Dr. Quiroz’s nurse Kelly is very unprofessional and unwilling to help. My dad has been a patient for couple years now with Dr. Quiroz. My dad now needs knee replacement surgery through another DR. However, my dad needs clearance from his cardiologist for surgery and needed an EKG and other labs to be done between May 12 and June 10th in order to get surgery. Nurse Kelly was extremely unprofessional. While trying to make an appointment for my dad she advised me that the Dr just saw my dad a week ago. I reexplained the situation of needing EKG done within a month before knee surgery. Nurse Kelly proceeds to tell me since they just saw my dad they would take the risk and clear him for surgery - she literally said “take the risk.” Excuse me? That’s not the verbiage I want to hear from a so called health professional. My dad has a-fib along with other heart complications. There’s no way I’m ever taking him back to Dr. Q and his nurse Kelly who is comfortable with taking risk with people’s lives. We are looking for a new cardiologist and I highly recommend not ever stepping foot into this office.




Update: My dad went to his primary care since nurse Kelly refused to book him an appointment. My dad’s EKG came back abnormal and the primary care referred him back to cardiologist for clearance. Dad goes back to Dr Q’s office and was told he would never be seen by Dr Q again because I left feedback on my negative experience with Nurse Kelly. How shameful ! If the nurse would have simply booked the appointment all of this would have been avoided. Dr. Q is a decent doctor, this review wasn’t a reflection on him. This review is strictly on the lack of professionalism and courtesy from Nurse Kelly. Fortunately, we found a great cardiologist and a HELPFUL nurse who are willing to do EKGs whenever my dad needs them.
