There was cancer, which spread during this three months, and it has become extremely serious. Had he reported his findings in a timely manner, we could have removed the cancer by surgery. I have now had to have a colostomy and returning to chemo as the cancer has continued to spread througout my abdomen. This doctor has RUINED my life, and his office is incapable of makeing or returning phone calls. For 3 months I attempted to reach them, leaving voice mail after voice mail with no response. He failed to report to the oncologist, he failed to communicate with ANYONE. AVOID THIS DOCTOR AND OFFICE IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH.

However, I have to praise one of his partners; Dr. Bianchi. She recently came down here and has been a godsend. She burst into my hospital room (during my most recent visit due to Crohns) and immediately took charge with an eagerness to help and fix whatever problems I had. Bianchi is truly a doctor's doctor. She has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. There is nothing she isn't willing to help fix and she seems to genuinely love what she does. If you're ever in need of a colorectal surgeon- which, I genuinely hope you are not- do not hesitate ; go see these doctors!!

Dr…read more Riner took me as a patient with Crohn's Disease and GAVE...Not only was he extremely comforting and reassuring me that we can get on top of both diseases and get it under control. I was very concerned as I did not know about GAVE (Watermelon Stomach) and what causes it and what can be done. Dr. Riner took me as a patient and felt that with both diseases affecting my stomach and colon I should further see a specialist and has been very proactive on getting me to a clinic in Orlando. His staff is very friendly, his PA is very educated and patient friendly, and he is very comforting. Thanks for not letting me down Dr. Riner and keeping me confident in my health.

They only received one star only because their staff was friendly and courteous. As for the process…read moreof being served, that was another story. It was requested we arrive at 0930. We arrived about 10 minutes earlier, signed in and waited. There was a waiting room full of patients as well as spouses. We waited from 0920 to 1140 AM before my wife was taken in for her procedure. We understand there was only one doctor, out of the six [6] on staff as noted with their pictures in the lobby. There were seventeen [17] patients scheduled according to the intake person. This practice only cares about their appointments, how much money they will make and nothing about the rest of the people waiting around for HOURS. We have to wait and be happy about paying for the privilege of waiting to be served. My perception is that this practice does not value the patient's time, only theirs. If they could schedule properly there is no reason to have people waiting over two [2] hours to be admitted and prepared for their procedures. When we left the last patient was coming out of procedure and this was at one-twenty [1:20] PM. It is absolutely unnecessary to have people stacked up in a queue in the waiting area if they knew how to properly schedule their procedures. They want the patient at the ready for their own convenience. Therefore, the patient MUST wait to accommodate the practice. Seems to me that the tail is wagging the dog. Apparently, they do not. This says a great deal of how this practice perceives their patients.

Made eye contact, was pleasant, informative, also strongly urged me to get COVID vaccine (which btw never passed one test at Pfizer, killed subjects &/or permanently damaged organs). Never saw him again for over a yr to my final BG appt.) 2 appts w PA Dottie Porter, alert, abrupt. I asked a few quest's w her having "one foot out the door"; then rude, hurried, impersonal, advised I had fatty liver,rushed to exit. Upon inquiry fr someone on staff, I was told Pts r allotted "SIX (6) (timed)MIN" per visit. Seemed like talking WITH Pt. was an inconven. like "pulling teeth".Had MRI liver: inadeq.pic. CT scan ordered. Std i had inflamed liver duct. Next appt,Ms.Porter rushes in, sits,looks down & states: "Now i don't want you to speak bc i don't want u asking ques's while I'm talking!". Proceeded to cite @100 mph what causes were elimin'd that wd explain high ALP. No time for ques's.by her or me! I std, "But I've had fluctuating elevated ALP for yrs." Her response, "Well I didnt KNOWW that! Why didn't you TELLL me?!"(I assumed that was a joke.) Wasn't rocket science to recognize the order of ea appt was: PA to hurriedly sp in as few words as necess, Pt to listen, tests ordered, "session" over, per boilerplate routine.I had to persist over her obvious annoyance & dismissiveness to ADVOCATE FOR MYSELF (frustrating & exhausting). Then burst out: "WE recommend u have a liver biopsy; we'll let u know when it's scheduled!" I asked if anything else cd b done by process of elimination prior to a biopsy.End result, no. She std "We find" many Pts. have liver cancer & don't know it till they die. After she exited, I asked Shannon (asst?) w pompous rude attitude, for copy of ALL reports in file, incl my prev PCP lab results i instructed lab to send to BG. She adamantly stated: "We don't give them out!" (huh?) I asked, "How can that be? They're MY reports," to which she rudely corrected "NO THEY'RE NOT! WE DON'T GIVE THEM OUT!" (It crossed my mind "Who's practice is this anyway??!!") If attitude, ofc.procedure, 6-min timed visits are all designed by Drs FOR Drs, then this is a well-oiled moneymaking machine -- odds are @ Pts' expense! Called front desk to say I'd seek 2nd opn & didn't want biopsy sched.Next sched.appt, Ms. Porter was waiting for me, braced, behind closed door of exam rm! Fr standing position, outraged voice.std the second i entered: "You SHOULDN'T BE HERE if u got a 2nd opn or if ur going w another Dr" to which I responded this appt was scheduled & I had some F/U quest's abt the need for a biopsy. I was met w stepped-up "Cuckoo's-Nest" intonation, condescension, dramatic arm waving, totally unprofessional & upsetting to Pts. I asked for her opn on ALP FLUCTUATION. No response.I asked what she was seeking fr CT. She didnt know.I said main sympt Ive had for a very long time was extreme fatigue. She std this was not her area & ref'd me to my PCP. I std I was leery of liver biopsy proced descr online & its prematurity. She reprimanded me, an adult, for getting info online stating if I needed info I SHOULD'VE ASKED HER (another joke).I wonder why it's not impt for Pt tb fully informed abt biopsy proced, etc. upfront, armed to make an educated decision. I ended w saying I was surprised Dr. Patel did not think it impt to sp w me HIMSELF abt something as impt as a liver biopsy.Ms. Porter turned defiantly defensive re her credentials, then patronized me with:"but if you wannnt to sp w Dr. Patel,we can cerrrtainly make an appt.for you!"Did not troubleshoot EVERY possible cause, excessive GERD vomiting,dehydration, etc. - never asked ME quest's.& didn't have my history. Here's real kicker! They never got my med records to my final appt after over a yr. but proced's were performed. I've never seen anything like this in my life! I have zero trust bc I never felt more impt than a dollar sign. And I STILL have not received all results while i was a BG Pt.
