Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor Piniella is rude
Telehealth
The office staff is nice and PA is nice, too. The doctor is very rude. He ask me about kids allergy situation. When I was not able to finish one sentence, he interrupted me. He seems very angry. This happens every time he asks a question. I am a very soft lady. I used to go to his office because I always see the PA. I stopped going the first time I saw the doctor. The worst doctor experience ever.

Rude staff. Billing is inaccurate
I have no issue with Dr Piniella or my visit with him. However this review is my only recourse for the issue with the office staff. These are two separate issues.1) Before I made an appointment, I called and asked Kelsea in the Key West office how much his office would invoice my insurance company for the 1st round of allergy skin tests. She said “about $1300”. My insurance was charged over $1700.2) When I received the invoice from Dr Piniella, the $388 payment I made via credit card was never applied. When I called Kelsea to discuss, she told me I was wrong and was very rude to me. I was correct , Anna from the Miami office (who was very nice) applied the $388 payment.I will not use the services of Dr Piniella again as I do not trust the staff or billing department. This means that I have to start all over again with another Allergist and get the first round of test again. I am very disappointed and I hope you read this review Dr. Piniella.

Happy as ever !
He was the nicest Dr. I've met. He was comprehensive and made sure everything was okay. He was very understanding and listened. He let me explain how I was feeling without speaking over me. I had an awful cough that went on for days I went to see so many doctors but meeting Dr. Piniella helped me I could finally go out without coughing up a storm.

Extremely Happy
Upon arrival in Dr. Piniella's office I was greeted by his office staff who were very nice and attentive to all my questions. I was promptly brought into the examination room where Dr. Piniella examined me and answered all my questions. Because of the treatment plan that he placed me on my life is 100% better. Thank You Dr. Piniella

Doctor is very rude and he is an angry men. He ask me questions and disrupt my every sentence when I just start to talk. Forget to send prescription and I have to wait for three days to get prescription. Worst doctor ever in my life. Try every-way to avoid him. His PA is good and staff are nice.

Dr Piniella and his staff are the best in the field. Everyone in the office is helpful and incredibly kind. I have recommended him to all my friends and family, everyone who is seen him leaves impressed. It's nice to go to a private practitioner who doesn't have million partners and takes the time to listen.

Based on the review of others, I scheduled an appointment for my husband who suffers from severe food and environment allergies. Dr. seemed okay at first but told him to throw away the SLIT therapy that husband had been taking under care of an Orlando doc -- and take these two RX medications. Husband did for 2 days, then woke up with severe allergy attack. Called office and learned now that this doctor only sees patients on Wednesday - no matter what or how severe the problem. Suffer!!

Dr. Piniella is competent, but his staff is a BAD. I was overbilled hundreds of dollars and refunded only 60. I held off on immunization while I figured out my insurance. By the time I was done, it had been a year, so I call the office of Dr. Piniella to start shots, and they tell me that they can't find the records and to just come by in person. I do that, after taking time off at work they tell me that I need to start all my analysis over again. WASTE OF 2 YEARS AND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS
