I was there yesterday for an appointment and she said come back today for results but she didn't mention I need to bring my son. We tried calling 5/6 times this morning to ask if we need to bring my son? No one answered and went straight to voicemail. My Husband got to the appointment half hour earlier than scheduled the door was locked "out for Lunch" and they finally opened the door at 1:40pm... Appointment was at 1:35pm. Long story short they finally called his name at 2:28! She also sent my husband home saying they need to see my son for results... Their next availability is in the end of January because the DR will be on Vacation. Really?? I gotta wait that long for an ultrasound result.

Fortunately, unlike my experience with DHR billing, this particular provider has still maintained outstanding customer service. Lab results aren't much better. Their lab easily gest confused. My surgery in Houston was almost delayed because they "Forgot" to send the results. On other occasions doctors received only the first page or nothing at all. They have acquired excellent providers who had exceptional customer service and turned them into their minions.

I went to see Mr Spinetti back in 2016 for stomach issues. I was a minor at the time but I still…read morehad to advocate for myself because my mom wasn't in the picture and my dad never defends me. Mr Spinetti just kept giving me different medications in the span of a few months. When none of them were working, he was ready to give up and just call it a depression/anxiety issue. He even showed me a random video on youtube about inspiration and about life. I remember clutching my stomach, still deeply in pain, and thinking "why am I still in pain? Why is he making me watch this? Why is he doing the bare minimum? Why is he so hesitant to help me?". It honestly felt unreal that he thought a silly little video would suddenly inspire and "fix" me. The visit after that, my stomach was even worse. I was delirious and laying on the bed, hair covering my face. I could faintly see him giving me a "really? So dramtic" look. The nurse actually seemed more concerned than him (rubbing my back, speaking to me) and she was suggesting him to do an endoscopy on me. He was extremely hesitant to do one for no reason at all. He kept trying to talk me out of it like it was some sort of dangerous surgery. He even said how it most likely won't fix the issue. I still got it done anyways. Turns out I had bleeding in my stomach. He referred me to another doctor and I had it repaired. I will give him credit where it's due, he did admit me to the hospital when my weight was extremely low after the surgery and he was a lot nicer when I saw him many many months later, but I didn't feel like he was there for me when I was sick. When I needed his help most. He made me suffer for a lot longer than needed, and he was doing the bare minimum for issues that obviously needed an endoscopy. I went to another Gastro years later, and on the first visit they were already talking about Endoscopy and that's the kind of care I like.

Dr Badiga is a very knowledgeable physician with implacable skills and a bedside manner second to none. It should tell you something when nurses and other medical staff choose a doctor to not only care for them but their loved ones as well.
