Dr. Sanford Howard Sklar, MD

6 months later even before retirement hard to physician orders from visit to supply companies for prescription refills etc. Just awful

Giving one star because I have to give at least that but, truth be told, that is way too much for this operation. My experience with Dr. Sklar, and his entire staff, was, easily, the worst I’ve ever had - from both a medical and a customer service standpoint. Following my home sleep study, I went in for my follow up appointment and was not seen until 75 minutes after my scheduled time. His explanation was that he was seeing a lot of patients that morning but I saw him walking into the office from the window in my examining room. When asked about what I’d seen, he backtracked and tried to cover his deceit, wat which point he told me of the miracles of the CPAP machine and how it was going to change my life. Here we are 6 weeks later and his tales are still that of fantasy rather than reality as there has been no effort to move forward with his prescribed treatment. It’s not for lack of trying. I called 10 days after the appointment and was told the doctor had not… “submitted my notes” to get the ball rolling on my prescription. The following week, I called twice. Once I was told there was no way that I could speak with Dr. Sklar because the staff member I was speaking with didn’t even have the opportunity to speak with him. The next time, I was rudely handled by a staff member who told me “the doctor has a lot of patients and that my case wasn’t anything special”. Upon being insulted like that, I asked to speak to an office manager and was transferred directly to what seemed to be a generic email box where I left a voicemail that was, likely, never heard. The following week, I spoke to someone who said they’d push my case through right away, that they were so sorry for my delay and that I could expect to hear from the home health care company at the beginning of the following week to get fitted for my mask. I never heard from anyone so I decided to call the home health care company whom I was assured would be in touch. Upon speaking to them, I was told that they had no record of me. Yet again, deceived by Dr. Sklar’s office. When I called to get to the bottom of it, they “apologized” as they were, literally, laughing at me. Finally, this week, I received a call from Dr. Sklar’s office. I answered in anticipation that this was finally something I wouldn’t have to worry about any longer. But wrong again – they were calling to confirm my insurance for the follow up appointment to see how the treatment was working. I immediately cancelled. For a doctor that specializes in sleep studies, it certainly seems like he’s asleep at the wheel and that’s not the type of person I want handling any facet of my health.

I found the staff rude. I was sent for the tests at a place that was not more than a storage area by day. there was so much dust from the stacked boxes and various other items that I could not sleep. The dust made it difficult for me to breath.

The Dr. is great, however I've had problems with getting the medical assistant to follow up and communicate issues regarding prescription refills. If it happens again I will consider going to another clinic

The doctor seems to be good however his office mishandles presciption refills on a regular basis. I will be looking for a new sleep doctor due to the multiple problems in this area.

Dr. Sklar is very caring & spends more time with his patients than other doctors normally do. I highly recommend him.
