ALetter to Dr Fetoh…read more I just thought I would put in writing a few thoughts so I don't forget when I do my review first of all that defeat you I am very disciplined in the fact that I have been a patient of yours for seven years. That's a pretty long time for loyalty I visited one of your new PAs the other day last month and apparently the wrong information got back to you to me. It just sounds absolutely false, but I will allow you the opportunity to tell you what happened? I have been in and out of the ER at least 4 to 5 times for diverticulitis. They treated me there quite nicely as I was having extreme stomach cramps. After the diagnosis I went to see Melissa in your Palm Bay office to explain what happened and what she can do to help me. instead, she rolled her eyes at me as I was walking into the office. I'm just not quite sure why, but then I explained everything that was happening and how awful my stomach felt. I was released from the hospital the day before after being admitted I thought maybe you could help me so I won't have to keep going back to the ER for release . Everyone I have talked to has come to the agreement that she acted quite harshly to me. I have been seeing you Dr Fetoh for seven years. That's quite a long time and I of course couldn't believe it when the first thing she said out of her mouth was I am not giving you medicine again. I tried to explain to her what has been happening to me and she refused to listen she handed me a urine cup, which was impossible to do at that moment and I explain to her that I just did one a couple months ago. I got back to me that she said I cursed her out and I did not. I was very respectful instead I said I will talk to Dr Fetoh about this next month. so a month went by I had another flareup in the hospital again and the ER doctors were quite concerned about how you were treating their patient in any case. I am completely lost of words to say I am a professional and would never say anything cruel to her to treat me so drastically I am confused, especially when they came out and told me you won't see me again and here it is from my new Pump with the only doctor I trust is telling me to leave just from a PA point of view we haven't seen each other but the few times that we did I thought we had a nice cordial relationship. You even have a chance to meet my caregiver anyway. They tried to rush me out of the office and have some kind of craziness and thinking that I'm addicted, drug addicts? I am quite saddened by this because I have never taken any medicine unless it was prescribed by you. it's just sad as all and that's why I'm writing to you. I've also discussed this matter with several professionals. You can not understand it either, but I wanted you to know that I am grateful that you gave me to another doctor to go to, which was very kind, however I really depressed me and confuse me perhaps in the future you may not be so fast you condone this behavior and perhaps ask some of your patients about the gear that they received from her Thank you for reading this and maybe there is hope for people like me that need and deserve pain medicine occasionally

I've been a pain management patient here for 14 years. The entire staff of Healthcare…read moreProfessionals are very caring and compassionate, something you rarely find in the industry these days. Whether you're suffering from chronic pain and are not a candidate for surgery like myself (either due to age, health, lack of insurance), struggling with addiction and need a safer long term detox , or just trying to manage your chronic pain without having to be on the awful typical opioids daily, Advanced medical Cprx is here for you. They even have their own in house pharmacy which cuts out the stress of dealing with local pharmacies who may not always stock your prescribed medication or choose not to fill your medications. In 2011, I entered the Healthcare Industry myself, and realized that taking full opiod pain medications was not ideal for me and my new career as a Nurse Tech/Assistant and Caregiver to Dementia patients, so I was grateful to find Adv Medical and a safer, better medication that did not inhibit my ability to concentrate, focus or do my job safely. Additionally, I found myself pregnant at age 45 in 2012, (a miracle in itself as I had only recently completed oral chemo for Medullary Thyroid cancer) and the staff went out of there way to ensure a seamless transition from the specialty pain medication I had been on, to an approved medication safe for pregnant women. 14 years is a long time to have a relationship with a healthcare provider, which says a lot about how above and beyond the entire staff go to ensure every patients comfort, safety and overall health. 5+ stars. I do miss a couple former employees that I had established a rapport and friendship with, but the employees that replaced are just as professional, caring and knowledgeable. I'm grateful to have healthcare providers that truly care about me as a patient. You're not just another number at Advanced medical.

