"I have no idea" was his diagnosis. Is he a real doctor?

He is a very distant doctor and doesn’t seem to take interest in his patients. He attended his cellphone during consultation.

March 13, 2017Jonathan S.Verified patient
I am very disappointed by my experience here. I scheduled through Zocdoc and my appointment was not in the system upon arrival. To make matters worse, last week I was originally supposed to have an appointment, though it was cancelled because the doctor would be out all week. This was not reflected on the Zocdoc site, and I was able to schedule an impossible appointment (that was then cancelled and replaced with the one I had today).
Upon arrival, Dr. Suarez did not greet me and mentioned that 'today was crazy'. I explained my symptoms and within a minute I was prescribed medicine without any exploration as to why I am experiencing my symptoms. I did not receive any explanation from Dr. Suarez regarding the reasoning for the medication and I was handed a prescription and sent off to the front desk. I am not comfortable with being prescribed strong medication based on a 45 second explanation of my problem. I will not be visiting this doctor again.

The doctor wasn't even in the office during my scheduled appointment because he was in surgery. When he showed up there were at least 3 patients ahead of me. He spent an hour on one patient and the secretaries even (unprofessionally) commented on it. I ended up waiting until after 4 to be seen for my 2:00 appointment. He didn't really answer any questions I had. I would not visit this doctor again

If you want to waste you time, your money and have a doctor that does NOT care about your well being, then this's your doctor.

It was my first visit and I had to wait well over an 1 1/2 hour for his arrival. I was first on the afternoon list. When the MD finally arrived, he did not apologyzed for his lateness. No physical examination was carried out, no labs, absolutely nothing It was a 15-20 minute questions/response interview. Only a prescription was given. Not a people person. I've been treated by many phsyicians and the majority are true professionals who seek out the best for their patients. That feeling was totally absent with this doctor. Punctuality is important. Many patients do work. Staff was great, kind and professional.

El doctor no es muy amistoso, se notaba apurado y desinteresado.
Doctor is not friendly, seemed to be rushed or indifetent. 2 hours waiting
July 10, 2014Initials hidden
Waiting time was two hours which I always find disrespectful and impolite. That being said, it seems to be a norm in Miami and I haven't been to a doctor in the last 20 years that didn't have that waiting time so, in comparison, the doctor shouldn't rate less than any other doctor based on that regard.
As far as the consultation itself, I was really satisfied and I found the doctor to be very professional. He didn't linger with friendly conversation (which I don't really care for) but I didn't feel rushed and I left feeling that I had been examined properly and received all the information I needed.
So far I will definitely continue to visit Dr. Suarez for any urology problems I might have in the future.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Went through all of my option for treatment including side effects. Dictated all his notes and gave me a copy which helped later when I had a chance to review with my primary MD.

Office staff was professional & friendly. Nurse was also polite & professional. Dr. Suarez was easy to talk to & I felt that he was genuinely listening. I was very satisfied with my visit.

Unfortunately, this doctor was very short and dry with me. I definitely did not feel as if I was welcome. After asking a series of questions, he wrote a few things down and sent me to do some blood work and set up a follow-up appointment. During the follow-up I was not seen by him but by his assistant, which I found infinitely more likable than the doctor himself. There was also some drama between the doctor and the staff. They seemed irritated by him. And the couple other times I returned I was seen by his assistant again. Seems the doctor is far too busy to be bothered by his patients' needs.

Doctor is extremely dry and does not have an empathetic bone in his body. He is very cold and does not deliver any kind of news, whether good or bad, in the manner in which a doctor in his field should.

Office Staff and set up is great. No complaints, the staff seemed to like and know what they are doing it and are custumer service driven trying to accomodate all with a smile and friendliness. Dr. Suarez lack of professionalism, minimal patient contact, undirect eye contact, and ways of delvering message has a lot to be desired. Not a peopleperson.

He seemed bothered to see me and it seemed to me as though I was rushed out of his office only seconds after sitting down. He was actually on his cell phone on a personal call while he was seeing me!?
