Vijay B Narasimha's Online Review Report Card

This has been the worst experience ever. My husband had surgery at Brandon Hospital. Never will go there again. Terrible encounter with the staff knowledge and professionalism at this Hospital. Will not go to another Doctor affiliated with that Hospital. We have not waited less than an hour for or scheduled appointment at this office.

I like Dr. Narasimha, he has a great personality and is a good doctor. I enjoyed my visit to his office, and he does excellent work. He installed a Tunneled CVC Catheter for Hemodialysis treatments. I will return to see him soon, Thank you, Jeffery Evans

Horrible bad doctor please not visit this office staff is really rude not help patient with referral emergency doctor nothing professional never visit this office more.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My first appt, waited 2.5 hours in the waiting room, when I asked was told “there is only one doctor working today” but people who came after me got called in first. Would have left but I needed a referral from him. When I finally got called back, another 30 before he came in. And then he spent all of three minutes with me. Second time, waited an hour and then, same thing...another 3 minutes. Trying to get him to send the referral was a mess too. His office took over two months to send paperwork to my insurance company. And then tried to say they had tried to contact me...no, they didn’t. Avoid this doctor and this office at all costs!

very personable and reassuring

I am sharing this to express my distaste for DR VIJAY NARASIMHA and his lack of professionalism. I am coworker to a family that was very shamed at their appointment for a post op. I am writing as my coworker discussed the office visit my heart was broken to hear the treatment she received from the provider and front office staff. VERY Disturbing I would never recommend this surgeon to any of my friends or family. My coworker’s uncle resides in Largo and was transferred from Largo to Brandon Regional passing two major trauma centers due to blood clots in his lower extremities. He was accepted by VIJAY NARASIMHA as a patient with no insurance coverage. He was brought in the office for a post-operative visit and was treated very poorly. When the appointment was scheduled Barbara answered and was very abrupt, she had to advise Barbara that she was a customer and her rudeness is not a very good reflection on the provider or the office. Barbara continued the call in better spirits. When she checked her uncle in for the post op apt she was at the window standing in the waiting area and the front office representative was expressing that they needed to pay for the visit and the provider services due to him staying up all night and working 8 hours on his feet he need to get paid for his services. My coworker explained that she is trying to assist her Uncle he has no money / no transportation/ no phone and lives in a trailer in Largo. She was contacted by the Largo sheriff office that he was in Brandon Regional hospital after a missing person’s report was filed. The representative was very strong and showed no compassion or restraint due to HIPPA VIOLATION or shame of other patients in the lobby. She stated she would need to speak with provider to check if he can be seen…..he had no choice it’s a post op visit and he needed to remove staples no other provider would do so. When finally called back he was not triaged just placed in a room asked to remove his clothes in the area. The resident came in she was very nice and remembered him from the surgery she had compassion and understand she was true to her oath as a provider to help the people. The resident stepped out and DR NARASIMHA entered the room stood away from the patient and very sternly stated “how are you feeling Mr Osuna, I worked 8 hours on you and you need to pay me for my services. Mr Osuna responded appreciate all you have done for me and unfortunately I understand that has no monetary value. I have no money Doctor. The doctor said you need to figure it out you get social security you need to pay me for my services. Doctor Narasimha never acknowledged the niece just walked out the room. The resident came in removed the staples and they walked out the office no office staff came back to assist in anyway. This is so disheartening that a provider will make a family feel so bad and treat them so poorly. Heartbroken coworker

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER !!!!!!! NEVER WILL I LET MY FAMILY GO BACK TO SEE THIS DOCTOR OR HIS CLINIC. MY UNCLE HAD AN EMERGENCY SURGERY AND THIS DOCTOR TOOK HIS CASE KNOWING HE HAD NO INSURANCE ( WHICH HE BROUGHT ALL THE WAY FROM LARGO TO TAKE THE CASE ).WHEN WE WENT TO SEE HIM FOR THE POST OP HE TREATED MY UNCLE LIKE HE WAS DIRTY DID NOT EVEN TOUCH HIM TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS OKAY THE ONLY THING HE SAID WAS " SIR YOU NEED TO PAY ME BECAUSE I STOOD 8 HOURS ON MY FEET TO SAVE YOUR LIFE. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I MET A DOCTOR SO UNPROFFESSIONAL AND RUDE. YOU TOOK THE CASE KNOWING HIS SITUATION. YOU ARE A DOCTOR AND YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY TO DO YOUR JOB NOT FOR THE MONEY BUT FOR THE PATIENTS HEALTH. YOU JUST DONT MENTION THAT TO SOMEONE WHO HAD SURGERY AND ASK THEM TO FIGURE OUT PATIENT SITUTATION WITH THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK, THATS NOT YOUR BUSINESS. VERY SAD TO SEE WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO THAT PEOPLE CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN SOMEONE ELSE LIFE.

Awesome doctor!!! He saved my husband's leg. Then he saved me from a Stroke!!! I highly recommend him and his great staff. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable.

I’ve been having tummy issues for a long time and finally a Doctor who knows what he’s doing. Dr Narashimba made me feel totally comfortable with his knowledge and he removed my gallbladder, I highly recommend him.

Had an excellent result with Dr. Narasimha.
