Tuttelman Ronald M MD PA

Let me give an honest review of Dr. Tuttleman, since many of these reviews look like they are posted over and over by the same person. I’m a first time mom, but I am 31, and I try to be as knowledgable as possible. Tuttleman HATES questions and will answer in a very condescending manner. So beware! If you don’t have questions about your care or that of your unborn child, then by all means pick him. Be ready to wait for about 1.5 to 2 hours for your appointments! Next, when I went for my first appointment it was supposed to be a well women visit which would have been free of charge for me through my insurance, of course he billed it in such a way that cost me $ 75 dollars. Next, most obgyn’s set up a plan with insured women to pay after delivery. They start collecting a payment to go towards your deductible and don’t charge you upfront. Tuttleman’s office manager explained this to me and then still dipped into my insurance fund for $ 170 for each appointment, while I am supposed to be making $ 200 monthly payments toward my deductible and his eventual bill. Which sounds like double dipping to me. Oh I’m not done yet. So he doesn’t do ultrasounds in his office so he will refer you to a high risk specialist, even if you aren’t high risk, for your first sonogram. The bill for that? $ 1500 and there is no pre warning so the expectant parents can prepare! The things conducted in this test can easily be done through the $ 130 harmony test. As a first time parent, you walk into your obgyn hoping they will help guide you, instead Tuttleman will make you feel stupid for having questions, he will make inappropriate comments, his office will tell you to cancel all gym memberships, all he will prescribe for morning sickness is Zofran and when you bring up recent studies that show links to birth defects he tells you, you are stupid! Be prepared for his staff to call you for additional payments when you leave the office and having to call and verifying your insurance with your insurance company every visit. His staff will call you like typical bill collectors and be very nasty, and when it’s discovered they are mistaken DO NOT EXPECT AN APOLOGY!
Next, his office manager is a big olé bully and MOST OF HIS PATIENTS cannot stand her. During my first trimester I traveled on a trip previously planned. I asked the doctor if it would be OK to travel and he signed off on it. While on the trip the second day I woke up to light pink spotting, literally 2 wipes and it was gone, I called the doctors office to be on the safe side. The office manager told me I was a horrible mother to travel during my first trimester and that I didn’t care for my child. She then said, «miscarriage» 5 times in a nearly 3 minute conversation. I nearly flew back home right then and there. Come to find it was normal first trimester light spotting. When I called to complain, Tuttleman took up for his office manager and spoke in circles and left me very unsatisfied.
Lastly, we asked Tuttleman about having sex since I was bleeding after. I had read that normally happens during the first trimester. He told me he didn’t believe in the world normal and then used a weird football analogy that my significant other and I couldn’t decipher. After all of this in a one month time frame we decided to move to a new OB. Rest assured that Tuttleman will give you a hard time to get your medical records. And since he doesn’t do blood work in office be prepared for a $ 700 out of pocket bill from quest.
I moved to All Women’s Healthcare of West Broward with Dr. Jay Cohen and I love him. He will answer questions, thank you for allowing him to be part of this journey with you, they are VERY UPFRONT about billing, his nurse Stephanie is the best and all the doctors are great!

If I could give this ungrateful, bastard a negative star… I would! Dr. Tuttleman has the worst bedside manner I ever seen from a professional, in the medical field. I was pregnant with my first child in 2012 and was in need of an OBGYN. My mother-​in-​law found him and I promptly scheduled an appointment. The office is old and outdated and could use a little TLC. I overlooked the appearance and focused on my visit.
Dr. Tuttleman has a foul mouth. He talks to women as if we were in a bar; kicking back a few drinks. I was a little taken aback, but I still pushed through and he remained my doctor for my entire pregnancy. The day I was suppose to deliver, he was in a nasty mood. I arrived in the morning. By the time 7:00pm came around, he claimed my daughter had Meconium and ordered a C-​Section. I was prepped for surgery and this is were the TYRANT came out. I was in a lot of pain and I went to touch my face. He ordered the staff to tie me down. I was so out of it, I couldn’t fight the good fight. He was so rude during surgery. It was the worst 45 minutes of my life, thanks to him. When he came to the room a while after the surgery, he dropped off a box of gauze for my bleeding c-​section. He barely belted out a congratulations for the birth of my child. To say the least, I was pissed!
I was discharged from the hospital and was scheduled for a follow up appointment, 3 days later. Without even saying HELLO, he ask me «Do you have the gauze I gave you at the hospital?» Ummmm??? NO. Who the HELL carries gauze around? Especially, when your going to the doctors office, that should have ample supply. I wasn’t on any medications that day. To say the least. I cursed him to heavens, to say the least. He is the wrong profession. He should have been a Mortician!

I have been to this office since 2012 and dr Tuttelman delivered 2 of my babies. As a medical professional, I think the staff here are extremely personable. They treat you like family. Whenever I call I don’t even need to state my name, they already know who I am. I have never experienced that kind of service in any other medical offices I have been to. I highly recommend dr Tuttelman because he really is very best in the area! His office is very busy but it is well worth the wait!

Dr. Tuttelman and his staff were extremely incompetent. Telling me one thing then doing another. There is no reason you should have to get an ANNUAL papsmere every six months. Not to mention I don’t know of anyone who has insurance that will cover a papsmere twice a year. Having to stress about receiving your oral contraceptive in time because he only writes six month prescriptions is absolutely ridiculous. Furthermore, my office visit was extremely uncomfortable and painful, something I have never experienced at an OB/​GYN and something no one should have to experience. I left the office and switched doctors and feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Dr. Tuttelman has been my physician for 17 years. He is one of the kindest physicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He always takes the time to sit down and explain to you exactly what the problem is and what the treatment options are. I had 2 very complicated pregnancies and I was fortunate to have his expertise. He was there throughout this stressful and difficult time. He was there to answer questions and put my family at ease. His staff is exceptional. They are courteous and very accomodating. I feel blessed to have met this wonderful doctor!

I have been a patient for almost 15 years. I can’t speak any higher of Dr. T and the staff. He delivered my 12 year old daughter and is my oldest daughter’s Dr., delivering her son 9 months ago. My daughter and I have both had some health issues and Dr. T. has taken care of us like we are his family. He always explains everything in detail and makes sure that you understand. You never feel rushed in his office as he always takes the time to listen to everything that you have questions about.
I love Dr. T. and his staff. I never want him to retire. If you are looking for a gyno, look no further. He is the best that there is.
