You guys, I’m serious, something is wrong with his wife, the old lady up front. Eddy Rudnick Pineless. She is a horrible human being. No compassion, no empathy. Only disrespectful mouthy old lady.

Seriously something is wrong with her.

The staff is the worse, they refused to see my dad because paperwork wasn't filled out prior to getting there. He is 84years old and he doesn't own a printer or computer. They said if he gets there 30 min prior he could fill it, problem is that he depends on Medicare transportation. He got there at his appointment time and he had someone there to fill out paperwork with that could have been done in five minutes, but they refused to let him see the doctor. Then they had the nerve to say we need to reschedule, sorry no thank you their are other neurologist is in the city. He traveled really far and he has no other form of transportation other than Medicare transportation.

Dr. Pineless is old and out of touch. Worst experience I ever had.

Interesting. I don't know who you are or why you are disgruntled. You didn't have the courage to identify yourself or call me so I could correct the situation. I don't even know if you ever, in fact, met our doctor! Dr. Pineless' peers do not agree. He was, once again, voted to be on of Orlando Magazine's Top Doctors for 2020. Whomever you may be, I wish you the best of health.
Sincerely, Edy Rudnick, Practice Manager

If you have to see a neurologist in central Florida, I could not recommend anyone but Dr. Pineless. He is warm, friendly and seems to genuinely care about you as a patient. He spoke with me for AN HOUR about my ailment and diagnosed me on my first visit. I have been struggling with nerve damage for years and the Dr. put me on a medication that has improved my pain by 70 percent. We are working on getting it to 100% The staff is friendly and caring and I cannot speak more highly of my experience

I was referred to Dr. Piineless by my PCP, who is also a DO. I was pleased with the entire interaction with his staff and the doctor. He was able to interpret, and provide a diagnosis for my issue that was logical and understandable. During another visit several years later, I went to see him with my wife, she had concerns that I thought were trivial. I was impressed that the doctor spent ample time gathering information from my wife's perspective, as he did conversing with me. He was thorough, even conducting verbal tests. He deferred a full evaluation until a MRI could be done. I am very satisfied with Dr. Pineless.

Worst doctor and practice manager I have ever experienced in my entire life. RUN AWAY from this office as fast as you can.

Interesting post. I believe I know who wrote this and why, despite your attempt at anonymity, as you did not get what you wanted in our recent interaction. It was not a request that we could appropriately accommodate. I am not at liberty to expose the issues here, due to federal privacy laws. I wish you good health.

The most unprofessional staff ever. Every time I had an appointment it was either the wrong time. It changed. Or the best one. The office had no injection needles and the doctor paid me $20 for gas money, because he was embarrassed. I was on a bunch of different medications enforce he decided Botox would work. He said people just want it free for and not for headaches. It worked for me. But now I've been discharged from his office because his office manager said they don't want my KIND in his office because I'm rude. I was 9 minutes late for an appointment and was refused. I drive and hour and a half to his office. She said come back at 5pm and he will see you. I said I'll wait. There was nobody else waiting. Finally at 11:15 I go in. Now they won't see me. Very unprofessional. There was an elderly lady that came in and the receptionist was incredibly rude to her. I felt bad for her she told the lady not to come back until she has her records it will just be a waste of her and the offices time.

Hi. This is Edy Rudnick, the NeuroCare Institute practice manager who spoke to you on the phone last week, so I know exactly who you are, despite your anonymous post. Since you decided to write this message on RateMDs, I am obligated to respond in an appropriate fashion.

As I said on the phone, you were dismissed from this practice because you had four cancelled appointments, two no-shows, and at your last appointment you showed up 30 minutes late for a 30-minute appointment. We re-worked our schedule to squeeze you in so you could have your revisit appointment necessary prior to your Botox treatment. That is why you had to wait.

In your post you said that the doctor tried you on other medications before he decided that Botox would work. This is true—and insurance companies require this "step" process before they will consider paying for Botox for migraines.

While you waited, you made a loud scene in the waiting room by using foul language and insults to my front office staff as you spoke both on your cell phone and directly to them. Three other patients who were waiting for their appointments were disturbed and complained to us about your inappropriate behavior. It is my responsibility to protect our staff and other patients from this type of behavior.

I wish you the best in finding another neurologist who will take care of you, but any worthy doctor would also dismiss you from their practice for the reasons listed above, so keep that in mind. I want you to be able to get the care you need. Wishing you good health!

Sincerely,
Edy Rudnick
Practice Manager

It's been a long time since I was going to this quack. He should be called Dr.clueless or Dr worthless. I was told I was freezing up because of anxiety. I thought it was multiple sclerosis and I was right. He was wrong. I should have listened to others who said he was a bad doctor. I went to a real neurologist and he said there was no information on the notes Dr worthless,
















Don't go to this doctor. He is a quack. I was badly misdiagnosed after getting the wrong tests. He was lazy and thought he had knowledge. He and his staff are rude and they treated me like a child. My immune system had a good time eating the myelin off my nerves and now I'm not able to walk. RUN FROM THIS QUACK. HE Should be Called DR.WORTHLESS!

Great experience with Dr. Pineless. Staff was great and very prompt and professional. Office was very nice and clean, unlike some medical offices, very tastefully decorated. Dr. Pineless was so nice and spent such a long time with us and did not seem to be in a hurry. He told us a few stories and his manner made me and my wife so glad he was our dr. He seemed genuinely interested in us. He did not prematurely diagnose me but I felt he understood my symptoms and was able to answer all our questions. Both my wife and I thought he was first class.
