Dr. Ricardo A Calvo

My experience with Dr. Calvo was horrible! I went to him to get a physical and upon arriving in his office I noticed the building in which he was located smelled like saliva and especially his office. I just smelled dirty! My first appointment was scheduled for 2:30 but he wasn't even in his office until 3:30! As I sat in the exam room waiting for him, all I heard was him screaming at an elderly Chinese woman that she was being difficult. when he finally did come in to see me he looked like something out of Miami vice, in his cream colored suit and Hawaiian shirt with his chest hair and gold chains hanging out, smelling of a cologne that I'm sure my father wore in the 80's..He was nice enough but was way too close for comfort, he had no respect for personal space what so ever. I was then scheduled to have a nuclear stress test and when I arrived at the place for my 9:00am appointment at 8:30am I was assured by his office staff that he would be on time as I had a very important meeting to attend. The tech that did my imaging was very nice and I was all ready to have the stress test administered at 9:30am except for one problem. My doctor was nowhere to be found. I and this poor Tech called his office about 15 times and the poor receptionist in his office called him numerous times. Dr. Calvo didn't make it there till 12:30!!! Way to stress your patients out before a stress test. When he arrived I had convinced the tech to administer my stress test and was already finishing up. I did the second part of my imaging and was rushing out because I was late for my meeting. He was annoyed that I was upset and kept trying to explain things to me; he said I seemed upset; I lost it at that point and yelled that I was in fact upset that I had waited 3 hours and now I have to leave. He said he was sorry I had to wait, and I said yea me too, and left. The next day I went in for an echo and waited a 1 1/2hrs to see him again because he was not in his office. I requested all of my tests and results from the ladies at the front desk and am glad I won't be seeing him again. The only good thing about this experience was his nurse and receptionist; I don't know how they could work for him!

If i was able to give 0 stars i would! i would NOTTT recommend this doctor at all first of all he is VERY rude not only does he disrespect his patients i've heard him disrespect his WIFE who is his assistant there in front of everybody. i found myself feeling embarrassed for her and she was professional enough to not respond !! not to mention the way he talks to his front desk . i have been working 23 years in a hospital and NEVER has any other doctor spoken to me that way! like he is better than you in a degrading manner with shame. second this doctor is always ALWAYS late! I never in all the time i went to him spent less than 2 to 3 hours there waiting. he has no respect for anyones time and even though his staff reaches out to him to ask when he is coming he always says he is on his way or 10 minutes and then another hour passes by. i myself and other patients have walked out because its not fair we have to accommodate our schedule around him! i transferred out and the cardiologist i have now is great always on time and he always listens to me he doesn't try to talk over me! my personal opinion is he should retire i think his time is up and should not practice anymore i don't feel he has any compassion and looks like he hates his job. always in a bad mood! hope you all take this under consideration if you are thinking of choosing this doctor DON'T!

This is the place to go if you want to spend your entire day sitting in a crowded waiting room. Went to this guy twice, arrived on time. Both times, the doctor didn't even arrive to the office until an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment and then I waited for him to start to catch up with his appointments. Trying to figure out which is worse - the side effects of high blood pressure or sitting in this guy's office for another day. I would recommend going to somebody who is more respectful of your time.

No bedside manner. Rude and mismanaged my father's medications. Doesn't answer questions. Just arrogant and rude. Brushes cares and concerns under the rug.

Thank you Doctor Calvo for extending my mom's life. Thank you for been there and prevent my father to have a heart attack. No other words to say than THANK YOU....
