The doctor did not listen to my problem. He was rude and refused to give me any solutions other than the emergency room - for a problem that is not emergent. He refused to explore other treatment options. Initially I began vomiting during the appointment before we had discussed treatment or plans going forward - nausea was the main concern for the appointment. He offered to get me an Emesis bag and left the room. Then a nurse brought me discharge papers without me finishing speaking with the dr. I insisted on seeing him to finish the conversation and have a plan going forward. He continued to insist there was nothing he could do - that he wouldn't order the test he agreed that I needed because of the nausea. He didn't provide options for treating the nausea and continued insisting the ER was the only choice. He insited I needed a test that was already done and normal, and when I refused an unnecessary CT scan he said "there's nothing I can do so go to the ER" When I called my mother - my health care agent - for help in explaining the issue he told her that "even if you're her mom or health care agent, I don't have to talk to you. She is an adult so I don't won't talk to you. She asked if she could ask a question and he said "you can ask one but then I have other patients and don't have time to talk with you or her anymore." She asked what to do because the ER wasn't going to have an effective long term fix for the issue and they couldn't provide ongoing care. And he said "I don't know what else you want me to do. I don't know what's causing the problem and can't figure that out in the clinic so go to the ER or see another doctor in a few weeks." I have never been treated with such disrespect and incompetence. My mother and I are considering filing formal reports against him for the treatment.

You guys can mostly improve by having a doctor actually physically examine me and look at me to see what is wrong instead of telling me that he don't feel like he needs to examine me or poke around on me and didn't really give me any feedback on what I went to the doctor's office for.

You guys can mostly improve by having a doctor actually physically examine me and look at me to see what is wrong instead of telling me that he don't feel like he needs to examine me or poke around on me and didn't really give me any feedback on what I went to the doctor's office for.

I love Dr. Fomero and Cynthia, the nurse that I work with. They were wonderful. Their chemistry together and then also the care that they give me, it was beyond what I could ask for. I thank them. I thank Dr. Fomero. And I also thank Cynthia because everything they taught to me, they made sure I understood. And the care, it was just a pleasant experience.

He is an amazing doctor and it was a delight to walk into a doctor's office, into the exam room and have such a polite doctor to listen to what you had to say and listen to you and have a conversation with a doctor and not be interrupted.

I was very afraid and stressed when I arrived for my appointment. Dr. Foromera made me feel at ease and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated that.

The doctor did not listen to my problem. He was rude and refused to give me any solutions other than the emergency room - for a problem that is not emergent. He refused to explore other treatment options. Initially I began vomiting during the appointment before we had discussed treatment or plans going forward - nausea was the main concern for the appointment. He offered to get me an Emesis bag and left the room. Then a nurse brought me discharge papers without me finishing speaking with the dr. I insisted on seeing him to finish the conversation and have a plan going forward. He continued to insist there was nothing he could do - that he wouldn't order the test he agreed that I needed because of the nausea. He didn't provide options for treating the nausea and continued insisting the ER was the only choice. He insited I needed a test that was already done and normal, and when I refused an unnecessary CT scan he said "there's nothing I can do so go to the ER" When I called my mother - my health care agent - for help in explaining the issue he told her that "even if you're her mom or health care agent, I don't have to talk to you. She is an adult so I don't won't talk to you. She asked if she could ask a question and he said "you can ask one but then I have other patients and don't have time to talk with you or her anymore." She asked what to do because the ER wasn't going to have an effective long term fix for the issue and they couldn't provide ongoing care. And he said "I don't know what else you want me to do. I don't know what's causing the problem and can't figure that out in the clinic so go to the ER or see another doctor in a few weeks." I have never been treated with such disrespect and incompetence. My mother and I are considering filing formal reports against him for the treatment.

Dr. Foromera has wonderful, wonderful patient relationship, doctor-patient relationship. Very kind, very gentle, which is exactly what you need when you don't feel well.
