Dr. Karen Alise Wirtshafter, MD

Called numerous times for a prescription refill. Never was returned or called into pharmacy. Pharmacy called twice for this prescription refill. Again, call Never returned. I've had issues with this doctors staff, as have 2 people I've referred to her. They've had nothing but issues with her office staff. A year ago, after telling her and her staff 3 times to make sure they call a prescription to my Mail-in Pharmacy, she called it into the wrong pharmacy. Then when Medicare refused to pay for the script because of their mistake, her response was to pay for it out of MY pocket, because it wasn't that expensive. After a number of phone calls and arguing, she finally agreed to pay for HER Mistake ! I've brought this up to Dr. Wirtshafter about her office staff and the response she gives is that she backs her office staff 100%. Then there's the issue of her office staff Changing your Appointment times without your knowledge or correspondence of Any kind. I've showed up for an appointment… only to find her office staff telling you that your appointment was changed to a later time. When I brought this up to Dr Wirtshafter, her response is that her office staff can't book 2 appointments at the same time, My response to her was that, her office staff gave me the appointment times, I didn't request the time, so how does that make sense ? Well, Dr Wirtshafter stuck to her answer as her response. This is the Only doctor I've ever had issues with in my lifeand as I read her reviews, I'm not alone ! If I need Mickey Mouse medicine, I'll watch a cartoon ! I've been a long time patient for many years. She used to be good at one time, however now, I wouldn't go to her for a bandage and this is the same feeling from 2 patients so far that I've referred to her years ago ! !

Great doctor

Very good

I came out understanding my condition

Exceptional

She gave her great assessment of my child situation, which put me at ease

The treatment was fine, but the wait was really ridiculous. Being dismissive of the importance of your patient’s time would make me not return. The office was not crowded. This appointment should not have spanned two hours.

The doctor was quick to diagnose my issue and had ready solutions.

Warm and wonderful doctor. She is a genius

Very good!
