Constantine George, MD

When my baby was born, I started taking her to Dr. George since I’ve heard great things about him. Even though we always had to wait a lot, the staff are all very rude and the waiting room is very depressing and not child friendly at all, I somehow managed to keep seeing him since I thought he was a good doctor and he cares. Well, no not really. My 10 month old baby has been sick for a couple of days and when I called the office to ask if I can walk in, so he can see her since I am very worried, his response through the receptionist girl was «I am too busy today and have nothing available, if they are so concerned they need to take the baby to urgent care». I was like «Are you serious right now? He is her pediatrician and he can’t find time to see her when this is the first time I need him without making an appointment??» I could not believe how much he does not care about his patients. He didn’t suggest the other doctor who works there to see her, he didn’t offer to see her the next day, he didn’t offer to speak to me on the phone or show concern at all. I immediately found another pediatrician who I am actually really happy with, was able to see us right away and have very friendly staff and much nicer office.

I have been to this office about three to four times and really like the physician’s assistant that I see, Julio. I have never seen the doctor but Julio would get 5 stars. My complaint is for the staff. Do they every answer the phone?!? I called multiple times trying to get in ASAP for an issue I was having and never got through so I gave up. Called another office that a coworker recommended and got an appointment within 24 hours.

I feel this practice deserves a better rating than the current 3.5, so I am contributing it to hope justify this office. Most complains are about the wait times… but lots of Dr. offices in Vegas make you wait forever. The popular ones are usually with a long wait and some doctors are worth waiting for, I believe. Hate to say this, but do you feel comfortable going to see a doctor with no one in line, doesn’t that make you wonder why he/​she is unpopular? And things do happen with doctors, some cases are easy and some are not, so they can’t always justify their appointment times, especially he’s also a pediatrician. You know how parents can be. I am not saying that everyone should always wait for an hour to be seen, but I do understand why doctors are usually late for their appointments.
For my first visit, I waited for 75 mins before Dr George came in to my exam room. I was about to be very furious and almost walked out just a few minutes before he came in, but after he spent 25 minutes with me in the room asking and listening to all of my problems and issues, I honestly didn’t mind the initial long wait. It shows that the Dr. does care or listen to your needs or concerns. It’s worse when you wait for the dr. for 1 hour and you only see him for 2 minutes. Not the case with Dr. George. Every visit I’ve had with him, he always took the time to listen and explain, I never felt like I was asking too many questions and being rushed so he could move on. I like they have a lab on site, so that saves you time to go to another lab place to get basic tests done. And the rest of my visits are usually a 30-​min wait, just the first time was bad and he did explain why.
Also love that you can email him with questions and he always writes back or his staff would call you back within 24 hours. They’d help me make appointments with specialists on my behalf, so I can be seen sooner, and they always checked which specialist I could go base on my insurance. I love the email system of him writing back personally or he would make sure his staff take care of his patients. Twice, I got emergency appointments to see his staff the very next day or same day. One time I got to see his practice partner, Dr. Ryon, who is also beyond helpful, because Dr. George wasn’t in town. And one time I got to see the PA. But never once he said just go to Urgent Care if it’s that urgent and we don’t have any openings. And if he prescribes you with something, he always has his staff follow up a few days later to check if the drug is working or not, or time to see a specialist… which I think it’s pretty rare. Most Dr. just see you, take your $, give you your prescription. Who does follow ups anymore? They do!
I am surprised to see many bad reviews of his staff. Maybe the bad ones left? Everyone I’ve encountered at this office are all very nice and helpful. Summer, one of the staff, always calls and checks on me a few days after my visit with Dr. George. And she reports back to the Dr. what my outcome is and then she’d call me back with Dr’s order. I think this is pretty sweet. I have no complains at this office. maybe I should make some up to make people not come here so I can wait less next time? But that wouldn’t be fair and everyone deserves to have good doctors who care, listen and try their best to help you. Doctors are also humans, not magicians.

