Doctors are supposed to help us - regular mortal people - right? Not in this case... Now, I never…read moreposted negative reviews, but I've never felt so neglected by a doctor that I just can't help it. Sorry, Mr. Siegel. Thank you for all the physical pain you could have prevented me from. I have severe migraines, they usually last 2-3 days, and leave me pretty much non-functional. In August of 2007 I got a referral to Mr. Siegel, the neurologist from a regular MD. Mr. Siegel saw me and prescribed me Imitrex, which works great, my migraine goes away within hours, or a day at the longest. This medicine is prescription only, and so far is the ONLY medicine that helped me. I was able to enjoy my life much more in the last 2 years. On Tues 5/26 I called my pharmacy for a refill. When they stil did not have it ready on Friday 5/29, I found out that my request for the refill was denied by the doctor. Reason - I need to be seen. Ok... the doctor could have let me know that, does he have to use a pharmacy to relay the message? Fine, I call the doctor's office, and ask them why I need to come in. Why - because it has been over 2 years, they tell me. Well, not quite, I say, still 3 more months till August of 2009. Ok, then it's been over 1.5 years, they tell me, you still need to be seen. Any more words you going to go back on? But anyway, ok, sure. When should I come in? Oh, the doctor is booked today, and is leaving for 2 weeks vacation tomorrow, I can see him when he gets back. All is dandy, but... I have no medicine left. And also, I am going away for 2 months in 2 weeks. I explain that to the lady at the office, and ask her if I can walk in, or wait for after hours visit, or whether he can talk to me on the phone. Does he really need to see me? Nothing changed... At least give me one more refill so I am good until he gets back from his vacation. Or is someone taking care of his patients while the doctor is away? No, not really. I have to wait. She thinks about all this for a moment, and asks to have my pharmacy fax her another refill request. Which I request, and at 4:10 pm they fax it. I call at 4:30 to confirm they received the request, talk to the lady again, and explain the urgency of the situation. She takes all my phone numbers, and says "let me see what I can do". I call again at 4:54 only to find out that the doctor is still with the patient, but even though they close at 5 pm, they will call me no matter what. NO PHONE CALL. At 5:22 I get a call from my pharmacy that refill request is denied again. No promised phone call from the doctor's office, and of course, they are not at the office anymore. Once again, the doctor chose to have have my pharmacy relay the message. And now he's off on his vacation, and I am left to suffer, which could have been easily prevented. For what it's worth... Doctors are supposed to help us live our lives better, take personal care of us, their patients. Isn't that a part of the oath they take? If it's not, then it should be at least in every doctor's moral code. It's just not in this doctor's moral code.

Strictly as a physician, he is very good. He knows his specialty well and does find an accurate…read morediagnosis. He also knows his treatment plans well. The down side is that he does not have much of a personality and is very arrogant. At first he starts out kind, but I noticed as time progresses he becomes quite rude and seems almost bothered to have to do the follow-up appointments. Which you would think that he shouldn't be since he is the one who tells you to come back in a certain time line! I do appreciate his care and the fact that after 2 previous doctors I had seen, only he found the accurate diagnosis. So you have to weigh out your options if you are thinking of visiting him. As a side note, they charge you if you cancel/re-schedule your appointment under 24 hours notice.

My insurance was charged $550 for the privilege and I was charged my full co-pay. Not only was it frustrating to be charged so much for something that did not need a video visit at all, but it was also incredibly frustrating to simply schedule the first appointment (half a dozen phone calls) and later attempt to reverse the charges (another half a dozen phone calls, none of which have been successful). Between the frustrating administrative and billing departments and the lackluster medical experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Singer.

Three years ago this July, I used Dr. Kahn to perform a prostate biopsy to obtain samples of cancer…read moreto send to Germany for genetic sequencing. The German lab sent very precise protocols for how the samples were to be collected, frozen, stored and shipped. Dr. Kahn and his team failed to meet those protocols, resulting in compromised samples which had to be collected a second time. Apparently he or his office failed to read the protocol specifying liquid nitrogen storage; they used dry ice instead. What the heck, right? Cold is cold. What do those German geneticists know, anyway? It seems they didn't have any liquid nitrogen on hand. But Smitten Ice Cream, down the street, had plenty of it. They use it to make ice cream. Perhaps the good doctor might have gone down and borrowed a liter or two to comply with protocol? In all events, during the second biopsy, while I was in a very compromising position which I will not describe, Dr. Kahn asked, in a tone of evident, palpable scorn, "What do you want sequencing for? Immunotherapy?" Well, yes, actually. The good doctor then offered me his opinion of this silly caprice of sham medicine, all the while snipping prostate samples through a tube inserted in my . . . Well, you get the idea. He hadn't learned about it in medical school in the '70s, so it had to be a load of, um, hooey, I guess. When I recovered from the indignity of the biopsy, I complained to the hospital's medical director about Dr. Kahn's attitude. His failure to comply with protocol cost me three weeks in a situation where time was important. Three years later, I am alive and healthy, despite an original, rather grim, diagnosis. Cancer immunotherapy is a recognized medical discipline that has saved many lives and is becoming part of the new standard of care. (See, Science Magazine, 23 March, 2018, Special Edition, Cancer Immunotherapy", https://tinyurl.com/y75bnxun (NYTimes)) And Dr. Kahn is still practicing medicine. Only one of these three things surprises me. If you seek a physician who keeps current on developments in modern medicine, I suggest you find one elsewhere. If all you need is a tube in an orifice, I suggest you find someone with compassion.

I have been a registered nurse for 45 years so I have a great deal of experience with physicians,…read moreboth as a patient and as a rofessional colleague ( I prefer NOT being a patient ). My referral to Dr. Kahn came after a miserable night spent at the CPMC ER, in a good deal of pain, and an overnight stay as an inpatient, thanks to a bout with kidney stones. The CT scan revealed about 8 in each kidney. I have subsequently been followed by Dr. Kahn for about 8 years. I have had two lithotripsies to try to deal with the stones, have had numerous office visits and have had several ER visits as well. I have always found Dr. Kahn and his office staff to be kind, professional and empathic. In an emergency, they will fit you into the schedule. As an RN who has worked in the operating room, I know that, often, procedures and an emergency situation don't go like clockwork and can wreak havoc with an office shedule and waiting patients. If I have to wait for my appointment, I undrstand if things can get backed up. Stones and kidneys are serious business and I'm not talking about income for the physician. Anything that can cause permanent kidney damage, resulting dialysis or the ultimate need for a kidney transplant is not taken lightly. At least, for me, and I am the most critical person I know, about quality of medical care, I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Kahn - and, Dr. Sharlip, who followed me when Dr. Kahn was on vacation.

When the case got really bad from there I was handed over to Dr Verma. First time I met him I was in very bad condition medically and due to that emotionally as well. In our very first meeting he explained me the diagnosis in detail in the best way a Lehman can understand and the next steps with plan As and plan Bs. He was very reassuring that everything will be fine. I had gallstones in pancreas which resulted in pseudo cyst that broke and created major infection in my stomach. Dr Verma conducted a major surgery followed by my 1 months plus hospitalization at Stanford hospital. From having a question mark on my survival and life today I am living perfectly normal life. He did not only save my life with a complicated case of mine but also put me and my family to ease about the whole situation. I very highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Verma for everything.
