I have been a patient of Dr. Abroon for many years and at every appointment he greets me with a…read moresmile and warm hello! Dr. Abroon has all the qualities that are important to me in building a healthy doctor/patient relationship! At the top of my list is that Dr. Abroon is a good listener. He never rushes my appointment and always addresses my concerns, thoughts, opinions and viewpoint. For example, Dr. Abroon will take the time to read an article I clipped from a health newsletter on a subject I felt was pertinent to my care. Dr. Abroon is very knowledgeable, concerned for my well-being, will make referrals when necessary and follow up on my reports. Dr. Abroon is empathetic, compassionate and caring. The staff is always cheerful, efficient and polite. There are times I forget to mention something at my appointment and get upset with myself. But, I feel comfortable calling the office when I get home. I know that Dr. Abroon will return my call and with his calming voice say, "Alice, how are you? How can I help you?" These are the qualities that are important to me!

Echoing the sentiments of some others, as someone who has intimate knowledge of medical billing…read morepractices, Dr. Abroon is unethical in this regard. Here is my experience: I'll start by saying that the staff were friendly and professional, but that is the extent of the positivity here. I have in-network insurance, early 30's, low risk for heart issues and, by choice, just underwent a full ECG and heart stress test with a licensed cardiologist/heart doctor specialist about 6 months ago. 40+ minute wait. Dr. Abroon is NOT a cardiologist. He is a PCP. Yet he insisted, even after I told him and his staff that I just did a fulsome heart exam with a cardiologist, that (1) I pay $250 out of pocket UNLESS (2) they administer an EKG at the start of the visit without having assessed symptoms or risks or heart issues. His staff conveyed that he does an EKG on all his patients, which is medically unnecessary according to a number of medical authorities (see, for example, https://www.aafp.org/family-physician/patient-care/clinical-recommendations/all-clinical-recommendations/cw-ekg.html). Could I have opted to pay $47 to move forward with his EKG? Sure. But on principle this is very clearly a very wrong thing to do. It is not ethical to push an unnecessary medical exam that is costly for an insurance company so he can receive pure financial gain, and again, what's worse is that when I declined the EKG, he gave me the ultimatum that he would otherwise charge me a whopping $250 out of pocket. After I raised all these issues with Dr Abroon, he declined to proceed with our visit. Dr. Abroon's practice is patently unethical, and calls to question whether he has tendencies to conduct his practice this way more broadly. I encourage you to avoid this place. There are plenty of providers in the city that are upstanding.

My entire family goes to him now and everyone is happy! He's VERY thorough, very careful and methodical, exactly what you want from a doctor. Even with the routine stuff that I bet he's done a jillion times, I notice him checking labels and making sure stuff is correct before starting. His bedside manner is great, very kind, understanding, and you never feel rushed during the appointment. He asks several times if you have any questions or things he needs to know. He's the first doctor to also tell me to forward results from my dermatologist to him so that he stays in the loop. I feel he really cares about getting the whole picture, when it comes to my health. The staff is great too - kind yet straight to the point, they seem very familiar with their jobs. I really appreciate that the receptionist gave me a rundown of how HMOs work when I showed her my card (about seeking referrals), because no other office has every taken the initiative to educate patients like that in my experience. Wait times are short, the office is cozy. There's a blood lab literally the next building down, so doing your whole annual exam is really convenient (and its in my network!) I have had no trouble calling them on the phone for referrals to specialists, or getting results back. Can't recommend him enough, absolutely the best doctor ever. I seriously wish more doctors were even a fifth as caring and careful as he is, Dr. Falk is doing it right.

He was arrogant, he was not a good listener and, in my experience, he did not have empathy. After thinking about my experience with Dr. Goldberg and doing more research, I felt like I should write this review. According to the New York Post, Dr. Goldberg was sued because the infamous anesthesiologist Dr. Brian Goldweber AKA "Dr. Disease" administered anesthesia during procedures in Dr. Goldberg's office! https://nypost.com/2007/06/17/doctor-disease/ According to this court summary "Dr. Goldberg did not independently investigate Dr. Goldweber's qualifications and, instead, relied on Dr. Carni to do so." https://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2012/2012-ny-slip-op-50214-u.html Eventually the case was dismissed because it turned out that the patient did not get sick because of "Dr. Disease." BUT IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT DR. GOLDBERG RELIED ON A THIRD PARTY TO VET HIS ANESTHESIOLOGIST! That's really scary. Imagine if you're having a procedure under anesthesia in an office and something goes wrong. You're not in a hospital setting. Can you imagine if your doctor, who you trusted, did not independently vet the anesthesiologist?!?! There is also an article about Dr. Goldberg in the New York Times that sheds light on my experience. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/nyregion/enhanced-medical-care-for-an-annual-fee.html According to the article, Dr. Goldberg also runs a "concierge" medical practice in addition to the private practice where I saw him. He once accompanied a patient to an MRI and "held her toe" to comfort her. Give me a break! In my opinion, VIP medicine is not good medicine (Prince, Michael Jackson), and I don't trust doctors who model their practice on VIP medicine. The office was in a convenient location and the receptionist was nice and professional. The waiting room was nicely decorated and people were friendly. I spoke to another patient who was good friends with Dr. Goldberg. I was taken aback by the conversation. Maybe you're thinking "who becomes good friends with their gastro"? Well, it turns out that the patient was friends with Dr. Goldberg first and apparently Dr. Goldberg doesn't have a problem treating his friends. It made me uncomfortable and it felt like Dr. Goldberg doesn't have professional boundaries. Most medical ethicists would agree that doctors shouldn't be treating their friends. But if this is common practice for Dr. Goldberg, it would explain why he has so many good reviews: are his friends writing reviews for him? Because the reviews just don't match up with my experience. Dr. Goldberg does not take insurance. If you're lucky enough to have a PPO and you only care about location, then Dr. Goldberg may be right for you. If you are looking for a patient centric doctor then I would look somewhere else. If you're looking for an "important" doctor, I think there are a lot doctors in the city who have degrees from higher ranked schools than the school that Dr. Goldberg attended or who have impressive positions at hospitals. The best hospitals in the city also offer concierge services for patients who can afford it. So whether you're looking for VIP treatment or whether you are like me and you're just looking for a trustworthy and professional doctor, I think there are much better options out there. No matter what, DO YOUR RESEARCH. I did not know about Dr. Goldberg's association with "Dr. Disease" prior to my visit to his office. If I had, I never would have trusted him.
