He have had trouble with communication and the doctor not caring. Please contact the medical board if you having trouble with the office or doctors. This is the only way things change for the better.

I was very disappointed today. I had booked an appointment at 815 am with dr Salini patori today. I arrived on time for the appointment. I waited for almost 45 minutes but doctor did not show up. This is very disgraceful. My precious time was wasted due to such behavior. I was not able to give zero star otherwise I wouldn't even have given one star.

I have been coming to this drs office for my thyroid underacting. During my last visit the PA kept talking to me and referencing diabetes and such. I don't have diabetes.just because I am obese does not mean I have diabetes. If you spent to seconds looking at my chart you would see that I am at this office for my thyroid. I will be getting a new specialist. Everytime I see the Dr she sees me for two seconds, talks to the nurse or PA and nothing to me.the worse case of bed side manner I have ever received.

So although I have never been here, I will go ahead and give it 1 star because I have been rescheduled now two times, both times having to completely rearrange my work schedule. Reschedule me once? Fine. Doctor had a personal emergency, I understand. Of course the only time open was in 2 weeks, so i take the time and stay optimistic. Here they are calling me again, AFTER they already did an appt confirmation and are saying i need to get rescheduled again. Oh, but this time, nothing open until another 2 weeks.
So clearly whatever is happening in my body can be delayed 1-2 months no problem without an alternative solution for me. This is just bad business practice and on top of that, getting a hold of them is impossible. call 7 times to get them to pick up.

Many problems with follow through at this office. Been seeing Dr Gangi for almost 2 years with visits every 3 months. Any time I need an RX filled or sent, there's always a problem that takes a very long time to resolve - easy resolutions, just getting correspondence and correct info is difficult. Recently, I've called 4 or 5 times and left messages or expected a call back in the last 6 weeks to get RX problems figured out and schedule labs for an appointment - NO one calls back. Really need an office manager to audit all processes and maybe let some people go. sorry to say
