I was in and out of the emergency room and just not feeling like myself. Everytime I would try to explain what I had been feeling the doctors looked at me like I had two heads. I did not have that experience with Erin, in fact she knew exactly what I was talking about and made me feel heard and not crazy. When she walked in the room she greeted me with a warm and welcoming smile. I cannot explain how comfortable I felt with her. When I left I felt so good because I finally had a plan. I cannot wait to see what the future brings. Thank you Erin for helping me. I'm so glad I chose this office. Yes, it can be expensive but with care like this, it's worth it. Erin spent over an hour with me and answered all of my questions. I'm so thankful that I found her!! Also Victoria the nurse is such a sweetheart!

Beyond his clinical skill, Dr. Buyalos showed genuine compassion and integrity. He supported me with patience and honesty, which helped rebuild my confidence despite my age. During financial difficulty, he even worked to reduce fees so I could continue treatment--something I deeply appreciated. Although I did not achieve the outcome I had hoped for, his guidance--especially our conversations about considering donor eggs--has stayed with me. Looking back, I recognize there were times I struggled to accept that reality, but he remained supportive throughout the entire process. I'm grateful for his care and professionalism, and for the way he treated me as a person, not just a patient.

This review is for the medical practice rather than Dr. Tenenbaum himself…read more I've been a patient of Dr. Tenenbaum (technically one of his physician's assistants...you know the deal) for about 3 years. My medical history is pretty normal, so there isn't much to cover here: go in, get blood work done, get reminded that I have such-and-such value that is slightly above the norm for the population. Rinse, repeat. What drove me away from this practice (other than the 2020 pandemic...) is that Dr. Tenenbaum transitioned his practice to...concierge medicine. This artificially reduces the number of available physicians in the area, ultimately driving up medical costs for patients who do not necessarily need 24/7 support. I cannot ethically support this business practice, despite having the privilege of being able to pay an extra $200/mo for a service that I will likely not benefit significantly from...at least in the short term. I request that physicians reconsider going 100% concierge and consider a hybrid practice model. Allow those who cannot afford concierge medicine the ability to unlock a variety of physicians in the area. Healthcare is challenging enough as it is in this country...please don't add to the problem.

I am currently giving this practice three stars, although I plan to give the doctor and staff…read moreanother opportunity before making a final judgment. My initial experience with Sam, the nurse practitioner, and the physician assistant was very pleasant. They were warm, professional, and made me feel optimistic that I had found a family practice where I could establish long-term care. Unfortunately, my experience changed after my laboratory results became available. A receptionist named Britney called me and immediately began discussing my results without first asking whether I was in a private place or prepared to receive medical information. I was at work and had to interrupt her and ask her to wait while I moved somewhere private. I had assumed she was calling only to schedule a follow-up appointment. I believe staff members discussing medical information should always confirm that the patient is able to speak privately before sharing results. When I returned for my follow-up appointment, there also appeared to be some confusion at the front desk. Although I had confirmed my appointment the previous day, the doctor stated that he had not known I was coming and had taken another patient before me. He apologized, but the delay made me late for work. Once I was called back, the process felt rushed. I was quickly directed onto the scale and then placed in a room with a medical student. I was not asked whether I was comfortable having a student participate in my appointment. The student repeatedly described my hormonal status in a way that did not match what I had previously been told, and our discussion about vitamin D supplementation felt dismissive rather than collaborative. I was also uncomfortable with the student shifting and rocking from side to side in my peripheral vision while the doctor discussed some concerning health information. That made an already stressful conversation more difficult. Later, when the doctor returned and spoke with me privately, the interaction was much more comfortable. He was pleasant, made eye contact, explained things more clearly, and ultimately did a good job addressing my concerns. I wish the receptionist had demonstrated a better understanding of patient privacy, that I had been asked for consent before a medical student joined the appointment, and that the visit had not felt so rushed. Staffing problems, scheduling confusion, and the absence of a manager may explain why the office was having a difficult day, but patients should not have to absorb the consequences. Overall, the doctor handled the appointment well toward the end, and my first visit with the other clinical staff had been positive. I spent considerable time researching family-practice physicians because I hoped to establish ongoing care here. For that reason, I am willing to give the doctor and the office another chance before deciding whether this practice is the right fit for me.
