I believe that Dr Avino is rather unconventional with the time he allows each patient, which is no limit. Other patients wait quite a while to see him, but when their turn arrives they too have no limit on the time they need with Dr Avino. I found that when I first called for an appointment he took me immediately. After running a couple tests he had me immediately admitted to Buffalo General Hospital for an angiogram, which was quickly followed by open heart surgery - 6 bypasses. I believe he saved my life. So if you want to... read more

My first question... how do you follow up with this doctor? Have been trying to follow up for two weeks for a person with whom I have been charged care. Phone rings and disconnects. Terrible communication. No follow up. Not recommended for someone in need of urgent care. Dr Avino, you are supposed to be a health care professional. My opinion is you are nothing but a quack. And fix the phone issue! Unbelievably unprofessional.

Terrible doctor. He should have his medical license taken away. There are other options. Please do not go there. You will be disappointed. He is awful and his staff is rude. I feel sorry for his patients. I would rate him 0 stars if possible. I would NEVER recommend him.

I have read these reviews and I am absolutely disgusted. Dr Avino is the best doctor I know and he saved my life. I agree the wait times are long sometimes but he is a cardiologist with emergencies. He takes time to help each patient however long that may be. I know personally he spent over 45 mins with me the first time I saw him to get everything squared away. I would and do recommend him to everyone!!

He should not be in practice taking care of this His office is managed very poorly. Unfriendly staff, long wait times, and no follow up. It is a stressful, discouraging and unproductive complete waste of time. Dr. Avino says he is always available," Call anytime." but trying to get any clarification of the misinformation and erroneous orders he provides is near impossible. Go elsewhere if you are in need of care. Your medical health is in jeopardy here.

I will never go see Dr avino took my 69 year old mother there had her start taking a drug for high blood pressure, she started hallucinating and mimicking signs of alzheimers. Gave her a med change piece of paper on letterhead with no date of change or follow up my mother has been suffering with this for 6 months. Now experiencing side effects to stopping the Madi cation that almost killed her. Stay away I'm contacting the ama for misconduct

We are still waiting after two weeks for Dr Avino's office to return our calls to see another Dr at Buffalo General Hospital that Dr Avino wanted my husband to see with concerns of his Doppler. I have called his office for 2 weeks and receptionist just tells us she will put it in the notes and will have someone return our call. This has been since the end of March 2018, it is now April 9th 2018. Looking for other Dr. The receptionist is horrible.

My 87-year-old father had test on 12/19/17 in prep for pacemaker. April 2018 and we have yet to get the results. I made over 20 calls to the office during past months but phone system doesn't work. I finally drove to the office, I live 45 minutes away, and asked girl at the desk for results. She told me "no news is good news" and they're aware of the phone system (hasn't worked for 3 months). Still no results, seeing different dr., not paying bill. Wouldn't take my dog there.

While my husband liked Dr. Avino, his office staff is HORRENDOUS! He requested a copy of an office letter & report to submit for a life insurance policy change, & has been waiting for over a month. He even signed a release. The front end person we have had to deal with, Jean, is VERY nasty & rude. She refused to let my husband speak to the office manager or give him the office manager's name. Do yourself a favor and DON'T go there! The doctor is never available to speak to about this either.
