Maria C Adolfo MD

I’ve been seeing Dr. Adolfo about a year now. I don’t have any major health issues, so I don’t see her frequently. When I am in to see her she is very attentive to what I tell her. My blood pressure was higher than usual and told me she wants to keep an eye on it. When I returned during my last visit she checked everything without me bringing it up. I do remember going in because I thought I had an UTI and she sent me to get urine cultures but did do a quick in office test (which came back negative). She refused to give me antibiotics and I thought for sure she was crazy. She did give me something for the discomfort and I Went the next day to the lab. The pain went away the next day and turns out I didn’t have an UTI. So I respect the fact she didn’t want to immediately prescribe me antibiotics. I have noticed that she is very cautious with anything she prescribes (pain meds or not). She looked up each med she has prescribed to me in the past and reoccurring prescriptions. She also brought up the fact that a certain medication I take has «addictive» tendencies and wanted to keep a close eye on that. I mean… I get it, it her medical license and she has to protect it. If you are looking for a doctor to hold your hand, rub your back and hand you any med you want… Dr. Adolfo is not the one. Lol! I like her so I will continue to see her for basic PCP visits.

Dr Adolfo was very professional and I had zero issues. Wait was a bit long but hey its a doctors office what do you expect :) …

I was referred here after going to the ER. My leg is numb and I get shooting pains in my right leg. It’s very weak and at times my back feels like it’s going to break. I can’t tolerate the pain but can not stand pain medication as I always feel like I’m getting sick.
I waited over an hour with my daughter. She came in and yelled at me asking why I was there. I explained why. She said «I’ll give you pain med and a shot. Besides that I don’t know why u bothered coming to see me.» Spent less than five min and yelled at me right in front of my five year old. I started crying after she left (which I never do but In so much pain). I just want a solution. She didn’t even examine me or anything. I’ve never been treated so badly in my life.
I was shocked when I took the med to the pharmacy and it was 120 pills of strong pain med! And they wonder why people are addicted to pills in America.
I plan on finding out the problem and writing someone about the treatment received here as well as the attitude to give someone that many pills, that I barely use bc guess what… PILLS DONT SLOVE THE PROBLEM!

I am baffled by my visit to Dr. Adolfo’s Ft. Apache office yesterday. I can’t believe her complete disinterest in my appointment. I can accept waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time because it seems like most medical offices are running behind, however the rest of my experience was unacceptable.
A nurse checked my weight, blood pressure, and pulse. When the doctor finally saw me, she came into the room and sat behind her table with her laptop for the ENTIRE appointment. I have never been to visit a primary care doctor that didn’t listen to my heart and lungs, check my nose and throat, etc.
I described my symptoms to her and she diagnosed me with a sinus infection. That seemed reasonable, but I still don’t understand why she didn’t look at my physical symptoms.
She prescribed an anti-​biotic and something to help me when I am feeling dizzy. I took the script to the pharmacy. I got a call later telling me that she forgot to include the dose on the anti-​dizziness medication. I received a second call from the pharmacy telling me that my anti-​biotic could have a very serious interaction with another medication I take on a regular basis. (I know she knew I was taking this medication because she asked if I was still using it.) The pharmacy attempted to contact the doctor several times today to recommend a different kind of anti-​biotic, but she didn’t return their call.
On my way home this afternoon, I stopped at the doctor’s office to find out what was going on with my script. The girl behind the desk told me the doctor would call them at the end of the day. I expressed my frustration with the doctor as well.
When I returned home, the pharmacy called me to let me know that Dr. Adolfo had called them and CANCELLED the script for the anti-​biotic! The doctor told the pharmacist to tell me to take Sudafed. During the appointment, the doctor had SPECIFICALLY told me NOT to take Sudafed because it can cause dizziness.
I have never been treated like this! I will not be returning to her office, and I suggest that you find someone else to treat you medically.
