Elkin A Nunez's Online Review Report Card

This comment is really for the staff. Thanking the powers that be for staff like this. I recently spoke with a young woman named Alicia after a very stressful ordeal and her professionalism was OUTSTANDING. Dr. Nunez is fine and answers all questions and took my concerns seriously, but as a healthcare professional myself, I was very impressed with the promptness and courtesy I recieved this month with his staff.

Absolutely love Dr Nunez

My husband and I are very thankful for Dr. Nunez. Dr. Nunez always takes his time to listen to our concerns and answers all of our questions. Due to Dr. Nunez guidance and education my husband now not only has a better understanding of diabetes but has his A1C under control. Again Thank-You!

Dr. Nunez is very patient, kind, smart, and extremely knowledgeable! I absolutely believe that he always has my best interest at heart.

I saw dr. Nunez on few occasions and he proved to be quite above the endocrinologist I used before. He determined the medication I had been on for 5+ years was unnecessary . My many tests after that determination proved him CORRECT! He is an excellent doctor and has great bedside manners in addition ! I disagree with those who give the dr. low marks based on disappointment with the staff. Better way is to contact the office manager to alert how the office function can be improved .

Fantastic and very knowledgeable. I told him you won’t be seeing me on French cause I’m gonna reverse my type 2. He was Ecstatic to hear me be positive. He said I hope so too that means you’re healthy. I highly recommend him

I love dr. Nunez, he takes time to listen to me and is very encouraging!

he's a great doctor I have always had issues with his staff

To begin with, the phone system is abysmal. Trying to get to a person is nearly impossible and once you actually get one, they have no interest in helping you. I had to leave a message when I was having complications with the medication I was prescribed. Once I finally was called back by Gabrielle, she didn't take the time to listen to what I had to say she immediately said "you have to go to the emergency room!" with no explanation. I was unsure that going to the ER was a necessity and confused as to why she would jump to that conclusion from a voicemail. When I finally explained in further detail she condescendingly barked that my symptoms were just leftover from a recent cold. Then she told me just to lower the dosage of the meds. When I asked to speak to the Dr. I was told that he had no time to speak to me because he was with patients. I am also a patient. A patient with alarming side effects that I was not at all well informed of when I was prescribed medication by Dr. Nunez. Gabrielle treated me with an attitude that fluctuated from one extreme to another, and landed on her implying that I was overreacting. She told me that she would confirm with the doctor that the right course of action was to lower the dosage. When I got a call back later in the day she proclaimed "I was right! we will just lower the dosage". Great. A few days later I was in the Emergency room with severe dizziness, throat constriction and panic. The ER doctor said "Why are you even on this medication? Did you ask for it?" Um no. And if I had been told of the risks I would never have taken it. Over a week later I am still suffering from the side effects. I will never be going back to this practice and I would strongly recommend you don't either.
