Dr. Bove questioned why I was on SDDI. When I told him I had mental illness, he then asked what psychotropic meds I was on. When I told him none he threw me out of his office without treating me and called me a fraud. He then billed Medicare despite refusing to treat me and put me in collections for the co-pay. This man discriminated against me because of my mental illness and defrauded Medicare himself. He is a horrible human being.

I was reffered to Dr. Bove for prostate problems. He was busy, but very congenial, and I thought he and his staff gave great service. He prescribed some antibiotics and I got better soon afterwards. I had a very good experience with and his office.

I went to dr. Bove on a Thursday at 4:00 he said I needed a different antibiotic than what they prescribed at the hospital I told him what pharmacy I had, after he asked. I watched him right it down. At 6:00 I went to the pharmacy to pick up my script they said nothing was called in. By this time the dr.s office was closed. I called first thing in the morning and they said it should have been there, but they would look into it. I got a call from the office half hour later at 9:30 and they said my script would be ready at 10:00 when I got out of work at 3:00 I went back to the pharmacy to get my medicine and they said they still didn't have any prescription for me. I called the dr.s office again and they said it should have been there but they would call it in instead of sending it electronically. I went to the pharmacy a little after 5:00 to pick it up and once again and they still did not get a call. Dr.s are closed on the weekend so I had to wait until Monday before trying to get my medicine. This was the most ridiculous thing ever if they are not competent enough to call in a script how could they give people medical advice. I won't be going back and warn you to stay away they are complete morons. I had to wait 4 days just to get an antibiotic because of there negligence I should have been getting better by then

Had the big 'V' done and it would've been great if he waited at least for the numbing agent to kick in...OUCH GEEEZ! Was obviously late for the Golf course or was looking to set a new procedure record. I think it took 10 minutes!

Went to "Dr." Bove because Rutland Regional referred me to him after having a Kidney Stone. First visit, he tells me I need a CAT scan. He said he is unable to help me any further unless he knew what my exact situation was. Reluctantly, I went and had it done (I know about the adverse effects of Radiation). The results showed I had a few small stones on my left side, but he told me he there isn't really anything can do because it's most likely genetic. Wow.. thanks genius. I stop seeing him because every 5 minute visit costs me about 150 dollars. NO THANKS. About a month ago I was getting Kidney Stone symptoms again and asked if he was able to prescribe something for the pain until I pass it. He recommendation was to send me through the CAT scan AGAIN! I told him I did not want to go because I had one 7 months ago. He told me I was out of luck and he couldn't do anything. Hey Erny, how much does RRMC give you every time you send someone through that radiation chamber? You are a joke.
