Insurance scammer! I went to see Mr. Magardino in early December. He came into the room, looked at the one sentence the receptionist had written down, and told me without even looking at me yet that he knew what was wrong. When I started explaining what was actually going on with me (because the receptionist had written down the wrong information), he started to yell at me. I tried to explain further, to which he just yelled louder. Then, to prove to me that I was wrong, he said he would look down my nose. He couldn’t get the otoscope attachment in more than 1/4 of the way, so I told him it was painful, so he rolled his eyes, left the room, and brought back an endoscope. I told him that my nose was swollen shut and that he wouldn’t be able to get it in due to the swelling, and I told him I didn’t want it done. He looked at me and said, "I’m the doctor; I went to school for this, not you." Well, this next news is shocking, I know. He couldn’t get that in either, and it was very painful! He continued to yell at me about how I should just breathe through my mouth since I can’t breathe through my nose and that he’s not going to fix my nose because it’s not a problem. Mind you, my nose is swollen shut, therefore I can’t breathe through it, and many other doctors have said that an ENT would be able to fix it. I have been diagnosed multiple times for the same thing, and he refused to look at previous medical notes. The appointment was for 3–4 minutes maximum. I went up to the front to pay in tears. The receptionist said she charged my insurance, but I still owed $300+ for the appointment. I then spoke to the office manager, and she said she would call me back and that I wouldn’t have to pay until the issue was resolved. I never received a call back. But I did call my insurance, and shockingly, they never received a bill from this office. They informed me that this was normal for doctors who don’t want the insurance companies to come after them for falsifying charges, not providing proper care, etc. My insurance company gave me a case number, and they’re contacting their fraud department. A few weeks passed, and a charge for the amount they said I still owed showed up on my card.
If getting the worst care possible from a chauvinistic waste of time scammer is your thing, this is the place for you!
If you want to get charged for a procedure you didn’t agree to or receive, this is the place for you!
If you enjoy being yelled at, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
If you want decent, above-board care, go anywhere but here.
