Dr. Sergio Jesus Jacinto, MD

This office is nearly impossible to get ahold of, you will have to call 20 times in a row and then maybe you will reach someone. I had to personally drop off my sons records as they were unable to accept a fax that was sent 4 times. The office is never running on time and you will have to wait. I gave 2 stars because the Doctor himself is actually great, but it is not worth it to deal with the actual office. I was not even called after my son had a brain MRI, I had to call 4 times to find out. Do not recommend and they need someone to oversee the operations of this office.

Secretaries and medical assistance were very unfriendly. Everybody seem bothered from the moment we walked into the office building. The PA was not polite also seem bothered. Drive all the way across town because of a referral to Dr. Jacinto meanwhile I’m seeing a very unfriendly PA and a very unfriendly medical staff and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Left office feeling very unwelcome and feeling like my son and I were a bother to them. Our appointment was at 12:30 didn’t get brought back till one the office was empty obviously everybody was at lunch never once has any of the appointments been on time. Just really unhappy w all together service! Wish Dr . Jacinto was there bc he wouldn’t put up w these situations. Sad when ur son leaves saying everyone there seems so unhappy.

?? Took my 11 year old daughter there .. it was So horrible my child was in tears he made her feel uncomfortable!! And was very rude as she tried to explain the headach she has . He even slammed his notebook down aggressively. He will be reported to the right authorities over this! He was not professional at all.

We love Dr Jacinto! My son has been seeing him for the last few years and I can’t imagine seeing any other nephrologist for my child. His interaction with kids is incredible and makes everyone feel at ease. One of the best in Tampa! Wish my specialist were this kind!

Dr. Jacinto although strong willed and energetic from my observation per experience with him and our 1st time visit with our 9month old grandaughter ; is by far a unique physician. I am very happy to be Blessed with this man as he is one of great stature and knowledge of which will be helping us with our grandaughter. His staff at the Brandon office also seem to reflect him as well. The office is clean and has a very friendly atmosphere.

Best neurologist ever. My daughter has been diagnosed by multiple professionals as ADD (focus) but he immediately knew it wasn’t that and gave proper life-saving diagnosis. I am forever indebted to this man. So grateful to have found him. He’s honest and straightforward and has incredible knowledge. Love him!!

Dr. Jacinto is a lifesaver. He recognized things that other docs had missed for YEARS and probably saved my child’s life. So grateful to this man for his knowledge and honesty.

Terriable

Dr. Jacinto was awesome!!! This is the first doctor to actually listen to my concerns and actually took the extra steps to put my mind at ease. A few months later my daughter was scheduled for a follow up appointment and ironically my newborn was having some complications... his pediatrician called Dr. Jacinto right away and asked if he could fit my newborn in with my daughters follow up appointment and he said yes absolutely let’s check him out as soon as possible! He was great with the kids very friendly and really took his time in evaluating. He was very thorough and took his time with my kids! At the end of the appointment I again thanked him for fitting my baby in because his waiting room was at it’s full capacity. His response was “ of course! The last thing a worried mother wants to hear is that they have to wait a month to get an appointment for their child after witnessing something so scary! This is why my waiting room is so busy.” His response is something that will stick with me forever. We need more doctors that care as much about their patients! People that are complaining about wait times may not know the reasoning behind waiting! He takes his time with patients and he’s awesome! Thank you Dr. Jacinto!

1st red flag. I scheduled an appt for my son which we werent seen til 2 hours later. My son was diagnosed with adhd 3yrs ago he was placed on a mild medication which improved his attention and focus and now hes an A/B student where as before he was a C student. His previous neurologist made it so hard for us to refill his prescription i would have to take off of work and take him out of school just to pick up the prescription so we decided yo switch. I brought him to Dr. Jacinto and he says to me in 5min your son is fine he doesnt have ADHD look at how calm he is. He was so serious. I said Doctor my kid is well behaved and doesnt bounce off the walls at the age of 11 anymore but he does have the condition and it more so affects him in school. He said he doesnt have it im not prescribing anything for him today go get blood work done and i need alll of his report cards since kindergarten and come back in a month. So i missed work, sat in the office for 2hrs past my appt all for Dr Jacinto to tell me my son is fine because he wasnt "acting" like someone with ADHD. DONT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO HIM. He should have done a thorough exam and read my sons records and if he requires all this extra stuff it should have been mentioned when i set up my appt.

I am also adding a review for this doctor due to how unacceptable his behavior is and was. I completely respect a Doctor that wants to spend as much time as needed to attend to his patient’s needs vs a quick diagnosis. However….there is a correct way of handling a patient’s question(s) when they inquire how much longer (after waiting 2 hours from the original appointment time). A Doctor should not raise their voice and yell “if they don’t want to wait, they can leave” especially around children. We are all adults and professional. The only person that gets hurt in this situation is the child. Now my son, needs to wait another couple of months until he can see a different doctor and practice. Being this was the first time we had seen this doctor and his reaction…it questions his true character and how he views his patient and the care he performs. Regardless how intellectual the gentleman is, it is certainly a negative mark on the practice and the relationships.

Jacinto and staff are so rude and disrespectful. I will never ever take my son back to see them. Please stay away.

I have never met a Dr as rude and cocky as him. We were o. His office three times and seen him once. He diagnosed my son with in two mins of asking him a question. He put me down as a parent in front of my child. Wait time in his office is a good two hours. He didn't help my son at all. It seems he cares more about his car than his patience cause he is always out buffing his car instead of seeing his patience. Terrible bed side manner. We found a better Doctor cause I refuse to take my son somewhere where he is not a prioorty.

From the moment I arrived at the office, the staff were friendly and professional. Dr. Jacinto was wonderful! My son had been sick for several months and Dr. Jacinto went into overdrive to help us figure out what was going on with him. He was very upfront with what he saw with my son and got clarification on his diagnosis. People always make sure to quickly jump to writing the bad stuff, and I need to make sure this gets out there that he was absolutely professional and wonderful with my son. We spent a week in the hospital and he was there every day (even on the weekend). The nurses at the hospital were even very complimentary of his work and it was genuine. Thank you Dr. Jacinto!

Office staff is very rude and unprofessional, I had to wait two weeks to see the Dr. then they called me twice to reschedule my appointment the same week that I was supposed to see the Dr. So I really had to wait a whole month just to see the Dr.

Although we have had a good experience overall...there is definitely room for improvement with some of the staff, the front office specifically.

Doctor was great. His staff is very disorganized and highly dysfunctional.

I would not recommend this doctor. His office staff is incompetent and a nightmare to deal with and the doctor himself is cocky. I was tired of dealing with attitudes and rudeness of his staff along with the machismo of the good doctor.

dr. J has made my daughter seizure free she has had seizures for almost all her life and has even stop breathing due to them and he has saved her she has seen him for 7 and a half years and she is now 12 years old thanks to him he is the best

I have never met a more rude doctor. I will not be returning.
