Dr. Maria Ospina

Dr. Ospina recommended the Duopa tubing procedure for me and I was excited to proceed with it. From the beginning, once the tubing was implanted, it began to get infected. I had to get tubes removed and spent 6 days in the hospital. After that disaster, she recommended the skin biopsy test to determine if I had a Parkinson's Plus Syndrome. Before the test was performed, she looked at me and said "you might have all 3 syndromes". I took the test and waited 2 weeks. I called her and her staff said she got the results and set up a telephone appt. She called and was avoiding my questions about the test results. She kept saying, "it's a "gray" area on the results report. I asked what now.... She said I should start seeing a Palliative Care doctor and no longer see her. I tried to get her answer about the skin biopsy test and she never gave me her thoughts on it. WHY DID I NEED TO SEE THE PALLIATIVE CARE DOCTOR NOW AND NOT HER???? She never answered my questions.

She is a caring and knowledgeable Dr. She always listens and seems to know just what is needed. Her staff is pleasant and helpful.

Very personable and knowledgeable.

Dr. Ospina's staff is rude, make it impossible to get an appointment. I was unable to get appointments I needed because they could not seem to use the fax machine, both when we came and they needed information from other doctors and tests, and when i needed referrals. I was lied to, one staff member refused to listen to me because my describing my problem meant to herI "was acting like she didn't know how to do her job, hung up on, Me to call back at a certain timeand shre was not here when I called back. When I ended up I thed ER and was told to make a follow up visit, I was unable to make that appointment. I would never recommend anyone go to this office and be subject to this behavior. No one gave me the opportunity to say what had happened to me at the hands of the office staff.