Worst doctors office ever !!! Over an hour wait for them say he was going to be late wtf never will I go back again. Wish I could give 0 stars

I wanted to give the staff at this office a chance to improve but over 6 months and 4 different visits… it hasn’t happened.
Dr. George is great but has unprofessional staff. They are unorganized and have wasted my time and/​or been rude on several occasions. Yesterday, for example, I had to do blood work and they put me in a room because they thought I was there for a follow up regarding the results. So the doctor came in and improvised by just telling me what I already knew. What? Can’t you see my blood was never taken?
Need stronger communication between front office staff and Doctors. Always crowded.
Have to call several times to speak to someone even during hours office is open. Switching to a different Doctor

HORRIBLE!!!
This doctor and staff has the worst customer service my family has ever experienced. First let me say that since this doctor has a large portion of his practice that is pediatrics, however, they do not have the common sense to make the waiting room somewhat kid friendly. Although that is clearly not the reason anyone would choose a doctor the reason for pointing this out is because I honestly do not believe we were ever attended to on time for our appointments. Even though this office never was on time, they have a strict rule of patients being on time or they will require you to reschedule your appointment. We actually showed up 5 minutes after our appointment once and we were turned away. Just know this, we NEVER got out of that office in under 90 minutes. Clearly the doctor believes his time is the only one that has any value. So, if the standard practice is never being on time then at least having something to distract young children as they wait impatiently in this standard waiting room. This is simply a good business practice by providing what the customers need.
The front desk staff is completely unprofessional as well. We constantly had to wait as they finished their personal conversation among themselves. This unresponsiveness also continues throughout the course of the visit when we have been sitting waiting for well over an hour just about every visit we went on. Whenever we asked how much longer it would take for the doctor to come see us because our infant child was tired, grumpy, and agitated they would look at us with a blank stare as if nothing was registering in their head and simply told us the doctor would be in soon.
As for the doctor, well generally, he was pleasant when we would finally see him. However, from the moment he walked in it was clear that he had already moved on to his next appointment. Every time we asked questions he would respond appropriately but he would hurriedly say «Ok any other questions?!!» while making the motions of clapping his hands as if he was trying to push us out the door. Now I realize he has a busy practice and that’s great for him, but as first time parents we always had many questions. We never really felt like Dr George wanted to spend any more time with us and our child than he absolutely had to, which was completely unprofessional. Finally, something that we found a bit disturbing was that he always posed the same question to us prior to leaving an appointment «So when are you having another baby». At first we believed that was very thoughtful, but as we got to know him better we came to believe that he was simply seeing dollar signs and only trying to fuel his practice with new children. Of course I realize that is natural in any business, however, I don’t think he needs to be so pushy about it. Those types of decisions are very personal between my wife and I, we should not have to be pressured by our doctor every single time we go in for a visit.
It is for these reasons that I would never recommend this doctor to anyone and I simply want to share my experience with others so that people have this information prior to choosing one of the most important people in your child’s life. We have since found a doctor that is always prompt to his appointments. Between the time we get to the doctor at Sunshine Pediatrics (our new doctor) till when we leave its generally half the time we would spend at Dr George’s office, on average.

Having a scheduled appointment has no regard in this office. If you are prepared to wait over two hours after your scheduled appointment to then be offered to be seen by a different doctor because «he’s running really late»…then you will have no complaints… otherwise you will be infuriated and waste your time. For my appointment at 11am I waited in the lobby then was taken inside and instructed to wait some more in a patient room, of course after having paid my copay. After waiting a total of 2.5 hours I was fed up and decided to leave. As I walked out of my patient room Dr. George Constantine saw me and walked up behind me, with a demeanor of being annoyed and stated «if you want me to see you now I will, otherwise you can make another appointment. I have a business to run!» There was no apology for making me wait so long, no excuse offered only an air arrogance and an attitude of «take it or leave it!» No respect or regard for the patient’s time nor acknowledgment that you as the patient are the paying customer. have now requested my medical records and will be seeing another primary care physician.
I’m an RN in a busy emergency department in town and our average time for turning over patients is under two hours… we have no appointment process and no control of the inflow of patients! If an emergency room can turn over patients in under two hours I don’t think it’s an unrealistic expectation to at least be seen by your physician in his office in under two hours for a schedule appointment!
Dr. Constantine’s is a great practitioner, and when I first started seeing him as he was starting his practice I was very happy but now that he’s established and continues to grow… everything I valued about him has been diminished if not eliminated.

