I have very mixed feelings about this doctor's office. I was a patient here for nearly ten years and had various experiences along the way. While I was a student at UM, the office was very close and convenient. Through the years, I moved and continued to come back but it's just not worth it anymore. After countless appointments, I'd say it's very hit or miss with whether you will wait a long time to be seen or not. I always tried to book my appointments as early as possible to avoid them getting backed up, but the uncertainty is stressful. Parking is available in the same garage as the Whole Foods and if you go too late, it gets difficult to find parking, as well. Towards the end, I became frustrated with how quick my appointments would be. I felt like the doctor was always in a rush to move on and didn't take time to really talk to me about my needs, even after being a patient for so long. The office itself isn't super inviting and I feel like their systems could be updated. I did things like change my name and address countless times through their different portals and found outdated info each time I came in. I recently switched practices and honestly regret not doing it sooner. I no longer have a feeling of dread when my appointments come around! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Villa's office for years and absolutely love her due to her attentiveness and professionalism with her special touch of kindness. The office is always spotless clean even the patient's bathroom. The office rarely overbooks...in the past 15 years around a handful of times is when I've waited a long time due to delays. Dr. Villa takes her time to explain everything and isn't rushed when attending you. The staff for the most part are nice but if they can improve on something it'll be in returning phone calls but all in all I will continue to be a loyal patient to Dr. Villa. She's the BEST! read more

I will no longer be a patient here!! They overbook appointments. I had an appointment today scheduled for 10:30am and was still waiting by 12. I left and went to another OGBYN and was seen in less than 15 minutes. This treatment is so RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL to patients. Patients have work and other commitments and don't want to spend time in the waiting room all day. It's especially annoying that they claim there is no wifi. At least if you're waiting, you can check your email, etc. My first experience was also terrible. Dr. Villa recommended and IUD, so I tried it. I nearly PASSED OUT when it was first placed. I ended up walking home because I was in no condition to drive. (The nurses didn't care!) I was bleeding so much (through my tampons, clothes, etc) I begged them to take it out. The Dr. said that is normal. I was bleeding through my clothes and onto furniture! A few days later, I called again and begged her to take it out. I waited in the waiting room for 2 hours to get a simple IUD removed. This Dr. shouldn't even be in practice anymore. She doesn't recognize the dangers of that situation. She walked in and surprisingly said, "oh wow! You are bleeding!" The staff is so disrespectful and rude. read more

Alright ladies. Let's be frank. When it comes to visiting the gyno, we don't trust just ANYONE with our pooty tang. I haven't been to many. I'm sure the one you've got is great. Let me tell you about Letty Villa M.D. She's so wonderful, so feminine, so knowledgeable, so capable, and sooo caring. I've been with her now for 3 years and I'm never nervous to be there, the nurses always remember me and are always encouraging of small talk. What more can you ask of a gyno? Even after losing my insurance she's helped me needle my way through the system to find affordable gyno care all the while knowing that I intend to go back to her as soon as I'm re-insured. Going to the gyno is a nerve wracking experience, especially when you know you might hear bad news. She's a very supportive doctor who understands that people don't just go to her for her handi-work, (excuse the pun). We have questions and she answers them, we have doubts and she is re-assuring, we have ailments and she has affordable treatments that still work. Her office is currently located above Whole Foods on 57th Ave. Parking is limited but there are multiple floors to choose from so the only inconvenience is having to take an elevator up or down. It's also quite a walk down the hall to her office if you're there for the first time. Regulars know that usually there's someone in the waiting room who can open the door for you. To my understanding she accepts Humana and AvMed. I'm sure there's a longer list but I'm not aware of it. If you don't have insurance, a pap test can cost you up to 200 dollars. Just letting you know. Go to someone you can trust with your most private area. read more

Villa Letty M MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - South Miami, Florida

I have been a patient at the office for 6 years now and I have nothing but good things to say. Let's start by saying how convenient it's for the office to provide free parking in a garage. I think this is the only free garage parking left in Miami. Talking about convenience, there is a Whole Foods in the first floor of the building (awesome!). Well, if this is not good enough then you have Dr. Letty Villa which is a very knowledgeable doctor, very sweet and nice. Not like most places in Miami, you never feel like she is rushing you to finish explaining your problem and she is always ready to give you the answer you are waiting to hear. She is very genuine and I almost feel like I'm talking to my Mom, she is just so nice! The office runs pretty well, everything is very clean and organized. The staff is nice and I've never had an issue with scheduling an appointment. Also, I have never had to wait more than 15 min. after my appointment to be seen. The only annoying thing about the office is the electronic form you have to fill in EVERY time I go. read more

