The surgery went well, and my mom is now in recovery. This is all thanks to them. And now, my mom will be with us for many many more years. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR BRANDL AND DR GOMEZ!!!

Dr. Nathan Ho saved my life…read more A few months back, I returned from a 4-day hike in Iceland (Laugavegur Trail) and proceeded to my previously-scheduled appointment with Dr. Ho. Coincidentally, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are patients of Dr. Ho. My appointment was made through a referral from my primary care provider (Dr. Dustin Riley) after I was kicked out of a Renown Reno Cardiology appointment thanks to a mutual service fee "pissing match" with my United Health Care service provider. And in hindsight, thank God they did. I had a minor heart attack in 2014 and had previously self reported to my previous Cardiologists (starting at John Muir in Walnut Creek) about "chest tightness" during exercise and was advised that this was not unexpected and that I should continue to monitor my symptoms. All during that time, I made regular appointments including taking the associated stress tests and continued to self-report any symptoms. I informed Dr. Ho about this and added that the strenuous Iceland hike had exacerbated my chest tightness during those 4 days. Dr. Ho expressed concern about this and strongly suggested I take an angiogram and soon. I did so a few weeks later, and figured it was all routine and right up to the time I recovered from the anesthesia after the procedure. Image my surprise when I was then told that I had 95% blockage in my "widow maker" artery. Triple Bypass surgery was scheduled within the week, which would have been sooner if it wasn't for the blood thinners I was taking. That operation went well, with the surgeon (Dr. Todd Chapman) emphasizing later that "he fixed me". So if it wasn't for this Cardiologist who picked up on something that previous professionals had not, I might not have been here to write this review. Thank You Dr. Ho.

I am writing in regard to my experience as a post-operative patient of Dr. Anthony Michael…read moreSciascia, II, MD (License No.: 16951), (Dr. Sciascia for future references), an Emergency Physician with Renown Health Systems. The following link will take you the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners where you can enter his last name and review his previous medical background and training (https://nsbme.mylicense.com/verification/Search.aspx). Earlier this week, I had the misfortune of interacting with Dr. Sciascia in one of the Emergency Rooms (ER) associated with Renown Medical Center. I have never come into contact with such a rude, condescending, and offensive health care provider. I should note that I, too, am a doctor and Federal Law Enforcement Officer, so I deal with difficult personalities on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I would never treat any of my patients, no matter who they are or what they've done, the way Dr. Sciascia treated me. This is unacceptable, and I intend on bringing this to the attention of anyone who may come into contact with this physician, someone who should not be allowed to treat patients. When I went to the ER, I was two days post-op, and in a considerable amount of pain. As I previously mentioned, I was unlucky to have Dr. Sciascia pick up my case. From the first moment I met him, there was something odd about his demeanor and he had the worst bedside demeanor I have ever witnessed. My friend that accompanied me to the ER said the exact thing, and she actually picked up on this vibe before I did. As an aside, all of the nurses were flabbergasted by my account of what occurred during my interactions with Dr. Sciascia. Long story short, Dr. Sciascia essentially accused me of drug-seeking, and told me that he didn't believe that I was actually experiencing pain, despite being 2 days postop. Dr. Sciascia was literally trying to instigate an argument with me, which I refused to engage in. He compared to me heroin addicts, which I am not, as well as misusing my pain medication, which I did not. Dr. Sciascia then compared me to other patients he has seen with "broken bones sticking" sticking out of their skin and that they refused to take any medication at all. First of all, I dislike being compared to other people, especially when their injuries are not even close to what my surgery or pain entailed. As a man, Dr. Sciascia does not know how painful certain 'female conditions' can be, so it is extremely rude to dismiss as if it meant nothing. Dr. Sciascia invalidated the pain I was experiencing, and I refuse to let anyone treat or speak to me in such a manner. Prior to being released from the ER, he informed me that I was going to be prescribed Gabapentin, a drug with which I am familiar. Gabapentin, also known as Neurontin, is a medication used for neuropathic pain, not postoperative pain. I asked Dr. Sciascia how that would be helpful in my situation, and he literally said, "I don't know." My friend advocated for me by asking for something that actually helped me, and he switched it to a muscle relaxant, which I refuse to take. I am unfamiliar with that medication, and I have lost trust in doctors in Renown's ER. More than one nurse I came into contact with during my several hour stint in the ER informed me that Dr. Sciascia "has a really weird demeanor...[and] has no bedside manner." They said more, but I hope you get where I am coming from. I will be taking this to the medical board of NV, as well as any site on which a review can be posted. Dr. Sciascia caused more harm than good, as I was extremely upset when leaving the ER, and I was still in pain. Given that I have only had one experience with Dr. Sciascia, I cannot comment on his overall competence as an ER Physician, and it would be unethical of me to do so. I can only speak to my personal experience with Dr. Sciascia, which was so horrific that I will never return to that ER for fear of coming into contact with him again. I am writing this review in hopes that others will read this and steer clear of Dr. Sciascia, if at all possible. If you want to be treated like a human being, find another doctor. Further, as a doctor myself (not an MD), I am a strong advocate for those who may not have the knowledge, access, or resources to go up against a physician. This is NOT over. Thank you for reading.

My boyfriend broke out with giant blotchy rashes all over his body for no apparent reason one day…read more We visited an urgent care, only to wait almost 3 hours for them to tell us to go to the ER. We were so frustrated, however I am glad that Dr. Sciascia (pronounced "Sha-sha") was able to treat him. Although the ER was incredibly busy that day, Dr. Sciascia made an effort to find the root of the problem without pushing him to have unnecessary medications, labs, etc. He suggested some over the counter meds we could purchase, gave us a prescription, and referred him to an allergist. Most importantly, he took the time to answer all of our questions and check on him before we left. It was the most efficient and caring ER visit we had. Plus, he's hilarious and super personable. Highly recommended!

I was 17 when he asked me if I've ever had a breast exam, and he asked me to remove my shirt.

My appointment was for a cold, and instead he felt it was appropriate to give a breast exam. Since then I've watched him misdiagnose and misprescribe my grandmas medication. I may only be a nurse now, but I'm pretty familiar with medical diagnoses and common medications to be given for said diagnosis.
