Dr. Patrick Santiago, MD

I was referred to Dr. Santiago for my resistant high blood pressure. On my first visit my BP was 214/124 and he was told about my history and my intolerance to many medications. He was going to prescribe to me a medication that I had already tried twice that made me sick. He gave me a different medication and when I got home and took one pill I knew something was wrong. I never felt so bad in my life, it basically was an overdose that I was experiencing with the worst headache of my life, sensitive to light and very bad nausea and I called his office and was told to only take half a pill and the Dr would call me the next day. He never returned my call to check on me and I refused to take the medication. He ordered tests on my heart that were extremely important and then didn't schedule me for an appointment to tell me the results for almost 2 months. I was totally appalled that he never returned my call after something so serious happened. In hindsight I should have went to the hospital but I was relying on my Dr. After it was obvious to me that he didn't care about my health I called to cancel my next appointment as I did not want to see him again and the receptionist didn't even ask why. When I asked her if they would like to know why they were losing a patient she didn't...but I told her anyway and all she said was...Well, have a nice day and hung up! BAD BAD DR!!
