I do not make a habit of writing negative reviews unless the business truly warrants one. In this case I feel obligated to share my experience with Grayhawk Medical Group. This review is not intended to deter you from visiting the business, but to share my personal experience only. You can make your own determination....
I was looking for a new doctor for my yearly physical exam and Dr. Nuñez was recommended to me by a nurse practitioner I met at a CVS Minute Clinic. I called the office and was treated very professionally over the phone. I was given an appointment within a couple of days of my call. I went to my appointment on December 8th, 2015, sat down to fill out some initial paperwork, and was attended to by the front office staff in a very warm and professional manner...no complaints at all. I went into the exam room and was initially attended to by Rosa, Dr. Nuñez's nurse. She was also very professional, did the typical blood pressure check, weight check, etc... Dr. Nuñez came in shortly after. We discussed my history, talked about my overall health, also some recent concerns about indigestion, reflux, palpitations, stress, etc... Dr. Nuñez proceeded to perform some run of the mill checks....listened to my heart and lungs, stuck a tongue depressor in my mouth to look at my throat, etc... That was about it with the exception of some additional conversation regarding the above mentioned symptoms I had been presenting prior to the visit. Dr. Nuñez recommended an EKG/ECG and a blood draw which were done right away. After the EKG/ECG results were available Dr. Nuñez came back into to discuss the results with me which appeared to be normal. We discussed the predictable outcome of my blood tests, how best to manage an expected out of range cholesterol result, a little more about my history on Crestor, some other symptoms such as foot neuropathy, and so on. That was the summary of events. I left the exam room, discussed payments and expected communication with the front desk, then went on my merry way. This was all on a Tuesday. I was told that lab results could take anywhere from a week to two weeks to come back. That was a little strange to me. I have had blood drawn dozens of times over the last 20+ years and typically most doctors call w/in 48 hours with results. As a matter of fact, I have never not had the actual doctor call me to discuss test results. I was told that my results would be posted on their online portal along with any communications. Two days after the visit I was still having some stomach issues and sent a message through the portal to the doctor as instructed asking if maybe he would consider an antibiotic for my stomach issues. I never heard back. I did get the test results in better time then what I was told. I was notified by the portal on December 14th that my results were in. I immediately went to look at the results, knowing that my cholesterol related numbers would be out of range by a mile.... as predicted and discussed a with Dr. Nuñez during my visit. At this point I had expected to hear from the doctor to discuss going back on Crestor. I waited and waited and never heard anything. I decided to call on December 17th and was told that someone would get back to me. On December 18th I was contacted by Rosa the nurse. It was undetermined what course of action would need to be taken and she said she would send a message to the doctor via the portal as he was working from home that day. She said he may or may not get back right away as he was at home and she was not sure he would check his messages. Today, December 22nd, I still have not heard from the doctor. No determination as to how to treat my cholesterol, no communication via telephone or the portal. At this point I have made the determination that I am not an important patient for this practice. I do not know why as they were very professional during the scheduling process and initial appointment. However the follow-up after the appointment and test results is nothing short of abominable in my opinion. I have seen many doctors over the years as I have lived all over the country and have had to change because of relocations, however, I have never experienced this type of delayed follow-up. This is not what I expect from my doctor, hence will not be returning to this practice again. Dr. Nuñez seems like a nice guy, and professional. His office staff the same. Communication skills are horrible in regards to follow-up, and in my opinion this is critical to good treatment... end of story. read more
