My insurance company confirmed that it is in network but the lady at the front desk refused even to speak with the agent.

Dr stein was so nice and personable. It’s refreshing to have a doctor reassure you even if the reason you come in ends up being nothing wrong. I would recommend dr stein to anyone looking for a great doctor!
February 27, 2025Emily R.Verified patient
I left my appointment with Dr. Stein feeling more concerned than reassured. Dr. Stein herself—lacked thoroughness and expertise. We only briefly touched on my medical history, and no questions were asked about my current treatment, diet, or lifestyle. The evaluation seemed to rely solely on what I shared verbally, with no tests or deeper exploration into my condition.
I initially sought help for my thinning hair, and Dr. Stein quickly examined my scalp before diagnosing me based solely on its appearance. She asked if my family had a history of hair loss, and while I provided some information, none of my relatives had ever been formally diagnosed. I voiced my concerns, as I’m wary of trusting a diagnosis built purely on a short conversation rather than medical evidence.
As a result, I’m hesitant to follow her advice or take the prescribed medication. Overall, I feel like the appointment was a waste of both my time and money.
