Uncaring and rushed

ORIGINAL POST

She's Earned Every Terrible Review

By far, one of the worst interactions with a doctor I’ve ever experienced in NYC. Not only was she unapologetically late, but uncaring and rushed (not to mention, as rude as they come). I made the “mistake” of asking some skincare questions and one of her multiple condescending responses included, "I'm a dermatologist, not an esthetician." When I briefly addressed my common eczema, she matter-of-factly told me (rather than asking), that she was taking my blood because it could also be lupus. I then asked if the blood work was covered by insurance. Her response was simply to ignore me (can't make this up) while telling me she was writing two topical prescriptions. No mention of the blood work or the importance of said blood work again. When I attempted to ask a question about the prescriptions, she had one foot out the door, said to come back in a month, and left. Mind you, the entire appt including my exam and attempts at engaging re: my health was under 7 minutes. With every remark, she treated me like I wasn't an educated human being, but rather an inconvenience. When I left, I told the front desk (no complaints about them) that I would NEVER return based on how poorly I was treated. Note, I had an appt with her a few years back and it felt similar but I chalked it up to her maybe having a bad day at the time. That was not the case. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. She should be embarrassed of herself. Avoid this office at all costs.
