Dr. Curulla very kind. I had lots of problems with him following up on My Chart. I either received no response or delayed for several days. This happened at least 3 times. I am very disappointed.

I went to see Dr. Curulla for many years and he was always very intelligent, very thorough and very caring. When he left the practice, he even phoned in prescriptions that were erroneously sent to him

Doctor is great ... smart, realistic, and listens. Try to get an answer from the office, like "did a fax arrive" ... and if a machine doesn't give you the answer (most don't) you probably won't get one and if you do it may not be correct or timely. Can't speak to the doctor, don't know if he ever got a message, don't know if any information received was from the doctor or the staff. They may not respond at all. They don't listen to the doctor any better. I have experienced where they did not make an appointment with the correct group for testing and it had to be rescheduled (taking time) then when it was rescheduled, the test was set up for the wrong procedure. The mistake was caught by the testing group and had to be rescheduled yet again. (more time lost) It had to do with an irregular heart beat.... no urgency nor concern from the staff of Dr. Curulla. They suck.

A number of the office staff are uncaring and unfriendly. The nurses are good
