Awful. Rude man working at the front desk. Don't bother going, you'll pay an exorbitant bill with your insurance and they won't bother to send your prescriptions to the pharmacy as they say, leaving you to deal with the awful rude answering service that will send you to a 48 hour waiting period prescription line (why would I call now if it could wait all weekend????) Even if someone does call you back, it'll be from a different practice and they'll be rude on your answering machine. Thanks Dr. Michael Scher for being a jerk on my machine I won't recommend you to a soul because you have the social skills of a dying animal. Here I sit, not knowing what exactly type of sick I have because the doctor couldn't be bothered to tell me and shuffled me out the door, and nor do I have the 2 medications prescribed to me. I will not be returning to their office, thanks for nothing.

This is the first time that I have seen Dr. Patharina. The treatment I received was exceptional. She spent time with me, listened to my concerns, gave good advice and was warm and empathic. Also, I was treated with respect. I will recommend her to friends. In addition, in this practice, the nurses are wonderful as are staff members.
