Demeo Harry G MD

I have been seeing Dr. DeMeo for the past 3 ½ years for Celiac disease and other stomach related issues. He has been so knowledgeable and supportive during this time, always answering any questions I have in a timely manner. He has really helped me feel better and given great advice for treatment! You can’t find a friendlier staff and more helpful team. I have a tough work schedule and the receptionists are always willing to work around it to ensure I get an appointment. I have received three procedures at his office and felt comfortable and relaxed every time. I highly recommend Dr. DeMeo!

I’ve seen Dr Demeo three times this year. Was supposed to go for a follow-​up after a procedure so I scheduled an appointment. Couldn’t get one for almost one month. As the appointment time came closer, I was called because my appointment had to be canceled. Fine. I scheduled another appointment for about three weeks later this time. The office called me to confirm my appointment the day before. It was for 3PM on Friday. I was set for it, even though it was an inconvenience for me because I had another appointment elsewhere at 4:30. So when I get to the office, the «receptionist» tells me I «missed my 2pm appointment»! I of course argued it for a minute, clearly stating that she told me yesterday over the phone that my appointment was 3 PM. I also scheduled it for 3 PM weeks ago. Now she tells me that she never said 3 o’clock because she had 3 other patients at 3 o’clock. So let me get this straight; this receptionist schedules 3 patients for Dr. Demeo to see at 3pm? He must be a very quick doctor with other patients, because this has not been my experience in his office. I usually have a 20 – 30 minute wait time. To top off the rest of this last visit to his office today, the «receptionist» tells me I need to reschedule. The audacity! I need to reschedule yet AGAIN because of an incompetent receptionist? I promptly told her to give me my records and I will find a new doctor thank you! I filled out the form and I will pick up my records next week. This is absolutely no way to treat a patient suffering from a WTC illness! I promptly called our FDNY WTC office for a new doctor. Shame on Dr Demeo and his staff. And I hope to god I haven’t developed a tumor by the time a can start over with a new Dr.
