STAYAWAY! SOMEOFTHEWORST medical experience in my adult life. First I waited for over 90 minutes, and probably would have waited more if I didn’t constantly come up to the front desk and eventually stormed out of the office, and they had to convince me to go back in. The front desk staff is ineffectual, and not caring and downright condescending. I was told(after 1 hour wait) that everyone is waiting, so I should not complain and understand that the doctor is busy. Really?! Bedside manners — it made me think I am back in the USSR in the 80s, and additionally the doctor had the audacity to tell me it’s ok to wait when he is saving lives, belittling my profession and aggrandizing his. The doctor and his medical assistant are rude in whatever language you speak with them. During my visit we spoke in Russian and both he and his assistant referred to me rather unprofessionally and much too informal for a doctor/patient exchange.“ The doctor performed the whole«inspection», like I was a piece of machinery, then ordered(not consulted, suggested or informed), ordered, a biopsy of two sites, including one on my face and without waiting much left me with 2 penny size biopsy sites, one on my head another on my back. As I found out later, normally a doctor would suggest a biopsy, give you time to think, make decision and maybe even refer you to go to a plastic surgeon or someone with good skills to perform skin removal on the face! I was basically pressured into biopsy without really giving me a choice or info. With few prescriptions, 2 minutes later, I was done. Whole thing, less than 10 minutes. No write up, nothing. Prescriptions, direction to go to a local pharmacy(probably getting nice referral agreement) and a follow up appointment in 3 weeks. All that and a ½″ chunk of the skin on my face and back missing. Stay away, and stand your ground if you happen to be in the office of a «life saver» like this hack.
