Dr. Michael Amaro, MD

I really wish I could leave 0 stars. THE WORST DOCTOR I ever encountered! He is very cold and unwelcoming. He was supposed to be performing a minor surgery removing a cyst instead he removed my ovary and left NO NOTES for the hospital to explain to me what happened and why I was cut the way I was. I didn’t get an answer for weeks because he never returned the messages I left with the staff. I also had a positive BRCA test (genetic mutation for possible breast cancer) and his staff told me it was negative! I told him that the staff told me it was negative and he said “no it was certainly positive.” I asked him what exactly did it mean and he said in the coldest voice “ It means you don’t breast cancer now but later on in life you will get it.” I was devastated and thought I was going to die!!! I got a second opinion and they explained it much better!! Never went back and never will.

I've been his patient for one year and the staff still refers to me as Dr. Rizk's patient. The office staff is not professional. Numerous calls for appointments were ignored in December 2019 and the beginning of January. I called the second week in January and reached someone and made an appointment for a procedure, but I had to cancel the January 20th appointment because I did not give them my new insurance. I rescheduled for today and was told that I could not have the procedure because needed to fill out paperwork. This was the first time they ever mentioned paperwork and I explained to them that they should have informed me before today. I was told that I would meet with the doctor to fill the paperwork out and schedule the procedure for later. After waiting for one hour I had not been called to go back, I told them I had to leave and all she said was okay. I called back to discover that I was never scheduled for an appointment and it was somehow my fault. Horrible!!!

This was one of the worst experiences of my life! I debated on taking the time to post a review, but I received a bill. Every time I see or hear anything about this Doctor and his staff I cringe. I had a wonderful Doctor for 20+ years by the name of Dr.Rizk. Dr.Rizk, retired in Dec. 2017 and forwarded my records to Dr.Amaro's office. I needed my Well Woman's exam and I faithfully take them on time every year and didn't take the time to review Dr.Amaro's reviews (worst mistake). Annual exams are covered by insurance. I was able to speak with the doctor prior to the exam and explained to him how my menopause was coming along, but also shared I had experienced the death of my BF (suffered a heart attack) while we were on vacation. So to say the least anything that didn't feel normal to me I was on high alert. My mom had breast cancer, so I get mammograms faithfully. Exam was performed without a hitch. I was working out and explained that he would see in my huge file (Dr. Rizk) I am aller

Wonderful doctor, professionalism 100%,

Would give less stars if I could. This doctor refuses to talk to patients over the phone about any issues. He refuses to renew prescriptions, even for just one month until you can get in to see him. It doesn't matter if it causes you to lapse on your medications. The front desk staff is unsympathetic and rude.

the staff is rude, dr. was an hour late. The nurse stated that him being late was the "usual". he never spoke when he finally walked in.. Searches for my babies heartbeat for literally 30 seconds and says "yep I don't hear one" walks out and we wait for another 45 minutes for an ultrasound. I look out and he's on the computer in his office. @ the ultrasound he says "oh there it is" come back in 4 weeks. Very impersonal, dry, NEVER coming back.

Dr. Amaro is excellent at listening to your needs and concerns. He is the kind of Doctor that takes that time to ask how you are doing? Every visit is pleasant and the staff are friendly. I have been seeing Dr. Amaro for more than 8 years. He is a cool dr. I highly recommend him.

The most terrible experience. On my very first time meeting him he walked in the room said his name and told me to lay down and open my legs. Didn't explain what he was doing didn't ask me if I had questions or concerns, didn't even attempt to smile or make small talk. I will never be back. I couldn't imagine seeing such an unprofessional awkward doctor my entire pregnancy

Throughout my pregnancy I got to see Dr Amaro only twice! He doesn't spend enough time with the patient after a looong wait (40 minutes +) and he doesn't listen to your questions or gives you a chance to ask. I wouldn't recommend this Dr. He was on leave when I gave birth and I had no Dr to take care of me and this is not the first time he goes on leave during my pregnancy period. The front desk ladies are very rude too.
