Ronald Demasi's Online Review Report Card

He is homophobic never returns my phone calls after leaving 3-4 messages over a 6 month span. My own general doctor can’t even get through to him. The man in my views is a jerk and I would not trust my life with him

Never got to see him, only personal assistant who didn't know much. Appt was first one. Appt suppose to be with Dr.

I had internal and external hemorrhoid surgery with Dr. Demasi. Most PAINFUL recovery I've ever had. The worst part, the external hemorrhoids never went away. When I requested Dr. Demasi do my follow up exam, he was extremely irritated that I didn't want to see his assistant and took up his time. He checked for about 5 seconds and said everything was fine and left the room. No explanation as to why I still had and still do have external hemorrhoids.

A highly competent MD and decent person.

This was the most awful experience I’ve ever had with a physician. It was colonoscopy number five for me so I knew what to expect. Dr DiMasi has no bedside manner. I had my procedure at the Port Charlotte ambulatory surgery center and they were running it like a meat factory your next up, next, next.! We could all clearly hear everything going on. when I was laying on my gurney waiting for my turn I heard the nurse calling Monday’s patients. I was just there Friday. And I heard her say no I am sorry your ride will have to wait in the car or come back for you as we don’t have enough chairs in the waiting room because they were destroyed during the hurricane. Are you kidding me you can’t get some chairs in there? that hurricane was back on September 27.! further, the nurse that inserted my IV missed my vein in my hand, leaving a big bruise so she went to an inner forearm vein . I’m still sporting a bruise about the size of a 50 Cent, piece, deep purple I have veins like a junky , no reason to have missed it. As she was making her small talk with me she said, so what are you here for? I said a colonoscopy she said oh have you had polyps in the past? I said yes, but they’ve all been negative. She said well they’re could always be that one. ! Are you kidding me? This is what you say to someone getting ready to go in for a colonoscopy? Furthermore, after the procedure was over, I was asked if I would like a drink of water and someone so generously brought me about a quarter of an inch of warm water in a paper cup. How thoughtful of them! They wanted to get me up and out of that room so they could turn it over and so when they got me up out of the bed, there was blood about a softball size spot of blood on the peri pad. I looked at it and I looked at the nurse and she said oh that happens sometimes. It hadn’t happened in my previous four colonoscopies. I was alarmed! She said she was going to roll me into a conference room but they were all full so she said I’ll just back you up here so here I am in a hallway in this very small facility and Dr. came out. He went into each room to talk to each patient and he stopped at my wheelchair and he looked at me and he said everything was normal and he kept walking. Really everything was normal , I’ve had diverticulosis for years and years and that doesn’t go away so it wasn’t normal. Maybe I didn’t have any polyps, but he didn’t specify that. I’ve called his office twice in order to speak to someone about this. Nobody cared to return a call not even the office manager , you know where I won’t be going for my next colonoscopy and I don’t have a lot of faith I. the fact I was told this one was normal. After my previous colonoscopies at another facility I was sent home with a report complete with pictures. This time I was told I wouldn’t be getting anything when the results are normal ! Really? no report whatsoever! When I pressed the office about it and told her that I have had diverticulosis for years she said well maybe it’s gone now! It doesn’t go away, just very uninformed very uncaring people all the way around I suggest you look elsewhere for your endoscopy needs. This was pure greed and had meat factory written all over it. !

Would not go back again. He seemed distracted and disinterested in me as a patient. Demasi spent more time talking to his nursing assistant with personal chit-chat than than to me.

Simply the best.

Experienced, skilled, and compassionate. Recommended without reservation.

My spouse was having an endoscopy and colonoscopy. He wasn’t told to stop his blood thinners prior to surgery. Was asked by the pre op nurse and anesthesia if he’d taken his blood thinners. He told them yes. The procedure proceeded anyway. As a consequence my husband bled internally and had to be hospitalized for 2 days. Also had to repeat the endoscopy to stop the bleeding. This is not acceptable practice. Also, he has a terrible bedside manner and is arrogant and condescending.

As I read through these reviews, it seems apparent that either the reviews go unread, or simply do not care to improve on the complaints. Visit 1..long wait - no apologies. Dr. DeMasi explained shortly that he would see me before and after the procedure. Colonoscopy. Rolled in where his team prepped without speaking to me at any time. Dr. DeMasi on his cell phone with no acknowledgement. Waited nearly one hour for him to sign me out.....No apologies or other. Unacceptable! Learning opportunity here. Treat your patients with the respect they deserve. After all, they re why you are in business.
