Sigfredo Aldarondo, MD

Dr. Aldarondo is a wonderful doctor, very caring and compassionate and his staff are warm and friendly to the patients.

This doctor is terrible. He never stepped in the room to even put his stethoscope on the patient. He was not a professional doctor at all. I would not recommend him to see your loved ones ever.

I had a Bronchoscopy procedure that caused severe pain. Thirteen days later they realized that two disc in my neck had been damaged and pushed in to my spinal cord. Dr said don't pick anything up or fall down, you could be paralyzed. Had neck surgery and now I have a plate and 6 screws in my neck. There is pain every day. Dr Aldarondo said when they realized what happened - Quote - I sprung your neck. Was out of work for months. Dr now says not my fault.

Hw worked very hard to save my life. I litterally have him to thank tht I am still here.

Reading the prior rant prompted me to come to the defense of a great physician and staff. Dr. Aldarondo is caring and kind. He is respectful in his dialog with me and my family and has taken a significant amount of extra time to assure that we understood the diagnosis and prognosis, His staff has also been very gracious. It's hard to get in to see him but that's only a reflection of how wonderful this man is. It's worth the wait.

This man is an incredible Pulmonologist. I have ben a payient of his for over 10 years and I know I would not be living were it not for his wonderful care and his knowledge of COPD problems and the latest treatments and medicines. I have 50% of my lungs destroyed by emphaasema and this has not progressed further becaus of him. He also has an outstanding staff

After having my family Dr. fax info twice, the radiologists office send CT and X-ray results, 4 separate phone calls, we never actually received a return call to get an appt. scheduled. After finally getting a human on the phone two days into the process the office staff kept insisting we needed a referral, which of course we don't with our insurance. The woman had the nerve to say that if they'd seen a mass they would have ordered a CT. Had this rocket scientist looked at the info that was sent or perhaps hadn't lost it to begin with she'd have seen this was already done and in the records.Don't waste your time here. The competency of the front office staff is lacking such that I wouldn't be sure any info the Dr. actually gets would be accurate. You'll surely spin your wheels with them first. Even if Dr. A. is fantastic the chances are he'll be working from poor info anyway given what you run into with the people working his administrative staff.

Dr.Aldarando is well respected and admired. He is very professional and has excellent bedside manner. He is very kind and explains everything thoroughly.
