Mark T Bloomstine, MD

I needed surgery on a foot that I could barely walk on without major pain. His first told me he couldn't help me. He said I needed a podiatrist. I showed him my x-ray. He said, now I see what you are talking about. He still didn't think I should be talking with him. He was a surgeon, not a podiatrist. I had difficulty putting my sock back on my foot. I have physical disabilities that are apparent. It was about 3:00pm. He actually said, "Hey Lady, we will need to close by the time you get that sock on." I couldn't believe my ears. He was actually poking fun at my expense. What type of "professional" makes you feel worse walking out the door than walking in. The joke was on me, I actually picked him to consult, I thought he looked kind in his photo. NOT. I did have surgery by a professional foot surgeon in Pittsburgh. I have never been treated so badly by a Physician. Beware.

Rude, not prepared when he entered the room, and condescending

I would rather have a doctor that was running behind and made me wait, then to be treated like you were at a car body shop. He was very condescending, rough, uncaring and does not like questions. I will not go back to that office with any other injuries.
