St. Francis Hospital - South Bay Cardiovascular

Office is well run. I’m in and out every time. Staff very friendly. Dr. Bello is amazing! Very kind with great bedside manner. Nurse Sarolta made me feel so comfortable.. she is very passionate and professional!! I appreciated her kindness. I will be a patient here for life.

Doctors are good, but I was disappointed with the billing practices at this office. While I was hospitalized, I was billed an additional copay for a cardiology visit, even though I was already admitted to the hospital and believed care would be covered under my inpatient stay.

Hard to get appoint with the drs but I guess of demand. I do appreciate Dr Lee. He’s very thorough and understanding and he listens great bedside manner.

They ask for double copays(yes, as in 2) one for the doctor and another for facility use. The receptionist rattles of the code that allows them to do this legally...a real godly institution obessed with greed. They may have good doctors but the 5 minutes one spends with them isnt worth the hour long sessions for billing issues...it was enough to give me angina.

Like others have mentioned, be VERY careful about booking an appointment here! They run a scam with what you will have to pay. I've had the same insurance for 10+ years and I have a $40 copay no matter what doctor I go too. This place is charging me $240 for a routine visit. I only went because my primary care doctor said I should go to a cardiologist just to be checked. I had nothing wrong with me. By the way, they don't have the balls to tell you they are going to rip you off when you check in. They collected my $40 copay and than sent me a $200 bill a month later. They claim that since they are affiliated with the hospital, a routine visit is considered an outpatient visit. Can't make this stuff up.
