On July 3 2018, I had sinus surgery. This created so much swelling, I was unable to breathe through my nose and was unable to sleep for 7 days afterward. Being bipolar, this lead to a manic state. Mania can be a very dangerous condition that can wreck lives and cause hospitalizations. When I pointed this out in an attempt to obtain a sleeping aid that would work for me, she obviously thought that I was just drug-seeking and threatening and manipulating her. She would not prescribe a med without seeing me, even though I had previously had it filled by a former psychiatric provider, and would not see me FOR ANOTHER 6 DAYS, during which I would continue to have severe insomnia and mania. And even then, there was no guarantee; she seemed very reluctant to listen to me or cooperate. She either didn’t believe me or didn’t care—not sure which is worse. Terry represents the worst kind of medical provider who stigmatizes, doesn’t understand and mistreats patients who unfortunately have mental illness.

Dr Travis Dwyer told me he was experienced with a simple ankle procedure. I had a list of questions my Orthopedic doctor had told me to ask. Dr Dwyer said he was experienced with this simple procedure which he was not, in fact he had never did this surgical procedure and was using me to teach himself. This all became apparent post op when my ankle joint was hanging out the side of my leg, my foot up on the side making it difficult to get around. I continued to request him to do xrays to see what the problem was and he would not do them. He did tell me sine they are a teaching facility he was going to teach this procedure. Now if he already had the experience this would of never came up. He has crippled me, destroyed my life and I still may have to have an amputation. I finally went back to the Orthopedic doctor but the damage was so extensive there was nothing he could do he referred me to an expert to try to reconstruct my leg, ankle and foot with plates, rods, screws and grafts. The Orthopedic doctor said the surgery Dwyer did was not what he did and the expert told me no doctor can ever cut through the bone in which Dr Dwyer did this would happen. The Doctors had never seen any surgeon use that surgical technique. What made it worse is instead of Dr Dwyer sending to someone to fix his errors he continued to have me come in 6 months for post op appointments. He knew there were horrible problem he didn't refer me out asap to someone that may of been able to help so the damage was not so extensive. Not only did the ankle bone die but I had dead bones on the foot and the leg bone all because he remained negligent. He was trying to figure out how to hide this negligent mistake which only made the damage worse. Per the infectious disease doctor I would of became sepsis and probably died. the bottom line is he was negligent pre and post op. The state in which I live (DE) has the medical board and recently arrested a doctor for medicare fraud and identity theft of his minor patients. The consumer advocate group noted DE is not know for disciplining like the other States. Attorneys don't want cases unless there are millions being net into their pocket and my leg hasn't been amputated yet therefore the case wasn't worth as much and my statue expired. I had a good salary until he touched me. While I was trying to obtain an attorney I came across one that had a current case and this man had an amputation. A few months ago a lady sent me a message through FB asking if I was the person who posted a previous review on this Doctor, she to has issues from his surgery and is trying to seek medical attention elsewhere to see if it can be corrected. Do not trust this doctor, Do not let this doctor touch you unless you want to gamble with your ability to walk or live. He should be charged with 1st degree assault but all doctors are above the law. If they are charged it has to go through the corrupt medical board first.

Lousy Doctor - Drove 40 minutes to see this doctor and she abandon me excuses were made as if my time was not important. 40 minutes to see some woman named Ashley. Waste of Everyones time. Learn to use a telephone if you not available. Angela Guzzetta reinforces one truth among all veterans they think were garbage and can not be bothered. Is it to much to ask to show up on time. I did it for 20 years. What is it with the va hiring these doctors not sure witch is worse Angela guzzetta or my cable guy who shows up sometime between 8 an 12 off at lunch and 1 and 5 pm. Management stinks in this place. If anyone if us Veterans did we would be AWOL or in the brig.

I am glad someone is finally using Elon Musk to solve some serious government problems but he can only suggest. Elon Musk has no power. I think we all wish he did to be able to have an HR department or a complaint office front in center who would actually investigate a veterans complaint instead of file 13 every single complaint due to doctors protections inside every VA accessible to every veteran not tucked away hidden in the back of some campus is not conducive to veterans trust. Congress has a higher approval rating and that isnt saying much. It allows poor doctors like Lenka Stankova who are hated by young and old veterans, who waste taxpayer dollars do more harm then good to flourish on every Veterans Hospital Campus because they are protected. We have more then a few Lenka Stankovas at my VA. Doctors who should have been shown the door a long time ago but enjoy the government protections and the thrill of screwing up Americas Heroes with no recourse.

