Frederick A Depaola, MD

Today I had an unbelievable and unforgettable experience in my whole life when it comes to be treated in such a horrible way by a “doctor”. After waiting for a while to see him, I was shocked and still in disbelief to be put in such an awkward situation by someone who is trusted to be a “doctor”. As he walked in without any introduction or a simple courtesy, he jumped right on to his computer, without even looking at me, asked “why are you here?” As I was trying to explain about my knee pain and the reason I was there, he kept saying in an intimidating tone of voice “hold on” “be specific” “what are you talking about” “if you don’t know the type of gel injection you got, I will not treat you” “how come you don’t know?”, etc. He went on and on, and I was at the point of thinking about leaving the room. This doctor “Frederick DePaola” should not be permitted to treat patients. He certainly ruined my day. He gives you the impression that you are a burden on him and he is forced and dragged to come to see you. I would never ever like to see this person again.

I have never been treated so poorly by a physician.

Never in my life did I have a doctor yell at me numerous times. and not even examine me on my visit(2nd). I never went back.

I have been a patient of Dr. DePaola’s for approximately three years. He is a terrific doctor , with a compassionate manner. I have received knee injections at several of his offices. He is always pleasant and sincere. He is not only extremely qualified and knowledgeable, but a caring individual as well.

Awful. No bedside manner for starters. Very rude arrogant. Insisted I just go for pt for the "sore" arm from my skiing mishap. I insisted something was very wrong. Six weeks into it he finally let me have an mri. I literally walked out of AMI when he calls me to say it seems my arm was broken in three places and to stop physical therapy. Really?!
