Dr. Martin George Ostro, MD

Easily one of the best doctors I've been too, phenomenal nurse as well. Ib would recommend them to everyone.

I was apprehensive about coming after reading some of the bad reviews, but am glad that I decided to receive care from Dr. Ostro. He spent 2 hours taking my medical history in order to properly diagnose my allergies, rather than simply ordering expensive tests as many doctors do these days. He has a dry sense of humor that perhaps many don’t understand, but he is quite funny and caring.

I've been going to Dr. Ostro's office for a few years now. At first everything was great, he is competent, even though his office uses mostly technology from the 80s, but it got the job done. The doctor himself however has all the latest Apple products and would brag about them, I'll come back to this later. Things started going downhill 3-5 years ago. His schedulers, one of which is his wife, would record your appointments in either a physical calendar or a PC, neither of which are connected to a separate PC used by the other scheduler or the doctor himself. So I would schedule an appointment, show up, and nobody would remember it was scheduled. I've had appointments made on Jewish holidays when the office is closed, or they would call two weeks before my appointment and say "we're sorry, we need to change your appointment because of a conflict." And when you are finally seen, the doctor makes it sound like it's all your fault by making sarcastic comments like "oh look who finally… decided to show up." Yeah, it's your office that's the problem. When I complained to the schedulers, they would say "we're a small office and can't afford expensive software." Have you ever heard of Google calendar? It's free and it syncs! Or how about the doctor being able to afford the latest Apple watch, iPads, etc.? My advice, don't go here.

Been seeing him for my asthma and allergies for I think around ten years. Very knowledgeable and polite.

This was probably the worst experience I've had at a doctor's office. The wait time was ridiculous, there were constant interruptions during my exam. In the middle of the exam the doctor walked out and then came back in saying he had missed an appointment before mine and had to see them before me. I waited for a half an hour in his office. He was rude and would constantly cut me off. Overall I had a terrible experience and will not be returning. I will definitely be seeing another doctor and would encourage anyone to seek another MD in the area besides him.

THINGS I LIKE about this doctor: He is a no-nonsense phenomenal listener who is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and decisive. He explains exactly what was happening in your body - in scientific terms - while reassuring you that relief is possible for a very uncomfortable condition that could be caused by a VERY complicated infection. His communication skills are superb and his compassion genuine. I had read some negative comments about him in other reviews. Hence, I was hesitant to schedule an appointment. However, I decided to evaluate him for myself and was delighted that the negative reviews were overly emotional and inaccurate. This doctor spent 2 1/2 hours asking questions and deciphering what would help ME!! He was direct, and completely focused on MY health - something that I have rarely experienced with other doctor's. I am grateful for the care he afforded me and would highly recommend him to anyone who appreciates a physician who communicates with medical explanations… and solutions. He is direct, articulate and informative in a very precise manner. If you want a doctor who is going to sugar coat information, give you sympathy, hold your hand and pat your shoulder then seek medical advise elsewhere. This doctor is a true professional who is determined to unravel the causes of your health issues rather than wasting time with idle, unproductive chit chat. THINGS I DISLIKE: absolutely nothing. Thank you Doctor Ostro for your professionalism and genuine desire to help me.

I don't understand the reviews that state that Dr. Ostro was rude. I thought that he had a very dry, wry sense of humor --- I thought he was funny. More than that, though, he was thorough and very interested in my care. I was having hives after an anaphylactic reaction and Dr. Ostro approached my issues like a detective with a case. He spent 3 hours with me during my first visit. I ended up having a crash course in allergy and immunology. I would recommend Dr. Ostro without reservation.

He is rude & impatient. Brought me to tears.I went into his office covered in angeodema. I've had Cronic urticaria for years.... (was diagnosed by a better allergist at a later date.)He asked what my hives felt like (???). When I told him they were painful & sometimes left bruises, he told me I was wrong. (!!!)He asked me about possible food triggers. (after YELLING at me when I started to tell him what I thought caused my most recent outbreak!) He asked about tomatoes & asked, "cooked or raw?" I took a moment to think & said "I think both bother me..." mind you, when I saw him, I was covered in hives & very uncomfortable. He didn't like my answer. YELLED, "Just answer the question!!!" (I thought I had.... So I just made up 1 word answers for the rest of this hour long ORDEAL & never ever saw that evil man again.BUT, I did go to someone else within that practice who was wonderful. Dr Ostro was much easier to get an appointment with than my new dr. My new dr was wonderful & saved my… life. I would not waste a second if my time with dr Ostro. No one should ever treat another person the way he treats people. He should be doing research.... He should not interact with people... Ever. He is HORRIBLE.

everyone else in the office was so nice.When I was waiting outside his office, I saw an older woman who looked very upset. I said to her, "did you just see Dr Ostro?" she said, "yes."He yells at his patients... He's rude. Very rude & unprofessional. The man had me in tears. So I never went back. I found someone much nicer & better within the same practice.

Dr. Ostro has been my doctor for almost 19 years and has successfully treated me for severe asthma and allergies. He is always reachable by phone and has saved me from many a hospital visit. His diagnostic and therapeutic skills are unparalleled. Though he's a bit impatient in person, I wouldn't trade him for the world!
