Dr. Haralambos Demetriades, MD

Went to see Dr. Demetriades with a lower back infection called “discitis”. He treated it with an oral antibiotic and... when questioned why oral cause the normal course of treatment is IV antibiotics I was told that he was sure that oral will take care of it. Two and half weeks later during the follow up, I told him I am still in pain and it is even worse. The ego on this doctor is ridiculous and he is going to end up really hurting someone. He told me that infection is gone and that I need to exercise. When I asked how do you know the infection is gone I was told by him that he is the doctor and went to school for 5 years and I cannot even begin to understand what he already knows. Went to another doctor for a second option and come to find out the infection is not gone in fact it is worse and there is no way the oral antibiotic would do anything they are just not strong enough. This doctors ego really is dangerous apparently his 5 years of schooling did not teach him how to handle a basic text book infection. You have to be your own doctor when seeing Dr. Demetriades! His colleagues on the other hand are very nice and paid attention during their 5 years of school and if it wasn’t for them god knows how much damage Demetriades would have done to me. Stay away from this egotistic jerk that has no right to be cause he is not that great of a doctor. Should have know when his colleague had a month wait to see and I got in right away with Demetriades. more details
