Cisneros, Gregory A, MD

I am 54 years old and this "doctor" is the absolute worst person I have encountered in the medical profession. I hadn't been to the doctor in a over a year and my wife suggested I go see one because of my age. The doctor I had visited last year had so many patients that it meant a very long wait in his office. I take care of my 89 year old mother with advanced dementia and I can't be out of the house for too long. So I looked at our insurance website and this "doctor" was in our network. I saw him a few weeks ago, for no more than 10 minutes. He sent me for several blood and urine tests and also suggested I get a colonoscopy. A few days later his office called me and said my cholesterol was extremely high, and he prescribed a medication. The following week I received a bill from him in the mail. I called his office and asked why our insurance company had not paid the bill and they informed me the visit was coded as an "office visit" rather than a "wellness visit". Office visits go towards our deductible whereas the first wellness visit gets covered by the insurance company. They said the "doctor" codes the visits himself and I should talk to him on my follow up visit. I went to see him this morning and the assistant at the front-desk asked me for payment. I immediately pulled out my check-book and wrote a check for the full amount. I then politely asked her the difference between an "office visit" and a "wellness visit". She began to politely explain when the doctor stormed out of his office and said he didn't want to see me. Even the assistant looked shocked. I told him I was not disputing his bill and had a check to pay for the last visit, I was merely asking for guidance because I am not an expert in the field. He said that didn't matter and he wouldn't treat me. I said "Doctor, I am your patient, you prescribed a new medication for me on the phone, and you suggested a colonoscopy in a few days. I need treatment from you". He said he didn't want to treat me and asked me to leave. I was so shocked I couldn't even respond. After I returned home, I called the nice assistant who was helping me and asked her what happened. She said I had been very polite to her and she just didn't know what had happened. My conclusion is that this "doctor" is either ripping of patients and the insurance companies and was just spooked by an inquiring patient, or he is a nutcase and ticking time-bomb. Either way, he is no good, in my opinion. Stay away!
