    I wanted to put my review of Dr. Scarzella and her staff on yelp. I moved here from NJ and had…read moreprevious history with urological issues and had previous with bladder cancer. So, I was very concerned about finding a new Urologist here in South Florida. Well, I am so very happy I found Dr. Scarzella. She is amazing!! The first time I met her as a new patient I was so impressed. Dr. Scarzella was methodical in her process in getting to know me, and my urological history. She was very thorough, empathetic, thoughtful and caring while she took down the details of my health history. She did not rush the appointment and she answered all my questions and concerns. That is so important! In my experience, sometimes medical doctors can rush you through your appointment. I have left their offices feeling like the visit was unfinished or unsuccessful. That is NOT the case with Dr. Scarzella and her staff. I have been a patient for 3 years now and I couldn't imagine going to another Urologist. The staff office are equally as professional and caring! They make you feel special and well cared for every time! Anytime I call with questions or concerns someone always gets back to me that day. I honestly can't say enough about this Dr. and her amazing staff! The office is beautiful, extremely clean and that is also so welcoming. So for new patients sometime there is a wait...BUT she is so worth it!! I highly recommend her and her staff.

    I never even had the chance to set up an appointment to see Dr. Scarzella: her "answering service"…read moremade sure of that by incorrectly stating that my health plan was not accepted at the office! When I began to question how is it possible to show up in the health plan network and yet not honor that plan, the woefully misinformed "screening" service agent simply chose to hang up on my call! I called back, and waited patiently but no one answered ... When I asked to speak to someone other than the lowly "answering service," I was told that there is NO way to speak to any of the clinical staff at her practice without first getting "vetted" by the incompetent "answering service!" That should have been enough to deter me from setting up an appointment, but I'm interesting in seeing just how bad things are, and perhaps file a formal complaint with my Medicare Health plan, and/or AHCA. To be continued ... ;-)

    In the office, Dr. Sofer was great. She explained all supposed possibilities of what was wrong and…read morewhat needed to be done. As far as what needed to be done: I was told I would have a procedure done based off of an ultrasound. I was given a Rx for an antibiotic. I let them know that there was a risk of tendon damage with the prescribed antibiotic. They sent a script for a new antibiotic. I was in contact with the office 2 days before the procedure. I expected to have the procedure done when I went in. I'm not too keen on taking antibiotics due to the damage it does to good and bad bacteria in your gut. It's not healthy to take antibiotics unless necessary. It would have been necessary if I received the procedure. I took it for a day and a half, and got to the office to find out that it was supposedly not the best route to treat me to do that procedure after paying for (2 antibiotics) and taking one of them. The procedure is something Dr Sofer said she would have told a family member (of hers) to get and it's difficult to get certain images and diagnoses confused when it's a close family member and a patient has the same thing, so with that said, it seems as if the more invasive procedure is just being pushed for other reasons. Idk for sure, but I'm confused and quite honestly afraid to go through with the other procedure being recommended. I was given a physicians order for a certain type of MRI that this place is charging $95 for in addition to what my insurance covers.

    Run from this practice. Had an appointment with Dr. Sofer. An hour and fifteen minutes later and…read morestill was waiting in the room. A patient next door to me had an appointment after me and I heard the Doctor go see that patient first. Everyone is getting ultra sounds as well so my guess is a money grab. This practice should learn to be more efficient and not make people wait like that.

    POOR UNPROFESSIONAL OFFICE STAFF . Dr. Evans is an excellent urologist but he is overshadowed by…read morethe poor operation and management of the entire office staff who have no discretion, empathy or professionalism in dealing with patients . Expect to wait 60-90 minutes for your scheduled appointment . Dr. Evans was obviously rushed and read my chart/diagnosis 2 minutes after leaving his previous patient in adjacent room. While Dr. Evans was giving me dire news, an office staffer came in and interrupted , reminding Dr. Evans there was another patient waiting . Phone calls are answered by an overseas call center in the Phillipines.

