My view is the Doctor was not friendly and did not listen to my complaint or give me precise feedback of his findings.

Pleasant. Addressed my concerns. Wait time was just terrible. But he does have loyal patients who doesn't mind waiting.

Very nice man, but I waited far longer than I needed. I was scheduled for 3:30 and didn't see the doctor until 7.

April 3, 2013Kentravius F.Verified patient
The wait times are way too long. It seems like he may need another physician, or assistant in the office with him. Every aspect of testing (bloodwork, etc...) is too compartmentalized. My annual physicals are usually quicker and more compact.
March 24, 2019Jamel W.Verified patient
This guy is a joke and its apparent his staff is part of this circus. Because I respect people's time - I moved mountains to make my 4:00 PM appointment - left work early and arranged someone to pick up my son from school just so I could be there on time (signed in at 3:50 PM). Dr. Joker walks in at 5:32 PM with no apology or sign of concern. When asked if 90 minutes was the typical wait time for patients - the joker said, "I don't know" and went on the defensive about some "emergency" he had and wasn't near a phone to call and inform his staff to call patients and let them know. I do appreciate the ONLY person in there with any sort of customer service and empathy - I don't know her name but if you make the mistake of joining this circus - you'll know who she is.

My visit was handled with great details
September 16, 2017Valerie N.Verified patient
This doctor is highly recommeded however wait time is exhausting. They do not follow appointment time. I waitied over 2 hrs and 30 mins for two seperate referrals to go to his other office for two seperate days and the othrr office wait time is just as worse. Otherwise he is a great doctor but wait time is unacceptable.
June 19, 2017Markisha D.Verified patient
Since this practice is in my neighborhood, I decided to give them a try. However, on the day of my first appointment, the office called and told me the doctor would not be in. The following week, I called and asked them to fax a doctor's note to my supervisor stating that I had an appointment that day and it was cancelled on their end. I was told that I would not receive a note until after I reschedule and have been seen by the doctor. No thank you! I'll take my business elsewhere.

September 21, 2015Cheyenne T.Verified patient
The office staff did not operate in a very professional manner. Their attitude seems to carry the complacency of the Caribbean. As a matter of fact I called twice and left messages for the doctor to call me back and never received a return call. I wanted to discuss something about my procedures. I called a third time and this was to request a transfer of all my medical records to another doctor. I was completely disappointed so I changed physicians.
July 15, 2015Stay A.Verified patient
Wouldn't recommend here ever unless it's a emergency. Had a appointment for 3:30 got there at 3 didn't get seen til 5:02. The whole time the doctor wasn't even in, he came or showed up at 4:30 like it was cool.
August 6, 2015Georges C.Verified patient
My appointment was for 5pm; I arrived 45 minutes prior to my appointment and wasn't seen until 7:30pm. The doctor has miss billed my insurance and because they are to lazy to re-bill using the correct billing codes they decided to send me a bill for the service, NEVER AGAIN!

I was about 20 mins late for my appointment , but still had to wait almost 2 1/2 hours for a 10 talk with the doctor, for her to tell me nothing is wrong with me. She did no test just simply stated nothing was wrong with me based off of a few questions

My appointment was at 3:30. I arrived at the office 10 minutes before my scheduled time to be told that the doctor was not yet in the office. I was finally seen close to 6:00. He is a great doctor, but I will never go again due to that experience.

If you like to wait 2+ hours to see a doctor in a small claustrophobic office while inexperienced staff attend to your needs then by all means make and appointment.

In this fast pace and constantly changing profession of health and medicine Dr. Badero, truly is a consistently outstanding and amazing doctor. He takes the time with each patient to ensure that they leave his office will no uncertainty. All of my personal question an inquiries were addressed during my visit. Dr. Badero uses the most up to date medical technology and equipment which provides rapid result such as the EKG/sonogram . Also, what I noticed most about my visit today was the friendliness of his staff and the immaculate cleanliness of Dr. Bedero's entire medical office.

Never keeps appointment times, receptionist lies about the times the doctor will be there. When you go to the appointment for your scheduled time, he's not even in his office yet.
