Dr. Deep is good but the practice is BAD

by lanellh at Citysearch

I love Dr. Deep. She is a very caring and compassionate lady. She spends plenty of one-on-one time with each patient. She truly cares. The only problem is that she only works part-time and the office is completely inaccessible. It's impossible to get anything you need the same day. You always have to call a second time and you may as well forget about getting a prescription refill over the phone. Test results are rarely called the patient, even if they're negative. I always had to call to find out my results - even when additional treatment is necessary. Like I said, Dr. Deep is WONDERFUL when you get her to yourself. The practice is horrible and very unhelpful. It's the trade-off. Whatever you can take.

• Pros: Dr. Deep is wonderful and compassionate
• Cons: Office staff are unhelpful and unresponsive!

Not Helpful

by medicalhelp108 at Citysearch

Glad the doc did testing but wasn't happy that he didn't know what to do with me. All test indicate pituitary issues but it seems this office only deals with pcos, diabetes, and thyroid issues. Anything out of the norm, so elsewhere. Nursing staff very rude!!!!!

• Pros: I had an easy time getting appt w/ Kroustos
• Cons: Doc wasn't willing to test, didn't know what to do with me

Wonderful MD

by Cindella at Citysearch

Have had issues with seizures, low blood sugar and low blood pressure. Very thorough in labs to determine physiological deficiencies and evaluation to determine cause. She called me on Sunday to review diagnosis. I think she is beyond fabulous, caring. Yeah, I waited 20 minutes in the waiting room. But what doctor do you go to that can stay on a schedule perfectly? She has great bedside manners and I would reccomend her to anyone. Very open to your input.

• Pros: Really got into my issues
• Cons: None

Choose wisely

by mchoward at Citysearch

I have no problem with Dr. Anderson. He was a kind doctor. However, the office staff is not only disorganized, but they are very rude. Working full-time with three kids, I'm busy. It was very challenging to get an appointment and the office staff was never pleasent to deal with. I do miss Dr. Anderson, but I don't miss going in there at all. I have found a better doctor, but of internal medicine. They can do for me what Dr. Anderson was doing. If you can deal with the office attitude and their tight schedules, I would recommend Dr. Anderson. For me it just wasn't worth it.

• Pros: Dr Anderson was kind
• Cons: Horrible Office Staff

Tallo is a quack!

by shamilton84 at Citysearch

I was referred by a wonderful gynecologist but was seriously disappointed! It took forever to get an appointment but when I finally got in I was treated like I was invisible! I waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room (even though I arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment) and Dr Tallo came in for about 5 minutes. She said I'll be right back and didn't come back for 45 minutes! I heard the receptionist on the phone while I was waiting for Tallo to return and they had lost the record my gyno had sent over, then I could hear Tallo in the other room with ANOTHER PATIENT! She did his full exam while I sat and waited. I know I was there before him, yet I waited? I was furious and almost left but I needed labs done and then I was told I had to go to another office to do that! So ridiculous! Thank God I had insurance but I still hated to write out that $22 check for her... My advice: FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: EVERYTHING!

Worst Practice in the World

by vcgameday at Citysearch

Not only is the office a complete disorganized catastrophe, one of the associates, Dr. Caliguiri shouldn't have a license to practice. My wife just got out of the hospital. She was seeing Caliguiri for two months. She told Caliguiri not once, not twice, but three times to check her gallbladder. Caliguiri said she didn't think it was the problem so she wouldn't check. She had pain when she ate food. On top of all that we NEVER go a call back! My wife lost 30 lbs. because it was too painful to eat! We ended up going to the EMERGENCY room and spent a week in the hospital and finally got her gallbladder removed. Our sergeon couldn't understand the delay in checking the gallbladder. Web MD was more helpful than Tallo & Associates...

• Pros: None
• Cons: Incompetence

PHONE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK

by martirdld at Citysearch

I'm glad I read the reviews before trying to get an appointment. I would have been furious!

I will not tolerate the mismanagement that's going on here.

I did try calling. The phone system is a total joke. No number that I chose got me into it.

I am so HAPPY that it didn't!

• Pros: I saw the ratings and am going elsewhere
• Cons: The Phone System is disfunctional

The MD's Are Very Good But The Practice Is Disorganized

by khm106 at Citysearch

.I've used 3 of the physicians in this group practice: Drs. Anderson, Caligiuri, and Deep, As well as their PA Carrie Meyer. All are excellent in their own speciality, but the practice is so disorganized (e.g., getting through their misfunctioning phone system, making an appointment, getting lab results) that it gives new meaning to the word chaos. Again, each professional is excellent, but the practice needs to undergo a big reorganization so that it will work better for both the patient and the physicians.

Also, paying $2 each time for parking (when you can find space in their parking lot) makes it more expensive, but this is out of the practice's control since they just rent space in the building.

• Pros: Excellent MD's
• Cons: Disorganized office, broken phone system, $2 parking (when available)

nina deep

by bomingo at Citysearch

She may be a great doctor, but I would never use her services, because her TV commercials scare the hell out of me. This woman has issues with her bulging eyes. Like I said she scares the .... out of me.
