This review is for Dr Mascellinos covering physician on the weekends. We've had the unfortunate need to interact with Dr. Eliot Chodosh, covering neurologist for Dr. Anne Marie mascellino on the weekends. The first time we spoke, my mother had a seizure at her Assisted Living as she suffers from Alzheimers Disease. We asked Dr. Chodosh to put a hold on her antipsychotic meds until Monday when we had an appointment with Dr. Mascellino. Instead of being symphathetic to our situation, he was curt and abrupt with no only us but also the nurse staff at the AL. He actually yelled at the nurse over the phone when he lost his patience with needing to fax over the order to hold the medication as the policy is they can't take verbal orders. To make a long story short, we had to speak to a dr. this weekend because my mom was having side effects to the new medication she is on and is heavily leaning. Dr. Chodosh again dismissed us by phone and would not speak to us and said there was nothing he could do. He asked this time to have the nurse call his answering service and gave us the run around.
Dr. Chodosh represents all that is unkind about the medical profession. He has no patient manners nor the drive to be compassionate. I would not recommend him for the care of your loved one suffering from Alzheimers Disease when the disease is uncertain and you need to have patience in dealing with their care. read more
