I hope my review stays to really help other people.
The first visit to Dr. Ricciardi was Ok. Around May/June this year, I had a problem in the muscle of the right leg, I visited Dr. Ricciardi, he gave me a couple of shots, and I don't even know what kind of medicine was that because regularly he never clear or say and He felt very upset if I questioned, telling me that he is the doctor and He knows what He is doing.
Well, apparently not because He perfectly knows that I can't take strong medicines to sleep because I am very sensitive to that kind of medications, in spite of that He did the worst thing that day. I was with my son, there were two other Doctors there. I was in extreme pain and Doctor Ricciardi took three pills from other patient's container, asked one of the Doctors to put then in a small yellow envelope and told me to take one x day.
When I got home, I took one and few minutes after that I started having the worst symptoms after taking a pill for pain.
My blood pressure dropped immediately so badly that I couldn't be standing, I had mental confusion, nausea, vomiting, etc., etc., I thought that I was going to die.
The medicine was DEMEROL, I didn't check the pill before taking it, but, then we checked in the website the color, shape and inscription. How could He do that???.
The worst of the worst is that I was in his office again after a week to tell him about DEMEROL and the terrible effect that that caused and He was angry, very upset with me and my son, He said that we had to calm down. CALM DOWN???, You Doctor Ricciardi, take DEMEROL, not me. I DON"T TRUST YOU. I will never come back to see you.
15 days ago from a Pain Management Office a fax was sent to His office requiring my Medical Records, Vida, who is one of the employees told me that she was not sure that Dr. Ricciardi will approve to send my Medical Records. NO???. That is illegal!!!, or you have lots to hide!!!. I told them that I am in extreme pain, I also left a message in the number for Emergencies that He has, and nothing, no answer!!!!!.
WORST DOCTOR EVER Terrible temper, and employees also!!!! read more
