David Romeo, MD

STAY AWAY from this Doctor!
My husband, who was in extreme pain from an inflamed knee, called dr. romeo’s office asking to see the dr right away. To my surprise, they actually squeezed him in was able to see him the next day.
When my husband went to see Dr. Romeo, all the dr did was examine my husband’s old bump ON HIS HEAD (he saw the doctor about this at his last visit… like 2 years ago!!) that had nothing to do with the knee. Even better, he didn’t even examine his knee! Dr. Romeo dismissed my husband and said that he think it’s inflamed due to high blood pressure (which he later explained that that was an «educated» guess from looking at my husband’s chart from 1.5 yrs ago btw). My husband was denied when he asked to be referred to a specialist. He came home w/​no solution, no meds, no suggestion but to just «lower your blood pressure».
Me being frustrated, called the doctor myself and gave him my piece of mind… I asked why didn’t he examine the knee? Why did he ASSUME that it was his blood pressure? And why in the hell would he not refer him to a specialist if he did not know what the cause of inflamation is? And I warned him if he does not refer him immediately, that I will report him to the medical board, insurance companies, anywhere and everywhere possible so everyone will know what kind of doctor he is. Dr. Romeo filled out an referral form immediately after and my husband was able see a specialist soon after. He fixed his TORN ACL a week later w/​no surgery. What do ya know… it wasn’t his high blood pressure like the doctor suspectedl! hmph!
If you want proper care and knowledgeable doctor; I highly suggest you change your primary physician to someone else. No doubt we will be!

This doctor is by far the most wishy washy doctor I have ever seen in my life. After seeing him for sore ribs and telling him I am trying to conceive — he still prescribes pills that are dangerous for pregnancy. When I called him back he said there is no alternative and he would prescribe what we want — how are we the patients who pay him money supposed to tell him what to prescribe. Useless waste of time — don’t go to him if you care about your health, time, finances and peace of mind…

I was calling in to make an appointment as a new patient. First call I had to verify who I was calling because the receptionist answered the phone as if she were answering a personal call. After confirming that I called the correct place, I was placed on a 7 minute hold. I called back later talked to the receptionist and let her know that I’m interested in becoming a new patient and she asked that I call back in 15 minutes because she was too busy. WOW!

I give this guy credit for squeezing me in at the last moment, but that’s about all I give him credit for.
His secretary acts like a drone and treats you like nothing more than a 20 dollar copay.
The doctor, David, is flippant and casual about his diagnosis. He didn’t seem to really offer advice, tips, or anything on my shoulder (which I suspected was separated). I would call him a lazy doctor.
On top of that, he sends me off to get X-​rays, and doesn’t even call me back to let me know what they found or didn’t find.
The guy is simply lucky he’s in network for some insurance networks, or no one would go back to him.
Avoid him if you can!

He was very helpful and willing to take the time to evaluate my health and wasn’t shy about asking the tough questions. The facility itself is great in the sense that there are multiple specialties all located in the same building and they don’t shy away from the multitudes of patients who come with needs for medical attention. The pharmacy is also located downstairs in the lobby with a larger store north of the building (one door away) located outside.
Dr. David is a pleasant man who was very attentive to my needs when asking general questions. I will be back but hopefully not too soon :)
