I went to see Dr. Mandrea and when I got there my appointment was switched to Dr. Mandrea Jr. He was nice, but most of the work was done by a resident they had - and I did not appreciate that at all. I went to get my stiches removed and the resident was the only one there that Saturday. She made me wait 45 minutes to remove 3 stiches. The whole procedure took no more that a minute and she charged me the full $30.00 co-pay for what she called a "consultation". I tried arguing with her about the $30.00 but she said that was the fee; I told her she spent less than a minute with me removing the stiches and she charged me anyway. I will never go to Dr. Mandrea's again - their staff is not friendly and they are not considerate towards their patients and their needs. They take advantage of their patients - they lost one the day they took advantage of me!
Cons: The doctor does not provide the service; the resident does.
