No one answered the first call. Someone picked up the 2nd call, which we provided our insurance information, described the situation and asked for a same day "emergency visit", the lady put us on hold and see if there are any doctor available for us. Then the phone was disconnected while we were holding. Waited for like 5 minutes, but nobody called us back at all. We called again and a different person picked up the phone, I told him that insurance information has been provided, but he said he could not locate my son's account in the system. We were back to step 1 to provide insurance information again. The phone got disconnected again while I was giving him our insurance information. I immediately called back and another person picked up. After going through all the troubles, we were finally able to get an appointment for 3 days later. We went to see the doctor this morning, the front desk staff were busy chatting with each other while two other patients were waiting on the line. The PA and Dr. (Dr. Wei Shen) were very friendly and professional, Dr. Shen thoroughly checked my son's ankle and reviewed the x-ray image, gave me assurance that he seemed fine and provided me action plans on at-home remedy exercise and estimated time of recovery. I have no issue with the Dr. at the office, but the patient service is not what I expected from a large healthcare network provider.

It gave me some relief for a couple of years. In the past 2 months I have taken Platelet-Rich Plasma shots; 2 in each knee. The results are unbelievable. I can literally jog after these treatments. I also have a torn rotator cuff and slap tears of my shoulder. Unfortunately, I have not had any success with the PRP shots for my shoulder, and will be going for surgery. I strongly recommend that if anyone experiences joint problems and wants to avoid surgery, they should consider visiting this practice. I did a lot of homework before I agreed to these shot. They have worked for Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, and Peyton Manning -all world class athletes. The shots are not covered by insurance but the relief I got to my knees are well worth the investment. Good Luck, Mr. M

The second time I called I was told doctor has me scheduled for a call tomorrow, it would have been nice if they would have let me know. It didn't make a difference, he never called, and the rocket scientist that I spoke to today said to me it sounds like you are not happy with our practice. You can always stop coming here.

Between the compound/open fracture and the other broken bones, my morning started off tragically wrong. Thankfully, Dr. Tam is more skilled than all the king's horses and all the king's men because he was able to put me back together again! Dr. Tam impressed me with his straight-forward "this is what I would do if it were me" approach. I like options, but he isn't afraid to tell you what the best option is. Before surgery, he put his hand on my shoulder and let told me, "You'll be alright." He assured me he would do his best. His tone and the warmth of a human touch comforted me. I was very impressed by his skill. This isn't his first rodeo and he is very familiar with the ins and outs of surgery. I'm pretty sure he gave me a Borg implant, take a look at the picture and tell me what you think! I hope I don't start saying, "Resistance is futile!" Nothing but praise for Dr. Tam and I highly recommend him. If you need his services then you're in a bad situation. Trust him and he will get you to recovery as fast as possible.

He had left New York to practice medicine in a beautiful area of Florida, however, quite sadly he developed serious medical problems that will now forever prohibit him to administer that stellar service that I was a privy to for over a decade. I am very sad to relay this news, but I just loved him and wanted to share this information, in case anyone was wondering what happened to him. Thank you for your many years of keeping me mobile.

During my meetings with him, Dr. Taverni caused me to take an immediate defensive position due to an irrelevant, inappropriate and judgmental line of questioning that served no purpose other than to satiate his own curiosity of who he (quite inaccurately) believed me to be, seemingly based on nothing more than my appearance. Dr. Taverni has obvious social/emotional issues that I'm convinced are directed only towards certain types of people. I'd hate to think he treats all his patients this horribly yet somehow manages to keep his job.

My experience at this office was completely unacceptable. This is the third time I've accompanied…read moremy grandmother, who suffers from severe pain, and every visit has been frustrating because of the way patients are treated at the front desk. I believe the front desk employee's name is Liz. During every visit, she has come across as dismissive, impatient, and unprofessional. She spoke to us with an attitude that made us feel like we were an inconvenience, and I witnessed her treating other patients in a similarly disrespectful manner. The front desk is the first impression of any medical office, and her behavior reflects very poorly on the practice. Patients who are already dealing with illness or pain deserve compassion and respect, not rudeness. Management should seriously address the customer service at the front desk before more patients choose to leave. I will not be returning to this office, and I will be recommending that friends and family seek care elsewhere.

I finally went to another surgeon because I had increased pain at the site of the surgery and was…read moregetting numbness and cramping in my legs and feet, and I had gotten nowhere in trying to get Toledano to call me back. X-rays showed that two of the three pins were no longer flush with the incision but were sticking up. I have to wonder if Toledano actually saw that on my last visit for an x-ray and didn't say anything, since I had already started to have some problems in the hip and legs. Now I know why I have pain and numbness. Those pins are digging into soft tissue and nerves. The severity grows and wanes depending on what position I am in. I cannot sleep at all because lying down makes everything a lot more severe. I finally managed to get his office to send me the x-rays and went to someone else who an acquaintance recommended. This second surgeon insists nothing can be done, didn't even want to see the x-rays I had with me, and suggested physical therapy. Well, that sure won't help. Even I know that. Toledano obviously did a horrible job with the placement of those pins and the rest of the hardware and totally destroyed my quality of life. I can no longer drive because of numbing in my feet. I cannot walk my dog. I worry about walking in general since I do not have any confidence in being sure-footed. I have to hope other nerves do not become affected which could lead to other organs, including the heart. He is adept at ignoring me, and obviously has no desire to address this. I now have to keep looking for someone with an answer while I still can. Stay away from this man, and actually stay away from North Shore Hospital. They are the pits. I can only say that medicine is no longer what it once was, and the big business it has become has put ability and caring in a back seat.
