Patient Reviews
May 14, 2025
Unorganized, unprofessional office staff that have poor communications ability, no professionalism and compassion towards patients. My first visit a NEW patient and their family exited from an appointment screaming that they will NEVER COME BACK!" My appointment time as 2 pm, I arrived at 1:45 pm. I wasn't called back to be seen until 3:30. My entire appointment was over 2 hours. MEDICAL ERRORS. A medical assistant/Scribe named Anik Saha, entered the exam room with this statement..."So you have MS." As though I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy (MS). I was MORTIFIED because I do not have MS, nor been diagnosed with it!!!!!! I proceeded to tell him I do not have MS and he had the audacity to debate me, saying "you don't know you have MS?" FINALLY, he looked at the computer screen and recognized that I am not the patient that has MS that was supposed to be placed in the exam room I was in. This incident was EGREGIOUS, HORRIFIC and as I recount it, I find it UNBELIEVABLE and it has left me traumatized. However, Dr. G tried her best to pacify the incident by telling me this person is very bright and completed a 4 year medical program in 3 years and was highly recommended. She said that today was his first day on the job. My response was, "While he might be book smart, what he just did by not following protocol and his engagement with me afterward, and lack of a sincere apology is a liability to her practice. She said, she will "give him a strong reprimand but later said, she may make his first day his last day." Today, May 14th, I had a 9:30 am appointment her office staff messed up the time and had it down for 2:00 pm. My appointment date and time is on a printed sheet with other appointments but the appointment today that they messed up was handwritten by the appointment scheduler. I arrived at 9 am for my 9:30 am appointment. The office staff were rude and in fact lied in my face that they told me the appointment was changed. They casually asked if I could come back at 2pm. I said NO, I am not returning and cancel any other appointments you have for me! Mind you, before this happened I overheard another patient upset because they messed up her appointment too. Needless to say, while Dr. G has good credentials as a Neurologist, the office staff that represents her really is a discredit to her entire practice. They are unprofessional, have attitudes and lie. Furthermore, the medical assistant that made the egregious mistake of telling me I am an MS patient and arguing with me is still employed with her practice. I saw him this morning. This alone diminished my confidence that Dr. G. understands the gravity of the situation that happened nor a person of her word or a physician I can trust with my medical care. Dr. G is notorious for making too many appointments and the standard for this practice appears to be longggggggggggggg patient waits and inadequate treatment by her staff. I now have to start over again to find a competent Neurologists office with a professional staff. The degree of mishandling and errors that exist with this practice is not worth the energy, time nor risk for any patient.
