I just walked away from this sham. Bottom line; This practice (Vein Institute Of Pinellas) will attempt to extract large amounts in up front payments. Claiming justification that it's the patients responsibility do to coinsurance and deductibles. I immediately contacted my insurance provider, of which they informed me this should not have been the case. Something else I feel is suspicious; I did not see an actual surgeon, MD, or doctor during my ultrasound and first initial consultation appointment. BE AWARE OF THIS PRACTICE, SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT!

If doctor Saba is your doctor. Chances are you will not see him they will assign you another doctor without telling you.

Dr Saba use to be so caring.. I been with him since I was 25. Now I’m almost 45. Now, he seems to only do it for the money. I’m waiting on him to walk in and AS SOON as he walked in, the lady that draws the blood comes in as well. I thought he was going to tell her to give us a moment and he didn’t. So all the issues I had that day. I MOSTLY kept to myself. Patient confidentiality went straight out the door. Maybe it’s time for him to retire. Oh yeah. Everything I spoke to the nurse that came in before him. I Got all my referrals. The two things I spoke to him about, while the lady was in the room, because I didn’t care to share more.. Never got a referral to. HE JUST DOESN’T SEEM TO CARE ANYMORE!! And he was the best caring doctor at one time..

He is a caring and very capable Doctor. He listens to my concerns and has always been helpful when ever I had questions. His staff is always helpful and professional. I've been with him since 2004 and hope he is my doctor forever. He really cares for his patients.

Dr. Quackenstern/SABA is a violator of HIPPA! He gave consulted with a unauthorized individual regarding a patient in a local nursing home. No Medical POA, No Health Care Surrogote, No Living Will. Just a financial POA with no Health Care clause or directive. He overdosed our elderly relative with Risperdal. We were told two weeks ago that the facility would start weening our loved one off this horrible drug. Today we find out he has not been weened. Dr. SABA seems to have quite a shady background. IF your loved one is at a nursing home, do not let this man near anyone in your family.

There is so much to be said about this Motley Crew (i.e., a motley crew is an informal expression for a roughly organized assembly of individuals of various backgrounds, appearance, and character. ... Motley crews are, by definition, non-uniform and undisciplined as a whole.) It’s a rare occasion when I have to interact with the staff and or management of Saba’s office, however I have see the revolving door of D.O.’s, M.D.’s and ARNP’s over the last six-years I've been dealing with Saba crowd from Bayfront hospital to Ed White hospital ( now closed) to St. Anthony's hospital. However, my pain and suffering currently and continuous occurs with my interactions on behalf of my 92yo mother at St. Anthony’s hospital, who I believe is complicit in supporting this bad doctor. As well as ignoring my request to be assigned to a different doctor when my mom is admitted to the hospital from the ER. Therefore, because my request to have my mother seen by another doctor has been ignored I am forced to take my complaint to the internet. Thus, I know nothing will be done her but other will know my story. For the record, over the last four-years I have tried everything I know and understand about patient’s rights to rid myself and my mother of Hazem Al-Andary, M.D. The one-time event that has put me off from Al-Andary occurred when my mom was neglected at a hell hole of a nursing home which was overseen by a doctor who was a part of PHC of Pinellas at that time. My mom was so badly cared for at the nursing home she was admitted to the hospital and placed in the ICU. When she left the ICU and was place on a regular nursing floor, that is when I met Al-Andary,M.D. My mom was in such bad shape Al-Andary wanted to place a feeding tube in my mother’s gut. As my mother’s POA and Health Care Surrogate I said No. It was a hard fight and I ended up fighting with Al-Andary and another foolish doctor from PHC of Pinellas about what I believe to be an unnecessary procedure, and I was right! I fought hard to protect my mom and to make sure she no was harmed done to her via ameliorable adverse event and Iatrogenic disease . At the time my mom was 88yo and currently she is 92. Thus, I nursed my mother back to good health. However, on occasions I have to place my mom in a nursing home should I need a break or need to travel. Each and every time I do my mom get sick and is sent to the ER with a bad UTI or neglect and normally she is admitted to the hospital for additional treatment. When she is admitted to the hospital my mother she is always be PHC of Pinellas normally Al-Andary btw, I always request another doctor but I am stuck with the PHC crowd. Anyhoo, a year after the feeding tube incident Al-Andary was my mom's doctor for the UTI. As usually we had a few exchanges of words and I reminded him who I was and how he wanted to put a feeding tube in my mother against my opposition. Now here is the rub.... can you believe that fool ‘s rebuttal to me was ..."Yea, I remember and if we had moved forward with the feeding tube you mother would have died within six months." and side it with a straight face! No one can make this crazy mess up! Needless to say, I I’ve been fighting ever since to keep that devil away from my mom. What kind of human would knowingly perform a procedure that would cause a death of a person, and that right their folks is why I do not and will not to trust Hazem Al-Andary, M.D.!
