Dr. Seth W Wharton, MD

I saw Dr. Wharton because I became extremely fatigued with weakness and numbness on one side of body. He ordered a brain MRI that came back with the radiologist report showing possible demylenating disease. When I returned I assumed he would order further tests but instead said my MRI looked great. I asked about the report and he seemed surprised that I saw it. He then said he wasn't concerned and felt everything was fine. I asked what else he would suggest looking into. He shrugged his shoulders. I was shocked that a doctor would actually shrug his shoulders at a patient. I later found out he has a reputation of being very dismissive with patients. I'm soon going to another doctor who I know will offer more than a shrug.

This doctor complimented my hands frequently. He wouldn't stop touching and rubbing them. He gave off a really weird vibe. He quickly rushed my appointment. I didn't even have time to ask questions. He prescribed me beta blockers which I refused to take. Beta blockers for a migraine? C'mon! Stay far away from this place as possible!

This doctor wasted my time complimenting my hands, rather than focusing on my issues. He quickly jumped to the gun that I have migraines... Don't waste your time with this doctor.

did absolutely nothing to help me

Wonderfully organized, courteous staff. He really took the time to answer all my questions and concerns. The wait was a little long but definitely worth it. Highly recommended.

The level of disregard for the patient borders on gross negligence here. Much more concerned about taking lunch and filing paperwork than the patients needs. I'm looking for another doctor.

The most unprofessional and least caring PERSON, not just doctor, I've ever come across in a professional medical setting. The staff was rude and disrespectful. A horrible experience.

Such a nice office! When you walk in, you get a nice homey feel. Nicely decorated with courteous and friendly staff! Dr Wharton is a very nice and attentive Dr. I highly recommend him for any neurological need.

This office staff is the rudest, most disrespectful, and confrontational I have ever encountered in my 66 years. I had arrived at 8:50 for a 9:00 appointment and found the door locked and the office dark. I knocked but no one responded. So I sat on the floor outside the office, thinking that perhaps the bad weather had caused them to be delayed. Instead, the door was opened at 9 promptly. When I light-heartedly commented that I thought the snow had caused them to be delayed, the receptionist coldly pointed to the sign on the door that said "Office Hours 9-5." When I said that I always try to be early for a doctor's appointment so as not to keep the doctor waiting, she nastily responded, "When was the last time YOU ran a doctor's office? Dr. Wharton is always late and won't be here until 9:30 so you can take it up with him." I suggested that they might have let me know that when I made the appointment so I wouldn't have rushed. In a confrontational tone she repeated, "Take it… up with him." I said I would. Then they announced that I had a $20 copayment from my previous visit and demanded payment I said that, having 3 insurances, I have never had to pay a copay. She told the other receptionist to print out my invoice and roughly handed it to me. I said I would call GHI and take it up with them. As I turned to take my seat again, she rudely said: "It's only $20." I turned back around and sharply commented: "How dare you speak to me that way? What do you know of my situation?" It was at this point that I was brought in so she could take my blood pressure. I could tell that my agitation level was up so I wasn't surprised when she announced that my pressure was 174 over....I never heard the rest. I picked up my things and stormed out, using (for the first time) a 4-letter profanity. I had gone there because of pains in my head that scared me. I left there with a pressure that was 50 points higher than it should have been. Clearly these women have forgotten that they are dealing with people who are ill and scared. Shame on them. I telephoned Dr. Wharton immediately upon returning home and apprised him of my awful treatment at the hands of his staff. He listened attentively and asked for me to return so he could treat me. However, there was no way I would ever return to that office. I have rated Dr. Wharton well based upon my first visit with him. He deserves a better staff.

Well... I waited over a month to see this man! What a joke. I told him my symptoms, he did a exam and then stated he found nothing wrong with me and told me to leave. Mind you my vision goes white, my face and left side of my body goes numb, and my arm gets weak. Not to mention instant weird head aches. He requested no tests or follow up appointments. I'm no rocket scientist but when my vision dims out white, accompanied with other symptoms stated above, there is definitely somthing not correct, and I only have a high school diploma coming to that conclusion. This man is cold, and could care less if I died! This is based on my first and last impression of him.
