Dr Carlos A Labrador MD PA

I have been going to Dr Labrador over a year now. I have found him to be a very caring, and thorough practitioner. He came highly recommended by a friend who is a RN in my area after trying several other MD’s in my area and was totally disappointed with their unprofessionalism. I highly recommend him.

I was recommended to see Dr. Labrador because I had heard he was a really good doctor. I made an appointment to see him just to get a general checkup. When I got there I was told I wasn’t going to see him on the first visit but was seeing his PA instead. I thought that this wasn’t a good way to represent his business but since it is his business he can operate anyway he sees fit. His staff seemed to be ‘okay’ — just friendly enough to do their job. Nothing more. During my visit they recommended that I get an EKG. The aide administered the test and asked me if I had had a heart attack. I said ‘No’. I then became worried. The PA comes in and tells me that I have had a heart attack. She said I needed additional tests. My next appointment was scheduled 3 weeks out. Now if I had had a heart attack you would think that Dr. Labrador would have stopped by to see me on my first visit and ask me additional questions. He didn’t. You would have thought maybe he would have called me within those 3 weeks and said something to the effect of, «I’ve got you scheduled for another EKG or a stress test and that you need to go to Dr So and So». I never heard one word from him about my ‘heart attack’. The level of care at his office is non-​existent. It seemed like he didn’t care about me at all except to collect the $ 400 for this office visit. Also — don’t waste your time transferring records from his office to your new doctor’s office. He writes the new doctor notes that the ‘new’ doctor won’t tell me what he has written.