This review is in reference to a United Healthcare virtual visit on July 3, 2022. I'm a 49 year old male who has suffered through anxiety and sleep related issues. To give a little more background I'd previously spoken with 2 other doctors on June 30 and July 2, also through UHC virtual care. But unlike this experience, those two were 5 stars. I originally called because at the time I was going through severe withdrawal symptoms after having to abruptly stop a sleep/anxiety medicine. I had a scheduled appointment with a new primary care physician on July 8 but I had no idea what to expect from the new doctor, plus I needed some immediate relief from the withdrawal symptoms which were making it almost impossible for me to sleep. The first doctor, William Errico, DO was extremely helpful and prescribed a 30 day supply of .1 mg Clonidine to help me. He was friendly and I immediately felt comfortable with him. On July 2, I spoke with Karen Beers, NP. At this point I hadn't noticed much effect from the Clonidine and was looking to gather a little more input on things. She was very patient and helpful and gave me some good suggestions on natural remedies to help with my issue. The 5-HTP she recommended has worked very well for me. By late evening July 2/early July 3 I noticed the Clonidine was starting to have a positive effect. I was still apprehensive about what to expect from the new doctor and I felt that I could possibly gain some more insight from talking to a third doctor and possibly get a refill on the Clonidine since it was beginning to work for me. Plus I had no idea whether a new pcp would even prescribe it. My mistake was getting Lisa Primiani. From the beginning she projected a cold, unfeeling demeanor and I felt uncomfortable with her. The only good thing about the visit was there was no cost because it was fully covered under my insurance. But in this case I got what I paid for. She tended to use the word "unfortunate" a lot but the truly unfortunate thing was this visit. Well, where do I begin? I clearly stated my issue and my concerns and her first response was that I'd already had 3 previous visits with other doctors (it was only 2 - the first visit with Dr. Errico was accidentally disconnected before it had begun). In essence, this made me feel very uncomfortable. Like I'd already called several times already and why was I wasting her time? This isn't what she stated word for word, but it was clearly the impression that I got. To quote a phrase from my 13 year old daughter, it was a "cringe worthy" moment. It got worse from there. At this point I knew I was wasting my time, but I decided to approach the subject of giving me a Clonidine refill. I stated the reasons for this as I did earlier in this review. Her response was basically if I'd taken the whole bottle already then I had a serious problem. These weren't the exact words but they're nearly identical. My initial reaction was complete shock. I honestly don't have words for it. At the time, this comment kind of reminded me of an old lady with a serious case of dementia who will pretty much blurt out the worst possible thing. I was like, no way, she didn't really say that! Also, if I'd actually taken the whole 30 day supply of Clonidine in 3 days then chances are that I probably wouldn't have been having this conversation in the first place. Another truly cringe worthy moment. Unlike the previous 2 doctors, she offered me nothing. Well, actually she did. She offered me an excuse. She stated that her specialty was not "chronic" issues but rather short-term issues or something to that effect. Well, I'll make it a point the next time that I call a telehealth doctor to tell my body not to have a "chronic" issue but a short-term one instead. One word of advice for this doctor, actually 2 words, smile more. A little friendliness goes a long way. I'd love to see the world of telehealth become a kinder place as exemplified by my visits with the first 2 doctors. Every patient out there deserves nothing less.

