Dr. Imbastari is an excellent doctor, she does not hesatate to take care of your health problems. She is good listener and doesn't rush you out the door. She makes sure you are up to date on your shots and annual checkups. She is ver kind and cares about your concerns.
There are times when you have to wait but she is worth it.

I am appalled at the negative ratings!She has been my doctor for over 17 years & many times when I have called with a problem they have fit me in that very day,a couple times after hours! Other times, she has called me herself to answer questions/clarify test results which are ALWAYS mailed to me with her notes! Last year they squeezed me in on a Monday. She gave me an R/X & said come back Thurs. I did, but still had problems. She scheduled an MRI Fri. AM. She called me within 2 hrs. & said go to the hospital! I did; ER admitted me. She called my room Sat. at 11:30AM to see how I was feeling.It was a serious problem; I was there 8 days! Her staff from front desk to nurses have ALWAYS been friendly & helpful. She has ALWAYS paid attention to my concerns. And the (very) few times when she has not been available her partner, Dr. V., has called me, prescribed &/or seen me. I know/have met many of her other patients & they all have the same praise for her that I do! She's wonderful!

Dr. Imbastari misdiagnosed my son who has ADD. She told me she doesn't like kids to be tagged but in my son's case she was totally wrong. He was diagnosed at age 5 with ADD and 10 yrs later my son wanted to be re-evaluated and her diagnosis was that he never got ADD. She doesn't even have a Psychologist title to say such a thing.Would NEVER recommend her.

Dr Imbastari is in the wrong profession. She is very "hands off." She literaly walks into the room with her hands up, she just looks like she's afraid to touch you. Her medical knowledge has yet to impress me. Misdiagnosis, referal to a horrible ob doc, and at 33 years old,she told me, "there just comes a time when we can't do everything we want." I wanted to run, had some knee pain, and went in requesting a referal to an orthopedic doc. The front office staff is less than helpful. I have called and requested to speak with Dr. Imbastari on a few ocassions, every time I have been denied the request. The office Rn called back, misdiagnosed me over the phone and prescribed me antibiotics that I didn't need. Overall, NOT happy with this office, will be looking for a new doctor soon!

Several years ago Dr.Imbastari treated my stepfather. He was 89 at the time and was a smoker all his life. He went in for breathing difficulty and was told nothing wrong. Symptoms remained, he went back a 2nd time, and was again told nothing wrong and that he should not come back as medicare won't pay her to treat someone with no problem (all without even doing an X-ray). After several months of continuing problems, he finally went to another Dr. who immediately took an X-Ray and referred him urgently to an Oncologist who diagnosed late stage lung cancer. Although he was old, he was otherwise in good health and likely would have had substantially more life if the cancer was caught earlier. Unfortunately this Dr. did not have the decency to treat an elderly person with even a minimum of respect, to listen, to investigate or even to refer him, instead simply mis-diagnosed and assumed his complaints were simply "old age."

Last time had to wait over two hours for her, for 70 minutes I was waiting naked in the examination room. She misdiagnosed my condition, later properly diagnosed by a specialist. She forgot to give me a prescription I had requested, then her staff wouldn't allow me to ask her for it, saying they would mail it to me, which never did do. Her staff is rude. I was surprised that I had to call to request that test results be sent to me for blood work and bone density tests. She is a pleasant, nice person but I need more professional medical care.

Doesn't listen, prevents care (would not refer to established specialist), wrong diagnosis several times, can't interpret blood work, doesn't take symptoms seriously, caused physical pain & embarrassment during appointments. Very concerned for herself & her own life/conditions & profits; she & nurses rude, inappropriate, unprofessional, judgmental. Office staff rude and unskilled, inexperienced, pushy, sent medical records to wrong place which compromised my privacy & caused a lot of other problems for me.
