Stay away from this doctor. He is in Leesburg. Comes to Villages 1 day a week.

CT scan done in Dec.. due to bad respiratory illness...didn't see him until Feb..that was his or his office scheduling.None the less, that was wrong.

CT scans should be discussed within a short time especially when you are dealing with an 79 year old patient in good health otherwise.

2 months to wait to discuss a CT scan when you are told you have a serious respiratory problem is unheard of.

His bedside manner is very weak, he is not a good listner and experience has said he doesnt' seem to see a sense of urgency when one is diagnosed with a problem when there is no 'cure'.

Just explore your options and always get a 2nd option. My friend did and once off the pills Ortiz prescribed, etc...he is back to normal. The respiratory dx was wrong. Be your own advocate of your body and get 2nd or even 3rd opinions if need be. Life isn't a dress rehersal folks.
