List 3 Doctor of Medicine (MD) near Kissimmee, FL (part 3)

Celeste Montalvo Receptionists are rude and unprofessional. Doctor is only concerned with insurance payments and not concerned with patient care. My grandmother has been seeing him for years and receiving facet joint injections with absolutely no relief and if anything it got worse. She’s still in alot of pain, he’s not even a certified anesthesiologist and doesn’t provide pain relief or care about his patients. His bedside manners are like a wet mop, needs to go back to medical school. This place needs to be shut down, luckily my grandmother has found a good doctor thanks to my mother Evelyn Naranjo and now she’s getting the pain relief that she needs.

Timothy Shaffer I initially went to the Dr. On July 19th I told him I was self pay. I had a referral from another Dr. He said he had to do an initial visit first and I had to Pay $375 in cash no credit card. That was very suspicious. He seen me for literally 5 minutes and then rescheduled for a blocker shot. I went to get the shot and had to pay $750 in CASH! So I did because of the pain I am in. The shot last for about 10 days. He did schedule a follow up. When I went for the follow up that is usually free the tried to Charge me $175 CASH again. I walked out. This is crazy. Any Dr that ask for CASH is pretty crazy in this day and age. The staff was rude as well. Please steer clear of here if I had to pay cash no telling what is going on! I am very disappointed! Now I have to find another Dr. to get my Sciatica under control!

Nick rodriguez Dr. Carlos Placer’s medical license should be revoked. My son had two appointments with the doctor and both time he was assisted by a student nurse acting as a doctor. (Never met the doctor). My wife called in multiple occasions and the doctor is never available. It seems like Mr. Placer is running an insurance SCAM.

D Bloom Went to the office of Dr. Placer and his receptionist on the right when you walk in is the most nastiest, disrespectful woman you can meet. She talks about you or other people in Spanish thinking you don’t understand and when you let her know of her disrespect, she blows you off. This was my second visit. Dr. Placer also has no bed side manner whatsoever. He’s arrogant and rude when it comes to explaining any test results. His attitude is just as bad as his receptionist. I would stay clear of this office.

Jorge Nazario I am a doctor And I had never had such an unpleasant experience with another doctor. The way he treated me was very bad. I do not expect special treatment, but if he treats all his patients that way, poor them. At one point I tried to talk about a pain management device and he left the office and left me talking to myself. Well I dont recommend it to anyone

Brandon C. Theres a sign in the office that says a new patient appointment is 1 hr MINIMUM, meaning you’ll be sitting in the back room for 1 hour before you even get to see the doctor. I waited over 1 hr, and then saw the doctor for no more than 3 minutes. He was extremely rude to me; he snapped at me and interrupted me when I was trying to explain my symptoms and bloodwork. He literally had his back to me the entire time before I was rushed out of there. It was a demoralizing experience. I turned down a second appointment.

Cyndi Warren Dr Lodhi is a good doctor in that he knows how to treat RA, but he has the worst bedside manner of any doctor Ive ever been to. For example, he went out of the country from November to December and left no one to refill medicine. I had to go without my meds for a month because of this.

Beverly Kraus This doctor is all about the money, had only 2 visits neither of them lasting more than 5 mins, if you want a doctor who cares this is not your man. He sent me for a lot of bloods that had nothing at all to do with my condition, I now owe $156 to lab quest thats after insurance. At least I know I dont have syphilis.

John Medina First the a/c is not turned on, therefore a full office and everyone suffocating. Second, this so called professional has complete disregard for patients time. Does not care, let them wait. I walked out after one hour inside on the little room.

JENNIFER GUILLEN Bad care from the doctor and nurses, no ethics, zero professionalism, Dr. Abdul Lodhi, seriously the worst doctor who has ever treated me, if you want good care, this is not the one. Better option than waste of time and money I had

Susan B Why is it so difficult to speak to a person on the phone. I went in person to discuss a script that was sent to my pharmacy which was never received. I am now into week three of not being able to get this office to understand they just have to resend a script. You have to leave a message with clinical staff which is never returned. You call and the receptionist will kindly tell you that she is sending a message to the clinical staff. What a surprise, no one calls me or responds. The management at this office is very poor. I will find another digestive care office to go to. Ms. Colon, and Dr. Gomez were helpful and attentive, however, there is something wrong with the office staff and their organization. Fix it folks, people are complaining.