Very disrespectful of people's time. I waited 1:45 in the waiting room before being called in, at which point I changed into a robe and realized I had gotten my period. Dr. Villa came in and told me it was my decision if I got the Pap smear done in the moment or that I could come back and do it at another time. She left and 30 minutes later I had to go find the nurse to tell her I wanted the Pap smear done on the same day. The doctor then came back and told me the test might not be a good idea and that it should be done another day. All in all, I waited 3 hours for them to tell me they couldn't do anything. Unless you have all day, don't go here!!!! read more

So I'm sure this doctor is very intelligent and knows what she's doing but regardless she is not someone I would recommend to anyone. The word "doctor" originates from the Latin verb "docēre" which means "to teach". I came here concerned about my health issues and she barely let me discuss them, let alone put my mind at ease or tell me what she thought. Her staff was polite, with the exception of her ultra sound tech who made an awkward situation even more difficult. In a nutshell: 1) The dr barely listened to my health concerns. I had to interrupt her to get a word in. 2) Very short visit. She was in an out in less than 3 min. You'd think paying almost $400 out of pocket would at least get you a second to talk about your problem. 3) She didn't explain anything to me. She orders some tests and tells you what you'll be taking without telling you why!! 4) Didn't even remember to write my prescription after telling me what I'd be taking. 5) Doesn't build rapport with the patients 6) I have experience in the medical field and she doesn't give patients enough time, attention, or concern/consideration. Terrible experience. Would never come back here again. I didn't rate a 1 because she's not working out of a basement. Otherwise... I would have... I changed my mind, I'm rating this a 1!! read more

Dr. Villa is a great doctor. She is someone I can talk to. She is very knowledgeable and gives excellent recommendations. However, the office management is a disaster. The phones are rarely answered, they don't call back, they don't follow up, you have to be on top of everything with them, and that gets to be so frustrating, one has to forget about Dr. Villa. If you have an urgent matter, or a critical condition, this is not the office to turn to. The horrible thing is that, in my experience, other gynecologists' offices are not much better. But I consider this one to be one of the worst. The patient that wrote about the long wait, and then another long wait for an ultra sound with a painfully full bladder.., the same exact thing happened to me. I am always prepared to wait for at least an hour before seeing the doctor. I have to go in prepared with my list of things to make sure I am the one to follow up with the referrals, prescriptions and subsequent appointments. read more

Dr. Letty Villa has been my Obgyn for 19 years. Despite her busy practice, she will always returns my calls and address my concerns. Dr. Villa is highly experienced and very professional! Her office is beautifully set and cozy. I have referred her to friends and clients and they have been equally content with her. I pray she keeps working for many years to come!!! read more

Morning, afternoon, doesn't matter - barely 1 seat in waiting room. They are way overbooking appts! I've waited no less than 30mins, and an hour on the last visit. Complete waste of time. Disrespectful. And they make you fill out your paperwork EVERY year - almost like they don't keep it, or are losing it. I've always had a personal feeling around my doctors, they all remember and recognize me. Suffice to say, I spent my hour wait in my last appt combing Yelp reviews and Blue Cross directory finding a new MD, got one, I'm outta here! 1 star for free parking. Other than that, the staff all needs to be swapped out with people who like to work, and are efficient. read more

Dr. Villa has been my gynecologist since she saved my life by performing successful surgery on an ectopic pregnancy in 1999. I can count on her to be effective, astute, and kind. She has always taken as much time as I needed to discuss my health. As my needs have changed, so have her care and her advice. I frankly dread the day, may it be far in the future, when she decides to retire! I don't write many yelp reviews, but was quite shocked at some of the negative comments, and felt that it was important to speak up. These comments are not representative of Dr. Villa's patients. read more

It's the staff that will make you leave this place. They are incompetent and unprofessional. I called 4 times to speak to someone from billing about an overcharge and no one was ever there. When I spoke to someone at the front desk, she asked if I had left my information for a call back. I had. She raised her voice at me, "Then she will call you back!". Subtext, "stop bothering me." Still waiting to hear back after ten days. I also feel like they are trying to up sell every procedure, which gives a feeling of a desperateness to the money-making aspect of the business and little concern for the medical. I spoke with another friend who goes there and we were both told that we needed an ultrasound every visit for the last few visits. Extra charges. Necessary? Surely not every time. I was prescribed a medication that was a little pricey and I asked for a sample to start with. She said I could ask for one as I left. I asked and the receptionist and she said, unbelievably, that the staff had used all the samples for that medicine. I asked, "Aren't those for the patients?" but she just shrugged. I went back and complained to Villa and she just smiled and shook her head and said, "Oh, well." I think that she is a really nice person and an intelligent doctor. But she apparently is so passive that she hires friends and family who cannot do the job in the office. The cycle is that they screw up so many things that they lose paying patients and then she has to over prescribe and overcharge in order to pay the salaries for people who would be fired within a week of working somewhere else. read more

