Took my mother to see him many times over the years. However, the very last visit my mom had (pre pandemic) she lost a lot of weight and her ankles were severely swollen which made it hard for her to walk. She was on medication but only had an incident of A-fib-- 14 years earlier. Usually we would see Dr. Haaz in Jenkintown, but the Northeast office is closer for my mom, so we saw him there. She had a 1pm appt. which we were 10 minutes late, because mom couldn't walk fast from the car.
It was the first time in this office location. Since we were late-- she went to the back of the medicare bus so to speak. Just as we were about to leave mom was seen by the Doctor at 4pm; do the math. We were so frustrated by the treatment, when my mom went in finally and I complained to the Dr. he denied any of it and wasn't very sympathetic to a person who could have had a heart attack just from the wait. Maybe that is what he wanted --makes more $ that way. When I questioned him on her swollen ankles he said it was her varicose veins, I said, "What"? She has had them for 30 years and her ankles are only now swollen--sorry but no relation. If I wasn't there (my mother couldn't advocate for herself) then she would have been written off sooner. Amazingly, an Echo was ordered for another day. This Dr. is terrible at prevention, you deserve better. Also, the front desk women at the Northeast Philly office are rude. Dr. needs to retire now! Seniors, you deserve better. read more
