Andrew G. G Kaufman, MD

Dr. Andrew Kaufman is a professional anesthesiologist which comes prepared. His client center repore is kind, empathetic, and problem solver linked with alternatives. Love you Andy!

Yes, sometimes he is short of patience, but he is the smartest doctor around. He TEACHES all the doctors how to perform epidurals, etc. I would not be walking if not for his genius. I have been seeing him for about 15 years. Some visits he is short of patience, but it is not with you, it is because he deals with so much red tape in the hospital system. He fights for all his patience well-being. Do not listen to the negative reviews. The reason its so hard to get into see him is because HE IS THE BEST!

Dr. Kaufman is an outstanding Pain Management MD... highly recommended ...

I felt compelled to write after reading so many negative postings. Met Dr. Kaufman for first time today. I found him focused, directed, well trained and engaging. I think some are confusing intelligence for arrogance. His explanations were clear and logical and treatment plan conservative. I'm glad I decided to meet him and form my own opinion instead of relying only on patient reviews. I suggest you do the same.

Dr. Kaufman is a terrific doctor. He asks in detail of your symptoms and your pain levels. He is very precise in his instructions and explaining things in laymans terms. He is fantastic with making sure the medications are right for you and that they do not effect your body in any damaging way. Very thourough, kind, caring.

When his lovely nurse informed us that Dr. K was "grumpy but a wonderful doctor", we should have left the office immediately. Unfortunately, we spent the better part of an hour listening to his phone conversation with his boss, I guess, wondering if he was "in trouble" All patients in their cubicles were able to hear this. When he finally got to my cubicle he was rude, arrogant, nasty and uninterested in the reports I had brought with me. He may very well "know his stuff" but he was so wired that I would never let him inject me with anything anywhere anytime. A complete wacko!

I was surprised by the lack of empathy for pain shown by Doctor Kaufman, who after all, makes his living by treating pain. In addition to his rudeness, lack of empathy, as a patient there is also the overall atmosphere of dealing with his staff. The wait for an appointment is endless, each appointment may get rescheduled multiple times, and there is always an interminable wait in his office, usually over an hour. Phone calls to staff generally go to voice mail and are rarely returned.

found him very RUDE

Dr.Kaufmann was very dismissive & was condescending. He sent me away with no meds no help..do NOT go there ..

All I have to say is.. glad I don't feel alone. This confirms my feelings. I find it extremely rude to down play MY doctor's guidance, to his. "My dr. N I are the same page. I will follow his plan but II.have to say when I left, I felt the way I used to... b4 meeting . my doctor.