    As a first-time patient, I was very impressed with Dr. Scarzella herself--she's warm, personable,…read moreand made me feel comfortable right away. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was miserable. The office is clean and modern, but the reception area was overcrowded, and the staff seemed super stressed. I waited two hours to see the Dr., though my time with Dr. Scarzella totaled only about ten minutes. Despite the long wait, I chose to return because I felt she provided compassionate care. However, during my second visit, I noticed multiple patients were booked for the same appointment time. Over the past week, I've contacted the office four times regarding a painful unresolved UTI / infection and have struggled to reach a nurse or anyone qualified to help. I've had to follow up repeatedly on my own. To make matters worse, I was billed $604 for the consultation and an additional $75 for a bladder volume test that I neither requested nor needed. Overall, while Dr. Scarzella is a great physician, the practice's management and communication issues make it feel like profit is prioritized over patient care.

    Three months ago I called Dr. Manganiotis' office to schedule a new patient appointment because of…read morea kidney stone in one of my kidneys, that resulted in a visit to the ER and subsequent hospital stay, in late March, 2020. The appointment was set for Friday, April 17, 2020. In the beginning of the week of April 12th, I called the office to ask about my appointment on Friday and I was told that at that point, they could not tell me if the appointment was confirmed or not, that is, after 3 months waiting for the appointment. I thought it was odd that they didn't have the courtesy of calling me to let me know. On April 16th, since I had not heard from them, I called the office to try to re-schedule the appointment anyways, due to the covid-19 pandemic. An office staffer, Camille, answered my call and proceeded to ask me about the reason for the appointment. I explained that I had been diagnosed with a kidney stone and that I needed to have it removed. She then tells me, that my appointment was done in error because the ultrasound technician was not available on Fridays. She then offered to re-schedule to a later date, in the middle of the Afternoon, to which I said I couldn't do because I live in Boca Raton but work in Plantation, and have to go to work in the Morning, come to Boca Raton in the middle of the Afternoon, and then drive back to Plantation and then back home. It was just not feasible for me. Obviously I said no to her "offer". After asking me to wait on the phone, she comes back about 10 minutes later, and asks me again the same question and to "think about it", to which I said, there is nothing to think about and that I wasn't going to have the Afternoon appointment. However, when I tried to explain to her that I have a 8x5 mm kidney stone that was seen in a CT scan back in early January 2020, and then due to my ER visit, another CT scan confirmed the kidney stone was still there, and that I did not have to have a much less precise Ultrasound, she completely interrupted my explanation and threatened to hang up on me, which she did a few moments later. This lady, not only is complete insensitive to the needs of future patients, but she is also rude and unable to keep a civil conversation. Because she wasn't rescheduling my appointment, I decided to venture out of the house and go to my original appointment on Friday, so I called again to confirm the appointment. When I finally get to someone in the office, another person named Lynn, tells me that I had no appointments scheduled and that my name was not registered with their system. I said that was not possible and that I previously had talked to Camille and that she was rude to me by hanging up on my face. She then asks me to wait on the phone, and when she comes back, she tells me that "you don't have an appointment and that on your notes it says for me to look for another doctor". I immediately asked her if that was what the doctor said and she did not answer. Then, rude Lynn, the practice manager, tells me that I am an "argumentative patients" and that they, Lynn and Camille, don't want to see me there. That is just completely unacceptable and totally unprofessional of the two of them, Lynn and Camille. Not because I am a Doctor and demand respect, I think any human being should be treated with respect. These ladies are rude, incompetent, insensitive, and worst of all entitled, since they feel they can select or discard patients without the doctor's knowledge and without any medical training, they try to convince you what is best for you. I wonder how many patients Dr. Maganiotis is losing because of them. I moved to Florida from Texas and I must say what a difference. People in Texas, especially in the Health Care business, are professional, courteous, accommodating, and polite. Completely the opposite of what I found in Dr. Manganiotis practice, by talking to Camille and Lynn. It seems unfortunate, that these two unprepared, uneducated, and with no social skills individuals are not treating patients with respect and are making decisions for the doctor. I am sorry for the doctor, but if you don't want to be mistreated by the staff, avoid this practice at all cost.
