Very nice and laid back. He was not rushing into anything, rather trying conservative treatment first.

They said in the app they can take my insurance I got there the waiting time was for more then a hour, after that they told me they can’t accept my insurance and expect to pay out of pocket ????

It was my first time visit to the office. Dr is well experienced and knowledgeable, but don’t like to much questions from the pt.
January 16, 2025Naveed W.Verified patient
This was truly one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a doctor. All of my symptoms and pain were downplayed and it felt as though he was just checking through the boxes to get me in and out of there. I have suffered from chronic back pain for the past four years of my life. At the end of my appointment, as i was crying because of how tired I am of the pain, he said “You seem to be living day to day life fine, it’s just uncomfortable” and told me that he would get me an x ray since “i seemed so bothered”. I can confirm that I am in fact NOT living life day to day just fine. I will never be going back to this doctor and I can’t wait to find one that is actually concerned about my well being.
January 6, 2025Ella H.Verified patient
I had a very unpleasant experience with this doctor and their team. I arrived 30 minutes early for my appointment, only to be told by the receptionist that the doctor had left an hour earlier because there were no more patients. She then called the Manhattan office, which had no record of my appointment.
Shortly after, I received a call from someone claiming the doctor never showed up at the Queens office and, therefore, couldn’t see me. However, I had already been informed by the Queens receptionist that the doctor had left for the day. It’s clear that someone mishandled the situation, and I was even lied to.
When I contacted ZocDoc, they confirmed that the office manages its own ZocDoc account, and my appointment was indeed booked and marked as confirmed almost immediately.
This office’s lack of professionalism and dishonesty is unacceptable. They wasted my time, gas, and, most importantly, left me in severe pain without care. I do not recommend this office to anyone.
