Dr. Jamie Alison Edelstein, MD

Terrible All she did was give me a pill. Charged me $303.00 for this

I thought I was having a heart attack when I went to the Mt Sinai emergency room. A nurse took my blood pressure and pulse and drew blood. I then underwent an ECG. All of this took about 15 to 30 minutes. I then waited for around three hours before seeing Dr Edelstein. She told me I was not in imminent danger of a heart attack and that I could go home. When I asked for more information, she said she could give none and left the room. As I was leaving the hospital, I tried to approach her again and she simply said I should go and see a specialist if I remained concerned (which I did). For this, I and my insurance company were charged over $5,000. (I can see this by looking over the claims summary.) The service I received from the hospital (ie. the nurse who actually administered the tests) was fine but Dr Edelstein was abysmal. Dr Edelstein barely spoke to me and had no bedside manner. If this is how she normally practices, she should be in a lab and nowhere near patients.
