Dr. Christina Peña MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE! BEWARE of this doctor. This doctor only cares about money and because of it I had to be rushed to ER one morning. Miami

PLEASE READ BEFORE VISIT. BEWARE of this doctor.  This doctor only cares about money and because of it I had to be rushed to ER one morning.  On my first visit the doctor told me I couldn’t ask any questions or I would have to schedule an appointment.  This was an immediate RED FLAG!  She ran some tests as part of an annual visit (which the purpose of an annual visit and the testing was to see if everything was okay or there were any abnormalities to be addressed.   I had an issue I needed to discuss but she wouldn’t give me the time and sent me on my way and told me we can discuss it once she had my results.   I called back a week later to get my results and was told they don’t give results over the phone and I would have to schedule yet another visit.  

I explained I already had an appointment schedule but they told me I would need an additional appointment.  This was simply so she can double dip and nickel and dime me.  This is not ethical and not what any doctor should be doing.  This is yet another major RED FLAG!  I was billed one visit for the testing and then she wanted to bill once again to give me the results!  I went back for the second visit and explained I was having a lot of pain and needed some medication and she told me that I would need an ultrasound first (yet another visit) and I once again had to wait with zero treatment.  I scheduled the THIRD appointment and went for the ultrasound.  I waited and didn’t receive a call so I called the office and the receptionist told me the doctor was out of town and I would need another appointment to get my results but had nothing available for four weeks!  I found this all incredibly upsetting and irresponsible on part of the doctor so I simply found another doctor (Dr. Michelle Starke on coral gables) which is amazing, responsible and not out to nickel and dime you and I highly recommend her!  

About three weeks passed and I had sudden extreme pain and had to go to the ER as it was so painful and scary.  After several tests and an ultrasound at the hospital I was told I had a cyst that could be malignant and would have to be tested.  It turned out to be malignant and the story is long and extremely painful which has brought me to file suit due to negligence on behalf of this doctor which almost cost me my life!  The test results were requested from this terrible doctor (which they didn’t want to release) and on the results the large cyst was very clear and it was complete negligence on this doctor’s part.  After sharing my story with my new doctor she put me in touch with her personal attorney to file suit and now we are pursuing this due to negligence.  Please beware of this doctor and don’t put your life at risk.  Find someone else who will give you the care, time and dedication you deserve.  Call Dr. Michele Starke if you want a true medical professional who cares and is devoted to her patients.  You will not be ripped off there!
