Coastal Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine: Peter Candelora, MD

Ian Rothermund

A horrid office staffed with worse people. If you think you need medical care, but actually need someone with a dog brain to insult your appearance, then this is the office for you! Before they act to respond to the latest bad review with some lame excuse for their incompetence and unacceptable behavior, know that they’re liars, they do not care, and to the rest of you, there is a 0% chance they’re doing any ‘research’ to acknowledge the host of reasonable complaints brought on Google. Just go somewhere else, there’s like a million orthopedic doctors. It’s that easy.

Hired me and made me dye my hair (it was purple). I begged to wear a headscarf but they insisted. When I tried to dye it brown it turned green. The ugliest green I have ever seen. I hadn't bought the headscarf since they basically asked me not to wear it so I had no choice but to ask forgiveness. When I went in to start my first day I explained what happened to my hair. They asked me to leave "before the doctor saw me". I guess he really has a problem with women dying their hair. I left and said I would try to fix my hair. I spent over $100 on scrubs, over $40 on dye and accessories. I cried over losing my purple hair (that was $200 and beautiful and made me feel like myself) a lot. They then called me the next morning and asked me not to come back. I asked what I did wrong besides my hair accidentally turning the wrong color. She just kept repeating I wasn't a good fit. I was counting on this working out and being a good thing for me. I will never ever recommend these horrible people to anyone as long as I live. Absolutely heartless. Thanks guys.

2 weeks for appointment. Hours of waiting. $650 to walk in the door. I have terrible ankles. DR Ear Hair tells me my ankles are fine, "very strong" in his words. Writes me a "prescription" for physical therapy and walks out the door IN SECONDS. The place is a joke.

Do you enjoy wasting your hard earned money and your invaluable time?!?! If so... this is the place for you!!! Took me just about a month to get an appointment... then 2 hours after my original appointment time i was finally seen. I cant say anything about Dr. Candelora personally....well thats because ive never seen the guy!!!! Was pushed aside to his physicians assistant who looked like he absolutely hated being there and offered me little to no help. Took me a month to get an MRI appointment and the day before it gets canceled due to failure on the doctors office to provide information to the insurance company. Then i get told... come back in next week and we will have you see Dr. Candelora himself for further evaluation only to be pushed aside to his PA yet again...sat again in the waiting room for awhile... then they wanna try to charge me another copay just to tell me they want me to do physical therapy. YOU CAN TELL PEOPLE THAT OVER THE PHONE. Needless to say... they are money hungry and do not care about their patients needs. Been dealing with shoulder pain for almost 4 months with nothing done. Ive read similar negative reviews about this place thinking it had to have been just a few bad experiences and decided to give it a shot anyway..but clearly the negative reviews are correct and the status quo for this establishment. Do yourself a favor and dont waste your time here... your injury and health will thank me later!
