Agreed I should stay overnight for endoscopy, he spoke with Dresnick - I saw him speak to him and even confirmed with a phone call at the end of his shift that Dresnick would do the scope. I was instructed to not eat or drink in the ER all night, all morning. Dresnik sent his PA, Michelle, the next morning who was cold and rude to tell me he was not doing the scope, it wasn't an emergency. His PA said he didn't even know who I was. Complete lie!!!! Then she stepped out to speak to with a nurse about Botox and a new boyfriend. I chose my health over my job when I decided to stay overnight in the ER (cancel important meetings at work) just to have my time wasted by Dresnik and his schedule.

I cannot recommend this office. My experience left me seriously concerned about its organization,…read moreprofessionalism, and, most importantly, patient safety. I arrived at 10:10 for a 10:15 endoscopy, as scheduled by the doctor's Brookhaven office. After checking in, I was asked to schedule my follow-up for the RESULTS--at the end of September, even though it was early August. The front desk appeared disorganized, with paperwork piled up, and staff openly discussed another patient's medical status, procedures, and tests in front of us. I found this lack of discretion troubling. After waiting thirty minutes, I asked when I might be seen. I was told that my procedure was scheduled on their books for 11:30. Having an hour-long drive back to Sag Harbor in summer traffic, I decided to leave. Minutes after my husband and I left, I received a text asking me to come back--they would take me immediately. In the meantime, I had taken a few sips of tea after fasting all morning. When I told Dr. Singh, he asked whether I'd had a sip or a cup. When I said closer to a sip, he told me I would be fine to proceed. He seemed rushed, tense, and distracted rather than reassuring. Fortunately, I also told the anesthesiologist, clarifying that it might have been more of a gulp. He advised me not to have the endoscopy because of the risk of aspirating fluid into my lungs--a potentially serious complication. Also, based on what I observed, I wasn't confident that this facility had the staffing or resources I would want available in an emergency. This was especially concerning because Dr. Singh had just told me it was fine to proceed. My husband and I independently had the same impression: the emphasis seemed to be on moving patients through rather than attentive patient care. Final word: I did not feel safe or confident in this environment and will seek a new doctor.
