I'd rather not go into details but I would not recommend or ever go back. His diagnosis are not…read morereliable and his billing company are not to be trusted.

I read a Yelp review that stated Barbi, the nurse/office manager/appointment giver/prescription…read moreexecuter - all roads lead to Barbi - is a liar. I don't know if she is, so you decide if she is a liar or if the doctor has little care for his patients, or at least me. I'm the person who baked holiday cookies for them at my first appointment, after chatting with Barbi when I made the appointment and who gifted Barbi's two big dogs huge dog toys. Since becoming a patient 3 months ago, I contacted the office with 2 requests - once when I was having significant issues stemming from being undermedicated and once when I was having serious side effects, for weeks, after trying to 'get used to' the meds. Both times I spoke with Barbi and, per her suggestion, emailed her with detailed info to help the doctor understand my issues. Both times Barbi told me that she'll tell the doctor/the doctor "is aware" of my inquiry/"the doctor will call you today". I never got a call from the doctor. I also saw on the patient portal that they put another patient's info in my chart - I only wish I was 5'7" but the 16" neck I can do without. They also put down results of exams I didn't have - at my first and only in-person appointment, since they prefer virtual appointments, no one took my vitals. So some other patient's height, weight, blood pressure, and BMI are in my record. Even though I was not assessed for cardiovascular, respiratory, balance, reflexes, gait, sleep, psychiatric, etc. abilities, my patient record shows that I was assessed. My medical history and dosage of my one daily med was inaccurate and when I emailed screen shots of inaccurate info, Barbi didn't make changes. I finally emailed her a list of the issues and she removed the info instead of correcting it. During my last virtual appointment, I told the doctor my one daily med is still showing at half the dose I take. Barbi never fixed it. I don't think that the doctor and nurse are horrible people, but I question their actual concern for the patient, at least when I was the patient. Was. As in I didn't appreciate the lip service and lack of concern for me. When we don't feel well or have a condition that requires treatment, we are at the mercy of the medical profession. I learned to put more emphasis on PROFESSION, as in professional. When I asked myself, "do I feel that this is the height of professional care?"I FLED from their office, that was on day 4 after I reported concerning issues and the doctor STILL hadn't contacted me as Barbi promised. So, you decide if one is a liar or if one is unprofessional and disinterested in providing actual care. When I forwarded another doctor my email sent to Dr. Steinberg about the side effects, that doctor immediately scheduled a virtual appointment that day and prescribed a different medication. Night meet day. I went from one doctor whose office sluggishly promised action and then did nothing, to another doctor who couldn't help me enough. And beware, Dr. Steinberg gets paid the negotiated rate from the insurance company and then seeks the balance of his nearly $600 per session fee from the patient. Wow, questionable service doesn't come cheap.

Don't let that smiling face at the top of this page fool you. Allow me to tell you why I've come to…read morethat conclusion... I arrived 25 minutes early for my appointment and was advised immediately by an aggressively rude receptionist that she left a voicemail message on my phone the day before to confirm my appointment. She said I didn't call back so my appointment was "automatically" canceled. "But," I told her, "I received no call." And I took off from work,"Perhaps and I'm here now." She glared at me. I thought to myself, "Perhaps, she was right. So, I paused, took out my phone, and looked through it, but no voicemail message from Zaret's office was shown (I don't erase my voicemail messages), and no "missed" call was displayed on that list of incoming and outgoing calls. I told her my findings and handed my phone to the obstinate receptionist. She implored loudly she had called and left a message and showed me the call on her computer. (Did the computer call?) She recited the number she dialed--and it was mine. I gently prodded my phone into her hand, and she took it. She browsed through the "missed calls" and "voice mails." There were none from this office. She said appointments are canceled if a call doesn't result in a confirmation or callback, and as calmly and politely as I could, so as not to escalate, I asked her if she saw the office telephone number on my phone. She replied, "you'll have to make another appointment, the doctor won't see you today."   I wasted well over an hour getting to this office from mine for the opportunity to participate in this disturbing and nonsensical conversation. Just then, the receptionist whispered something to a front-office colleague, who walked through a door in the back of the reception area and disappeared. It seemed as if this minion was told an error was made, it was her mistake, and the doctor should see me. Several minutes later the underling returned and whispered to the receptionist. I was certain I'd finally get the opportunity to meet with the doctor on a matter my internist told me was important. Very important.  But the smiling doc in the picture you see on this page told the minion to say he'd left the office. But another physician from the practice, Dr. Ramesh Gopalswamy, would see me. Maybe I was being pawned off to a lesser neurologist, I didn't know. But I wanted to be seen by someone and, especially, get myself out of this chaotic noisy reception/waiting area to stand before a qualified medical professional. After another wait, I was greeted by a young man who wasn't big on conversation, he weighed me, took my blood pressure, and "interviewed" me so the doctor wouldn't have to stoop to such nonsense, including establishing a relationship with a new patient. But, in fact, Dr. Gopalswamy was a breath of fresh air. I asked him to help me pronounce his name. He did, with a smile. When I tried again, he suggested I call him "Dr. G. Everybody here does." We had a good, albeit short, appointment. I was sent for tests. Those tests came back to him, and I scheduled another appointment to review them. I arrived 20 minutes early and was forced to wait well past the scheduled time in that noisy, irritating, and chaotic waiting room. My tests showed nothing about which to be concerned.  I'm new to South Florida and am accustomed to university faculty practices. Doctors practicing in medical schools are focused on their patients. It's become evident to me that this may not be the case in private practices.  It's my conclusion that, like so many docs these days, Bruce Zaret, who seems to be the exalted leader of this pack, is interested in increasing his income from the practice of medicine. He schedules more people than he can see, limits the time his colleagues can spend with a patient, has an army of poorly paid clerical and paramedical people doing his front work, and doesn't care about his reputation, his patients' schedules, or the practice of medicine. After some quick and cursory Internet research, it seems he may have over 40 offices staffed with doctors and support staff, and again, this is my personal impression, he couldn't care less about the health of just one insignificant patient. So, be wary of what you "read" into the smile you see in the photo atop this page.

