Dr. Howard Stephen Schecter, MD

Seems hostile and impatient.Tries to appear gracious during first visit , but friendliness and bedside manner no longer apparent after initial consult.

I would never recommend this doctor or his staff. The staff treats new clients like they are a bother. A few of the girls couldn't be troubled to assist me and one yelled at me when my primary care doctor failed to fax over some documents. (BTW - my doctor had faxed them twice - she showed me the fax confirmations.) Clearly Dr. Schecter's employees could not be bothered to assist a patient or offer respectful service. The doctor offered the same variety of service as his staff stating he was more interested in getting home to a basketball game. After his staff made me wait 35 mins, the doctor accused me of being late and ill prepared. His tone and attitude was rude and insulting. He did not have my file or any documentation and was completely unprepared for my visit - in fact, I don't even think he knew why I was there even though this information had been sent to his office numerous times. For a person who claims to be a "specialist" in his field, he would certainly benefit from some… training in common decency and bedside manner. This doctor and his staff failed in all aspects of medical service. If you happen to go see Dr. Schecter, and you happen to receive horrible service from his front desk staff, just remember that the staff is a reflection of the service you will receive from the doctor. Poor staff = poor doctor.
