Then afterwards he had me wait for about twenty minutes in the triage area of the hospital then came out and told me to start a high fiber diet. Then he took off and never came back. If he had listened to me during the RECORDED consultation, he would have known, I'm a vegetarian and I already have a high fiber diet. Prior to this he told me to come in and do some lactose testing, which i did, months later. The secretary administered my test. THE SECRETARY! Then they charged me for both tests when i only got one. He never called me after the colonoscopy or the testing to follow up or maybe find a way to solve my problem. and this is after SEVERAL phone calls to him.I left many messages with no return. I do not recommend him to anyone. Also, his office is very dirty and unprofessional. The waiting room is fine, it's his office that looks like he lives there part time and never cleans.Which wouldn't make sense because he's never there and doesn't return calls! I hope he sees this because I want him to know that as far as doctors go, this was one of the worst experiences I've had. Fix your stuff sir. And maybe try to act professionally. Thanks.

The WORST experience I've had with a doctor…read more He messed up on his medical coding which resulted in my being charged an extra ~$400. There were things that were covered by my insurance, but because he was obviously trying to get extra money out of me and billed incorrectly, these things ended up not being covered. If he billed correctly, my insurance would have covered it rather than the bill going to me instead. For example, he charged me for 2 visits rather than one because he ran over -- I did not ask for him to go so slow. And then he linked my annual blood work to that random office visit, it ended up where my insurance wouldn't cover it. I gave them a benefit of a doubt, so I called them and they were extremely rude! I even had a Steward rep call them with me, and his staff said I was wrong and hung up on both of us. It took me over 6 months to get this resolved! However, it shouldn't have required that much effort to fix something on their end. And their behavior was completely unacceptable. I would stay away from this place. He's obviously up to some shady work.

(I was going into the amazon for 2.5 days) Luckily I was able to get into another dr for malaria in time otherwise I'd be pissed. The reason for the two stars is because the nurses were wonderful women who made it one of the more pleasant times I've gotten shots before.

She does schedule very far ahead and her office staff did not want to make an exception even though I was a patient and told them it was a truly urgent situation, but I faxed her personally and she took me in right away.

My initial impression of Dr. Holtzman during my first and only exam on 10/28/24 was not an…read moreentirely positive one. I found his non-medical questions about my personal life unnecessarily intrusive. (I'd already been asked and answered a couple of those questions online as part of the required Zocdoc new patient intake by his office.) One of these was "What is your sexual orientation?" As with Zocdoc, I told him I was straight. He replied with a smile: "Maybe a straight guy who also sleeps with men?" (I believe his precise words were "Heterosexual meaning you like just women, or women and men?") Which left me slack-jawed. A couple unspoken thoughts crossed my mind in quick succession: "Huh? Wouldn't such a guy be a bisexual?" Followed by a recognition of his obvious insinuation, which I found as unprofessional as it was inaccurate. It may be appropriate for a physician to ask a patient's sexual orientation today (I'm 71), but hardly professional to suggest a different orientation to the patient. His next question was "When did you last have sex?" despite the fact that I came to this first office visit presenting no complaints, let alone symptoms, that might suggest an STD or anything else of a sexual nature. Frankly, I had to wonder what the dude's agenda was. He insisted on giving me a referal to his dermatologist colleague, despite my telling him I had seen two dermatologists ---working together--less than a year earlier as a part of the excision of a couple benign facial blemishes. Then when the results of my Qwest lab bloodwork of a week later came back, liver enzymes AST and ALT in my blood were abnormally high, so I messaged him for his interpretation. Unlike my previous PCPs, who would offer a brief interpretation via their patient portals, his terse response was: "See me." Which I interpreted as another office visit. Fortunately, I subsequnetly remembered that I had taken large doses of acetaminophen at the time of the blood draws due to cold symptoms, which temporarily elevates these enzymes' levels. (Mystery solved and money saved.) But I noted his attempt to turn my simple portal inquiry into a billable office visit, not (in fairness to him) unusual in today's profit-focused US medical industry. As physician/author Elizabeth Rosenthal has written: "The 'first do no harm' directive has been replaced with 'first leave no money on the table' ". In the year that followed, he cooperatively issued for me two gastroenterologist referrals with a recommendation for a colonoscopy, (although I should note that the first referral was for a gastroenterologist conncted to a facility from which a hospital approved post-sedated procedure ride home was unavailable to me, which limitation I had made very clear to him during the 10/2024 exam, thus the need for the second referral. In summary, I had no reason to question Dr. Holtzman's overall medical competence, but also no desire to remain in his practice.

She looks at her watch, pointing out the time and lets me know that the doctor may not be able to see me. "It has barely been 10 minutes" I said. She tells me to hold on and she will speak with the doctor. The doctor is just steps away in another room, I can hear their conversation. The doctor says "Just put her in a room and I will look at it real quick" with an annoyed attitude. I politely left.

As if I prescribed it to myself! And 2) she was incredibly hostile toward me when I calmly asked her to clarify a bill that I received and she claimed I was trying to "get a free treatment" I had to calmly say to her "I don't know why you are getting so angry, I am just trying to understand my bill, which is my right" she the later apologized and then proceeded to throw her staff under the bus for misbilling me. Net/net I would not recommend her to anyone , which is a shame because she came highly recommended, but I think things have changed in the last few years.
