Dr. Andrew Beistel, DO

You build trust in a doctor so it's no easy decision to leave one you've been with at least 30 years. That's what we did and are so glad. Dr. Beistel is knowledgeable on current meds, thinks outside the box, and stays up to date by working PT in a busy emergency room. I ran into a nurse-friend who said she loved working ER with him b/c he always finds things other doctors miss, and she learned something new all the time. His PA, Rachel, is as awesome as he is.

Dr. Beistal and his staff are wonderful.. he listens and talks with you. Even my daughter travels from Cleveland to see him. I feel very lucky to have a doctor and staff so close to home.

Is always in a rush and never follows up. Never seems to have time to actually listen and spend time with each patient. Try's to rush you out every visit, prescribes stuff like albuterol for a neb machine when you don't even have a machine. Had to take daughter to er to get referral for specialist after multiple visits for the same thing and kept getting told the it was the same thing. Er confirmed it clearly wasn't what was being told to me. I have had to take my my kids to the er multiple times because the docter visit wasn't working. He Wants to blow everything off as kids making excuses and adults as addicts. Seems like he has an opinion on people in general rather then treating the symptoms as they should be it's always prescribing more medicine to cover the symptoms. Better with adults then kids for sure, but unless you can do your own research on what to do or don't have questions not a good choice because you will be rushed out. Very nice guy but that isn't enough for my… family so we had to switch.

The worst doctor I have ever been to. He has his hand on the door to leave room as soon as he enters it. He never wants to talk about more than 1 problem at a time. He had my test results on desk for over a month and never read them until I ended up in the hospital. Looking for a new doctor as I write this
