Dr Carmelia Eberuche/Dr Michael Glick

[Peazoup]

Just looking for feedback on these two doctors. I have seen one of them who came highly recommended, but I was not comfortable with the way the doctor disagreed with much of the treatment I had previously received up north before I came to TV. So, I'm thinking of switching from one doctor to the other.
Any opinions on either doctor?
Thanks for your input.

Dr. Eburuche has been treating us for 3 years. We think she is excellent. Very detail oriented, caring and does not mince words. She tells it like it is!

[Avista]

I don't know Dr Glick, but I have been very pleased with Dr Eburuche. She spends a lot of time with me and has a wonderful sense of humor. I'm very happy to have found her.

I am happy with Dr. Glick.

Add me to the happy patients' list of Dr Eburuche! She's a hoot, and knows her stuff. And she's from "up North" (Michigan) too!

Up north is a plus

My friend used Dr. Glick and had a terrible experience with him. Two of her other doctors told her she urgently needed a certain test that insurance companies say that only an internist can order. He refused to, in fact he got his back up when told that other doctors suggested it and continued to refuse. Finally a fourth doctor with a specialty that was okay for him to order the test did, and sure enough it was positlve. Glick. She says his office is like a mill and mainly the only tests he will order are what he himself has people in his own office doing. Thats scary when you need something else and you have a doctor whos ego gets in the way of what the patient needs. You can be sure that she will NEVER go back to Dr. Glick.

I saw Dr. Eburuche a couple of times, and I did like her personality. I did have a few issues, but those would be my own personal likes/dislikes, and it wouldn't be fair to air those here.

One major problem I had was that she does not make any hospital visits. If you become hospitalized, for whatever reason, you would be treated by hospital staff physicians. Those physicians supposedly keep her in the loop, but your treatment decisions are theirs, not hers.

My husband was hospitalized recently with several doctors involved in his care. It was very comforting to have our primary care physician come in daily, including Saturdays and Sundays, to give us a summary of where we were and discuss how he felt about what was to happen next.

[Avista]

As a patient of Dr Eburuche, I was in the hospital twice for surgery, Along with my surgeons, who visited me daily, I was also seen by a hospitalist at least twice a day. I had been familiar with Hospitalists as we have a cousin that is one. We also had an experience where a friend of ours was in the hospital and were so pleased that the Hospitalist discovered something not previously found (this was in another state) So, it was a 2nd opinion type thing.

It allows office docs to keep a more normal schedule and gives the patient a physician who is always there for them while in the hospital.

All, thanks for your input. I guess we can always find good and not so good opinions about anyone.

Peazup, were you really looking for advice, or were you just "Doctor Bashing"? The way some posters do "Restaurant Bashing". ... Dr. Glick is "board certified" and has been practicing in The Villages for over 15 years, he's not a "newby" to the medical community and he is highly respected. ...My wife and I have been patients of his for over 5 years and his referrals to us have all been to the top specialists in the area, many of whom will not accept new patients unless they are referred by someone like Dr Glick.

[jojo]

Peazup was not doctor bashing. She simply posed a question - the responses to which I am intensely interested myself. We need to have confidence in our doctors and it was a very fair question.

[barb1191]

If Peazoup were "doctor bashing" she would have identified a particular doctor. Her query was clearly and simply researching for a choice. How unfair of you to even question if that was her motive..... "doctor bashing."

Furthermore, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion within this forum whether it be positive or negative. That's why the information in this forum can be extremely effective in decision-making, especially for "newbies."

Thank you for your positive input regarding Dr Glick. I'm sure that this information will be very helpful in "same's" decision in choosing a doctor, as well as other residents who are also in need of opinions in choosing a local doctor.

[Peazoup]

Thank you JoJo and Barb1191. I'm glad you could see that I was just looking for opinions from people who might have information on either doctor. To "Same" - do not assume. I do not "bash" anyone. TOTV is a wealth of information on almost any question one may have regarding issues good or bad in The Villages. So it follows that one can and should be able to pose such questions.

[angel222]

Sorry to add a negative note but my experience with Dr Eberuche was not good. She diagnosed me with heart disease and told me I could have complete renal failure at any time because I had an UTI and have stent near my kidney. Both of these conditions were proved to be wrong when I returned to NY to my regular doctors. Her personality is great but I would not use her again....

