takes way too long to get an appointment, let alone a surgery. Took 5 months for him to remove my gallbladder that was full of stones. Didn't even show up at the hospital to check on me even though for a day and a half the nurses said he would be there for rounds. Follow up appointment was weeks late and rushed. I found more info from Web MD

has too many patients, no time given at appointments, didn't even bother to show up at the hospital after my surgery to check on me. Even the nurses thought he was going to show up. I wasn't even supposed to stay the night in the hospital but since he didn't show, they kept me. Cost me thousands out of pocket. Even my follow up appointment was weeks late. Rude staff.

This doctor bills preventative screening colonoscopys as diagnostic to get more money. Could the bill have been a mistake? Perhaps, but the nonchalant way his receptionist handed me the $300 "after insurance" bill leads me to believe it was not a mistake. Before you know what happened, the hundreds of dollars of bills starting coming in from WARMC. Even if it was a billing error, I now have to fight the insurance company for corrections. I wonder why he no longer practices at Valley View?

This doctor just saved my life. He took my symptoms seriously and even fought with my insurance to get the test I needed. He figured out I had a tumor and I am happy to say I will live thanks to him. He's the guy to have in your corner. Can't thank him enough

I have been seeing Dr. Cardone for several years. He has always been kind, courteous with both my mom and myself. I have complete trust in him. He is very straight forward and to the point. He doesn't sugar coat anything. I would recommend him always.

I was not happy with my treatment and don't feel any better after Dr Cardone did my surgery. In fact, I am in much worse condition than before my surgery.
