Dr. Elena Shteynfeld, MD

Only does checkups over the phone and refuses for them to last longer than five minutes. Incredibly surface level questions, refusing to touch on legitimate mental health concerns. Will lie to you about prescribing your meds despite what the pharmacy has said or delay prescribing them at all. It?s very clear she only cares about money and not the health or well-being of her patients. She?s tremendously difficult to reach, as she often goes on vacations and fails to appropriately communicate her availability. Holistically an unreliable practitioner who should not have a license. Do not recommend! Save your money and the grief of working with somebody so incompetent and find a practitioner with better reviews and a more impressive background.

Dr Shteynfeldt runs a well-oiled pill mill. Your appointments will be an average of four minutes long.

She cares very little about patient wellbeing and focuses primarily on quick “in and out.” I asked for suggestions on a new med and she switched me, and after later seeing my cardiologist found out it was a bad mix with my heart issues - which I told her about in initial intake. She requires copays in cash which is odd and she doesn’t ask any questions. Looks you up and down, writes a script and takes your money. I had better psychiatric support from online teams. I switched doctors and now actually feel healthy and cared for. Do not visit.

Never have I ever seen a doctor with so little interest in actually treating patients. Every part of her practice revolves around how much patient turnaround she can get in an hour. If it looks like you will need more than 5-7 mins of her time to discuss a med change/adjustment, she looks panicked—and at times will actually remind you how little time she has. I’ve had warmer and more helpful interactions with the clerk in the Fairway express checkout lane.

Thank you so much to Dr.Shteynfeld! She is a very helpful and kind doctor. Loved being her patient, she got me everything I needed.

Professional, knowledgeable, understanding. Made me feel comfortable talking about personal issues.

Terrible doctor, unhelpful, rude. Charged me for a 5 minute (literally 5 minutes!) appointment. Told me to go to the emergency room instead of prescribing me a vital medication because she didn't want to be liable. Horrible person.
