Joseph F Valentino, MD

Dr. Valentino has been very kind and caring to each member of my immediate family. I've had NO problems with his care and concern. Most difficult problem was getting forms comleted (such as disability or back to workletters)in timely manner. Nurses do that and he signs. The doctor himself is great once you go in a few times, he has a great rapor. I'm lucky to have him.

This man shouldn't even have a license. His only concern is whether or not you're taking the medications he prescribes you. If you try to tell him your concerns about certain medications and their side effects, he tells you it's because the medications are working. It doesn't matter if it's hurting you or not. I questioned him on a certain medication that was causing severe side pains and how the research I did showed that the medication he prescribed caused kidney failure in some people. He threw a tantrum, stating that after 10 years of being a doctor, he never heard of that medication causing renal failure. Well, I have to tell you that we now have a family member with complete renal failure, and are wondering why this jerk didn't request to see a kidney specialist right away. He has done more harm than good! The man actually mocked said patient when she was concerned about dark long lines on her feet (she is diabetic) and he said "so what are you dying now?" He gives no regard to patients concerns or feelings, but, is only responsive to his own emotions.Final comments: Doesn't listen to patients concernsHas the bedside manner of a jackalIs in the medical field for the moneyKowtows to pharmaceutical companies
