    Dr. Merkow's office assistant was absolutely arrogant, rude, and unsupportive.

I went with her and very clearly stated all of the issues in front of both my Mom and Donna S. Donna S suggested that her other doctors consider prescribing Donepezil - for memory issues and an amyloid blood test. However, when she went to Sherille Sevilla and Maridez Jenkins she does not remember all that was discussed and agreed. She tells them all that she was tired when she did the 3 hour assessment and it was not valid. I don't know why the doctors don't coordinate more and understand the report and all the notes. It is very clear from both the assessment and my statements to them that she has severe short term memory issues. The fact that instead of using the assessment and my very specific details they listen to her when she says that she is fine (because she does not remember anything) is just ridiculous. My understanding is that many of the prescriptions for memory only stop the progress. This means taking them sooner is better. This is not the first signs of memory issues for her at all. This has been ongoing and I finally had hope that doctors would help her and start addressing the issues. But they COMPLETELY FAILED us. Now I don't know what to do. She thinks everything is fine and it is truly terrible and sad. She was a college professor and incredibly smart. And her decline is awful - but made SO MUCH WORSE by doctors who do not coordinate and do not listen.

When it was still DVNMG, I was referred to an amazing MD, Dr. Brad Volpi, who was compassionate, kind, and responsive -- a seasoned MD. Thanks to Dr. Volpi's recommended vitamin supplements, rather than medication, I finally found relief from my daily migraines! Who knew that allopathic medical professionals also advocate for naturopathic remedies?! Since Dr. Volpi's retirement in 2018, I had to select a new MD for a follow up, so I chose Dr. Robert Algar. Dr. Algar is knowledgable, respectful, and thorough. It's impressive how he immediately dictates his notes into a microphone during the appointment, so that he does not miss any information. The staff are professional, polite, and efficient. They are always great on the phone, during check in, and at check out. I have never felt like I'm just another patient to staff; the treatment has been respectful and personalized. I appreciate that there is a separate door at reception to go into appointments, and a separate door to depart after your appointment, which leads you straight to the elevators. The billing department has also been helpful and quick to resolve billing needs. The building has a large private parking lot with over 200 spaces, including multiple disabled parking spots near the building's front doors. Another plus is a drop off area directly at the front doors for patients who are in wheelchairs or who need to be dropped off by a special service.

    Overall, my experience with my doctor and the front office staff has been positive. However, my…read moreinteractions with the billing and insurance team have been disappointing. I'm not sure who manages that department, but the tone of communication I've experienced has been surprisingly aggressive and, at times, hostile, almost as if the dynamic is reversed and I'm working for them. I've only had a few encounters, but in each one, the staff has been dismissive and unnecessarily harsh. For example, I was told things like, "Your insurance INDEED is expired, so the charges will stay and you NEED to pay," despite the fact that their information was inaccurate. At no point was there any effort to understand or resolve the issue collaboratively, no "How can we help?" or "Let's take a look together." Given that this is a facility that supports individuals with mental health and psychological needs, I would expect a higher standard of empathy and care from all departments, including billing.

I had pretty much given up on having a joyful and productive life--all this change came while having a pleasurable and, at times, euphoric experience. Thank you, Mindful Health Solutions!
