Been saying for years that I need to find a new family doctor and am currently looking. Never felt like he "got it" when I spoke to him. Never seemed to take my chronic pain seriously, "Take Advil, my favorite over the counter medication." I went elsewhere and found others who did help me. Now he's in trouble with the FDA regarding poor quality mammograms. Once he was told to stop doing them, he sold me one last mammogram right before the deadline. Now I have to have someone else review the mammogram and possible have it redone.

I last saw Dr Adelman 4 years ago in 2008, for a physical. Today I attempted to schedule another physical and I was treated as if I what I was asking for was nearly ludicrous. I was told that I would have to schedule a New Patient Office Visit first, so that the doctor could "get to know me again", since it had been so long since he last saw me. I got the most incredulous tone of voice when I was told "you're not even in the new system yet!" Oh how far I have fallen...I'm not in the NEW SYSTEM!!!

So apparently, after I had the "get to know Dr Adelman again" visit, I would then be permitted to schedule another appointment for the physical, later. I asked if this was a requirement of my insurance company, and I was told no, that it was policy of that office. Seems a little strange, considering a physical was the sole purpose of my very first visit with Dr Adelman over 15 years ago.

The icing on the cake was when I said "well, I guess if I'm a stranger to him, then I might as well look around for a new family doctor" and I was met with indifference. Dr Adelman is a fine man, but he lost my business for having a silly (greedy?) business practice and office staff who care more about procedure than patient care.

The most ironic thing about the whole misunderstanding: in what way does a General Practitioner "get to know" his patients that doesn't involve the exact things that are done in a physical?

Dr Adelman did a great job with the circumcision of my twin boys. The procedures(s) happened without a hitch, and we found Dr Adelman overall friendly and apparently very competent.  

There is only one problem--he told us he would give us a deal on the price of the circumcisions. Normally, he said, he would charge us $200 per circumcision, but for our twins he would charge $300 total. Never having paid anyone out-of-pocket for a circumcision, I thought that was a bit steep, but it sounded like he knew what he was doing, and he was recommended by someone I trusted, so I agreed to $300 for the pair.

After the circumcisions, we went home satisfied, and I waited for the $300 bill. A few months later, sure enough, we got a statement for $300 minus about $15 for our insurance network discount. I gladly paid it, remembering that that was what we had agreed to. In hindsight, I probably should have wondered why the name of only one of my sons appeared on the statement. Six months after settling our account (or so I thought), we received ANOTHER $300 bill for the other son. After a lot of phone tag and double-checking, Dr Adelman's office (we never got to speak to him personally again--it was all through his billing department) gave us a "deal" that was still $100 more than what we had originally agreed to.

Conclusion: if you want good friendly service with a chance of getting charged double, Dr Adelman is your man. Otherwise, skip it and find someone else.
