Hassan Baydoun Md's Online Review Report Card

I was treated by Dr Alaa Boulad. It was a horrible experience. During a heart cath, I felt it and was wide awake whole time, experiencing much pain. After was in pain several weeks and bruised severely from groin area and all the way around to hip, due to where went in for cath, after he blew out trying to go in arm. After procedure, went to follow up, dr boulad said he wanted me back in a week to do ultrasound on entry area to see if anything concerning is going where he plugged artery. While checking out receptionist, who sets appointments, said that's not going to work and set me appointment over a month away. Being concerned, I called office after leaving and told desk, I want the dr to know how long his office girl set my appointment out and I'd like a call to discuss. Never got the call. I scheduled my own ultrasound with Inverness Medical Imaging and got it done in a couple days. I canceled future appointments with this doctor and got a new one. Very poor care and no compassion or concern about patients well being. Over a month later my artery would be whatever it was going to wind up being, whether it leaked or healed. Sincerely, James

My husband and I were both patients of Dr. Baydoun for approximately three years and were very satisfied with his service. We have since moved to Indiana, but would highly recommend him.

Terrible. Doesn't listen then rambles on and gets angry when asked questions. Told me to go to my primary if I needed anything else.

Nothing is posted on their patient portal to ensure you go back and pay another visit for results.. The explanation is not in-depth; did I really need the tests which provide more income to their office? Don't know because you don't ever get to see the tests or results.

I can't say enough about Dr. Baydoun. He saved my husband's life with his skills and recommendation of a great surgeon! His staff however was a much different story. The followup appointment for open-heart surgery should have been scheduled 2 weeks out after seeing the surgeon, but his staff insisted on me bringing him in 3 days after discharge from the hospital. They insisted that it is their "office policy" to be seen within a week of the surgery! I even called back a second time to try and make them understand that this was a quadruple bypass with aortic valve replacement and NOT a heart catheterization..... but they stood firm with their "policy" rules. He sat in the waiting room for an hour and because it was so soon after discharge they didn't even have the records from Citrus Memorial Hospital. When I finally got him home, he was in so much discomfort it took the rest of the day to get his pain under control, not to mention the amount of swelling in his legs!

Had a Cardiac Cath. last week and couldn't be more pleased with how the procedure went. Dr.Baydoun is a very competent and caring doctor, easy to talk to and he explains everything in detail and I would highly recommend him for all your Cardiac needs. Citrus Memorial Cath Lab staff were also excellent.