DR VELLEFF WAS A GREAT CARING BUT STRICT DR, I GOT TERMINATED AFTER 10+ YEARS IN PAIN MANAGEMENT,…read moreWITH MULTIPLE SURGERIES I WAS MAXED OUT ON THE AMOUNTS OF 80'S 30'S XANAX GOT CUT OUT SO I NEEDED SOMETHING IN PLACE.. at that time marijuana wasn't legal yet so as I was worried to fail my piss test for weed I got that fake pee from the head shop. you'd never in you're life be completely unable to even comprehend the "mean" receptionist say there was an error with the test and I'd have to pee again, so now I'm trippin thinkin I didn't microwave the. Fake pee right and the temp was off so as I'm dumping more fake pee into another cup I'm just thinking how can I warm it up but I gave her the fake pee a second time and she checks it temp was no issue but the "mean" receptionist lady only would tme there's errors in my test and it had to go to the lab,mind you now I'm going home no scripts flipping out cus now I've paid for 2 piss tests on top of my appointment and was told "IF' THE LAB test comes back better I'd have to pay for that piss test before getting scripts..so a week later I go in,all expecting to get my scripts because in my mind the worse thing that could be wrong is my "FAKE"PISS DIDN'T HAVE ANY OXY IN IT... MUCH TO MY SURPRISE that mean lady seemed to take pleasure in telling me you can no longer be seen here because you had cocaine in your urine.. I'm there shocked fake pee failed for cocaine, so I figured if I come clean to Dr VELLEFF and let him know it was fake pee because of weed maybe he'd let me give my actual pee but that mean unprofessional receptionist said nope he doesn't want to see you or speak to you here's a paper for circles of care they can detox you as I'm in extreme pain and opiate sick.. so as I find myself on the street level not even believing how much I'm spending on the pills now it came to the point I couldn't pay my bills, then one fateful day someone said to me this $20 bag of H will get you twice as long as a $30 pill.. so I started with A little till the little wouldn't do so the little got more and more, so I stumbled upon straight fentanyl. Which was so wonderful I'd ask brown or white.. I'd only buy the white cus I'd be able to get 4-5 times outta $20.now I'm fully involved with a whole life I never knew existed right in my own neighborhood so it didn't take me long to be shooting it up..one day I'm super sick I can't even get off the bathroom floor so I call one of my new buddys and said stop off at my brotha from another mutha and I'd pay for his 20 for picking us each up one.. so he gets there and I'm sicker then I've ever been crying begging bro can you please fix my rig up and hit my vain I'm too Shakey pukey and totally unable to, the one thing he didn't realize is I wasn't expecting the whole dub in 1 shot he would do a whole dubthen another and another, I mean he saw me do a whole dub of brown multiple times so he just figured I'd need the whole point of fentanyl to get off empty, that was my first experience overdosing. Needless to say all because I felt I needed some weed because Dr VELLEFF took away my Xanax and figured everyone else gets away with using fake pee but noo my luck so had it instead of pissing straight THC in the cup I buy fake pee and failed for cocaine, like seriously cocaine the drug that leaves urine system in 72 hours I mean weed takes 30 days I do believe if that MEAN DISRESPECTFUL RECEPTIONIST WOULD HAVE LET ME EXPLAIN TO DR VELLEFF THE WHOLE TRUTH OF THE MATTER then I'm quite positive he would have discarded the FALSE POSITIVE cocaine test and made me give actual pee from my bladder,INSTEAD I COMPLETELY RUINED MY WHOLE LIFE, I LOST EVERYTHING I EVER HAD, INCLUDING RESPECT FROM FAMILY AND SOCIETY, I ALSO LOST EVERY LICK OF CONFIDENCE,I WENT FROM BEING SOMEONE WELL LOVED AND RESPECTED TO SOMEONE HATED BY ALL CAN'T BUY A LICK OF RESPECT AND I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE CONFIDENCE TO BELIEVE IN FAITH, this has been the hardest thing I've ever had to go thru but I'm still 100% permanently disabled extreme pain has gotten worse with my last overdose which had me in a coma on life support 10 days and in the hospital 6 weeks I'm now paralyzed from knee down in my left leg with extreme pain I am much stronger than that shit tho today is day number 71 off the shit All I get for pain is Subutex anyway that's my experience with the RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, EXTREMELY MEAN RECEPTIONIST WHO OBVIOUSLY AIN'T BEEN LAID IN MANY YEARS, AT LEAST AINT BEEN LAID RIGHT.

When I expressed my frustration and asked to speak to a supervisor they refused to reschedule or answer my calls. I ended up getting an appointment at 1pm. It apparently that's just when I'll be there and my procedure will by at 2:10 but the staff said that's not even necessarily the case. At the end of the call today I'll have to come at 1pm and got lecturered about not letting my driver leave. They said I could be done anywhere between 2pm and 4pm but that all depends on how things go with my procedure and how I do with anesthesia. I've had this done before and had no issues and was in and out in almost an hour when I did this at the Houston medical center. I hear over and over again this doctor is amazing it's just a shame the office staff is such a nightmare but as you can see from other reviews it just seems to be how this office runs. I almost feel like I should double check my will so fingers crossed I actually leave here without any major medical issues. If you could rate less than 1 star I would. Update*** I was able to speak to the office manager today and she claims my appointment will be closer to the 1pm time but that's not what my appointment reads in their own app. Long story short she essentially considers this not an issue anymore because I have an appointment. She stressed several times that she already took time off during vacation to call me but honestly had the staff not been an issue she wouldn't have had to get involved at all. I did also file an OCR complaint. From what I gathered today this behavior won't be changing and I'll just have to decide if this doctor is really worth all this trouble. Below is what I filed the OCR for the lack of concern this office has when working with disabled veterans. Issue with retaliation from scheduler Penelope when told my appt was not going to be possible in AM. She informed me she had a 1pm appt and I informed her to schedule that and let me speak with supervisor to confirm. She then refused to schedule and told me she'd let the office manager do it. I later found out after reaching out to the providers I see there that the office manager was on vacation. I asked Dr S asst to inform them to schedule me for the 1pm and she again refused. The office manager told me she was on vacation. Penelope had told the office manager I had used profanity which was untrue. On several occasions I noted my disability of anxiety as well as being in Houston to assist my parents with their cancer appointments for Chemo. I was eventually contacted and told they would move my appointment to that day at 2:10 as there was no longer a 1pm appt. I also had to contact the VA about possibly moving my provider as I was concerned about my care at this facility. I believe I was treated inappropriately especially after noting with Penelope my disability status and concerns personally of being in Houston to assist family.

