i have gone to dr. demco over the last 14 years, and i do agree that he is sometimes hard to understand, but i do feel he tries. my surgery went well and was quickly tended to and i just feel that if you want to go somewhere for a visit, call a friend. if you want and intelligent dr. to tend to you, he might not have great bedside manner...call a friend

Not only did he incvite a young intern into the exam room without my permission, but he spoke to him as if I wasn't there. He also offered medical advice on my questions without even examining me. He was rude and unthorough. I would not recommend him to anyone.

I was telling someone about this "wonderful" doctor (I use the term losely) and my horrible experience with him. I saw him in July 2007, he gave me an internal and I left feeling violated, embarrassed and as though what he did to me was beyond wrong. There is a post 3 below mine that is very similar to my story. I was told I had pulled my stomach muscles and to make an appointment with his "favorite" message therapist. He did a pap on me which after telling me I would get results in the mail "soon" over 2.5 months later I still have not received anything. I left his office as fast as I could after my exam and will NEVER go back. This was the most humiliating experiences of my life, I have had lots of paps in my life by both male and female dr's and never experienced anything as embarrassing as the one I had with him. I can only hope for his possibly future patients that he retires very very soon.

STAY AWAY!!! I waited 6 months to see this doctor and got an appointment in Feb/07. Was told by him - very rudely - that I had no idea what I was talking about, I had no girl problems and if my husband ate a can of beans everyday for a month he would have the same trouble I did. I was devestated and discouraged as I knew something was definately wrong! Went for second opinion, waited another 6 months and within a month of that appointment I was on the operating table. They found me full of Endomertiosis, scar tissue and other issues. Stay Away from Demco. He has no clue and clearly has no respect for women or women's issues.

Had laporoscopy done by Dr. Demco 4 years ago - Endometriosis, which he didn't manage to clean completely. Came to see him last year complaining about same type of pains. After a checkup he adviced to go to his massage therapist. I had to insist on ultrasound, which showed 2 fibroids. Even my Family doctor could find it. Got no recommendations from Dr. Demco. Had to switch to a different doctor.

I was refered to him by my GP as I had ascites and he suspected ovarian cancer. After waiting over 3 months to finally see him, I was told that my doctor did not send adequate information to him so he refused to even speak to me any further. A very embarrassing appointment not to mention I was upset at the diagnosis and felt let down that he did not even bother to ask questions or do a physical and then request his nurse for further info from my gp. I never returned and was referred to another doctor. Thankfully the problem was not ovarian cancer as all the delays would have killed me by now. Not a nice person for a doctor.

I was shocked to see the news about him. I have been going to him for years and never had any problems. He has done 3 surgeries on me for different reasons and I have never had any issues. I have referred friends to him and they never had problems. I stopped seeing him in 2008 when I heard he was retiring. He will always be a good doctor in my books.

I saw Dr. Demco about 20 years ago when I was in my late 20s. The experience sticks with me because I felt violated. I was referred for breast pain, and after examining me he had me sit on the exam table naked from the waist up, as he stood a few feet away and just looked at me. It did not feel like a ‘professional look’. I tried to ignore it, but my gut was telling me that this guy was treating me like an object. I now wish that I had complained, but I think that at the time I would not have been taken seriously. Has anyone else had this kind of ‘inappropriate’ experience with him?

Dr. Demco has been my physician since 1985. He delivered my daughter and grandson and performed much needed surgeries that improved the quality of my life. I am disappointed he will not be able to treat me anymore!
