I am appalled and utterly disgusted by the deplorable treatment I received at Piedmont Endocrinology in Hickory, NC. The level of incompetence and apathy displayed by this establishment is beyond belief. From the moment I called to confirm my appointment, it became painfully clear that the staff at Piedmont Endocrinology lacks any sense of professionalism, courtesy, or basic empathy for their patients.

When I called to confirm my appointment, I was already met with a hostile attitude. Shockingly, I was informed that I had supposedly canceled my appointment in September during a call that never even took place. It is a blatant fabrication on the part of Piedmont Endocrinology to cover their own mistake of reaching out to the incorrect number. Rather than acknowledging their error, they chose to shift blame and refused to take any responsibility.

What followed was truly astonishing. Instead of rectifying their mistake, the staff at Piedmont Endocrinology went a step further and banned me from their office. This heinous behavior demonstrates that their priority lies in protecting their own ego rather than providing the care and service their patients deserve. It is utterly unacceptable for any medical establishment to treat patients in such a heartless manner.

It is evident that Piedmont Endocrinology is a place where patients are not regarded as human beings in need of care and compassion, but rather as inconveniences to be brushed aside. Their callous treatment of patients is indicative of a deeply rooted culture of indifference and disregard for the fundamental principles of medical ethics.

I strongly advise anyone seeking endocrinology services to avoid Piedmont Endocrinology in Hickory, NC at all costs. This establishment has proven, through their appalling treatment and lack of accountability, that they are unfit to provide the care and support that patients require. Choose a medical practice that values its patients, even if it means driving a little further.

He has the God complex. He did not listen. He got angry when we asked questions. He continued to berate us because he couldn't find my spouse's bloodwork in the file although it was there.

Dr. Orozco is a great doctor. I was really impressed with his bedside manner and he was professional and courteous during my visit. I brought my wife to the appointment and he spent a lot of time to both of us about my diabetes. He answered all my questions and has helped lower my A1C since I began seeing him.
