Dr. Michael Valladares, DO

The staff on the Kendall office is not professional and no empathy. We need to change the appalment 3 times and when we get it the waiting time was about 2 hrs. However, our meet with the doctor was 10 minutes my husband and me.

I am more than disgusted with the level of unprofessionalism in this “doctor’s office”. I had been suffering from severe burning sensations in my stomach for months, I had lost over 30 pounds, pale and withering away. The doctor’s “assistant” at the time of the appointment did not take her eyes of her laptop, didn’t ask me about my symptoms, simply stated that because I had a 0.5mm polyp in my gallbladder I was going to have cancer and should contact a surgeon in a couple of months. She made multiple irrelevant diagnosis’s. I had to beg for a gastritis treatment and was prescribed a comical 2 week gastritis treatment on the lowest doses. The assistant did not take me seriously at all. I’m baffled as to how someone can work at a doctors office with such a low level of professionalism and sympathy for their patients. I wouldn’t bring my pet gold fish to be treated by that doctor’s assistant.

I had a colonoscopy three years ago and polyps were found. The type of polyp requires a repeat colonoscopy in three years because they are premalignant. My doctor referred me for the recommended procedure but he refused to do it because I am "too old". Age has nothing to do with it. Expectancy of life does. Who is he to say that I am about to die? That could be, but his chances of dying are probably on par with mine. And I am not telling him to retire and enjoy whatever he has left, which is probably what he should do instead of refusing needed procedures. Do NOT recommend.

I’m so happy I finally found Dr. Valladares. He is super informative and knowledgeable on all things GI. He’s super patient with all my questions and his office is great too. Before coming here I had terrible GI issues for about 6 years, and for years I have been in and out of offices with no relief.... I finally found a doc who was able to pinpoint my issues and more importantly prevent any flare ups.

Dr. Valladares is one of the few doctors that has truly helped me and been there for me when I needed it. It's clear that he actually cares for his patients and loves what he does. I can't thank him enough honestly. Best gastro!

Dr Valladares is one of the most caring, empathetic & professional physicians I have ever gone to. It is very clear how patient care is #1 to him. It was my first time going to see a Gastroenterologist and I had a great experience from time of check in to the end of the visit. He answered all my questions and was very thorough about his treatment plan. He didn’t rush through his explanations. Any time I’ve had to call his office with questions, I can trust that he will return my phone call before the end of the day. He comes highly recommended and I will not hesitate to recommend him as well.

Dr. Valladares is an excellent, caring and knowledgeable physician. He takes time to answer all my questions and concerns thoroughly. His office location is very convenient. He really shows that he cares about the well being of his patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Valladares to anyone seeking a Gastroenterologist.

A wonderful doctor! Very caring! Explained and answered all my questions.

I went to see this Doctor a month ago. He told me I needed antibiotics, pain medication and to visit LabCorp, that was it. I payed and picked up the medications at the pharmacy. When I arrived home I opened the bag and notice a PREP STOOL KIT along with my meds. I called the office to question this prescription as the DR. had not mentioned any such thing, they assured me it was written in error. I went back to the pharmacy, they refused the return because of COVID. I then contacted the doctor's office again, I was transferred multiple times, put on hold, hung up on. After explaining my story to anyone that would listen, I was finally able to get the name of the office manager. I was told repeatedly that she was not available, so I left her a voice mail. She never responded. Yesterday after calling, holding, being transferred I finally was able to speak to Alcira the office manager. She looked in my file and first told me there were two prescriptions, and LabCorp. ONLY after my insiste

I can not thank Dr. Valladares enough for saving my husband’s life! If it wasn’t for his knowledge and skills, my husband would be in a very different situation then he is today. Not only did he save my husband’s life but his warmth and patiences in explaining everything in detail, could not have been more appreciated! I recommend him to EVERYONE!
