  Compassion for a patient is absent when the insurance paperwork isn't right. 4 days prior to surgery I was told it was mandatory to see the doctor before a surgery. His staff at me sitting for 2 and a half hours while they sorted out a referral from my primary care physician. Instead of just seeing me I sat till the financial portion was sorted out. The nurse tells me all I was gonna get done was they were going to take my vitals and he would give me a visual. She said he could do it the morning of the surgery which means he was only trying to line his pockets for a few extra dollars. After telling me she would see what time the surgery was because they were moving times around and that it would take a quick sec, 15 minutes later I wrote a note telling them to cancel the surgery and that I would find something else. It was very unprofessional and all it showed me was Dr Chiancone don't care about his patients if he isn't being compensated. I will rather wait a few more months if I have to in order to find another doctor to perform this surgery rather than to patronize a doctor who allows his patients to be treated in such a dismissive manner.

  I was very disappointed by Dr. Chiancone, both times that I saw him. The first time he ignored one of the health issues I was there for, saying that he wouldn’t address it until after the first issue was addressed. Meaning, I would need to come back for another appointment - more money for him. When I asked him the medical reason why both couldn’t be addressed, he didn’t have one and reluctantly agreed to talk about both issues in the one appointment. Second visit, he had not done any of the research and reading about my case that he promised. In fact, he acted surprised when I told him about the condition. As if we had never discussed it before! Sooo....if we couldn’t discuss that, then why was I there? There wasn’t another purpose for the visit. Finally, I needed surgery and I saw online that he was affiliated with a hospital in DC, where I’d recently moved. I asked about scheduling the surgery for there and he straight up barked at me like I was his child! I was shocked that he would take that tone with a patient. In addition to the tone, the substance of his answer also bothered me. He said he wasn’t doing the surgery anywhere but Hospital X (Hospital X is an hour’s drive from my house, AND it also has horrible reviews about important things like cleanliness, sanitationand sterilizing instruments!) He continued on to say that if I didn’t want to go to Hospital X, I could just find a new doctor. I honestly clutched my pearls, y’all. I have never! I smiled at him because why argue and he started grumbling that this was why he was leaving America because these damn people...(I couldn’t hear the rest, he kind of faded out). So, he might win some but Giancarlo Chiancone has just lost one. I will *never* return to see this churlish, forgetful, promise breaking, money grabbing, rude doctor, so help me God! I suggest you stay away as well.