Dr. George is by far the best doctor I have ever had. I came in looking for a permanent doctor and I have most definitely found one. He takes time to listen to all of what you need, he actually talks through everything so you know, every step of the way what is going on. He answers every single question I have thrown his way, professionally and kindly. He is so well spoken and highly intelligent. Since I have started seeing him, every aspect of my health from head to toe has been taken care of and I have never felt better. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone in need of a new doctor. His staff is so sweet and so kind to me every single time I go. If we had ten stars to give, he’d have them all. Best doctor I have ever been to.

I really wanted to love this office after seeing some good reviews online. We recently moved to town and needed a pediatrician for our daughter. For her first appointment, we waited a long time (in the small waiting room and there are no toys at all for kids, which seems odd since seeing children is such a large part of their practice). We went just for a regular check up but I really can’t imagine sitting there waiting that long with a sick child. By the time we saw the doctor it was almost two hours after the actual appointment time and by reading the other reviews, it’s not a rare occurance. Dr. George was pleasant and seemed knowledgable and also made a good reference to a speacialist our daughter needed so that was a plus. Dr. mentioned he’s always available by email which I thought was great because our prior Dr didn’t give us that option. I left that appointment feeling neutral and was willing to still come back and give the office more opportunities to prove this was a great place. Then about a week after the appointment, I emailed the dr some pictures of my daughter because I was concered about a rash she had developed. No response. So after several days of using ointment, fortunately it got better and I didn’t need to bring her in. Then she got sick and was vomiting a lot in the middle of the night. I called the dr’s office and left a message with all of my information and that I was concerned and needed them to telll me what I should do. NO RESPONSE *EVER*. This was weeks ago. I really miss my old pediatrician in California where there was always a Dr. on call and someone would call back within 15 minutes no matter what time at night. Seriously, how could they have an email and voicemail option and not return messages. isn’t this a potential liability? I’m not going to stay around to find out at my children’s expense so I’m going to have to find another office that really has time to be more patient focused. Maybe this one is too busy and I would not recommend this office to anyone I care about.

He has constantly messed up my grandma’s prescription and changes things without her knowing. Good luck ever trying to call in because the staff will never ask you and will most likely call back weeks later. Waiting in the waiting room takes about 30 minutes and that doesn’t even count when you’re in the room. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. I suggest staying away. He is a nice person just not a good doctor.

Came across this office by chance. I had a appointment with another pediatrician in Summerlin but due to their mistake. We showed up, waited 30 minutes and was told we didn’t have an appointment.
Called this office and they had an opening, and I had to make it here by 30 minutes. My son was 6 weeks premature and this was his 1^st doctor visit. So I wanted to make sure he saw a doctor.
Dr Ryon Parker is great! I cant’ say enough great things about him. He is patient, takes his time, notices details about my son and explains things to us so we could understand. He understands the worries of being a parent and I HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for a pediatrician. My sister joins me when I take my son to his doctor visits. And she always comments on how she really likes Dr Parker and even though at times there is an hour wait, with an appointment, he is worth waiting to see.
The only thing I don’t like about this office is that they see adult patients at well. Just wish it was strictly a pediatricians office. Also, they had my son listed as «female». Office staff didn’t even notice the mistake, but I later notice after receiving calls from the office wondering why they always referred to my son as «she». But I emailed Dr Parker, he quickly apologized and made sure it was corrected.
Love Dr Parker as my pediatrician! Thank you Dr Parker! You are the best and my family thinks so too!!!

