A HORROR. Wish I could give zero stars. He asked me personal questions..who I was going with on vacation! Why? I and my boyfriend are quite unhappy with questioning like this. The WORST part is he OVERPRESCRIBED a medication. When I saw him for first time (AND LAST) I asked for prescription for a cold sore. LUCKILY I knew I was to take for two days. I got the prescription and when home looked at it and HE PRESCRIBED ONE FOR 30 DAYS WITH 5 REFILLS. When I called and demanded an explanation he said, and I quote, “the computer made the error.” He also didn’t tell me of a higher number in a test. I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY MEDICAL RECORDS. WHAT IS HE AFRAID OF??? Beware of this character. Lenox Hill Hospital, where he practices is obviously not happy.
