Report
The billing department double charged me for two visits. I double paid and once I realized my mistake I contacted the billing department to have the double payment reversed. Fast forward four months and they stil have not refunded me the overpayment. After leading me on, I was told that there is nothing they can do and that I should call my insurance. It is too late to dispute the charge with my credit company. Englewood Orthopedics sent me the double bills and I paid it to them. My insurance has nothing to do with copay overpayments. After 20 years of using their facility, I expected better.

Management is horrible, they do not know how to Speak to their employees. They are very rude and condescending, they underpay you for all the work you have to do. The hours are also crazy. The director Regina and Samantha needs to be terminated. This is why so many people leave the company, it's literally a revolving door. They hire new people every 2-3 weeks. It's unfortunate because the staff are really nice and helpful.

Dr. Lankachandra is warm, empathetic, and extremely professional. The xray tech was wonderful. The nurse was prompt and kind. Front desk ladies are very nice. I am terrible with names. I wish I could remember all of your names so I could tell google how awesome you are. Only reason I gave 4 stars is due to the wait. I had an appointment and waited over an hour to be seen. My only complaint.

My wife had a severe wrist problem. Dr. Pizzillo was great but the therapist Norman was extremely rude to my wife and my call to speak to the manager was never returned. Norman made a racist remark to my wife because she was late by 15 mins due to a traffic condition in the morning rush hour. He made a reference to her country of origin which had nothing to do with the issue at hand. In this day and age, there were so many things wrong with Norman's remark.
First of all, my wife has been in the US for over 30 years and is a proud tax-paying citizen of the US. Second, his remarks were threatening to my wife. Norman, if you have a problem with my wife, you come and talk to me. I expect you to treat her with the respect that anyone deserves.

Dr. Pizzillo saved my left wrist. I basically smashed it falling off a bicycle. I am a professional pianist and teacher and need my left wrist for my livelihood. This accident was devastating. Dr. Pizzillo is a brilliant hand surgeon and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone! The entire staff is friendly and competent and the office runs like a dream ship. I had my surgery at Englewood Hospital and this was also an excellent experience. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Pizzillo and the people at Englewood Orthopedic!

I waited over 45 minutes, in an empty office. I asked several times when I would be seen. Each time I was met with surprise that I hadn't been seen. Went to see the PA, W. Janes. I guess they don't need office patients. I left, and no one really cared.
