than the other. He injected fat into my brows and now I permanently like an angry man. He tells people what they want to hear and told me it would get better, it didn’t it got worse and more lopsided over the years. I’m an adult, least he could have done was be honest instead of telling me nonsense to make himself sound knowledgeable. He is bloody eloquent and so confident you can’t help but believe him and not realize he has atrocious technical ability. He charged just under $9000 which is the biggest ripoff in the history of mankind. What enfuriates me is that he’s had failed surgeries before and he violated their civil rights by having those ratings removed by his lawyers and cronies at Medical Justice. Those POSTINGS COULD HAVE SAVED MY LIFE from this person and I wish more than anything that I need not be writing this right now. |

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. |
