Dr. Nina Shari Fallick, MD

the worst bedside manner, uncomfortable- makes you feel small. may be smart, sure-- but not someone you go to problem-solve/ discuss your options with.

Referred by a trusted specialist, I made my first appointment for a routine check up. Her interview was so incredibly strange I didn't want to proceed with the physical. Have never had such a bizarre encounter with a medical professional. Could not get away fast enough.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fallick's for many years (at least 10) and have been highly satisfied with her and her staff, both for routine care and for health problems. She is highly professional, smart and knowledgeable. Takes my problems seriously and provides sound advice and helpful information. I have been happy with the specialists she has referred me to. It can be hard to get an appointment for routine annual appointments, but she has been very accommodating about fitting me in for emergency situations. My brother is a doctor and my standards are pretty high. No complaints.

Dr Fallick has been my primary care doctor for several years. I find her to be cordial and very professional, hard working and very knowledgable. Fortunately, I have not had any major illnesses, but she has skillfully seen me through shingles and some other complaints.

There are so many terrific qualities about Dr Fallick but some areas that are needing attention for better quality of care.I have been a patient for a long time and typically only need annual checkups. Lately I have had some health issues and I have managed to see her the same day or the next. Once in the office I only wait 10 minutes (her staff dont tend to greet with warmth, but they are not rude or dismissive which sadly seems to be the case is most doctors offices in NY). Dr F is thorough and takes symptoms seriously. She clearly thinks deeply and soemtimes outloud which gives you a glimpse of her knowledge. She refers quickly to specialists and for tests as needed.She is comprehensive and follows up with phone calls or emails. Even with routine annual checkups she calls with normal results! That's rare in today's world and it is hugely comforting to know she cares enough to do this. On the flip side, she often moves too fast, talks too fast and sometimes shows anger or worse, a… tone that can come across as belittling. That said, I trust her - she takes the situation seriously, even if the smallest of conditions-her actions speak louder than words. But she can lack a warmth at times that is so essential when chosing this career. She would do herself and her patients a great service if she would slow down and listen more to help her patients find a place of comfort in her very competent hands.

After having been a patient of Dr. Fallick's for more than a decade, I had to quit. She's a fast-talking New Yorker, very no-nonsense. That would be fine. However, whenever I asked her about questions about my condition, she would belittle me, even going so far as to tell me, contemptuously, that I was reading too many women's magazines. Moreover, when I needed a referral for a procedure, she dismissed me; it took another doctor of mine (a great doctor) to speak to her to get me the referral I needed.

I would not recommend Dr. Fallick to anyone! She has a very poor beside manner, and was extremely rude and unprofessional on a follow-up phone call following my annual physical. Instead of providing guidance, she chastised me and created a great deal of stress. My colleague had a similar experience a few weeks after my encounter with Fallick. We both agreed that we would never visit her office again and started searching for a different physician.

Very easy to talk to, tells it like it is and knows her stuff. After being on two particular medications for the better part of 4 years for my high blood pressure, i changed doctors and went to her. she immediately placed me on one specific medication and the pressure is now down to a wonderful number. As i said, the woman knows her stuff

Dr. Fallick is outstanding, in every way. I first went to her with a case of pneumonia that the geniuses at a well known hospital couldn't find nor solve. She had a minute with it, gave me the right prescription, I was well in a few days. I will never give her up. She has a great personality and a clever sense of humor.

Dr. Fallick is a smart doctor; she is quick and gives easy-to-understand explanations and options. She always calls with results of any blood work or tests herself quickly - even when all is normal. If you have any additional questions, she is sure to call you back. There is a potential to feel rushed because she is a quick thinker & talker, but her aim is to get you care efficiently, not to rush you out. She has been my primary care physician for over 6 years now, and will continue to be as long as she accepts my insurance!
