TERRIBLE DOCTOR. REFUSES TO EXPLAIN THINGS. YOU CAN NOT GIVE GOOD PATIENT CARE WHEN YOU SEE 25-30 PATIENTS A DAY. EVERY APPOINTMENT I HAD HE WOULD ASK IF I WAS ON A MEDICATION.. HE WAS THE ONE WHO PRESCRIBED IT!!!!

Just changed doctors! over the last year I have waited an average of 40 minutes each appointment to see the doctor. It is Very easy to make an appointment but once you arrive for your scheduled appointment time, you get stuck sitting in the waiting room and even worse is when people get brought in before you who walked in after you! And forget it if a pharmaceutical rep walks in, you are stuck waiting even longer. Bottom line, this office cannot handle their current patient base so I Recommend you find another doctor.

Dr.Effendi's bedside manner takes some getting used to but once you get it...you get it. He's thorough and explains what the issue is once he know it. He's fast but again...thorough. I've been a patient of his for 2 years now and wouldn't think of changing doctors.
