Factor Andrew, MD

I’ve been a patient with Dr. Factor for more than 20 years, and he is one of the best physicians I have ever had. And I’m very particular about choosing providers.
Like most doctors, he occasionally runs late — either because of an emergency –or because he takes some extra time with his patients. Whenever I’ve gotten sick, he saw me right away. When I was diagnosed with cancer, Dr Factor stayed in the loop and helped me even though other providers were in charge of the cancer care. So, even if he runs late sometimes — it is worth the wait.
Many of his staff have been with him for years. That says a lot. He treats his patients with dignity and respect, and as a whole person, rather than a condition. He gets to know you. Everyone I have ever talked with in his waiting room loves him and the care they receive from him and his staff.
He listens. He thinks. He puts together the big picture for you based on all if your health concerns. If he doesn’t know something, he researches it and meets with other providers to be able to give his patient the best care possible. He discusses options rather than telling the patient what to do.
In short — Dr. Factor and staff ROCK!

I’ve only seen Dr. Factor a few times, and will not be returning. Each time, I’ve had to wait at least 20 min past my appt time to be called, which is not acceptable to me. I know, I know, all doctors have tight schedules, but I’m not about to direct my insurance money towards them.
Nice enough guy, the Nurse Practicioner was a sweetheart, and the front desk staff was so-​so, but if you value your time… stay away.
So, anyone have a recommendation for a doc in staff who keeps to a schedule?
