    This is a very convenient Dr office close to home . But this time it's all about Labs or lack there…read moreof . Lol Would you want your blood drawn by people who look asleep ? The lady was kicked back at the window head back feet up. And the guy was resting his head on the counter and well you guessed it resting , must of been a hell of a day . Showed up three times and no labs . Oh well always tomorrow. Well tomorrow is here after showing again and getting no where I finally called banner health only to find out they do not take orders from outside doctors and after 5 time and I did explain to them it was a outside doctor never once communicated to me that they couldn't do it . Wasted a ton of time and now it back to starting over . Over all clean , convenient, friendly sleep deprived employees.

    I want to start this review out by saying I had wonderful interactions with all of the office staff…read moreand the nurse who saw me before the doctor came in. This was my first, and last, appointment with Dr. Han because of the disappointing lack of communication. I scheduled a well exam/yearly physical and assumed that is what I was going into. Dr. Han was in the room for maybe 15-20 minutes and it was a brief appointment, nothing crazy. I spoke about symptoms I was having due to being anemic and other things that I have usually discussed with my primary care provider (I had to switch due to change in insurance). I was sent to do labs and all is well. Then I received a bill for $80 and I reach out to my insurance and they say it is because of the certain coding used. They assume it's a mistake and tell me to reach out to the provider who issued the lab work and have them change the coding. Sounds simple enough until I learn that my scheduled wellness exam was no longer that the minute I started talking about medical concerns. The concerns were nothing life threatening, but concerns you'd talk about with your doctor at your annual exam; which is what I had scheduled with the office. It's very disappointing that Dr. Han failed to tell me the appointment had changed once I started discussing my medical concerns. It's even more disappointing that it seems like talking about medical concerns is just seen as additional coding and extra money for the doctor. I will not be returning to this office, nor would I refer them to anyone. I highly suggest reading other reviews and finding another doctors office.

    Horrible experience. NEVER work with "dr" Stephanie altamura…read more The reason for the parenthesis is she did not conduct herself as a DO and is very rude and unprofessional. Wish I could give her zero stars or less! Had to come to this location after my longtime care provider in the surprise office left. She was always 10/10 amazing in every way and never treated us the way altamura did . My kiddos have been at DVP since my son was a newborn (he is going to be 9) and my daughter is turning 5. I have never encountered a provider as rude and unprofessional as Stephanie Altamura. Our appointment was scheduled for 3:30 PM, but we were left waiting in the exam room until 4:35 PM--over an hour past our time. During the wait We saw the MA for vitals and a student, but not the person we scheduled the appointment with. When Altamura finally arrived and I asked for an estimated time on the remainder of the appointment as my kids were antsy and tired of being there, she became immediately hostile. Instead of apologizing, she tried to blame the delay on the fact that her student was asking us questions and claimed my children were "acting up." It was absurd for her to blame a student interview that happened during the wait for her own tardiness. It seemed as if she used the student to buy herself more time before starting the actual visit. She was very argumentative and also tried to say that every doctors office we go to is like this and we will have to wait this amount of time. It was normal and she did nothing wrong and has been on time all day. The MA that roomed us apologized for our long extensive wait and noticed we had still not been helped. She's the first provider we have ever had this issue with since we have been patients with this facility. Keep in mind... I work in healthcare! And I am also a provider. I have never made a patient wait on me longer than 10-15 minutes and if I did, they received a long explanation and an apology. The situation escalated when the Office Manager Terri came in to mediate. While the manager was trying to apologize and explain that the office was overbooked, Altamura repeatedly interrupted us, talking over me, and sarcastically laughing the entire time I was trying to communicate with management. Most disturbingly, she then proceeded to handle my children with aggression. She grabbed them roughly to check their eyes and ears, snapping commands like "move" and "get down." My children were visibly shaken and scared by her erratic behavior. This was my final straw and I ended the appointment immediately. Terri followed me out and apologized for Altamura's unprofessional behavior and admitted she was in the wrong. As a medical provider myself, I know this behavior is unacceptable. I would never make patients wait over an hour, blame them for it, and then treat them with such hostility. I urge new patients to stay away from this provider. I will now take my kids where they are properly cared for and with providers who carry dignity and respect for their patients. Disgusting behavior .

    In for my boys annual well child check ups and as usual they're growing faster than I want them too…read more We absolutely appreciate the back office MA's for being so sweet, the office Physicians for never making it weird for the guys and front desk staff for being so assistive and careful.

My baby would scream for 5-7 hrs per day, arch…read moreher back, make a sour face, couldn't sleep flat, etc all the classic signs of GERD in infants I now know. They kept saying "it's just colic". I changed providers and that one suggesting trying different formulas and wasn't making sense or listening to me when I said we had already tried cutting out allergens. I was also concerned because my baby was bruising easily and quite pale, and I was severely anemic at the time of delivery, I thought maybe she was too. They kept refusing to draw blood and then they finally did and told me "hemoglobin is within normal range". I didn't believe them and asked for the number. 9.0. I ended up utilizing some online resources that suggested my baby 1- had silent reflux or GERD, and 2- was definitely anemic as hemoglobin of 9.0 is not normal. We ended up changing to the Park West location and I really had to twist the doctor's arm to prescribe my baby famotidine or omeprazole as a trial. That doctor became nasty with me and said "if you're willing to chance the side effects then fine". My baby was in severe pain, not sleeping and losing her voice. The famotidine prescription changed her life. She was no longer in pain and turned into a happy baby. Additionally WIC suggested enfamil AR - pleasant peds never mentioned this - and that helped immensely as well, plus the anemia subsided. At our final visit the doctor suggested we allow our baby to scream and cry inconsolably for a night or two to make her sleep thru the night and told us not to feed her until morning even if she wakes to eat. She was an infant at the time. We walked away and never looked back.

As always, Araceli greeted us warmly and asked how we were doing. Mysty always has a huge smile and warm greeting, and today - she had some hair tricks (Thanks, Mysty!). We were told that the usual provider was not in today - what we were not told was that the ABSOLUTE best provider ever was about to walk into the exam room. Kristen Buchanan was like a breath of fresh air. For the first time when meeting with the provider, my granddaughter did not cry at all. She had a few tears later in the visit when she was given her shots. Even then, she only cried for a few minutes then calmed down. Kristen was so very kind and knowledgeable. She provided much needed information to my daughter for the next stages in eating, language and physical development. Safe to say, my daughter and granddaughter were completely at ease and had the best visit ever! Thank you, Kristen, Mysty and Araceli for making today so wonderful. 1 year check-up and shots are no joke! We so appreciate the kindness and great care that you all provide.

The staff and providers often came across as unfriendly and dismissive, and I rarely felt like appointments were personalized to my children's individual needs. I also felt pressured to follow their vaccine schedule, and when I expressed concerns or wanted to make different choices, I was made to feel that our care could be discontinued. Families deserve respectful communication and support, even when they have questions or differing opinions. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

My baby/ son anytime I'm trying to schedule if my son has an ear infection of some sort, they always schedule him a week later/ by that time my son would probably die!

They are only there for their paycheck! 6th time having to go to the hospital because they cannot seem to squeeze him in there, with my first born at a different pediatric, never had this issue and they have sympathy towards babies or kids. Like I said the front staff is only there to collect a paycheck and do not care about the health of your children, she even had the nerve to say I need to call ahead of time to schedule, I had called 2 hours before closing and no one answers, the nerve of this lady! the doctors and assistants in the back are sweet and caring, just not the front desk!!
