Once he was done I tried asking him about a little mark I have on my leg he didnt looked at it and told me I was in for a phisical. Second I got a bill from my insurance for $78 for some test they did. I'm a healthy person and obviously they knew I was doing my physical since the doctor was very mean once I tried asking him something else. Not sure why they send test that are not included on the biannual check. That would not have bother me so much if I would had gotten the results but I never got a follow up from them on how to check my results. I tried calling them to get them but so far they havent send them to me.

But after a couple days of getting worse I call back to speak with someone. The one star review and reason you should see a regular doctor is that after repeated calls to a national call center (you can't reach the office directly) to try and get the doctor to call me be (their message asked me to call back with any issues) I repeatedly never heard back from anyone. 3 times i requested a call-back and nothing after 5 DAYS. Awful customer service and different info each time I spoke to the national call person. Will never use this place again. Find a real doctor office.

**BEWARE!!! DO NOT SEE THIS DOCTOR IF IT'S FOR WORKER'S COMPENSATION!!!**…read more Dr. Shamash is the worst doctor my mom has ever encountered! I went with her to one of her appointments to understand why she didn't like him. I saw firsthand his complete lack of bedside manner. He was unprofessional, talked over her, didn't listen to her complaints about ongoing pain and discomfort, and dismissed her concerns altogether. My mom had her last appointment with him today, and she found it completely HORRIBLE. She is still experiencing pain in her entire arm from a fall that occurred at the end of January while at work. All this doctor did was prescribe physical therapy and provide a subpar letter stating "light duty," even though there isn't such work available at her job. Dr. Shamash refused to conduct any follow-up X-rays or MRIs to investigate potential injuries to her shoulder beyond the fracture in her elbow. My mom is in her 60s; she is not in her 20s or 40s, where healing might occur within a few weeks. Something is wrong if her hand continues to swell, and her arm remains painful even after three months! She described him as rude, stating that he told her there was nothing more he could do for her and suggested she find another job. IS HE SERIOUS? She even mentioned that he sarcastically asked her if he should prescribe therapy five days a week. How this doctor has high ratings is beyond me. It must be from his colleagues and friends.

Dr Liu took all my pain away and gave me back my lifting abilities all while treating me like an actual person, not like a dollar sign as i had been in Erie. he explained the surgery completely, and the team set up everything from my hotel as well as travel to and from the hotel to surgery center. i have often spoke with folks debating on getting surgery done and hands down the most amazing place i've had work done. and because of that, i went to them again last year for detrimental cervical spine issues. In early 2025 was told my spinal column c5-c3 was unstable and in x-rays you could see it tipping off to the left. the pain i endured was so bad, i often thought about just ending existence. my pain was as if someone put red hot coals under my skin and into my muscles from my skull down to my lower lt region and across my entire back and into my shoulder and down both arms...and the pain was 24/7 with zero relief for months. Dr. Bitan preformed a double discectomy with the insertion of 2 cadaver bones and a mesh around c3-5. I INSTANTLY had relief of all that pain. recovery went well as i was back to doing the bulk of my normal life within a couple days and as the pain subsided from the surgery (he really had to move things around as i have a large, muscular neck) i've been accomplishing more and more of my life again (this spring i will go back to cutting firewood) and i've even picked up a few NEW hobbies in life.... Dr. Bitan and the whole team of Atlantic Spine Center ( his whole surgical team as well as office staff -Love you to death Lisa- truly treated me with compassion, understanding (in my darkest hours of pain i was not a pleasant human) and overall REALLY gave me the feeling they cared about my health. they moved mountains for me and i went from putting together end-of-life plans to now living again. i was not sure i would make it to my 50th bday in the end of january, but Dr. Bitan and the team all DID make it happen and now i'm finding more happiness at 50 than i did the last couple yrs of life (turned out this issue had been going on for a couple yrs only on a smaller scale and had built up to life threatening after an incident). i've been sending everyone i talk with through my business (we own a meadery in Erie pa and are on tons of events as well as folks coming to the bar) to Atlantic Spine Center so they can truly find respite and a life again. sorry if i rambled, i'm just THAT happy and excited to have this pain gone AND be able to do my old life PLUS more again. thank you and much love to Dr. Bitan, Lisa and the whole team of Atlantic Spinal Center!!!!!!

They then say they have been calling me to verify something for weeks, but I have no calls, no messages. I then spoke with Kathy, the office manager, and she was nothing but rude, condescending, dismissive and had an excuse for every short coming on the offices behalf.

I think Dr. Maclaren is an amazing doctor who has been able to diagnose multiple concerns regarding…read moremy health that others could not, and since I have seen him I can honestly say I'm doing so much better. My mother has also been seeing him as well as my aunt and we are all very pleased with his level of care and concern for us individually and more personally rather than like a chart number. I have read some of the other reviews in particular the negative ones, let me say that every office can have some billing confusion and misunderstandings however I can say I never experienced such a problem. I have never experienced any staff there when I did need to question something that any of the staff has been uncooperative, dismissive, or rude but rather concerned and helpful in every way so please don't let all negative comments here or otherwise determine your decisions in seeing an amazing doctor based on few negative reviews when there are so many more positive ones but rather go see for yourself and make your own determination this doctor is a far travel for me but every step of the way he is worth it all a million times over and I will continue to see him in order to continue in my care.

This doctor's office erroneously charged me $325. I saw this charge in January and hadn't been to…read morethe doctor's office since about November. When I called them to find out what this charge was about, they had no idea what the charge was for (which unprofessional in itself). After they talked to insurance (which took another few weeks), they admitted that they wrongly charged me and would provide me with a check in two weeks when they got the money back from the insurance company. I tried calling them over 10 times to find out the status of my reimbursement, left countless messages and still no one was able to put me on the phone with the billing manager I was speaking to (named Michelle). I was hung up on by another administrator, called back and left a message for Dr. MacLaren himself, who didn't call me back either. Finally, fed up with this treatment, I decided to dispute this charge. They responded back to the claim lying that I authorized the charge. Be careful when dealing with this medical office! I am definitely wary of giving my card number in situations like this in the future.