I have been seeking Dr. Zaret for 19 years now. He always treats me as a whole person and not a…read morediagnosis. I'm honored to be his patient and I will continue to be one.

I started seeing Dr Sonia Kalirao a couple of years ago. I will never be going to see her again…read morebecause over the past 2 years I have continued to receive the wrong prescriptions called in for me that her and I have discussed face to face. Most recently I saw her 5 weeks ago today which is February 16th 2026, and we discussed a new prescription for me with a higher milligram to help me with my issue. Since then it has NEVER been called into my Pharmacy correctly. I have called her office at least 15 times to try to get this matter resolved. Everyone I talk to assures me it will be taken care of and of course it never is. I did call my insurance provider and they said it is totally covered however her staff or herself continue to call in the WRONG milligram that we discussed . I am livid, not to mention in unneeded severe pain . I did ask to speak to a supervisor and was told my issue had been given to one ,and no one has ever called me back to discuss this with me . This is the most unprofessional and uncaring office as well as manner for a doctor and her staff to take care of their patients with lack of concern . So as it turns out when I went to my primary doctor last week he of course sees the report that Dr Kalirao made in her notes, and she NEVER called the new prescription in . I'm disgusted and there is no excuse for this . I would be extremely surprised if their office contacted me to apologize for all the aggravation and pain , phone calls, and time that I have had to endure with my last visit with Dr Kalirao, with the pharmacy, as well as my insurance company...

We made an appointment with Dr Kalirao (one of the few neurologists who accepted my husband's…read moreinsurance, but that's another story) at the urging of his primary physician. The person on the phone made the appointment for the first available date - a month later. Turns out, the doctor was on vacation on that date, which we didn't find out till we went to the office and which the scheduler should have known. Next available appointment was in another month, unless we were willing to drive to the Ft Lauderdale office. We took the earlier appointment and spent the better part of a day to take care of it. That office is small and much less crowded, we were to find out later. Dr Kaliroa made an almost instant diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, ordered tests and prescribed meds, with no explanation as to what they were for or how much they cost (a lot), or what we were to expect. She seemed kind and knowledgable, but the appointment was rushed and we didn't get to ask too many questions. My husband has other issues which may or may not have been in play. So we left a little bewildered - had to go home and look up "Parkinson's disease" which of course only caused more confusion. The office staff however was relaxed and friendly, even joking with us, and Michael, her assistant was wonderful. Second follow-up appointment was at the Coral Springs office. We waited in a standing room only waiting room for an hour and 20 minutes, before being shown into the examination room, where we waited for another 20 minutes. The office staff was rushed, brusque, and the receptionist didn't even look up when speaking to us. There was an extra $5 charge for using a credit card. Dr Kaliroa was herself very rushed when she came into the room. She prescribed a new medication. We had prepared our questions, but only got to ask one of them before it was clear she was not paying attention, examining a chart and then excusing herself. Turns out the new medication absolutely CANNOT be taken with another he is taking (which is on his list) and I would never have known this without doing my own research after he showed a definite decline in his wellness. We stopped that drug and made an appointment with his primary, to get some answers finally and some clarity. Bottom line: Dr Kaliroa seems like a competent doctor, if you have her full attention. And despite the frustration we had, was nice enough. But the practice is huge - HUGE! - and obviously beyond extremely busy. Schedule the Ft Lauderdale office for a more patient-friendly visit if you can. Make sure they know you plan to ask questions and may take a minute. Tell them while making the appointment, and again when you arrive. You will need to be your own advocate here. Kudos to Izabella at the front desk, and to Michael - both personable, kind, and professional. We'll be changing insurance this fall, and looking for another neurology office.
