Absolutely awful. Front desk and x ray technicians were amazing amd super nice. But as far as the doctor, he was an absolute waste of time, I went in for my pelvis, he examined the wrong hip, and then diagnosed me with back issues that I don't have. He then scolded me like a child on my way out for misplacing something in the office. I wouldn't recommend Dr tissenbaum to my worst enemy. Complete waste of time.

Haven't even got passed waiting area. 1 person at registration. Literally were 15 patients in line at one point and just realized mom's appointment is with the doctor with most complaints. I'm ready when we get in there.

Dr Molinero is arrogant, condescending, and blatantly refuses to answer any questions he feels he's above answering. He's a trash human & not much better as a surgeon. Highly recommend finding somewhere else.

I would give this place 0 stars if it would let me. Dr molinero was the rudest person i ever met. Basically told me i had to decide my own treatment for my broken arm and when i asked for his medical opinion he sd he wasn't a fortune teller, if he was he would play the lottery and bet sports games. If you can't give me a medical opinion then what is the point of even seeing a doctor isn't that their job?

Every time I ask him a question he would give me attitude and totally rude answers if he would answer at all. he put me in the wrong brace and it is four months later now and I still can't move my arm. I had to switch doctors and my new dr couldn't believe the horrible care that I received if you could call it that at all. The secretaries wasn't much better when I called to get my records transferred they basically wouldn't do it because they were mad I was switching doctors. Unbelievable this place is even allowed to be called a doctors office. If you want any type of care at all dont go here.

Absolute scam. They charged me over $650 for a brace that costs $100 online and $150 to "apply splint" that I applied myself. $1100, and $350 after insurance for them to hand me a splint and tell me to go to another hand specialist. Go elsewhere.

Had a high ankle sprain. They never gave me any information on what to do to help it heal. 8 weeks later, the PA saw me. guess the regular doctor was too busy. Told me that I should have been doing physical therapy to help heal. A year later still in pain. Not very happy with them, they did nothing to help me but give me a boot to wear. I would go to any other orthopedic group.

I had an appointment with Dr Nabors for treatment for a herniated disc. I am in severe pain in my shoulder, bicep, elbow, forearm and a couple of numb fingers. According to his Professional Summary, skills include " Dedicated to providing the highest quality patient care with up-to-date treatment and skills" What that really means is I'll give you 2 minutes, write a script for pain pills, suggest PT and come back in 2 weeks.

I learned more about my injury from the internet. Why the hell would i go back? More pills? Why 2 stars? Dr Hennessy is worth 6. I meet with him the day prior and he went above and beyond to help me.

Husband had rotator cuff surgery. I will state this for a fact! After surgery the office was completely rude! They left him high and dry and after 12 days status post surgery was told go back to work! Lots more to this story of rudeness and absokutely no patient care but I will leave it at this! I do not recommend at all! If I could give zero I would.

This has been the worst doctors office staff I have ever had to deal with. My husband is a patient there, not myself. He is having surgery in a week. I have been sending them claims papers for a month for fmla time for his care, always with a cover letter explaining. I call immediately after faxing it and they tell me they received it but yet each week they lose the paperwork without ever sending it to my fmla claim agency.

This week after being denied fmla time because of this they finally sent it. They filled it out incorrectly, so I'm still denied. When I called to ask them to correct it and fax again the office staff gave me attitude and talked over me not even listening to my request for the information I needed from her. I have been crying all week and am at a loss for what to do for post operative care for my husband now.

I suffer from knee pain in both knees. Dr. Molinero and his staff have helped me so much and I am so grateful. I am not ready for surgery and they discussed a variety of options to relieve the pain. Recently he suggested Euflexa. I was ready to try it but insurance problems started Sarah in their office really helped me through it she went over and beyond my expectations.

Finally I started the therapy for 3 weeks and yes injections were involved every week. My PA was just wonderful gentle patient to make it as painless as possible. My knee pain is gone and my quality of life is so much better. My team Dr. Molinero, my PA, Sarah and the staff have been fantastic and I appreciate their help and kindness so much. I have been treated with respect and compassion and everyone contributed to help me feel so much better, walk normally again and keep up with my Grandchildren which is a joy. Thank You all so much.

Highly disappointed in customer service. Very unprofessional and rude. They told me that they have other patients to see and my employer paperwork didn't matter and they didn't have time for it. Then you don't have time for me. I'LL NEVER GO BACK IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! Save yourself some grief and find another practice as I did.
