Dr. John Patsimas, MD

Dr Pat is a very caring and professional and thorough physician

This doctor made me wait 2 hours before I finally asked his nurse if he forgot about me. Then he gave me two minutes of his time. He no intelligent input on issues.

I went to John to get a reference for a physical therapist. I've had a condition in my leg for a number of years now, and I understand the process. John, however, would not listen to me when I repeatedly explained that I've had this for years and I've been seen by many physicians who tell me the same thing. John wanted to give me tests, which I understand since it's been a while since my last one, but after that he wanted me to try different sets of medications to see which of those might take care of the problem. I felt he was looking at me as a guinea pig or maybe he needed to meet quota or please some pharmaceutical companies or IDK. After a while of debating, we just decided to wait until we see what the test results said. Next appointment was the same issue, except that this time he seemed to be in a hurry. Since I didn't want to try the meds, and for some reason he didn't want to give me the PT reference, I was pretty much told to come some other day... The staff was even… worse. They just wanted me to come in and out and not ask any questions. Any time as asked something they seem to get upset. They talked about how busy they are and they don't have time to discuss things, and yet one day I had to wait until the receptionist finished talking on the phone about what it seemed to be issues with her kids. I get we all have our personal issues, but when you decide to take a job that is there to serve people, you can't act as if the patients are the ones getting in the way of your job or personal life. It seems that everyone if this place is in it for themselves...

over books long wait

Dr Pat has been taking care of my entire family for over 15 years!We have been pleased and can report that he is always respectful and caring in our dealings with him. I would recommend him.

I had been to five different doctors and had SIX ER visits for pain in my belly which I was told was reflux or an ulcer, Dr Patsimas did a thorough work up on me and found that I had an Esophageal cancer! I am a surviver three years later. If the previous person that commented had several family members that were "misdiagnosed" then why did they go see that doctor? Is there possibly some slander going on?

I agree with anonymous! He misdiagnosed several of my family members as well!!

Not a good doctor. mis diagnosed several family and friends.
