Ricardo A. Molina, MD

If I could give zero stars I would. My mother was being seen by Dr. Molina for about a year. I went with her to one visit and I was was appalled and disgusted. This man had the worst negative attitude that I have ever witnessed a professional person have. I don’t know if he was just having a bad day or what but I would not recommend his services to anyone and I damn sure would not want him cutting on me. He was not professional, he acted as if he had no interest in even listening to my mothers concerns, he did not care about the pain she was in and he never followed up with her after her last visit! My first time meeting him made me never want to meet this guy again.

UPDATE: Sadly, I am no longer a patient of Dr. Molina’s after a handful of miserable visits. His office staff treated me with utter disrespect and never took my concerns seriously. I did a perp work to pick up a prescription!
Dirty looks and eye rolls and commands to hold on the phone or wait in the waiting room were common. Phone calls were never returned; I never received word about prescription refills, scans, etc. I played the Waiting Game (In the words of Mr. Plow: «The waiting game sucks! Let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos.»
I waited over two weeks for MRI results that never came, and I finally withdrew as his patient. I feel like I am still in excruciating pain… but a spoonful of shame keeps you under control. Any requests for pain medications earned me derision.
I am really sorry how this turned out… at least they bug me plenty for my balance!
ORIGINAL REVIEW
It’s no secret that I am nervous around doctors. As a chronic pain patient, I have been shamed many times, and I often enter the office feeling defensive.
Dr. Molina may have changed my viewpoints for the better. A St. Rose Emergency Room doctor (Dr. Wei) referred me for chronic knee pain, and I cannot thank him enough! Dr. Molina’s office was clean, comfortable, and run in an efficient manner. The staff treated me and my partner with kindness and respect; during the appointment itself, I felt like my concerns were taken seriously. Dr. Molina even commented on my partner’s year-​old leg injury, and my partner would like to start seeing him, too. The appointment was quick, but thorough; Dr. Molina performed X-​rays, explained what was going on, and discussed where we go from here. I look forward to seeing him in six weeks.
A few days later, the pain became worse. His on-​call doctor was just as helpful, efficient, and kind. I feel optimistic about my health!
I highly recommend Dr. Molina for any orthopedic concerns.
