This is a cardiologist group. My wife has another local cardiologist which I prefer to keep…read moreunnamed. So my wife was in Herman Memorial over the Easter weekend. Dr. Vasquez took excellent care of her while she was having some serious heart episodes. It was late Sunday Easter afternoon when she was discharged along with a script that had to be filled before 9am Monday. I took her home and immediately went to Walmart pharmacy. When the script was ready I was shockingly told it would cost $389 for a month's supply. $389!!!!! She had a generic version for $10 just a year ago!!!! The Pharmacist could not give an alternative for some reason even though Dr. Vasquez wrote that. Anyway my wife put a page in for Dr. Vasquez and he called her back. Late Easter Sunday evening. He was upset with the Pharmacist and asked my to come to his office by 9 the next day. He had left 2 months of the medication for my wife for FREE! Yup, he is now my wife's new cardiologist.

As you can see this is NOT my first visit to this cardiologist. Dr Vazquez not only cares for me…read morebut also my wife. He is so good and meticulous that we travel 45 minutes to his office and not even thinking about getting a different cardiologist nearer to us. I have recommended others to him and they all have thanked me and love his demeanor and bedside manner. Today is my wife's turn.

At my 75 year old mother's urging (although this office supposedly remotely reads her bp checks but…read moredid call the day it was concerningly high...), I became a patient of Dr. Sami's for 2 years. In those 2 years, I spent nearly $2,000 on tests, was limited to one day a out of the week for visits b/c he is too busy working at several other locations and if I'm going to see the doctor I want to see a doctor and not his PA, questionable billing and bills, a confused yet polite staff (that's the 1 star), but a doctor with a rude and unacceptably mean bedside manner. This is from a heart-healthy patient who is fully aware of family cardiovascular history and simply wanted to establish a proactive relationship...I have since found a more compatible & available cardiovascular specialist.

I thought if would be a positive experience seeing Dr. Sami but it was everything but positive. I…read morewas disappointed when I noticed they were having all patient1 do the same exact testing. They set up the office in Baytown for echo, nuclear stress test etc..testing is done there except a CT scan that the insurance doesn't recommend because isn't necessary. This test is done elsewhere because the insurance doesn't cover it so they can't bill it. I found out soon after that Dr. Sami doesn't do stents are any type of procedures any longer.He only does the testing of this facility.Because that's where he makes his money. If you need anything other than a test they refer out yo people they know. Even the bloodwork had to be done in his office even though my labs aren't covered by them. I completed the testing and I found a new cardiologist but almost a year later they are still trying to bill me for things they didn't cover. I returned a heat monitor that supposedly takes your blood pressure and they monitor but it doesn't work and they dont monitor it. I returnd it and seen others returning it as well for the same reason. They sent me a bill for $20 and I was supposed to get a refund because my account was paid in full. I have called so many times no one ever calls back but the last name Terri said they have lots of people calling for the billing lady and she understands that I dont owe the money. Six months later I got a bill from a collection agency and they said it was a billing mistake thst I owe $70? My insurance has been notified of the scam for charges I don't owe and for me not to pay them because they have been paid in full. I will call once more tomorrow and if they don't help me I will file with the BBB and take whatever actions needed to stop this harassment and scam.

Also one of associates put in contaminated pacemaker they needed up causing ganggreen in chest and had to spend 6 months in ICU and died 4 times and now in over a million dollars in debt.

The lack of care and medical understanding I received from Dr Milinda Avalos was incredible…read more At the first office visit (a yearly check up) I was shuttled in and out as quick as possible, and I did not have time to ask any questions. Then, my labs showed one slightly elevated liver enzyme, which Dr Avalos incorrectly diagnosed as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I fed my numbers into an AI bot and the bot had the intelligence to ask if I'd had a hard workout recently. In fact I did, and I'm guessing the AI bot was more correct. More galling, I asked Dr Avalos what to do about the NAFLD. She basically said "IDK LOL," and if that wasn't bad enough the app let me know the response was generated by AI. She couldn't care less... Next, I asked to go on zepbound. Dr Avalos prescribed it for me (BMI above 30), but told me it would only be for a month while my BMI was above 30. I showed her the data from Eli Lilly showing that this is supposed to be a long term / maintenance drug, and if I go off in a month obviously I'm going to regain the weight. I showed her clinical data that confirms I should stay on through lower BMIs. I showed her insurance data that said I should stay qualified as long as I qualified at the beginning of treatment. Again her response was basically "IDK LOL!" Cannot recommend avoiding this place at all costs if this is the type of person they have giving medical advice.
