1 /5 Natalie Johnson: Awful. Just awful. The first visit my parents went to was with Dr. Rodolfo Canizales-Collazo. They gave a wonderful report of how polite and kind he was. However, we found out that Dr. Rodolfo is anything but a nice guy.
We went yesterday for a 1:20pm appointment, but began to notice that the doctor was late, and it was now 2:07pm. I went out the office to inquire...only to find him and a female nurse playing hanky-panky with the door wide open! Nurse had no shoes on, the doc was in his chair playfully stooped forward while the nurse was on top of him, seemingly reaching towards his lap for something. Whatever they were doing, it was extremely unprofessional, and we were being held up over foolishness.
I interrupted and asked is the appointment still on because it was pass 1:20pm. At that point, the doctor was most likely embarrassed (at least I hope so), but the meeting didnt get better from there. Dr. Rodolfo basically tried to scare my mother into diaylsis, a procedure she vehemently turned down. Each time I countered what the doctor was saying, he became offended because he wanted to force his will on my mother.
He outright said that shes going to die, and he was faulting me. My mother was told that she was suppose to be dead years ago, yet shes still alive. I argued that he cant force my mother to do something against her will. Needless to say, we left and probably wont return.
Sorry, Rodolfo. We might be Black, but were not dumb. We know that dialysis targets minorities, and that its a huge money maker for your industry, but not this family. Be a better doctor and husband.
