I am very disappointed with the way I was treated when trying to schedule an appointment with Dr…read more Palumbo's office. I was referred by my primary care physician, Dr. Tamara Sealy, due to a fracture in my left knee and the need to be evaluated by a surgeon. I was already in pain, distressed, and concerned because I had just learned that I had a fracture. The scheduler, who identified herself unclearly as "CIA" from scheduling, stated that she schedules for every doctor and that she was the one who schedules for Dr. Palumbo. Unfortunately, her tone was rude, aggressive, dismissive, and lacked compassion. Instead of showing empathy or helping me understand my options, she emphasized that the first available appointment would not be until July and stated that my situation was "not an emergency." As a healthcare worker and Doctor of Health Administration, I understand that offices have scheduling limitations. However, patients should still be treated with respect, kindness, and professionalism--especially when they are in pain and dealing with an injury. I felt unheard, dismissed, and unsupported during a time when I needed guidance. This staff member should not be representing a medical office if she cannot communicate with patients in a compassionate and professional manner. I would not recommend this office based on my scheduling experience. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity, not made to feel like an inconvenience when they are seeking care for a serious medical concern.

BONE DEATH, JOB LOSS & DISABILITY - My Experience with Dr. Richard Cain…read more I wish I could give zero stars. My experience with Dr. Richard Cain at BayCare Orthopedic Institute has left me permanently disabled and struggling to take care of my family. I first saw him in March 2025 with an MRI showing a subchondral insufficiency fracture in my left knee. He put me on 6 weeks of non-weight bearing, then told me to walk again with an offloader brace that didn't help at all. Despite my severe pain and repeated requests for updated imaging, he refused and instead pushed ahead with surgery. On May 5, 2025, he performed a subchondroplasty using an MRI that was already nearly 3 months old. After surgery, my pain only got worse. At follow-up visits in May and July, I begged him for help and asked again for another MRI. He brushed me off, saying, "Sometimes you'll still have pain after surgery," and offered no pain management. By July, I was in so much pain that I booked an emergency appointment. Only then did he finally order an MRI -- and even admitted he had never reviewed a post-op subchondroplasty MRI before. That MRI (July 24, 2025) showed the fracture had grown larger and now there was bone necrosis (bone death). At my August 1 visit, he promised to call me personally after consulting a colleague but never did. I had to chase him down through the patient portal just to get a referral a week later. Because of Dr. Cain's negligence, I've been wheelchair-bound for months, unable to properly care for my 3-year-old toddler, and at serious risk of losing my job as I've exhausted FMLA benefits, and my job has let me know they will let me go if I need more time off for additional surgeries and recovery. My condition has progressed to bone death, and I feel completely abandoned as his patient. I went to Dr. Cain expecting for my condition to improve, and instead, it drastically declined. I strongly believe Dr. Cain should not be allowed to operate on anyone else, and I definitely cannot recommend him for any and all orthopedic needs, especially with anything to do with knee issues. I write this as I sit from my wheelchair, and I used to be a very active person. Do what you will this review, but please reconsider and stay away from this orthopedic practice, especially Dr. Cain.

I have never experienced such shockingly unprofessional behavior from a medical office in my life…read more I called this urgent care simply trying to book an appointment because I was extremely ill and could barely speak due to a severely sore throat. Instead of helping me, Tabia flat out refused to schedule the appointment and literally told me to hang up and book it online. I explained that I was sick, that I would have to get in the car immediately to make it there and that speaking was very painful for me. She continued to make the process unnecessarily difficult, forcing me to repeat myself multiple times while I was struggling to get words out. At one point, when I was clearly having a hard time speaking, she laughed. Laughed. I asked her to please just hold the appointment since I would be there in 15 minutes and could provide all my information in person. She refused. I then calmly asked to speak to her manager, Thomas. She refused that as well and would not allow me to speak to anyone else. When someone calls urgent care, it is because they are not feeling well and need help -- not because they want to argue with a gatekeeper who seems more interested in being dismissive than compassionate. The lack of empathy, basic customer service and professionalism was staggering. Stay far away from this location. If this is how they treat sick patients over the phone, I can only imagine how they handle care in person.
