Ballinger Clinic

Editorial review from Citysearch

Do not go to this clinic. I have never been treated so horribly in my life. I made an appointment looking for a new primary care Dr. I had seen some horrible reviews but I had taken them with a grain of salt. I never even saw Dr. Mazzeo I was asked what medications I was on and I forgot about one of them. Apparently the nurse found online that I was prescribed a mild pain medication and because I didn't disclose that I was accused of being a drug seeker and the Dr. refused to see me. I was not there for pain medication I was only there to find a primary care and get a different...

NEVER AGAIN

Average Rating

20

the clinic itself is very attractive, and I found the front desk staff to be helpful and friendly. However, the nurse practitioner was very cold and harsh. I went in for chronic back pain caused by a car accident and she immediately acccused me of being drug seeking, even though I specifically told her I did not like taking narcotics. When she filled out the fee form, she charged me 70 dollars more than I had originally been quoted, and did not even give me a prescription, just told me to put ice on it. To be avoided at all costs.

Revised Opinion - Stay away

At first I believed Dr. Urriola cared about her patients and I had a connection with her. I have found out that she values the money more than her patients. I have a small bill that I had paid 1/3 of it but not enough for her office. When I went to a scheduled appt I was told she refused to see me until I paid at least $25 and then I could reschedule and wouldn't meet me at all. Didn't have the class to come talk with me personnally. I took off a day of work to make the appt but they did not care. I had very little money left in my acct but they did not care. It was all about the money. You...

Dr. Mazzeo is exceptional!

Average Rating

100

The clinic itself is very nice, clean and easy to navigate if you are moving slow or in significant pain. The reception staff is courteous, very professional and will answer any questions they can regarding insurance, billing or scheduling.

Dr. Mazzeo is simply outstanding; he takes time with all of his patients, and listens to you, asking very detailed questions in an effort to formulate the best course of action.

I have visited him several times and although the rest of the provider staff is good, I prefer to see Dr. Mazzeo.

Pros

+ Detailed, Listens to you

Cons

- NONE!

Choose the right doc

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Alina Urriola for years. She is smart, caring, and personable. I trust her judgment.
Over the years, we have seen a few of the other docs there, and some have had really odd personalities. Sometimes brusque, or just odd.

Free and plentiful parking, right in front. The clinic is clean, the front desk people are great, and the location is convenient for us. And they are open on weekends!
If you go, just be picky about what doc you see.

Pros

+ Dr. Urriola, front desk, parking, wkend hours

Cons

- some weird docs
