Dr DeAmicis has been my physician for more than 20 years. I have probably visited his office 100 times for physicals, followups, and an emergency or two. I find him to be excellent. I can always get in if I need to. His staff will always see to it that my meds can be refilled when prescriptions run out. It's easy to get needed referrals which is so important in our current healthcare system. I've never had a billing problem.

I have been going to Health Care Specialists for years now. The first time EVER meeting Dr. DeAmicis was when I had a rare allergic reaction to a medication. He wanted me to not go into work that day and I told him that I would get in trouble if I didn't go to work. All of a sudden he started swearing at me, told me to go to work and if anything happened it would not be his fault. I said something to the nurse practitioner that I had there at the time that Dr DeAmicis should NOT be speaked to his patients like he did to me and she seemed not to care. I still go there but have since changed my practitioner in the office and refuse to see Dr DeAmicis - this man is a doctor and should have compation and sympathy for his patients, which he surely does not have.

This doctor does not have any compassion for his elderly patients, especially once they have been put into a nursing home. He treats them with a complete lack of respect and dignity. He bypasses my loved one who, for months, has wanted to speak with him, and goes straight to the Healthcare Proxy - when the patient has NOT been deemed incompetent by a judge and is perfectly CAPABLE of discussing her own healthcare and making her OWN decisions. Dr. De Amicis also gets involved in family politics by abiding by the wishes of the Healthcare Proxy which has included lying to the patient and not being honest about the future plans. He also plays mind games with our loved one by telling her he's been in to visit her several times while she's been at the nursing home, but when she claims to not remember...he tells her she must has 'forgotten' the visits because of her 'dementia'. In her upper 80's, this woman does have moments of forgetfulness....BUT, these visits do NOT happen and are NOT true - completely fabricated to 'keep her quiet' when she continually requests to see her doctor. It's disgusting to make her feel as though she is losing her mind, when in fact, he has NOT gone in to visit during the times he stated....he just took information from the Proxy. It's a sad situation to have a doctor, someone who a patient should be able to trust, be so dishonest and lack the respect and dignity he should have for each of his patients, regardless of their age. Instead, he gets involved in the family dynamics, allowing the Proxy to overstep the bounds of the Healthcare Proxy in order to do whatever they decide is convenient for themselves...and NOT necessarily the best option for the patient. BEWARE....if you are getting up there in age, or have an older loved one with Dr. De Amicis as their doctor...I would highly suggest thinking about finding a new Primary before it's time to make important life decisions. This doctor does not have great ethics when it comes to end of life care. Find someone that will give your family member the respect they deserve of having an honest caregiver helping make the best decision for them....with compassion and dignity. I don't want to see ANY other patient go through the torment my loved one is going through, now. Any doctor with a conscience would not allow a Proxy to mistreat their patient the way this one is...or overstep their bounds and make decisions based on anything other than fact and what is BEST for the patient involved. It is abusive and heartbreaking.
