Burton A Schlecker, MD

Been going to Dr. Schlecker for years. Mostly saw his assistants. Had surgery in late October. He made the surgery sound like it was simple. Four months later still in the same pain as when I had the surgery. Net of it all his assistants did not handle my catheter correctly and caused damage. At the time of having a catheter in me, I called back multiple types to state I have discomfort, and they kept saying it is normal. Once removed, every week I had to call and track down the doctor to let him know of my issue. Had to make multiple appointments to see him in person, as his office staff in most cases would not get back to me if the doctor prescribed meds. I urged the doctor to go back in to see if something can be seen. I had to push for all this, as there was zero sense of urgency from the Doctor. I even had to push to get an MRI. After two months, and a ton of different meds, the doctor stated he could not help me any longer. Did not give me much help, and I had to do my own… checking. Amazing that any doctor would not look to help solve a problem that his staff caused.

Doctor and staff deserve the excellent rating.

i called was Setting up an appointment after reading all of this bad experiences on the internet and read them to her she hung up on me sounds like she needed a big cucumber in her mouth

Great Doctor. Great Staff

Called office 2 times with emergency. And was assured the dr. Would return call. Called office again and answering service answered. After 1 hour still no return call. Husband on floor in pain. Do not go here. Obviously, there is lack of communication between dr. And staff or they don't care.

After waiting 2 long hour gave me wrong diagnosis, do not recommend

I've been going to Dr. Schlecker for six years or so and have had several surgeries by him. I have full confidence in him and would recommend him to anyone. I'm not crazy about the office experience in Clifton, though. I've never experienced rudeness by the staff as some are saying, but they overbook on a routine basis. Sign in and you'll see someone else with an appointment scheduled five minutes before you and someone else five minutes after. Waits exceding a half hour are not uncommon...be prepared to sit in the doc's office staring at cross sections of urogenital systems for a long time.

Great Dr. , but totally rude staff, especially in the Clifton office. The women at the front desk are totally uncaring and extremely rude! Shame on you Dr. Schlecker for putting up with these kind of employees!

After going to this doctor several times, I am very disappointed. I received NO followup, had to followup to get lab results, saw a different doctor each time, felt no personal warmth or regard from the doctors, and just am really displeased. They kept me waiting when there were clearly no other patients around, and were just there to make money and get me in and out ASAP.

Do not go to this DR. I have been to both the Wayne and Clifton offices. The Clifton office was the worst doctors office experience I have ever dealt with. They are rude and unprofessional especially the office manager Michael, who tries talking down to people because he doesn't know the answers to their questions. They use a cheap and inexpensive laboratory and it takes weeks to receive test results that could be available in 3 days. If you are going for a routine check up then its okay, but if you have a serious issue do not go here because they don't care about their patients. The doctor gives patients infections and then can't figure out what the infections are. Absolutely worst experience I have ever dealt with.
