Dr. Elias Christidis, MD

All he had to do is say sorry and fix the problem, but it was too much to ask.

best doctor ive ever had

A very caring, compassionate, knowledgeable doctor. I miss him.

Stay away, he is horrible. Does not return calls. Can not handle multiple illnesses, just says your to young to have all this going on. Does not follow up with things you are having trouble with.

He and his office lie a lot. It's like utter chaos. Everything was messed up and they blame you for it all. Saw him about 4 times and he missed the skin cancer on the center of my forehead, then he claims he only saw me twice and the cancer was in my temple area. Blamed me for having the complete wrong time in my glucose meter as his print out showed only middle of the night readings, when I checked it it was only 4 minutes off and all my readings were in the day time. Once he claimed my A1C had go better since the last visit, even tho I knew it had really got worse. I also checked my bloodwork on the internet to find I had other issues that he never noticed or never addressed to me. Didn't offer me a flu shot and when I later asked, they claimed I was offered one and that I refused it. Asked for my 8mm diabetic needle prescription to be refilled, and they instead got me 5mm needles, when I called to point-out the error they claimed there was NO difference between 5mm and 8mm. For 6… months they could not get me the correct needle prescription no matter how many times I called or went to their office in person to complain that the 5mm needles were not working and blood and insulin were just pouring back out of me and it hurt and left a knot in my skin. They caused many other issues with my prescription, every month there was issues. His profile on his employers website Unity Health states he is Certified by ABIM, yet I checked the ABIM site and it say he is NOT Certified, I also checked his profile on the NYS website and it says his ABIM Certification expired over 2 YEARS ago. He and his staff make an endless number of mistakes and never says sorry or try to fix anything, he and his staff just blame you and then ignore you. And his head nurse believe it or not has purple hair.

I had symptoms and family history of cancer. He totally missed dx me and as a result of his oversight and Greek like attitude, he said go drink some wine and enjoy life. Well the next year I went back in but this time I saw the PA who said where is your blood work. Well this JA zzz doc gave me a UA in the office and said all was fine. I ended up with stage 4 cancer and I was under 50 yrs old. If you notice there are over 250 internal med docs to go see and I encourage you to run from this guy. He should be working with horses not humans, then again I wouldn't want to do this to the horse. He does not even deserve a star, maybe a fist in the kisser.

He could care less about you unless you are Greek. He treats his Nurses and Nurse practitionier poorly. I have seen it twice in the office and overheard the office manage talking about her ( I have known her for years but she has changed) I am planning on leaving the office but may have a job change soon and holding off. The NP is awesome She really cares about me and my family.

Dr Christidis listens but doesn't "hear" what his patient is saying. I'm not one who needs doctor care often so when I was dealing with something stopping me from eating solid food for almost 2 months, Dr Christidis thought that either I had something that was going around and would pass, or maybe I had a subconscious want to lose weight. After 3 appts, I asked to see a specialist and found I had an ulcer. He's a nice person but after he took over my original Dr's practice, I never felt he really understood what I would tell him at our appts. I've since changed doctors.
