3 months 4 appt.- brought actual MRI, but not enough..., Feb 23, 2012 After waiting for over 3 months for my appointment, I arrived carrying all the necessary MRI's (which all my other doctor's said was the preferred method, so they could see & interpret on their own,) she refused to even talk with me until I could present the 'doctor's notes' that went with the MRI's. She was very unpleasant, but 'offered' me the opportunity to 're-schedule' - Not necessary. I didn't want to return to someone who apparently did not trust herself enough to read the MRI's with out seeing what a different doctor had interpreted before her. Not recommended - Not even nice! |

Excellent Doctor, nice staff and now pain free!!!!!..., Feb 20, 2012 I have been suffering with arthritis and joint pain since l966, when I had a childhood accident and dislocated my hip. After two years of doctors "practicing medicine" and finally taking a simple xray which showed the dislocation, I had my hip joint hastily put back in place with pins. Long story short.....I lost two inches of growth in my right leg during the time of dislocation and had developed scoliosis and other fun joint diseases. Fast forward thirty five years....and years of deterioration, bad limp, pain and arthritic joint disease....I learned of Dr. Greg Montalbano and decided to finally have my hip replaced. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Greg calmed my fears, answered all my questions, and after surgery, not only was I pain free....but as an added bonus...my legs were even and I no longer had a limp. It was like winning the lottery. Dr. Montalbano is a caring, wonderful surgeon who has hands of gold. If you are reading this and are contemplating having hip replacement....I would advise you to run (wishful thinking)...not walk and have this truly life changing experience.....To be painfree...ying and yang...is only something shared by other joint disease patients who understand the agony of bone on bone torture. Last year I needed my left hip replaced, and I again enlisted Dr. Montalbano's help. He has always been there to help whenever I called or had a question or concern, and his service and staff are the best I have ever encountered. He is like family now and has given me my life back. I am grateful to Dr. Greg for his kindness, professionalism and skills....and sing his praises wherever I go. Sincerely, Elaine B. |

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. |

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. |