Great Doctor worst staff ever!!!~!!! Not nice and never answer the phone. I really like Dr George but lately his really busy and cant get an appointment till in about a month. Also when you do get an appointment if its at 10:00am you wont see him till 11:00am, .When I call his office it takes me 20 times to actually get answered. Dr George needs to teach his employees better. Needs more organization.

Very disappointed of this place. Upon check in, I told the receptionist lady that I’m aware that they will be closing in less than an hour, if it’s possible for my son to be seen because he is sick. She checked me in and have mention that she’s going to talk to the doctor if it’s ok for my son to be seen. So we waited, 40 minutes later. She said, Doctor won’t be able to see my son because they are already closed! WTH! Thanks for letting me know after 40 minutes of waiting! I just walked out and tell her thanks! I didn’t want to argue with her. ‘Cause If I argued for my son to be seen, they won’t do anything and I will end up paying anyway. So I just left! Will definitely pull my kids out of this rude place. They don’t care about their patients! These people are in the WRONG field! SO DISAPPOINTED! No human kindness!

Dr. George has been my primary for 5 years. Yes, it can get busy. It is well worth it. He focuses solely on you when he’s with you. He now has Dr. Parker in the practice; and, I’ve heard great things about him. You will need to make your appt at least a month out. Once established as a patient, Dr. George is great at squeezing you in instead of referring you to urgent care. He’s genuine. He’s kind. He takes care of his patients.

I have had nothing but goos experiences at this office. I saw both Parker and George. They really care about their patients and what they do. Being a former healthcare worker myself I can tell you their care is by far the best I’ve ever had in las vegas. They are thorough and listen to your physical complaints. I’ve seen several drs trying to obtain a diagnoses and they’re the first team of professionals to not throw pills at me and send me on my way. They have ordered all necessary testing and have clear patient care plans. I am a patient for life. I hope they never leave!

I love this office. I saw Dr. George personally before I had my son. After my son was born, I returned to have him care for him. It is not like other pediatric offices, because they see people off all ages, but they do have some children’s books.
My son has seen both Dr. George and Dr. Parker and I feel they really care about my son. They are usually super cautious, and as a first time mom, I like that! They are very smart.
Unlike other reviews, my wait time has never been long, but I always try to get first in the morning or first after lunch. I also like that they can draw labs on site.
I think they are worth checking out! You should always find a doctor that fits your personality and who you feel comfortable with, and they fit that for me!

We first learned of Dr. George while our son was in the NICU. The other family told us how great he was. Watching his interactions with the family and hospital staff made our choice easy. He is the most caring and compassionate pediatrician in Las Vegas. He takes the time to listen to any concerns you have and answer all questions throughly. The wait times can be long but he’s worth the wait. I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment even as a sick walk in.

I love the doctors however I’m not a fan of their staff. The last time I went there for check up without my health insurance then yet, I asked a couple of times if she will be having her vaccines and they said Yes. I Asked because without my insurance I have to pay $ 100 co pay and I would rather wait for my insurance to kick in. After Dr Parker checked her I asked if she would be getting her shots and they said she is not scheduled. Really? That pissed me off big time.

This is a great office. The staff are professional and courteous, friendly and helful. My apointment was quick and went smoothly with great timing.
I love getting a copy of my lab work, even though they use their computers for just about everything, I still get my paper copy!
They see all ages, they provide comprehensive care, so I feel they are looking after all of me!
The office is located just off 215, on rainbow and sunset, close enough to my home, and easy to get too!

Great Doctors I have to say! They actually take the time to listen. I will say their staff
Very unprofessional and very rude. (because of staff MINUS 1 star)
