Dr. Joseph S Affortunato, DO

The worst doctor I’ve ever seen in my life and everyone should thank the Lord he is not accepting new patients

Dr. Affortunato did not diagnose my family member for six hours after presenting to the emergency room he worked at, ignoring constant complaints and abnormal test findings along with prior history. He told the primary care and cardiologist they did not need to come that evening to see him. He was not honest about his error in diagnosis and minimized the catastrophic test results that eventually came. In addition, his nurse did not recognize cyanosis and evidence of internal bleeding nor did she report it to the doctor. Some of these details, of course, were discovered shortly following my family members DEATH. The specialists never saw him, as again he had informed them not to come until the next morning, when clearly they should have been called in immediately. Stay away.
