Romero Carlos A MD

My experience at Doctor Romero’s office was the worst of my life. I escorted my 75 year old mother there to see him; we should have known it was a bad idea when we saw boxes labeled «scizzors» on the shelf. Romero is rude and dismissive and basically on vacation, he strikes me as a doctor that is not yet ready to retire but is past the point of working– or even being compassionate– he is a d*ck in so many ways — but can mostly be seen by his general disposition — we were referred to him by doctor P. who said that Dr. Romero was going to perform surgery on my mom’s hernia/​gal bladder– but it seems that Mr. Romero can’t be bothered with performing surgery, he eluded to this fact when he told us that Dr. Zito was going to do it– he then berated my mom about not knowing who Dr. Zito was, he was her doctor? And he said that she should try and remember the doctors she sees… my mom asks where he was located, he couldn’t tell us, but assured us we «would be in good hands like allstate.» later i find out that Dr. Zito– HAS BEEN RETIRED FOR YEARS!!! but we are in good hands right? and we are the one with the problem because we didnt remember seeing him? riiight a couple of other things pissed me off during our short time in his office– if Dr. Romero thinks you should stop talking he will put his hand up (in a talk to the hand fashion) VERY PROFESSIONAL. Also my mom has swelling in her feet, which is very recent– I told her she should ask him about that and make sure one thing doesn’t have to do with the other– to which his response was «I don’t have all day to sit here and talk medicine with you» yes, but do u have 30 seconds? Cause that’s all that question required. This man needs to retire, or be put out of the business and stop collecting copays for calling everyone sweetie and caressing their faces, really its not needed especially in a professional setting. When I went back into the office to tell the receptionist Dr. Zito is retired –Romero had left the patient in the room to tell the receptionists– word for word– «If anyone calls I will take it, I’ll just be in here doing nothing» I know humor, this was not it… this guy is just collecting a check he is arrogant and im thankful we saw his true colors I wouldn’t let this guy take my mom out for a cup of coffee let alone cut her open
