This was the worst experience I have ever had at a Dr. office. My adult daughter's finger tip was…read morebitten off and shredded by a dog. The finger was wrapped at an emergency facility and a day and a half later we saw Dr. legeyt. The assistant who was to remove the bandage was standoffish and short with us from the start. They wouldn't numb her finger before removing the bandage. My daughter asked why and the assistant said "do you really want the dr to do this because he won't be as gentle as me" and then when my daughter was apprehensive she said "I'm not going to deal with this" and stormed out. Dr legeyt came in and spoke to my daughter like he was admonishing a child with zero compassion and zero respect and zero explanation. We were both shocked by his manner. I almost left right then, but she needed care. She agreed to let the assistant try to remove the bandage. After about 5 or so minutes as my daughter was screaming and writhing in pain, It came to the point where she couldn't continue. The assistant (who was actually being very sweet, compassionate and helpful at this point) left and a horrible woman came storming in who was determined to rip that bandage off no matter how much it hurt. We didn't allow that. So Dr. legeyt came back in with a huge attitude. I politely asked him why they couldn't numb her hand first and he would not look at me or answer. We couldn't let this sadistic maniac work on her hand, so we wrapped it back up ourselves and left.

We first discovered Dr Katz when I was 16 years old and my grandmother visiting from another…read morecountry was at Manchester Memorial Hospital and none of the other doctors was able to figure out why she was sick. Dr. Katz was pulled into the picture and he diagnosed and provided a treatment plan. Given that we didn't have insurance for her, his swift help was most appreciated. My entire family and I became patients right away. I've been a patient for 28 years now. When I'm sick I can call that morning and get a visit that day and if necessary he'll provide any meds to get me back on my feet. The wait time usually isn't too bad...he's gotten better over the years. I find him to be an honest straight shooter which I respect him.

I saw Dr. Polatnick for my chest pain. He was very thorough, hospitable, and listened attentively…read more He told me that I can call anytime if I have any questions. I appreciated his willingness to be helpful. He told me to have an ultrasound. I had the ultrasound at another hospital, and the result was sent to his office. I called the office yesterday and asked about the result of the ultrasound. I was asking to speak with the doctor directly, but I was not able to. A receptionist over the phone stated she talked to the doctor, and the result was "indeterminate." I asked her to explain what that means. She stated, "It means we don't know what the heck is wrong with you." Then I asked what else the doctor found in the result. She stated there is nothing she can say. I was disappointed that she was not willing to help me speak with the doctor directly regarding my test results. I called the hospital today again about some concerns that I had. A receptionist became irritated, and stated "The doctor has nothing to talk to you about that." I asserted the importance of speaking with my doctor. She did not listen. She became more irritated and insisted that the doctor does not need to speak to me. She finally stated she would let the doctor know about my call. However, she was very unhelpful and unwilling to assist me. When I explained to her the importance of this matter, she simply hung up while I was still speaking. I felt mistreated and disrespected by her rude and unprofessional behavior. My hope is the doctor is informed about this inappropriate and unjust behavior of his receptionist(s) and he can take appropriate actions to rectify this. As a patient, I have a right to speak with my doctor.

He's taken good care of me through thick and thin, and I truly feel that in him I have a vigorous health-care advocate. One indication of his skills and reputation is that other physicians go to Dr. Mintell as their family doctor. I only wonder how much longer he'll be practicing; he's in his early 70's now, and despite being very active and apparently in excellent health, everybody has to retire sooner or later.

It took me over 45 minutes to see a doctor for a morning appointment. The waiting room was getting pretty packed by the time I got into a room, too. However, I really like Chris Dillon, a PA there. He is gentle and thorough and takes the time to answer all your questions. I've had to follow-up on some claims not being sent to the correct address, but so far, they have been very responsive.

When I attempted to pre-register online the system told me that the birthdate I entered did not match what they had in their system and would not let me proceed. I called the office and told them about the issue, verifying my birthdate for them. The next day they called and said they had fixed the problem and to try again. I did, but the problem remained. So, the day of my appointment I arrived 25 minutes early to fill in the paperwork. I then proceeded to wait for my 10:30 appointment. At about 11:00 I was taken into an exam room and told the doctor was finishing up with his last patient and would be in shortly. And so I waited some more. After waiting for more than a full hour, I decided that we could no longer wait. I informed the staff we were leaving and asked them for my copay to be returned. At that point, I was told (again) that the doctor was finishing up and could see me soon. No thank you! I understand that "emergencies" can come up during the day's appointments, but I have decided that my time is as important as any doctor's time, and I will not wait for longer than an hour to see anyone. So doctors, fix your scheduling systems, and do what it takes to show your patients that you value them and their time. As an addendum, I was waiting with my husband, who runs his own engineering firm, and if he were to show up over an hour late for his appointments with clients, that would be a complete lack of professionalism. They may have great doctors at The Hand Center, but they are not the only game in town. I now have an appointment with another highly regarded orthopedic practice.
