David C Osafo's Online Review Report Card

Not sure if Dr. Osafo was having a bad day or what but, I have never been talked to like he did to us today. He raised his voice, clapped his hands at us. Very very unprofessional. I promise we will NEVER refer anyone to him! Thank God the surgeon Dr. Byrnes, took the time to explain and will refer us to someone at Willis Knighten.

I wouldn’t given negative stars if I could. Dr. Osafo told my mother that she had metastasized lung cancer, and that she couldn’t receive radiation, and that essentially she was terminal & would die from the cancer she had. That she could got not be cured. He was negative, had horrible bed side manner, & obviously has no clue about the practice he supposedly “practices”. Dr. Osafo was argumentative and demeaning. As for his prognosis & treatment plan: He was WRONG!!! Seriously WRONG!!! We then brought my Mother to MD Anderson in Houston. The Dr.’s here are AMAZING! They have advised that her cancer has in fact NOT metastasized, nor spread into her lymph nodes into her leg, where Dr. Osafo 1st claimed. The spot in her leg was a hematoma from another procedure. It was obvious, & plain as day on the PETSCAN. The drs here have started chemo, & she in fact can have radiation, & she starts that tomorrow. Her dr here @ MD Anderson in Houston, Tx. is Dr. Frank Fossella. Dr. Fossella is such a true Blessing! If you go see Dr. Osafo, my advice, get a 2nd opinion, and/or get to MD Anderson if you’re able. If my mama would’ve accepted Dr. Osafo’s advice, her cancer would have in fact spread/metastasized. HOWEVER, thank GOD, we brought her to MD ANDERSON. All her care team here says she will be cured! They are all super positive, supportive, compassionate & loving. I pray whoever sees Dr. Osafo, gets a 2nd opinion. Don’t settle for Dr. Osafo’s diagnosis & prognosis. God Bless!

I was referred to Dr Osafo by my Urologist following a resent diagnosis of Stage IV Prostate Cancer. After 2 clinic visit with him in discussion about my treatment plan I found him to be quite uncomfortable (by his words and body language) answering question about my illness and treatment plan. On both visits He was addressed me as "Trouble Maker." Additionally, he mocked me during questions about my treatment options.

Dr Osafo was disrespectful in speaking to me as Trouble Maker on even my first appointment without ever meeting me before. Called me the same on the second appointment. I have found him to be uncomfortable answering questions about my Cancer diagnosis and treatment plan. In my case, he comes off as a person with a superiority complex and seems to enjoy mocking me for the questions I ask. I trust ...

Great Physician very loving and caring we are so blessed he is caring for my dad. Thank you again Dr. Osafo

Listens, and answers your questions. Doesn't like to be questioned about his dincisions though. Overall, feel that he' a capable physician.

Dr. Osafo was more than helpful explaining my problems. He is very reassuring and has a GREAT bedside manner. I definitely recommend him to anyone with blood problems.

Either Dr. Osafo doesn't like my personality and just cannot communicate simple questions and answers to me, or he just is a very impatient person with a superiority complex and talks down to patients. He doesn't let me voice my concerns, he gets mad if I ask questions that challenge his statements. He still hasn't explained thoroughly to me, in a way that I can understand, what is going on with my blood. I think he thinks he has and he gets so frustrated when I try and get clarification, but he really hasn't. Poor Communicator! I would hate to need him for a serious illness. I don't care if he is a "good doctor" he's not professional, and you can't just be good at your job, you have to be patient and understanding. He doesn't do the second part.

Dr. Osafo is not a very patient person. He gets irritable when he has to repeat himself when I don't understand something. I ask for clarification and he starts an argumentative offensive mood. Seems like he wanted to rush me right out, tell me what blood test to take and not tell me what it was for or what it would help him find out, in fact, i still have to look up the name of this test to figure it out myself. Basically, I left the office crying. Terrible bedside manner. I felt like an inconvenience to him. Did he forget I am the one paying HIM? You'd think I was some despicable creature off the street who he's not per2

Great Dr.very understanding. Great bed side Manners