Alice Wagner I have been a patient for over five years. I called for an appointment and left a message. Called again the next day. Calls for appointments were never returned. Finally I went into the office today deciding that was the only way to get an appointment and was told it would be two months even though I was having stomach pains. Made an appointment for the next day with a different practice. Sad that this office is so dysfunctional as AdventHealth has always been my first choice.

Erica Montgomery Aida Colon, ARNP shouldn’t be in practice and should have her license revoked!! She has terrible bedside manner, argues with the patient and then falsifies medical records stating she did an exam when all she did was type on her computer and never touch the patient!! She shouldn’t be allowed to treat patients as I’m scared how many have died because of her poor/ nonexistent care she provides. Additionally the staff has you arrive an hour early for your appointment only to end up waiting 3+ hours for the provider, probably because she is arguing with the patient before you and not listening to their complaints or ailments.. Worst care I have ever experienced and I work in healthcare!! This woman must be stopped before she hurts or kills someone she hasn’t already!

Megan Guerrero I started coming to this office back in February complaining of upper abdominal pain. At first it seemed fine. But then I had to get in touch with the office because the medication I was changed to was unable to be filled due to insurance. After the pharmacy sent multiple faxes to this office regarding this. I started calling. I called several times before a new medication was final sent over. This took weeks, but due to how long I’d had to wait for an appointment almost 3 months I decided to stay so I could get my endoscopy done. Had the procedure done, very nice Dr. but then it was another 3 weeks for a follow up. In the meantime more problems and symptoms started to occur. I tried calling to get a sooner appointment and it was the same thing no one answered. Follow up finally came around and I told Mellisa Belrado the nurse practitioner everything that was going on. And she told me to change my diet (lowfodmap) and she would order a stool test. I did everything she told me to do. My symptoms only got worse instead of better. And my stool test came back abnormal and noone called me. The pain became severe so I went to the E.R. Twice. It wasn’t until the second E.R. Visit that the er dr.found that I have a lower g.i bleed. However because my hemoglobin is stable I was sent home and told to follow up immediately with my gastro. It has been a week since the first er visit and 1 day since the second. I have called non stop since last week Friday leaving message after message and no return call. I even spoke yesterday to nurse Jackie and explained the situation and what was found at the emergency room and was told by Jackie to just go back to the er if I’m not well. And when I tried to explain again to her that I was just released from the er and I need to see my gastro dr immediately for a colonoscopy to find out why I am bleeding inside she she hold and transferred me right back to the same answering machine I have left multiple messages on. I do not understand what the problem is with this office or practice but I am bleeding inside and I have no idea why and I cannot even get a phone call back on the situation. The EMERGENCY ROOM IS NOT MY DR. I have a gastroenterologist for a reason. And I should be able to call my Dr. office and schedule an appointment immediately whenever I need to not to mention when there is clearly a problem happening inside of me. I expect more out of Advent Health Dr offices. And should be able to get proper care.

Rachel DeJesus Dr Gomez is a great doctor however I don’t understand why the staff overbooked patients and when you need a follow up because you were in the ER and were told by the ER doctor to follow up with your gastro doctor you are not able to get an appointment. I too have experience calling the office many times trying to get a quicker appointment leaving messages which the voice message says to leave and they will get back to you In 24 to 48 hours and they don’t call back. 24-48 hours could be fatal for any given patient who has been to the ER with an emergency. Why can’t they leave open appointments for people who might need to see their Gastro Doctor in cases like these. Un fortunately though I like Dr Gomez I must look elsewhere for my treatment. I have been coming to this office since 2013 I’m truly sad to have to leave but my health comes before all else.
