Dr. Joseph C Bottino, MD

I use to go to his Manhattan office many, many year's ago. He came in late many times, and seldom asked how are you feeling. Or any other important questions good doctor's ask their patients. I changed doctor's. I personally would never have him as my doctor again. He may have many year's experience, but that does not mean anything if you are late a lot, and do not ask your patients questions.

Careful, patient-centric, sometimes runs late because he allows each patient the time needed. Identified diagnosis when other doctors missed it.

This guy was, for a time, my primary doctor. To his credit, he visited me in the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital. He said, "I thought you told me this was going to be a good week for me." The week before my big op, during my pre-op checkup, I told him my heart was going boom-boom-boom and he said, "You think you've got stress - MY heart is going BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!" Well, you gotta laugh. But I also saw old women waiting for five hours, chilly in cloth open-backed gowns, waiting to be seen by this self-absorbed, unbelievably disorganized doctor - and staff are just as bad - told me it would take six weeks for a simple medical record to be sent. I went there and stood over them until it was done. NOBODY needs to be treated this way. Find another doctor.

This Doctor fails to provide adequate patient care. You will find yourself at his office all day. He comes in late and rushes the appointment alond. Does not ask you any questions like, how have you been, what are your feeling, none. Nor does he answer any questions you may have. You will not receive any follow-up notices of routine checks. In addition the Staff is rude and loud so is the Doctor. This office provides the poorest medical care ever experienced.
