Maria Fondal's Online Review Report Card

Because of insurance regulations, my friend had tostart seeing Dr. Fondal. I've seen my friend in terrible pain b/c of rheumatoid arthritis. She was in pain for a long time, then went to a doctor and got on the right medication. She was starting to feel and move much better. Then that doctor left and she was assigned to Dr. Fondal. Fondal took her off all her medications. Said she wanted her to start ...

Dr. Fondal has been my rheumatologist since 2017, she has work with me to find every option to make me feel better. Is the best rheumatologist you can ask for. She is very knowledgeable and and your health is the most important thing for her. She has a great staff and nurses. I thank God for help me find her❤️ God bless Dr. Maria Fondal ***************** New comment 11/2/22 She retired this year in June 2022. My new rheumatologist told me that I do not have RA. According to the records the office provided to me and a new blood work , I never had RA and did not need the medication and infusions I was given for about 6 years 🤯

I was told by an Ortho Doctor he suspected I had arthritis in my shoulder. He recommended I follow up with a rheumatologist. The referred me, and I maade an appointment. At first the hard to understand person on the phone told me I had to be fully vaccinated for COVID to see the doctor. They called me two days prior to the appointment saying the doctor would only see me by video conference. I told the lady to cancel the appointment. I will fond a doctor that is willing to actually see me.

Dr. Fundal has very poor bedside manor. She was in the room for about 45 secs, long enough to bark orders out. I felt like she really didn't give any cares at all. Not the best first impression. The younger dr (cant remember her name) that was in my room before dr fundal was was MUCH nicer. Also it's basically impossible to get in touch with a human at this dr office. So all around not great.

I gave a 1 star because 0 wasn’t an option. My mother in law and husband took off work and drove 2 hours to her appointment that she had for 6 months prior. When they arrived, she was told her appointment was cancelled due to an insurance issue, but was never called. My husband offered to pay full price for the visit due to my mother in law desperately needing to see the doctor for her crippling rheumatoid arthritis. He was told that they were not accepting private pay right now. What kind of doctor’s office doesn’t accept cash in full at the time of the appointment???? We will never be back to see this doctor. He asked to speak to the doctor specifically, and the receptionist said he words were coming from the doctor. DO NOT USE THIS DOCTOR. I am a nurse so I understand the patient load some of these doctors have, but this was just ridiculous!

I called to make an appointment for my parents and when they lady on the phone heard that my parents spoke Spanish she said she did not recommend my parents seek treatment there because nobody speaks Spanish and I said I always accompany them to their appointments to translate and she said that wouldn’t work either.

She is the worst doctor around. An office visit includes her sitting with her back to you trying to get the computer working or something off of it. I had been trying to reach her office for the last 30 days and she has been missing in action. I have been out of meds that long. Finally reach the office and request a refill. The pharmacy tells me she rejected it because I need a visit. Called to make a virtual visit and was told I needed a letter from my primary. I did not bother to ask what they were looking for in terms of content. I just said "Hit the road Jack, ain't coming back no more." This is not about demonstrating good patient care. This is about control, MONEY and cover your behind. As it turns out, all things work for the best. The new doctor I am currently seeing questions the need for the medicine prescribed by Dr. Fondal given my symptoms. So, I am doing blood work and reassessing everything. The medicine Fondal prescribed could cause blindness and I certainly won't miss that. I wish Fondal the best and she continues whatever she is doing for whatever reason. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

I was a patient for 11 years and was happy til last year she just seemed liked she had other concerns going on and literally kept clicking and typing away on her computer. I still have not received blood work results from last year. Office staff has changed and they are very rude and unprofessional. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER TO NO ONE.

I had an awesome experience !! Staff was very nice and welcoming !! Dr. Fondal is a lovely person. Eveything went perfect. 10/10