Dr. Villa is a professional, compassionate gyn. She answers all of my questions, I do not feel rushed. Maybe once I had a long wait. Her staff is sweet and attentive. I have had ultrasounds with her Tech. and highly recommend her as well. The building has free parking. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Villa for over 30 years and I'm admittedly biased. I delivered two children when she was doing Obstetrics and it was such a relief to bring my daughter to her first gyn appointment to a doctor that not only delivered her but someone I trust completely. I have stayed with Dr Villa for so long because she cares about her patients. If you are waiting a few minutes to see her it's because she never rushes through a visit, always listens to your concerns and then takes the time to explain her recommended plan of care. The office staff is equally gracious and professional in addressing patient needs. You can't go wrong choosing Dr Villa as your health care provider but again, I'm admittedly biased. read more

Letty Villa was my first gynecologist, & at the time, I really had no idea what to expect; I was nervous in general. Later on, after visiting another doctor for a few years, I decided to go back to her. Unfortunately, I wasn't happy & have decided to see another doctor. So here it is. THE PROS She knows her stuff: I wanted to stop taking birth control just because I was tired of it and thought I'd be healthier if I did. She knew about recent studies and research regarding this & gave me the facts she had that helped me in my decision. The staff and nurse are nice: When I've had minor issues, the nurse was able to call in prescriptions to my pharmacy, saving me the time and expense of making an appt. CONS Distance and feelings of disinterest: She speaks very sweetly, takes her time doing things and smiles a lot, but doesn't seem to really seem to be "there." It's almost like she's thinking about her car payments while she's examining you. :/ And when you ask questions, her answers are general and can even be ambiguous. ALWAYS late: I had an emergency and was told I could come in at 8:00am and be seen first, which fit my schedule. I get there at 8:00, yet I'm not seen until 9:15. And the straw that broke the camels back, was when I had to have an ultrasound (which required that I have a full bladder.) I was made to wait 2 & a half hours (I'm not exaggerating here) past my appt. time, where I was in so much pain trying to hold my bladder, that I had to go and miss my opportunity to have the ultrasound. I was told to start drinking water again and wait AGAIN for the other patients to be seen first. These are only the worst experiences I've had. Needless to say, I've found another doctor. read more

My daughter did a procedure without informing her that the insurance was not going to cover the procedure. Later I receive the bill for almost $800 and that was that, when I called they told me "well she signed for it" They don't care to communicate...more $ from me than the insurance for sure. Greedy and completely inconsiderate. Do not recommend them to anyone and be very careful here $ is all that matters here. read more

Dr. Villa and her staff are always so wonderful. I've been under Dr. Villa's care for many years and I always leave her office feeling blessed to be a woman. She is a true expert in her field as well as a great listener! read more

I'm shocked at some of these reviews. I've never waited to be seen or had an issue, and I've been coming to this office for seven years. I had bounced from Dr. To Dr. because I never truly felt 100% comfortable, and she was the first Dr. Who made me feel like she actually cared. Also, I've always been able to get an appointment within the month with no problem! read more

Excellent Doctor and absolutely recommended office. Dr Letty Villa and all her office staff are very professional, courteous, considerate. Dr Villa has a great communication with the patients, creating rapport, demonstrating her great experience & knowledge, willing to clarify/address any health concern. Thank you for your outstanding services. Cristiana Robaina read more

She is all about smile, but at the end she don't seem to care much about your situation. I went to see her, because I am getting menopause hot flashes, and it was drive me very, depress, irritate, I start to talk to her and crying. What she recommend was "diu minera" - I don't even getting my period anymore, can you imagine what could happen to me,? I left her office with a prescription for mammogram and nothing yo help me with the hot flashes. I decide to call my Doctor in Brazil, and he prescribe me Buona (Herbal medicine), twice a day, and after two weeks, all the symptoms went away. She speaks very sweetly, takes her time doing things and smiles a lot, but doesn't seem to really seem to be "there." when you ask questions, her answers are general and can even be ambiguous. I don't recommend her at all. I have other friends that also went there and have the same feeling. read more
