BBB
She did a great job.
She listens, I mean really listens to me.
Dr. Florido ranks as one of the best Heart Transplant Cardiologists that I have ever seen. She has the Technical skills as well as the Communication skills that are so important to me as a heart transplant patient. I saw Dr. Florido for my 5 year heart transplant appointment. When you speak with Dr. Florido, she makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world during your appointment. All of her energy is focused on you. I feel so lucky that she is on my team and is looking out for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Awesome Doctor
Dr. Florido is an excellent physician.
She was so helpful and ready to try the best way that the right meds could be found to help me.
Compassionate, complete knowledgeable care. Dr. Florido has access to the latest information and how it impacts my heart health and care.
Kind mannerisms and professional through all parts of the visit. Did not make me feel as though she had to leave and get to other patients. She took the time to listen to me make the appropriate changes to my medication and clarify my care going forward.
Dr. Roberta Florido is wonderful to work with. She is kind and really cares about the patient. She is a dr. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cardiologist.
I have been seen, treated by and administered by dozens of medical staff and this hospital is excellent in every detail.
Very much on top of things her knowledge of heart problems was very reassuring. Thank you
She is absolutely awesome. I felt comfortable and I know she heard me. She offered reassurance and encouragement. I was totally impressed.
I could tell that Dr. Florido had read my past chart notes as well as the information sent from my oncologist. She had great bedside manners and was able to answer detailed questions. Highly recommend!
I really appreciated Dr Florido.
Very knowledgeable and respectful
After waiting for over a half hour for Dr. Florida to confirm the labs prescribed by the resident, I needed to visit the bathroom and excused myself. Upon returning to the exam area I was told the labs were confirmed and I did not need to see Dr. Florida. As I was leaving the lab area, Dr. Florida approached and informed me I should start taking a new medication. The next day I received a notice that the labs were stable and I didn't need to make any changes in medications. This was confusing because I didn't know if that meant I didn't need to take the new medication the doctor had prescribed as I was departing from the hospital. I cannot address questions about the care she provided since we spent little time together, but did not feel respected by her.
She's a great listener, friendly, explains things clearly and has a clear path forward to ensure I'm getting the best care possible to kept me alive and healthy.
Doctor was very friendly, caring and efficient.
This is the first time I received care from Dr. Roberta Florido. She us an incredibly talented Cardiologist, and is helping me resolve an issue with a swollen left foot. She listened to my concerns, and is developing a plan to resolve it.
We think she is amazing!!! Kind and concerned about our health care and proactive to get things done before condition has a chance to go bad.
This was my first meeting with Dr Florido and she seemed to listen to my concerns. She explained things so they made sense
Roberta is very knowledgeable and kind.
She made me feel like I had a friend who cared about me
Very professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and was very nice to interact with!
