No treatment for conditions ranging for internal pains, symptoms of arthritis, risk or aortic rupture, or gout were ever recommended. Thousands of dollars in tests were we sent for. No review , feedback, analysis, or recommendations on any of them were ever received. Don't make the mistake of asking an extra question during a visit. You will be billed fully as if it were another appointment. (which your insurance won't cover as they don't understand two sessions with the same doctor on the same day) After 2 years of trying to get any kind of result, we shifted to someone else.

My fiancée and I switched primary care physicians to Dr. Mainali here, just a couple months ago…read morefollowing a move. We've each been twice so far, and are very pleased. It's a small office, but the receptionist was helpful and friendly. Dr. Mainali himself was very thorough in our first visit, really listening to what we had to say as well as his test results. We felt valued as people, not just as paying customers. He was very helpful when our blood test results came back, in not just telling us the problems, but going through every line of the results (full of acronyms and medical lingo we wouldn't understand on our own) and explaining what everything meant, and why we might care. For many procedures, this small 1-doctor office (he's planning to add a second soon) will have to refer you to others. So, don't expect a hospital-like experience where they can handle everything you could possibly need in the same building. For everything that can be done in-house, though, Everest Healthcare and Dr. Mainali come highly recommended.

But how about when we as patients have to wait around sometimes for hours in doctor's waiting rooms. Very disrespectful, considering the fact that we are the customers who pay their ridiculously high salaries.

While sitting in the waiting room, I overheard the conversation that sealed my decision to leave…read morethis practice. The receptionist was on the phone with a woman who was apparently trying to talk to someone about her abdominal pain. The receptionist was not making things easy. After the discussion ended, she hung up the phone, turned to her coworkers and said (loud enough for everyone in the waiting room to hear): "Abdominal pain? She probably just has her period!" Snickers, all around. Haha, funny. A patient who needs to be seen... but can't. This is a practice with doctors who would likely be competent under other circumstances, but have clearly taken on more patients than they can handle. When I needed an appointment for an urgent medical need, the earliest appointment was the following week. I ended up in the emergency room that night -- and it was not the kind of ER visit where I one sits leisurely reading through back issues of People magazine in the waiting room. The wait for routine physicals is 6-9 months. Sick patients must undergo rigorous phone pre-screening by a nurse to justify an appointment. ("Why yes, I have had copious yellow mucous, a 101-degree fever, and a raging headache for a week now. I have taken twice the legal dose of antihistamines for someone my size. May I please, please see a doctor?") If you are sick and do manage to wrangle an appointment, it's just more of the same from a burnt-out, slightly patronizing medical staff once you're in the office. Don't get me wrong -- Dr. Katcher and Dr. Weinman (the only doctors I've seen here) would probably be great under other circumstances. Just not these. The support staff, as illustrated by the conversation I overheard, is at best impatient and at worst rude and indifferent. It's unpleasant enough being sick. It's even more unpleasant when you have to justify your need for medical treatment to an annoyed receptionist. And it's unacceptable when the doctors in the practice allow such attitudes by their support staff to go unchecked -- or exhibit such behavior themselves.

My first review was more about Dr. Harris himself. In the last year and a half that I have been…read moreseeing Dr. Harris, I have not only become familiar with him as a doctor, but his staff as well. Every person that works for Dr. Harris is a lot like him. They are kind, attentive and caring. Kelly, the receptionist, is always very nice and goes above and beyond in trying to book appointments that fit in my schedule. She even remembers the unique spelling of my last name and what time of day I like my appointments. Tanisha, his nurse, is very knowledgeable and so kind. She always relays my questions to Dr. Harris and has him call me back himself sometimes. I feel like she genuinely cares about me. Clarisel, who I think is a medical assistant, held my hand for all three of the knee injections I had this winter. She stood right there with me and distracted me while the Dr. did his work. I am still impressed by how incredibly sweet she was to take the time out of her busy day to stand with me. I appreciate everything that Dr. Harris' staff does!
