I had a Dr referral for lipedema. Dr. Fertel was cold and dismissive. He didn't even examine my legs. He told me I needed bariatric surgery (which I do). I asked what I could do in the meantime since that is a very long process. He told me " you can have therapy when you are a normal size. "

EVERY APPOINTMENT MEANT AN HOUR PLUS WAIT YET THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY IF YOU ARE LATE YOU NEED TO RESCHEDULE. HE DOESNT TAKE MEDICAL SPENDING CREDIT CARD, EVEN WHEN YOU ARE BILLED AND TRY TO PAY IT THAT WAY. WHEN I ASKED FOR A RECEIPT THEY WROTE PAID 25 ON A PIECE OF TABLET PAPER AND DIDNT WRITE TO WHO OR FROM WHO OR ANY OF THE DOCTOR INFO ON IT UNTIL I INSISTED ON SOMETHING THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE ACCEPTED BY THE MEDICAL SPENDING TEAM TO GET MY MONEY BACK. HORRIBLE BEDSIDE MANNER TO FAMILY OF THE PATIENTS.

Tell me how you would feel when a surgeon takes out your stitches and throws the instruments in the sink and takes them back out of the sink to remove more stitches he didn't even see!!!

Dr Fertel is a great doctor! I was 17 when I discovered a lump in my chest area. He scheduled and performed the surgery quickly. Being a young male, I was really worried about a scar, but you can't even tell that I had surgery! I would recommend Dr Fertel to anyone.