It amazes me that intelligent people would look for a physician on an anonymous board, from posters with fictitious names. ...Yikes

Why not? This is what this website is all about and why it's so successful. This website offers opinions, knowledge, and experience they share which can help one in many many ways.

I do believe that this website offers more believable information than all the marketing, sales, and advertising pitches in any paid ads.This website offers first-hand experiences that can be take-it or leave-it information. What's that expression? "The best form of advertising is by word of mouth."

:clap2::mademyday::agree:Very well stated, Barb. If "same" knew us, he/she would know that we are not anonymous, we are in fact, friends and where else to get recommendations but from "friends"!?!?

[same]

Yes, all 10,000 of you are friends who won't use your real name. Yikes!!!

[barb1191]

Such a negative attitude!! Why do you bother to logon to this site if you're so critical about it???? You didn't use your real name, I see. You do know that it's optional and in most forums it's an ID that is used which can be your name and/or a "fun" name.

Go play in someone else's yard!! Leave the "happy campers" alone.

I'm not being critical of anyone or this board. I find true value on this board and I have learned many things from the generous sharing of so many participants. However, I am saying that medical advice is to important for anyone to take as credible, the medical opinions of anonymous people that are unaccountable, and that use, unverifiable made up first names.

Nobody is asking or giving medical advise. Someone just asked opinions of two doctors, this is very different from advise. I was there to be a support to my close friend who was diagnosed wrong by Dr. Michael Glick with what could be life threatening ahd he refused to listen to my friend with what other doctors said. Later confirmed by 2 other doctors and she is now being correctly treated but for sure not by Dr. Glick. This is not advise, this is someones experience, and non one is required to take it. This is nothing to do with the names that people use to write on this website.

Thanks for your input.

My husband and I both went to Dr. Rojas, who is in the office with Dr. Glick. I can honestly say, this was the worst experience either of us have ever had, and not just because of Dr. Rojas! The office staff was completely disorganized, to the extent where my husbands blood work was lost TWICE, requested records were never sent, we were given another patient's results, we were billed for an appointment that we never made, etc. There was a total lack of concern on the part of both the physician and the office staff for these mistakes. The receptionist, chewing gum and wearing jeans, lost our charts twice. I don't know anything about Dr. Glick as a physician, but a colleague of his told us to avoid that practice like the plague due to the extreme disorganization and multiple errors that she was being told about by others!

[SALYBOW]

I went to Doctor Ebaruche on the advice of people here. I didn't not care at all for her attitude. She refused to look at the medical history papers that I had brought with me. She point blank told me I did not have hypothyroidism unless she told me I did. :doh::rant-rave: She would do a special test. That special test was a TSH and a T4. I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Pardon me, I guess the doctors up North who have been diagnosing me as hypothroid due to the results of those very tests for the past 50 years were all wong. She told me to not tell her what they had found wrong with me, she would diagnose me herself. How arrogant!!! Why should I repeat a bunch of tests that I have already taken, and which I brought proof of in my medical record?
I now go to a PA named Jaon DeRiggs who is in with Dr. Azzizuleh. I lie her very much. I am glad that I switched.

I've been in the hospital several times and felt my regular doctor visit was only an excuse to send me a bill. While there I was in the care of a surgeon and my family doctor seeing me was a waste of time except for him.
I and my wife are very pleased with Dr. Eburuche. She seems very through and tells it like it is which is for your benefit.

[StarbuckSammy]

Dr Glick's office is very very disorganized and the wait time can exceed one hour. After 2 times sitting in the office for over an hour I went to another GP. Now I wait no longer than 15 minutes.

[Patty]

I know both of them, have been in the medical profession myself for over 25 years and I chose Dr. Eburuche. As was posted earlier here, she does not mince words and is a blunt communicator, but she tells it like it is. She is extremely thorough and follows up well. I had a very serious situation and she had to refer me to a neurosurgeon of which she had to eventually send me to Shands. Her follow up was wonderful and her staff is extremely accommodating to fit you in on last minute appts.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Could anyone give us a telephone number for Dr. Eburuche?

Dr Glick and his office have been wonderful. I have never had to wait more than 20 min and the staff has gone out of their way for me. Some complicated forms filled out and medicinens sent promptly! I also have good reports for dr. Eburuiche. Herb
