Endocrinologists who are Physicians - Riverview, FL

"I have been seeing Dr.Chandra for quite a few years. He has been very thorough, punctual, and professional. "

"I do not recommend this doctor unless you enjoy spending ridiculous amounts of your time on the phone begging and pleading for the medication she tells you to take. No one EVER answers the phone when you call and when you leave a message, it takes days to get a callback, and sometime not at all. I understand the priority is patient appointments but even that is not a priority because she doesn’t take appointments after 2:30, which is incredibly inconvenient for those with full-time jobs. Plus, there is a medical assistant and a front desk person. The doctor says that she needs 48 hours to fill medication requests, which is certainly reasonable but actually it takes over a week, resulting in missed doses. And once the wrong medication was sent, which could be quite dangerous. When I shared my concerns with her and asked how we can find a solution, she became very defensive, angry, argumentative and highly unprofessional. My approach was very calm. I simply told her that I’ve been having some trouble getting my prescription orders and wanted to see if there is anything that can be done to eliminate the lag. Unfortunately, she did not respond with the same collaborative tone and approach. I was quite shocked. It is clear that her priority is protecting her fragile ego, not actually helping her patients. What is the point of recommending medication to patients and then not caring whether they actually can get it or not? Apparently, she considers it “waiting until the last minute” when I request medication 1 week before I need it. And calling once a day (because I need my medication and they don’t return calls) is “calling too much”. In addition to these issues, I also noted multiple egregious errors in my medical records. I truly hope that, at some point, she remembers why she decided to become a doctor and puts the focus back on her patients. They are coming to her for help, not to have their time and money wasted or to be subjected to her condescending, dismissive, combative response to a simple inquiry. Perhaps she was just having a bad day (she complained repeatedly about how many patients she has a day) but that does not excuse the week (plus) delays in getting medication, the lack of returned calls, the difficulty making appointments and the errors in my chart. There are plenty of other endocrinologists out there. Take the time to find one who prioritizes your needs and is open to feedback and collaboration. "

"My wife and myself have seen Dr Luna for serveal years,so much so that when he transferred we went with him. Dr luna cares."

"VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HUMBLE DOCTOR. MANAGES PATIENT'S HEALTH WELL. INTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE ON DM AND THYROID CARE."

"First visit, difficult to get a word in. She kept cutting me off. Sent me for labs and MRI. I saw that I had a brain tumor, requested a sooner visit, which was like pulling teeth. Telehealth visit was complete waste. She literally read the results of brain tumor during telehealth call. No other answers or solutions. I asked what the next step would be, she said someone would get back to me. No one did. After many calls and messages, I was told to follow-up with a weightloss program for a BRAIN TUMOR. I went there for chronic fatigue and severe migraines with nausea. Still haven't discussed labs. Can't get any answers. You'll speak to 20 different people at the office and never hear anything back. Worst experience I've ever had with any doctor. She is not interested in concerns. She is too busy or doesn't care to respond or follow-up. I'm completely shocked and disappointed. "
