Dr. Philip Ryan Letada, MD

Dr. Letada should not even be considered a doctor at this point. He refused to remove a cyst from my chin. I am pregnant but have gotten this procedure approved by my OB. He said he thought it could be dental related and told me to visit an ENT who would be able to take an x-ray and remove it in their office or I could go to my dentist for the x-ray and come back to see him to remove it. I went to the ENT who was extremely confused why I was even referred to his office. He said it was a cyst, not related to dental work and didn't see why we should even have an x-ray and basically told me I was wasting my time. So I went to my dentist who also was confused. They said if it was dental related and on my chin, I would be in an extreme amount of pain. My dentist wrote a note to Dr. Letada letting him know it was not dental related and he could perform the procedure. I went BACK to Dr. Letada and he said he was sorry for wasting my time and he wouldn't be able to perform the… procedure because of the location with my artery. So his story changed AGAIN. I asked for alternate solutions and he recommended a plastic surgeon to perform the procedure. I took the plastic surgeon's card and threw it out in the trash on my way out. No need to keep spending money on appointments. I received a bill for both my appointments and spoke with the office manager, Tammy who was very kind and understanding. She followed up with him and he told her that he felt he couldn't perform the surgery because the ENT wouldn't do it because I'm pregnant. He said he received a letter from them directing them not to perfom the procedure. This is not true, the ENT never sent a letter. And he said in my second appointment it was because of the location of my artery. And he is still charging me for that second appointment. Again, the office manager Tammy was very kind, followed up with me in appropriate time and I think can sense how ridiculous this all is. But I will not return to that practice that has such a shady "doctor" working there. He is full of lies and excuses.
