Dr. Celesta Hunsiker is the worst physician I have ever encountered. Cold, uncaring, unempathetic,…read morewith the personality and bedside manner of a wet mop. She, also has no idea how to properly diagnose a patient. I honestly don't know how she ever became a physician, or why for that matter. Aside from being completely callous with her patients, her generic response to EVERYTHING is "there's nothing we can do for you." She misdiagnoses her patients constantly, sending them to urgent care the next day. She spends a total of 1 minute in the room with a patient, including patients that she has never met before. Dr. Hunsiker also is NOT knowledgeable on medications. She prescribed my mother a medication for cholesterol, that severely interacted with her blood pressure medicine. When asked if this medication as safe to take, Dr. Hunsiker replied, "yes, take it." Thank goodness our pharmacist gave my mother the CORRECT information, and said this medication was unsafe, and NOT to take it. Furthermore, Dr. Hunsiker gives out medication without looking at the possible side effects toward anything, including if her patient has diabetes. She prescribed prednisone to my mother, without notifying her that the prednisone would indeed increase her blood sugars dramatically. My mother ended up on the phone with an on call doctor that night, who couldn't understand why Dr. Hunsiker didn't explain that this could happen, and give advice on how to adjust her diabetes medication. Dr. Hunsiker also reduces a patients medication without their consent, without seeing them to discuss it, and without even KNOWING THE PATIENT. Why they let her have a license to practice, I'll never know. STAY AWAY FROM THIS DOCTOR.

The allergist I saw had the worst demeanor and bedside manor I have ever seen in my life! Porus J Dhabhar MD was not only rude to his nursing staff but to me on multiple occasions. Insead of listening to his patient (myself), he kept getting increasingly irratated and mad in which he snapped at me on multiple occasions. He precedded to tell me I don't have migraines nor can I distingush between a migraine or sinus headache. Well I hate to tell you buddy but I had been diagnosed with chronic migraines. He also told me that " Advil" with take away the pain that I have with my "blood tested and verified" Rheumatoid Arthritis! Well buddy once again you are wrong and that's why you are not specialized as a Rheumatologist and making the big bucks! There are many other aspects of this meeting that I will not mention, but suffice it to say that I would never nor will I ever recommend this MD or office for Allergy testing! I would much rather drive out to Syracuse to get the care, respect, and corrects answers that I need!
