Neurologist
 
Today I had an absolute horrible experience at a neurologist in The Villages who has the manners of a bedpan. This person has the worst review ever, on TOTV. What I would like to see if there is anyone who has gone outside of The Villages, and I don't care if it is to Gainesville, Jacksonville, Orlando or Tampa. I am just fed up with these so called humanoids and have had it with them. I am not asking for much, like today I waited one hour to see the doctor, and he spent less than 5 minutes explaining my MRI, got up and started walking out of the office. I asked where he was going and he said we were done. Oh really? I have another question about the other reason why I was there and I was told.....you'll have to make another appointment. So, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
rjc

Um, if this person has “the worst review ever...” why did you go to him?

What is his name?

Try the neurology department at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Mayo is rated #1 in the country for treating neurological disorders.

Do your own research. TOTV is the place for medical provider opinions, not facts.

One, because I did not check here first, and secondly, he was referred by my cardiologist. Live and learn !

I am quite aware of how one performs research as I have spent 37 years in the research sector of a top 100 company. Nowhere in my statement did I ask for facts and not opinions.

No one deserves such rude behavior -- least of all from their medical provider. Make sure you report your experience to the referring physician, your cardiologist so that he knows how you were treated.

If you are in The Villages HealthCare System my hubby just saw the neurologist at the Brownwood Specialty Offices and we loved him. He took time with us and diagnosed the problem, then explained thoroughly the diagnosis and the treatment to both of us. I don't remember his name and am not home right now. We are traveling. If you need his name I can get it for you when I get home this weekend. We only waited 15 minutes to see him and when he came in the office with us he said he had been researching the history so he could get a handle on my hubby's problem before he saw him.

Rude neurologists...really get on my nerves.

Excellent suggestion, and I don’t think one needs to be a member of TVH to see one of the specialists.

You are probably taking about Dr. John Castaldo. He was my husband's neurologist and I can't say enough good things about him. Very honest and caring.

rjcataniajr 09-29-2018 12:13 PM

Did you get his name ?????

biker1 09-29-2018 01:28 PM

I think it might be Harsha Rajashaker. I have seen him over some pain issues. I believe he is a neurologist/pain management guy. If it is indeed him, yes I liked him. Very personable and direct.

I second that.
