I was referred to this practice by my primary physician. I…read morehave both Medicare and VA coverage as I am a disabled Veteran. I have foot neuropathy, foot circulation issues and pain also with a nail fungus. Called to make an appointment. The woman answering the phone was a bit unfriendly and crass. She said that they are a foot doctor however they don't take VA coverage. That they don't help to heal any of the conditions that I stated and that I should look into getting a different referral someplace else. honestly, if you can't heal feet or work on any of these common foot conditions I can't fathom what else you would actually do as a Pediatrist. Maybe stubbed toes or stepped on a thumb tack?

Dr. Law really hurt me. For years after dealing with him, I had tremendous depression and…read moresuicidality. When you have a chronic condition, your doctor can become your only hope, and Dr. Law really let me down. I felt hopeless and dejected. He was rude, callous, and disregarded my needs as a patient. He lied to my face, blaming my condition on factors that weren't present and lying about my lab results.

1. Dr. Law: tells an elite athlete suddenly sidelined drastically overnight, that it's just either…read moredepression or a sleeping disorder. I know my body. 12 years of training and competition. I am also female, which according to 2 other women I know who've had similar experiences with Dr. Law, means the number one diagnosis is that it's all in our heads. ALSO : IGNORES THE ONLY ABNORMAL RESULT IN MY BLOOD WORK. He says that he doesn't think it's a problem for thyroid peroxidase antibodies to show up. That means my body is attacking its own thyroid. That's A FACT. He doesn't think the number is high enough to be "clinically significant." But my symptoms aren't clinically significant either. This is because I am female, so they don't really exist. You know what REALLY isn't clinically significant? Dr. Law's opinion. 2. I said I would get a second opinion: HIS EXACT WORDS: I quote: "I would advise you against doctor-shopping." Just let that one sink in for a moment... 3. His office practice billed me for a "Behavioral Health assessment" that was handed to me by the receptionist at check-in- FOR AN OBGYN visit with a nurse practitioner. They just tell you to fill out the forms. I ask later why the charge on my bill for an assessment that I neither requested or recalled receiving. I am told it's an optional form that I don't have to fill out. How about telling me that up front before I am "assessed" and then charged for something I don't need or want? That violates informed consent, by the way. The informed consent I sign agreeing to treatment at this office does NOT include care that I didn't consent to receiving. Informed consent can be revoked at any time. Except in this case, no consent, because I wasn't informed. 4. His practice decided to keep my credit card on file when I KNOW I did not give them permission. At least they deleted it when I told them to. Given that they want to charge me for things that are optional and unnecessary, but not tell me they are optional, that seems a bit shady. 5. Office assistant casually calls out to the other admin, while the "window" is open so everyone in the waiting room within reasonable hearing can hear: "Did that IUD we ordered come in yet?" Thanks a lot. HEY. Ever heard of something called HIPAA? 6. I had almost a 2 hour wait past my initial appointment time for the privilege of being allowed to see the great Dr. Law. 7. Although I am an athlete and muscular, the outdated one-size-fits-all BMI (body mass index calculator) in their electronic system flags me as OBESE. That is hilarious. AND demeaning. I should post a photo. 8. Because I see the NP for OBGYN care, and opted in using the patient portal to text messaging and emails, and phone calls, I am then harassed for two months by robo call, text message, and email to schedule a ROUTINE appointment in the middle of a pandemic. I think not. 9. I unsubscribe to text messages hitting reply on my phone and typing 564STOP which is what the messages say to reply, in order to opt out. I do this four times, receiving confirmation that I have unsubscribed...and continue receiving text messages. This is actually in violation of the FCC TCPA, I believe.Finally I go in through the Patient Portal to try and stop the harassment. Maybe the account settings for the portal do NOT allow unsubscription from text messages by text reply? I have unsubscribed from everything, and if it doesn't stop, a cease-and-desist letter will be my next step. 10. This is the second time I've been harassed for months by this practice for an OB GYN appointment. The only reason for my going to this office for that sort of care is that Kristin Stevens, NP used to work there. She was an AMAZING practitioner. She had to put an end to the harassment once by telling the office manager to stop. She retired, and I thought her replacement was pretty okay. The office practice? NO. 11. As of 7/28/20, one of the super positive reviews here is by Dr. Law's wife. That's a violation of Yelp guidelines, so hopefully that gets flagged and pulled. 12. I like Hannah Cramer, NP, and she provides good care. But given the overall experiences with this practice, I'm letting them go and finding a new OBGYN provider. (Sorry, Hannah, it wasn't your fault!). 13. They demand a copay even when your insurance covers certain visits at 100%, and you remind them of this. They find other ways to charge you, though. If you are a woman who wants REAL CARE, GO TO PAULA FITZSIMMONS AT WOMEN'S HEALTH OF CMA. I'm on the right meds, feeling healthy and strong again. Give this misogynistic jerk a hard pass. Men? Take your chances if you want. But I think if you say you want a second opinion, you're likely to be advised against "doctor shopping," too. IMHO, one-stop shopping in this office is a mistake. I got sick enough eventually that my condition threatened my job and ability to function. Good thing I got REAL treatment. Dr. Law couldn't be bothered.

I was shocked !! When I called to cancel, the receptionist was unfriendly. What' s the point of spending ridiculous amount of money in a dental office who doesn't treat you respectfully and who prioritizes finances over your safety and well being. There are many other oral surgeon in and around Ithaca who can meet your dental needs. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!!!
