Dr. Isaacs is an excellent physician, endocrinologist. He is detailed, open-minded and up-to-date. He treats me for diabetes and a thyroid problem. The office staff is terrific. I am very happy with this office.
His charges were astronomical, his arrogance was unbelievable, and I would never willingly choose to see him again. When going over the results of many tests which had been done with great difficulty and expense, I asked him a question. He never answered my question and said flatly, "I already told you that". He doesn't apparently believe that a patient is entitled to a question or opinion. Also, beware that his charges for obtaining your own file and test results are very high. When I asked for a copy of my medical file, the office staff could not have been less helpful. Then they charged me over $43.00 for furnishing me with 18 pages. I was also told that if I had the file sent to another doctor there would be not a charge. Why do they seem to be so reluctant to allow you to see your own medical test results and medical notes that you have paid dearly for? If there were a negative numbering system, I would use that and give his office a minus 100 or so.
I read Dr. Isaacs’ book Hormonal Balance and decided to make an appointment with him. I gained about 40 pounds over the past year and could not take it off. I was sure I had a hormone problem, but my regular doctor tested me and said that everything checked out normal. Dr. Isaacs did a full hormonal evaluation and determined that I had a mild thyroid problem and insulin resistance. He started medications and I have never felt better. He was very nice and even spoke to my regular doctor on the phone to explain my condition. The office is very well run and the staff is very nice. Every time I have labs done, he emails me a copy of the labs with a very nice report and letter. I have been so happy with the way my condition was handled and the way Dr. Isaacs coordinated my care with my primary physician.
