    If I could give this place a zero I would…read more I had an established patient appointment and once I signed in I sat down for maybe 6 minutes. Once I got to the patient room my vitals were taken, everything was high but the nurse didn't seem to care. Cool! I then had to wait 1hr and 20 minutes for Dr.cho to basically tell me to take allergy medicine for my hives. He like to talk fast to try and speed up the appointment I noticed I also had pictures of my hives that I wanted to show but he was only interested in taking a Quick Look at one of the MANY pictures I had. He also likes to talk over you as your explaining anything I ignored him and continued talking. Honestly I should have walked out of the office after 50 minutes. I've never been to a doctors office such as this but I'll definitely be looking for a better immunologist.

    I'm very disappointed with experience today at this office. I left my home with enough time to…read morearrive on schedule according to Google Maps, but after accounting for traffic, unloading my 17-month-old child and all of our belongings, and navigating a very slow elevator, I arrived just 18 minutes past my appointment time. Despite getting there at 8:18 AM and doing everything I could to be timely, I was turned away and told I'd need to reschedule. It took me nearly 40 minutes just to get there, and being sent away over an 18-minute delay felt incredibly disheartening--especially with a toddler in tow. I was referred here for an allergy test and was told the first initial appointment would only be a consultation. The lady at the front desk advised me that consults can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, so if I was 18 minutes late, doesn't that mean there were still 42 minutes left in my appointment window? It just doesn't make sense that I couldn't still be seen. To make things more frustrating, I received an email at 8:26 AM--after I had already been turned away--titled "NEW PATIENT PAPERWORK" That tells me the paperwork clearly wasn't expected to be completed beforehand and could've easily been filled out after the consult. Offices are always quick to request payment but seem far less flexible when it comes to showing basic understanding of real-life situations. Unfortunately, I will no longer be referring others--especially my fellow Tampa Bay WAG moms--to this office or doctor. There needs to be more compassion and flexibility, especially when dealing with parents of young children.

    Don't matter what time you call, early morning or late morning. They always put you on hold. This…read moreis my third time calling. First time, they had to call me back but it was close to closing time (example I called at 3. They called back around 4) left a voice mail to call back the next day. Second time I called, woman answering the phones was combative. Stated I need a referral from my medical. I told her that's fine I can get that because I have a referral form my primary - which is what I thought I needed. She wouldn't book my appointment. I just called on a Thursday to make an appointment and was put on hold for over 5 mins. Finally hung up because I actually have a job to go to so I can actually work. Would not recommend

    I visited this business one time. Dr. Colleen Sabelo said she was going to call in two…read moreprescriptions and then we would do an allergy test on the following visit. However, She only called in one of the prescriptions. I called and texted the office several times to ask that they call the other one in to my pharmacy but they refused and said they would only do it if I used their patient portal. So I went online and tried to use it several times, but every time it didn't work. I called them back yet again, but they still refuse to call it in. They said they would have someone call me to set up the patient portal. With my schedule, I generally sleep during the day and have my phone turned off, so I wasn't about to stay awake all day in case they might call. Plus, I don't want all these patient portals the each doctor has. I cannot remember my name half the time let alone all these passwords and every time you try to use a password, something happens and you have to change it. Trying to keep track of them gets to be ridiculous. Bottom line, the doctor forgot to call in the prescription and then refused to call it in simply from me asking. It was not my fault that she forgot. I could see this was going to be a very difficult business to work with. Therefore, I canceled my next appointment and I will not be going back. Doctor Colleen Sabella needs to be more flexible. Especially since it was her fault.

    One of the few doctors who really care about his patients. Takes time to talk with you about all…read moreaspects of what is going on. Patient enough to sit and listen to all concerns you may have and make sure you know what to expect. Not an in and out, pop his head in the door doc who let's the nurses do all the heavy lifting. We have been to this doc for many appointments over the last few years and he has always been consistent in his professionalism. There was a problem with the girls up front with billing and other paperwork but that has been resolved. Newer crew who take the time to get things right.

    Went to see Dr. DiPasquale for a medial issue in September of 2024. While there, learned he was…read moreauthorized to renew medical marijuana cards, so I went ahead and did that too. I've had a medical card since the law passed, so I've had years to learn what works and what doesn't. My prescription NEVER changes. I was crystal clear as to what products I use and for what reasons: creams & transdermal patches for pain, edibles to sleep, and vapes over actual flower marijuana because it's supposedly healthier. That's it. It could not have been more simple as it's the same RX I always get. Dr. DiPasquale and his staff are very friendly and disarming, so I wrote a great review that day. However, Dr. DiPasquale and his staff essentially did the exact opposite with my RX. Within a day, I learned I had zero creams prescribed and zero edibles. I called the office thoroughly confused at how they could have gotten the RX completely backwards. Within a couple of days, the RX was fixed to include the creams and edibles. Fast forward to the first week in April 2025. I walked into the same dispensary I've been going to forever and was really surprised to learn that the amount I was prescribed for vapes had been exhausted. The sales person said that I was only prescribed 6,700 units, far less than the 17,000 units a first timer would get (and I'm far from a first timer). Further, I learned that I had a boatload of actual marijuana flower that I still had available. I am currently able to purchase more of that than I've used combined in the last decade. Not once since the law passed have I even come close to reaching my limit on anything prescribed to me. Again, I was crystal clear --- I use the vapes not the "flower". I was prescribed the exact opposite. After speaking with staff about it, I was transferred to Dr. DiPasquale himself. Explained the situation. At no point did he dispute that a mistake was made. Also at no point did he offer to fix his mistake without me coming in with another $200 cash. Dr. DiPasquale would not budge. He could have fixed his mistake easily. He and/or his staff could have easily seen exactly what I've been prescribed since I received my card. It would show them in black and white they essentially prescribed virtually all of it wrong. The doctor claimed it had been 7 months and that I should have alerted them if there was anything incorrect BEFORE the prescribed amount was exhausted. Short of me reviewing the state's database, I had no way to know that I was only prescribed a small fraction for vapes versus what I had been prescribed for years. Every RX up until I saw Dr. DiPasquale is identical. It's 100% their mistake, they didn't dispute that, and I won't be paying another $200 for them to correct what they did and what I know for a fact they can easily fix. This practice is an ATM machine, clearly very, very profitable. In this case, a wealthy physician overseeing a booming practice was more concerned with his $200 cash than fixing such an obvious mistake on their part. So now I will take on the responsibility of posting this review everywhere I can -- because other potential patients have the right to know that they'll need to double and triple check their state renewal RX -- because this is not a practice where people listen very well or take accountability for their mistakes.
