When I first took my parent to this doctor a year ago, he was professional and very involved in her care. However, this last visit, he was very rude, and rushed us through the appointment. He referred to my parent as “an 83-year-old who wouldn’t live forever,” and never addressed her personally or by name. It is impossible to reach this office by telephone; even the “Receptionist Line” only takes messages, and frequently fails to return calls. While we were in the waiting room, 2 people walked up to the reception desk for information because they couldn’t get through by telephone. The receptionists were very cold and not helpful at all. It was a completely exasperating experience, and my elderly mother deserves better care. This practice needs to reevaluate its priorities.
