Endocrinologists who are Physicians - Palm City, FL

"Review is 100% for the office manager and staff. Never got to see the doctor. I’ve never been treated with such unprofessionalism and rudeness at a doctors office in my life. I had researched Dr. Renanit Barron and was super excited to see her. I even cancelled other appointments and waited longer just to see her in hopes of getting some major issues addressed. I moved my entire work day around and delayed leaving town this weekend just to see her. The office called me to confirm my appointment with her not once but several times this past week which I thought was weird. Each time I said yes and reiterated my question that I was confirming Dr. Renanit at the West Palm Beach office to which I was told yes. Upon arriving today, I was told that I’d now be seeing a Dr. Cindy. I was super confused and asked where Dr. Renanit was and was told she was not at the office today. I expressed to the gentleman at the front office that I had specifically requested Dr. Renate and was confirmed that I would see her and asked why nobody called to tell me if she wasn’t in today and he said he doesn’t know and that all new patients go to see this other doctor. That’s not OK with me. If I schedule an appointment specifically with a doctor that I researched, then that’s the doctor I expect to see. I don’t know any other office where you go and they confirm you’re gonna see a specific doctor and they give you a different doctor of the day of and tell you tough that’s how it is. The front office person then told me let me see if I can get you into the Jupiter office today to see Dr. Renee and walked out of the room to speak on his cell phone privately. Then he came into the waiting room with his cell phone and handed it over to me saying this is the office manager. When she got on the phone she was like what can I do for you? And I was like “what do you mean what can you do for me? I was just told you were trying to fit me into the Jupiter office today”. She then proceeds to tell me that she’s not gonna talk until I’m done talking which I thought was a weird comment. She then tells me that the office policy is that they absolutely do not promise you get to see a doctor if you show up to the office when you schedule an appointment. I asked her for clarification on what she was saying… Was she saying that people can schedule appointments show up and no doctors there and they are not liable for notifying you? Or she saying that the specific doctor you request to see is not guaranteed to be there? I was in disbelief at her rude response. She literally had the nerve to say “I don’t know why you’re not understanding this. I can’t control how your brain works but listen to me. I’m gonna tell you one more time. I don’t think this office is for you and we don’t promise people get to see doctors.” I told her I thought it was very rude. I’ve never been spoken to you this way and she reiterated once again that this office wasn’t for me. I was then given my money back. No apology for anything. No apology that I wasn’t notified. My doctor wouldn’t be there or that they had another doctor. I could potentially see and explain who this new doctor is to see if I’d even be interested in seeing the other doctor. I’m so utterly upset with this situation right now. This is my health that I’m dealing with. And to finally find a doctor you think can help you find answers to heal and get better and only to have their office manager in office. Staff be so rude and prevent that from happening is disgusting and unacceptable. "

"Completely underwhelmed by Doctor and PA. Newly diagnosed and neither seem to have competent answers, seemed an inconvenience for them to even be asked. No pamphlets, no explanations, no distinguishable concern. Wasn’t thrilled after my first visit, but thought I would follow through in case it was a bad day. Knew immediately after that 2nd visit I needed to find another Doctor asap. Saw a new endocrinologist this week and it was night and day difference and why I decided to write a review. I would now call Dr Castro and his PA Incompetent. "

"I have been a patient of Dr Ergin for over 3 years and as a Type 1 diabetic for 45+ years he has turned my life around. He listens to concerns and helps to point you in the right direction. My numbers have never been better and I attribute much of this to him. My wife has also seen him regarding issues with osteoporosis and was also impressed with her concerns being addressed in a caring manner. Highly recommend this young physician."

"I have been a patient of Dr Rodriguez for over 2 yrs, since she opened her Endocrinologist office in Stuart. The staff is delightful and the Dr is thorough, explains everything, and always has a smile and pleasant demeanor. She takes time to answer questions and explain medications etc. I have recommended her to others and am very pleased to have such a conscientious and thorough endocrinologist!"

"I had met with my OBGYN and she had gave me a referral to get my thyroid checked, told me to schedule with an endo. So I scheduled with this office and within two days they called and left a voice mail saying they were going to cancel the appointment because they “don’t treat painful periods”. I was shocked and asked to speak with another nurse to hopefully explain the situation and get things figured out but she was nasty on the phone. No compassion and lack of care. Didn’t listen to me or tried to help in anyway. She said to me “we don’t treat people your age” she made very disgusting comments about how period pain is normal and isn’t something they treat but they DO treat for hyperthyroidism. I wouldn’t recommend scheduling here if you’re under the age of 65 because they will treat you less than human. Very sad. Wish I got to have a personal experience with the doctor but the nurses and scheduling staff is unprofessional. God forbid something very serious was going on. "

"Dr Ventura is excellent, top notch in all ways. But the front desk need a new face, someone helpful, knowledgeable. She always charged more than the patient have to pay and she doesn't listen. Very rude"
