He also helped my husband regain use of his finger as well after a crushing injury at work. So very glad our area has such a great OT option in Neil.

I would recommend anyone to the Dr's and nurses at Blair Medical. They are very knowledgeable and…read moreprofessional. It is a shame however that their front desk staff is terrible. I have been a patient at Blair Medical for about 10 years and during that time the two ladies at the front desk have not once been nice or accommodating. When walking into the office they not once have greeted me, as well as, I have stood at their window on several occasions for well over 5 minutes before one of them even offered to help me. It is such a shame to see the professionalism of the medical staff be completely diminished by their receptionists. I don't know why they do not let these two individuals go. Needless to say I am no longer a patient at Blair Medical and the sole reason is their rude, unprofessional, front desk receptionist. They need a lesson in customer service!!!

I had been suffering for years with what had been misdiagnosed as Mixed Connective Tissue Disease,…read moreFybromyalgia, Sjogren's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and others. I had seen more rheumatologists than I could count. Most days I couldn't get out of bed. By chance I stumbled upon Dr. Alan Kivitz and my life began to improve. He is the one who, with much trial and error, correctly diagnosed me with Lupus and I now take monthly infusions of a drug called Saphnelo. I credit Dr. Kivitz with saving my life because for many years I no longer wanted to live. Many who know me say they can't even tell I have Lupus as the drug is doing wonders. One word of caution: If you are looking for a doctor who holds your hand, speaks of unicorns and rainbows, and generally spends an hour on trivialities, this guy is not it. However if you're looking for a doctor who has been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, owns his own practice (with over 100 staff), has been in practice for over 40 years, and is committed to finding an effective treatment for everyone he sees, then you need to book an appointment with Dr. Kivitz immediately. You will not regret it.

Found Dr. Kivitz's focus more related to his personal agenda with research then providing quality…read morepatient care. Makes patient feel they are filling out paper work in regards to their plan of care, but actually his research. When addressing concern/question with Dr. Kivitz, he is quick to dismiss the question to point of being condescending. Staff without name tags on to disclose role. Staff offended when ask their name or position. Staff sitting around eating chips and drinking. Did not see one staff member/provider washing hands or practicing good hand hygiene. No gloves. Did see Angie, PA one visit and she was very thorough. Dr. Kivitz needs to focus first on his patient's care, then ask patient if they are interested in helping him with his research. His behavior is inappropriate and basically just rude. Please take my review to heart and find another doctor. As a health care professional myself, I would not recommend Dr. Kivitz. Basically felt like a specimen for his research.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Hughes and his physical therapy practice. From the start,…read morehe brought years of experience, a calm and patient demeanor, and a level of personal care that made each visit feel both productive and genuinely enjoyable. The clinic is well-organized, welcoming, and runs like clockwork. Dr. Hughes combines professionalism with a friendly, down-to-earth approach that immediately puts you at ease. He took the time to listen, explain, and adjust the therapy based on my needs--and it worked. If you're searching for a physical therapist, stop looking and go see Dr. Hughes first. He's simply one of the best. Wishing him all the best as he pursues his guide certification at Gettysburg--something that I'm sure will be just as successful as his work in the clinic. -- Tom D.

After 8 appointments there was no significant improvement and I was disappointed in the lack of thoroughness as I never received an X-ray on my neck. To top it off I was told I would pay a certain co-pay but apparently half way through my appointments they realized they billed the insurance wrong without telling me so I continued going and paying the same amount only to receive a letter in the mail from the office telling me I had a large amount due. This business will probably do fine with its long term elderly customers but as a short term thing I found the Dr. and the office lacked professionalism and would not recommend this chiropractic office.

This hospital is a criminal enterprise. I had an outpatient procedure here where they put me under…read more Upon waking the nurse shoved a glass of ice water in my face and told me to hurry up and drink it, then urinate and get out because she had other patients that needed the room. I was just waking up and in shock. I looked around while still groggy and she got even more angry at me that I hadn't started drinking the ice water and started shouting that I was being charged for half a day already and that if I didn't hurry up and get out, the hospital would charge me for a full day. I asked how long since I had been out of the procedure and she informed me that I had been out of the operating room for 30 minutes and 45 minutes is the maximum they allow for outpatients to use the room. 45 minutes and charging patients for a half day and a full day if you don't immediately wake up and run out the door and say thank you. It's sad that hospitals are allowed to charge people like this and the UPMC business ethics sure shine through their employees with how they treat customers. I mean.. imaging being charged $60,000 to be treated like a piece of dirt and then shouted at, and told afterwards that if you don't hurry up and gtfo, you'll be charged even more. I imagine if you were an insurance auditor and really started running numbers to calculate how many outpatient surgeries were done in a day versus how many half day charges for a bed were being sent to them. If I were an insurance company, I'd be sending all of my auditors to UPMC Bedford and asking to look through their books. If I were a lawyer, I'd be looking back on how long they've been doing this and at how many other locations, this practice is happening. I imagine that a really good lawyer could make their retirement happen early on what he or she finds.

However, I am very happy to say that ALL of the Doctors, Nurses, and Secretaries who I met that day at UPMC were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. It was very obvious that they were working very hard to make me feel at ease and their professional attitude made me feel confident that I was getting the best possible care, and I was! The procedure was done flawlessly and fortunately with good results for me. I of course do not look forward to having this procedure done again in the future but at least I know that I will be in good hands when it is done again by the knowledgeable, professional and caring Staff at UPMC Bedford Memorial. Thank you Doctors, Nurses, and Secretaries!!!
