Avoid Dr. Curtis Buchheit currently working at Three Rivers Health...., Jan 30, 2012 Doesn't listen and he likes to spend a lot of time talking. If he does give you the chance to say something, he interrupts you and doesn't give you the chance to finish your question. He will ask you if you have any questions but it's always at the end of the visit and he is standing up with his hand on the door knob ready to end the visit. His answers are brief. The front desk staff at the Three Rivers office never return phone calls and mostly doesn't want to be bothered with phone calls from patients- even when it's an emergency. Trying to get a prescription refill is a waiting game that could take over a month. Please conduct your own research because I don't want to include the details I found out second-hand. Let me just sum it up as he has had a lot of complaints and is very egotistical. He likes to present himself as the owner of his workplace-which it isn't. And that the office staff is his staff-which they are not. There are so many negative things I could report to you about Dr. Curtis Buchheit, but it might be better if you did a little research on your own. Good Luck! |

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 |

does not listen to you. you will be better off going somewhere else...., Jan 20, 2012 Reception is extremely mean and act like its the end of the world if you ask them to do anything. The dr. doesnt listen to you when you tell him anything. He puts his head down and seems like he is somewhere else but in the rooaskm with you. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Doesnt take the time to listen to your ailements, reception is extremely mean and seems like they do not want to be there, or help you at all. I would rather be in pain, then deal with reception. Go somewhere else. You will be better off somewhere else |

definitely not the doctor for me or my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..., Jan 6, 2012 Judgemental, egotistical, talks down to patients. Pushes way too many medications and unnecessary tests on patients. Hard to reach during business hours, let alone not being able to reach in the evening or weekends. |

Dr Betsy August........................... Horrible!..., Nov 29, 2011 I have seen Dr August a few times. Each time was unpleasant. Dr August does not take the time to listen to her patients nor does she help you with your concerns, and rushes right out of the room. Needless to say I will no longer be seeing her! |