A man comes into my shop yesterday. I should say young man he still had all his hair and complained about the noise under his hood of his cutlass when he turned left and right. My first thought was this guys has taste and oldie but a goodie. I told the kid to pop his hood and lets take a look. My second thought was the power steering pump the hose had a leak BONE DRY. My 3rd thought was surprised he could turn at all. My final thought was this guy is an IDIOT and how much of a stankova this guy is to not check is fluids and how unsafe it must have been to drive like that. My father taught me to check the fluids in the station wagon when i was like 9 years old and I taught both of my kids to check the fluids at a very early age. My daughter still checks the fluids and shes 35. To all you Gen Z stankovas out there who got rich during covid or dumb during covid POP the hood of your car please, pull the dipstick and check the oil, and the power steering fluid regularly. While your under there check the water in the radiator and the windshield wiper fluid and tire pressure before you put us old people in danger. Stop being a stankova, grow up, get your acts together and stop blaming your parents for everything thats wrong in your life. Henry - MI

The nurse practitioner Erica, started off by telling me she would not be there much longer. I went for two issues, a post op which she didn't bother to check and fmla papers which I was advised that the doctor would determine if she could when I made the appt. Just to be told by the nurse practitioner that the doctor does not "generally" complete these forms. Why are we speaking in generalities? I am referring to a speciic issue. Which one is it? If I had been told the doctor generally did not do these and that the nurse practitioner would be leaving and wouldn't bother checking my incisions then I would not have made an appt. She couldn't fill out my forms "generally" but she could prescribed me sleeping medication specifically because medication is what I apparently need, not time. But co pay is always collected promptly. What a joke. I must say the office staff has also changed since I began. What used to be a lovely experience can now be likened to getting a tooth extracted. During another visit, I was charged for a visit I canceled and was advised the day of the occurrence that i would be given a credit only to be spoken to rather nastily by someone else on the day of my actual visit advising me I had a co pay. I advised that I spoke with someone else and they said they would notate the chart. To which the response was "well she is not here". And then the person proceeded to stand there as if this would make a differencence to me. What made it worse is that no one was getting my chart ready as if I would not be seen for a pre-op appt I must add. After some time, the nurse finally told me to have a seat (and I am assuming decided to do her job) at which point she comes out the door and tells me what I already knew. During this exchange I am preparing myself to present the charge showing on my statement when i noticed I was charged slightly more (I will admit it was not much) but it was more than my co-pay). When I inquired about it, I was told that the girl who input my card information (even though my appt was canceled) saw I had a small balance and tried to call me but could not reach me (that's funny because I have updated my number and had several telahealth appts on my current number). Instead of waiting to see me (which I was an active patient) and advising me of the additional balance they took it when taking the copay they should not have. I advised that this is never to be done without my consent again, I don't care about the amount. (Can someone also tell me how the front desk person did not know i paid but was able to tell me the scenario for which my card was charged and also able to tell me why the additional charge occurred?) Yeah right. My experiences prior to these recent experiences were always very good and my interactions with prior nurse practitioners and staff (who are all no longer there) had been great. My interactions with Dr. Hamawy have always been wonderful, however she needs to become aware that the people she hires represent her and currently they are doing a very poor job.

Worked at the VA for years. No doctor ever makes 750 000 year thats a lie 5 PINOCCHIOS most make closer to 250 000 with a bonus in the range of 15 000 even the ones that are truly bad. One of the greatest benefits of doctors who work for the government is they have a huge advantage over other doctors. VA physicians hold a federal license to practice at all VA hospitals. If you want to transfer elsewhere in the country, you can and thats what frequently happens to the bad ones because its a federal job with civil service protections they are just TRANSFERED OUT AND NOT FORCED TO IMPROVE. More than 1,250 VA medical centers are spread throughout all 50 states, U.S. territories, and the Philippines. If your spouse needs to move for their career or you just want a change of scenery, you can move wherever you need to. You’ll keep your pay, seniority, and benefits. This is a considerable advantage when compared to traditional medical licensing. When you work at an ordinary hospital or private practice, your state license doesn’t allow you to practice outside the state—except for some limited restrictions like neighboring states or urgent medical emergencies. If you want to move, you have to go through the licensing process all over again.

I met with dr mattilano and was pleased with the meeting. I tried to speak with him Over the next five months but his receptionist would not make an appointment. I had to explain any concerns or symptoms to her but still no call back. She is cold as Ice and has little interest in the clients. Problems with MRI and referral to ongologist—-she gets supper defensive right away and when there are problems she says “I did my job” She has no interest in helping people navigate the system. My experience with the doctor was reasonable but she sure makes the clinic look bad. Real bad. Maybe one day she will need the kindness of the medical system....I hope she finds a job she is more suited to....a place where you don’t have to talk to people