My experience working at Dr. Giordano's office was ultimately disappointing and concerning. At…read morefirst, the environment appeared welcoming and organized, particularly during the time when Jordan Cappella Lawlis was present. However, over time, I observed a number of workplace issues that made the environment toxic and unsustainable for long-term employment. It's important to note that although Florida is an 'at-will' employment state, this company requires new hires to sign an arbitration agreement during onboarding, which effectively waives your right to bring certain legal claims--such as workplace retaliation, intimidation, or discrimination--before a jury. In hindsight, this should have been a red flag. The treatment I experienced and witnessed from management, particularly involving Maddison, and Nicole reflects a workplace culture where employee rights are NOT respected. If you are considering employment here, I strongly recommend consulting with a labor or employment attorney before signing any documents, as the onboarding process includes clauses that may limit your ability to seek legal recourse if issues arise. THIS IS EXTREMLY IMPORTANT! DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY! WITH THAT BEING SAID - There appears to be a pattern of favoritism within the leadership structure, particularly involving Nicole Farace, Maddison Gaede, Heather Warwick, and Dr. Giordano himself. These individuals have close personal relationships that seem to influence managerial decisions and staff treatment. THERE IS NO FORMAL HR DEPARTMENT, and as a result, many staff concerns go unaddressed or are dismissed entirely. Conflict resolution is minimal, and certain team members, particularly Nicole and Maddison, are OFTEN at the center of WORKPLACE DRAMA rather than resolving it. The environment lacks professionalism and objectivity, which has contributed to HIGH EMPLOYEE TURNOVER (do your own research as you will) . Allegations and interpersonal conflicts are sometimes weaponized, and I witnessed multiple situations where individuals were terminated under QUESTIONABLE circumstances--especially when they voiced concerns or did not align socially with management. Additionally, I observed behavior that raised serious concerns regarding inclusivity and fairness. Employees from underrepresented backgrounds, including Black staff members, were disproportionately affected by these dynamics. Comments and actions that suggested bias were neither addressed nor acknowledged by management, further contributing to a hostile work culture. This office may work for those seeking short-term employment or limited engagement, but I would not recommend it for professionals looking for growth, support, or a healthy work environment. STRUCTURAL ISSUES WITHIN MANAGEMENT AND A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY MAKE LONG-TERM SUCCESS HERE DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF THE ESTABLISHED INNER CIRCLE. If I were to rate this company using the standard 1-to-5-star scale, my experience here wouldn't even warrant a 1-star rating. Within the 3 months of my experience,this is exactly what I endored, the workplace culture at this company raises serious concerns regarding inclusivity and racial equity. While Black employees are hired, there appears to be a pattern of differential treatment that suggests the diversity may be more performative than genuinely supported. I personally observed that Black staff were often not given the same opportunities for respect, growth, or conflict resolution. Additionally, with individuals in leadership Nicole (Team Lead) Being Best Friends with Jordan(Office Manager) Heather (office manager) and Dr Giordano (owner) very close - they go to strip clubs together - and Maddison (had sexual relations with Dr Giordano Cousin) created a challenging environment for those who did not conform to their personal dynamics, often leading to tension and isolation

He said, "Great, let's get you an appointment" and led me to the appointment desk. I asked the schedular why I couldn't have called to do that and he said "you have to see the doctor first". It took me another month to get the injection. Afterwards I asked to schedule an appointment for my neck and the same thing happened. This is a scam. Do not give these shisters another penny.

The new guy was concerned, caring and told me he would find the best and safest treatment for my pain. And he did I started having some good days. Then the wonderful physician that was treating me sold the practice. I wasn't particularity fond of the new guy but figured I would give him a chance. They for some reason could not get test results so I went to get copies of disc etc. before my appt. After having problems finding a place to park, I waited behind a couple of other patients to sign in and when i got to the receptionist another one informed her that I was more than the allotted 2 minutes and that I would not be seen. That meant no prescriptions etc until I could be "worked" in. The new physician in my opinion prior to this incident did not really care and his treatments gave me NO good days. I told the receptionist how I felt about the physician loud enough so he could hear me and after a round of applause I left. I did not return to his practice and a few comments made to me as I was leaving gave me the distinct impression there were many who would be doing the same.
