When my mother was…read morereleased from the hospital after her heart attack, she was unable to get any treatment or support from him--not even a callback. Every time my mother suffered, we had to use Google to try to help her. He abandoned my mother during her entire illness and his indifference could have killed her. My mom has recovered, but the medical providers that treated her for her heart attack need him to prepare paperwork so they can get paid. They have been trying since August and he ignores them. He continues to do nothing and now they are coming after her for payment even though she had insurance--but the insurance won't pay without Dr. Martinez. What in the world.... He should be ashamed.

When I got married we brought my wife over to him from Kaisier which was the best senioro possible. Whenever I have had questions about my health or have had an healthcare issue Doc and Lucy have answered immediately over Follow My Health. Doc's compassion is like none other he listens to us as patients and directs to the highest quality care. When I do go see doc I always look forward to the "knock knock" and see him poke his head around the door and hear him say "hear for a visit" "how can I help". I never feel rushed when talking to him and he is completely empathic to what ever my issue maybe. I you need a good doctor Doctor Fernando Martinez is who you want along with amazing and wonderful Medical Assistant Lucy. Thank you Doc and keep up your amazing work. We love you both and hope you stay safe during the awful pandemic

That moment started a long and painful 3 1/2-year journey filled with countless doctor visits, over seven orthopedic surgeons and several pain management specialists & yet no one truly believed or understood the pain I was in. Everything changed when I met Dr. Iqbal. He was the first doctor who really listened and took my pain seriously. After working with me and understanding what I was going through, he referred me to Dr. Binder for surgery and that referral changed my entire life. Dr. Binder performed a microdiscectomy on my lower back, and within months, I went from being in constant, debilitating pain every single day to being completely healed. His precision, skill, and confidence gave me hope, and his kindness and bedside manner made me feel safe and understood. I am eternally grateful to both Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder, two truly exceptional doctors who not only treated my condition, but helped me reclaim my life after years of pain. If you're struggling and starting to lose hope, please know that the right doctors do exist and for me, that was Dr. Iqbal and Dr. Binder.

If you're looking for a Doctor with a heart I will recommend you to find someone else because this doctor definitely had a PHD but had the worst manners and unprofessional behavior that any doctor can had . So sad that I spent time on his office today !

Considering the number of similar reports here on YELP, I think it best if the practitioners who represent Elevated Health look into this. I AM A PHYSiCIAN ASSOCIATE MYSELF, so please understand and let it be documented here that I will pay for no fraudulent bill, no less from 5 years ago from an insurance company I have not had coverage with in nearly as long. I cannot believe anyone would risk their hard-earned medical license in this way. Besides the fraudulence, there MUST BE a statute of limitations on how far back a claim can be made for medical services that at the time, due to a worldwide pandemic, were supposed to be FREE or FEE FOR SERVICE ON SITE!

I recently changed my Health plan and was cautious in selecting a new family Doctor as the last one…read moredid not work out for me. I read about 30 profiles, reviews ,bio before I chose Dr Schachter and I think I hit the jackpot! I'd like to share my experience so other Yelpers could benefit from his compassionate care. My previous family Dr for 15 years was Dr John Eilbert, he was like family to me, it broke my heart he got ill and had to retire, I went to another Dr and he had no bedside manners, I asked for a sleeper and he said I needed to see a psychiatrist 1st, I thought he was joking but no, he repeated it w somewhat disdain like what was wrong w me, I'm a perfectly normal person and I don't eat junk food, don't even take vitamins, I grow my own fruits and tomato too but I had insomnia since I was 5 but only take a sleeper as needed. I had to change plan to find this wonderful doctor. Dr Schachter loves his job , loves helping people, he treated us like family. His nurse, Jennifer Weir was also very friendly. I had a very bad case of shingles right after getting the booster dose of Covid, Pfizer/Biden will tell you the vax were safe but I suffered this dreadful shingle that lasted 2 months, even now 4 months alter the bumps are still there, it just no longer caused stabbing pain . Dr Schachter gave me an antiviral, pain pills and ointment to relieve my severe itch, I scratched till blood came. I came back from vacation and out of the blue, my right big toe had severe spasm, I could not pull it back, the 2nd toe climbed over the big one, the pain was like electrical current zapping me. I was very concerned, I was very impressed he touched my foot and tried to massage to get a feel of the problem, he told me I didn't need an XRay, there was nothing wrong w me and to continue taking Naprosyn for pain, get a lot of rest, well, it went away in 3 days. I think it was from walking all over Rome, Naples, etc.. up to 7 hours a day. Dr Schachter also treated my husband numerous ailments and his approach was always conservative but hit the target. He spent time discussing every lab value that is off the normal value and gave him advice to correct it. We felt very blessed to have found Dr Schachter, a competent, dedicated and above all caring doctor w excellent bedside manners. I wish I could give him 6 stars!
