Cabral Jose M MD - Weston, Florida

Pivi Benjumea

I have to share my husband‘s experience. He made an appointment in August 2024 for December 4 today September 19 they just called to say that they do not have any other appointments available until January 2025 because the doctor decided to cancel the appointments on December 4 that is unbelievable. I don’t think Doctor with the rating he has is going to be that busy.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience with Dr. J Cabral at Cleveland Weston clinic. My appointment was scheduled for 7:15 am, but Dr. Cabral showed up a staggering 1 hour and 30 minutes late at 8:45 am. This level of disregard for a patient's time is simply unacceptable.

Once the appointment finally began, Dr. Cabral's behavior was equally unsatisfactory. He didn't take the time to thoroughly review my blood test results, which is a fundamental aspect of an endocrinologist's job. Even more concerning, he repeatedly interrupted me, never allowing me to finish my sentences. This lack of respect for a patient's perspective and experience is disheartening and unprofessional.

To make matters worse, Dr. Cabral shockingly suggested that I change my primary doctor, which left me feeling confused and unsupported. His diagnosis of "pre-menopause" seemed rushed and without proper consideration. None of the other medical professionals I've consulted before had arrived at such a hasty conclusion. They, instead, meticulously analyzed my hormone tests and blood labs, and referred me to an endocrinologist for specialized care.

I had eagerly awaited this appointment for over a month, hoping for a professional and respectful consultation. Regrettably, Dr. Cabral's demeanor and approach left me feeling disrespected and frustrated. If you value your time and seek compassionate, thorough, and professional medical care, I strongly recommend looking for another doctor. Dr. Cabral's conduct does not meet the standard of care one should expect from a Cleveland Clinic

Dr. Cabral Jose M and the Cleveland Clinic, and I feel compelled to share my horrific experience. It is disappointing to witness a renowned institution like the Cleveland Clinic ignore the egregious misconduct of one of its doctors, Dr. Cabral Jose M.

When I stepped into Dr. Cabral Jose M's office, I was met with an aura of unprofessionalism and indifference. His lack of empathy and disregard for my concerns were evident throughout the consultation. Instead of taking the time to understand my medical history, he rushed through the appointment, barely listening to my symptoms and dismissing my questions with arrogance.
Not only was Dr. Cabral Jose M uninterested in my well-being, but his conduct was downright unethical. It became apparent that he had little regard for patient privacy, as he openly discussed sensitive information about other patients within earshot. He had no respect for my time. Often I waited for over two before he would see me.

Moreover, Dr. Cabral Jose M's incompetence was palpable. His misdiagnosis and subsequent mismanagement of my condition led to severe complications and unnecessary suffering. His lack of knowledge and refusal to seek alternative opinions or collaborate with other specialists showcased a distressing level of professional negligence.

However, the Cleveland Clinic's complete failure to address these grave concerns truly appalled me. Despite my attempts to raise the issue with the clinic's management, they displayed a shocking lack of accountability and indifference toward my ordeal. Witnessing an institution prioritizing patient care and safety ignore such blatant misconduct is profoundly disheartening.
I urge anyone considering medical assistance at the Cleveland Clinic to exercise extreme caution, especially regarding Dr. Cabral Jose M. My experience serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the potential dangers of placing one's trust in an institution that fails to hold its doctors accountable for their actions.
In conclusion, my encounter with Dr. Cabral Jose M and the Cleveland Clinic was a nightmare. I would appreciate anyone seeking quality healthcare to steer clear of this institution and its negligent doctor. It is a distressing reflection of the state of our healthcare system when professionals like Dr. Cabral Jose M are allowed to continue practicing without consequences.

HORRIBLE!!! Misdiagnosed me. Insisted that all I needed to do was lose weight. Insisted I needed bariatric surgery. After many visits I went to him while having the start of a thyroid storm; trembling, foggy brain, diffuse pain, rapid heartbeat and more... he completely dismissed it all telling me all I needed to do was get bariatric surgery and lose the weight. he refused to do blood work. I had to see my PCP the next day who is not affiliated with CC. She ran bloodwork and immediately called me to tell me my levels for my thyroid were off the charts. She recommended I go to University of Miami STAT. I went to University of Miami eccrinology dept to be evaluated. The next night I was admitted and told I was having a thyroid storm. I was immediately placed on two medication to help stop the excess thyroid hormone from going into my cells. I could have died from a thyroid storm. It is a true emergency. I was diagnosed with both Hasimotos and Graves that Cabral missed them completely. Simple antibody testing would have shown it all. I could have died on the operating table if I followed through with his suggestion to have bariatric surgery. I paid for the classes and everything required and was 3 weeks away from having that surgery. I lost my marriage of 18 because this doctor would not do the work required to delve deeper to discover why I was appearing and behaving the way I was. I explained it all to him and he ignored everything I told him. I was diagnosed with two thyroid auto immune diseases; Hashimoto's and Graves. My thyroid was very unstable making me very unstable. He discounted everything I said even when I walked in holding on to the walls in pain barely able to lift my legs with very poor vision and losing my hair in clumps down 10lbs in one week trembling like I had Parkinson's disease. I could hardly complete a sentence because of foggy brain. He treated me as if I was an anxious hysterical mental woman. Yes, when people are hyper with too much thyroid hormone they can appear to have mental issues that is why ordering labs is so important to rule out underlying medical issues. I had my thyroid removed and cancer was discovered. Hyperthyroidism can cause anxiety, insomnia, hyperactivity and is often misdiagnosed but this was a endocrinologist who should have known all of this instead of trying to make me appear like I was mentally ill. AND he was always late and full of himself. He speaks with such arrogance and all knowing. All women have PCOS and Metabolic disorder, insulin resistance and anxiety to him .Shame on you, Cabral. Karma to you!! Be careful with this guy.

Even though I had to wait over an hour I feel the wate was well worth it. I have a rare condition and Dr. Cabral was very familiar with it. He took his time and listened and ordered the one test that should have been ordered 3 years ago. He was shocked at the unprofessional evaluation and tainted (24 hour urine) test that was profirmed by Dr. Kathryn Reynolds in Palm Beach Gardens. I highly recommend him. If you have a completed health issue, stay away from most Florida doctor's, they are only interested in getting you in and out fast to make their money.
Yes, I sound upset, but after what I've been through the last 8 years I needed to express my frustration. Cleveland clinic is now my main source of physicians.

Dr Cabral's clinical intervention skills are as inept as his staff. My wife is ill with Cortisol deficiency. We've seen Dr. Cabral 3 times and he's done nothing but change the medication from generic to brand. Nothing else to stablize her acknowledged condition. We requested (not suggested by the Dr.) for an ACTH test to verify if her 2nd adrenal gland was functioning. We were explained that insurance clearance was needed and that we would be contacted once cleared. That was August 21, 2013 . After making a follow up call to the office on September 19 to verify clearance, we were told that nothing was done and that they will rush it. I called Today, Oct 1, and was told nothing was done yet. After I told them their service was inadequate and that I intend to escalate, upon returning home from work, I found 2 calls from the scheduler for the office that it has been cleared and when would we like to schedule. Not likely.

I am a type one insulin dependent. Diabetic, and have been for over 65 years. Dr.Cabral is professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I am content to wait for him, ashe takes the necessary time to care for each patient.

I have been seeing him for more than 4 years and he is always more than 1 hour and half late for his appointment. He is a good doctor but why can’t his agenda be better managed?
