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 |

Medical doctors shouldn't make mistakes even paper ones...., Dec 16, 2011 I have seen Dr. Hoing for 2 years. She has always been plesent and kind however her ability to function as a docter do to her case load, in my opinion, is sorely lacking. She has made numerous mistakes in my healthcare and paperwork that has so far only cost us financialy. Her constant lying again in my opinion to cover her butt further complicates me attaining the healthcare I need and has added undo stress to our family. |

Dissatisfied with his care. His level of comfort exceeds patient needs...., Oct 17, 2011 Dr. Fouss had trouble with getting my meds right. I am hypersensitive to meds and he just couldn't get it. He finally terminated me as his patient. Shocking. Stunning. Really shouldn't be a doctor if he can't handle it. Seems to have a history of terminating patients, according to reviews I've read. Don't think patient needs come first with him. |

Great heart doctor. When you consult him you feel you are talking with a friend. Highly recommended..., Sep 25, 2011 I first met Dr. Assad-Kottner in August of 2011. As soon as he entered the room I noticed something different. He was smiling, and genuinely seemed interested. He sat down, spoke with me without interrupting me like other doctors do so usually. He reviewed all of my medications and instead of adding more or increasing dosages he had a talk with me. He motivated me enough in order for me to try again what they always tell me "exercise eat healthier." So far in 2 months I have lost 6 lbs and will continue to do so. When you consult him it does not feel you are with a doctor, it feels you are speaking with a true friend which in my opinion is key. |

Doctor Ichtertz is wonderful and anyone stating otherwise is full of BS..., Aug 21, 2011 Only people that owe Dr Ichtertz money or are in dire need of money say bogus things about him in order to get money. It is called entitlement and desperation. Sad but true. Dr. Ichtertz is a wonderful and very experienced Doctor. It is a shame that they don't put people in person for false acusations and for commiting lies in order to make financial gains. |
