I thought You're the Dr.. but he made me put my finger on my face and he injected wherever I pointed!! He said I should not come back to him. I Told him it wasn't personal why was HE getting so upset. If you don't let him talk you into doing more than you think you should have, I think he is really good but if he gets going on you and you don't stop him, he goes to town.. Be careful cause if you don't like it, YOU will get yelled at too!

Wow! Just, wow!…read more Maybe over my lifetime I've just had bad luck with doctors, but Dr Berk shines above the rest. Firstly, I went in and was actually listened to rather than having the Dr wait for me to stop talking. He never interrupted me and let me interrupt him, when I did so accidentally. I regularly feel Dr's don't listen to me. Sure, their training is in medicine and they are the experts, but I am certainly the expert at what I am experiencing. If I feel regularly shut down as a man, I can only imagine how women are made to feel with most doctors. So this first off was an excellent sign. Secondly, he was friendly, upbeat and polite. That's not necessary but a nice touch. On to the checkup. He was methodical. He told me exactly what he was doing. When I told him I thought my BP was a little high on his machine, rather than ignoring me he did a second check to ensure it was correct. He was knowledgeable about my ailments, my medications and I didn't get the feeling he was just trying to rush me out the door to increase his turnover cash. This guy is aces in my books and I changed my primary care physician to him today. I'm angry I didn't find a doctor like him sooner. I've only seen him once and his businessman paraphernalia is a little disconcerting. I like money too but it makes me uneasy. I had to sign a form saying I am responsible for the full final cost. Most doctors I've seen will charge a high amount for the insurance and "forgive" the rest. Gotta say that makes me uneasy as well. We'll see how it goes going forward in terms of how badly it hits my wallet and I will update.

But I'm getting to that stage of life where it's time to settle down so I started my search for a long-term doctor. Quite a few of my coworkers seemed happy with Dr. Pentecostes as their PCP so I decided to give her a call. Part of the Weill-Cornell hospital group, Dr. Pentecostes' office is on the 11th floor. The building itself is somewhat dingy but the medical space itself is awash with light, clean lines, and a reassuring sterility. Checking in is a painlessly efficient process and the wait shouldn't be too long, but there is complimentary guest wifi available to keep you entertained for any dallying stays. Dr. Pentecostes is one of the best listeners in the profession. She takes the time to hear you out regarding pain, problems, and medical history. She is also one of the only doctors I've met who is unwilling to throw drugs at a symptoms, preferring instead to try and uncover root issues. My appointments with her have never felt rushed, though she is as efficient as she is caring and honors punctual patients with her undivided time. During my first visit, the front desk failed to let me know that I should arrive 15 minutes earlier to take care of initial paperwork so I ended up having to forego my appointment time and waiting an additional forty minutes to get seen. When she heard about the miscommunication, Dr. Pentecostes was dismayed and promised she'd speak to the folks at the front desk. I thought nothing of it afterwards, but during my next visit about a month later, she asked me if it was a quicker check-in than last time. In fact, it had been (I don't know if it could have been any faster - they were ushering me into the room while I was still handing over the copay), but I was pleasantly surprised that she so acutely remembered the specifics of my last visit. In these and many other ways, Dr. Pentecostes shows a rare mixture of care and professionalism that has long brought my doctor-hopping search to an end. Highly recommended.

During a discussion about a medication that I've been taking for over two years, I felt that she questioned my knowledge about the medication and used language that was extremely inappropriate and uncomfortable coming from a physician in a medical setting. Some of the terminology she used was also not medically or anatomically accurate. I expected a much more professional and respectful approach. It was particularly disappointing given my otherwise positive experiences with this practice over the years. I hope the practice takes feedback like this seriously and considers how physicians communicate with patients about sensitive topics.

Dr. Steinmetz is just a caring, understanding, well-mannered, humble, and gracious person. I have to say person, because he has to be such a person first to be a doctor with those qualities. Not to be ignored is his staff. His staff is just as courteous and understanding. I read reviews putting them down - but I beg to say, the person writing such a review, doesn't quite have an understanding of what to expect from an office staff in such a delicate yet fast-moving environment, attending to phones, patients, and any requests of the doctor...

The third time the office was closed for the day so I left a message with the person answering the phone after hours for the receptionist to call me back so that I could make an appointment with the doctor. The receptionist called me two days later and was frustrated, saying that I was "giving them a bad name" by calling after hours to complain that no one ever called me back on the day I called in 3 times. The receptionist was so set on insisting that I had never called in on monday that after 5 minutes of going back and forth, with no resolution to this silly argument, I decided that if my first impression of this office is so argumentative and rude, i might as well look elsewhere for a doctor that hires nice people.
