I needed an exam with contrast. When I scheduled the exam the front desk asked about my veins. I…read moresaid I have HORRIBLE veins. She said they'd schedule me when the radiologist is there and he can use an ultrasound. Scheduled the appointment and then scheduled my appt with my doc to go over everything. When I get there I mention to them about the radiologist and the ultrasound and they don't say anything. The tech starts to look for a vein. The worst experience I've ever had with someone trying to find a vein!!!!! He had to use two tunicates. He stabbed me twice and as he was failing miserably with the 3rd attempt I bring up the radiologist and the ultrasound. HE IS NOT THERE!! And he won't be in next week!!

I have mixed feelings about my experience here. On one hand, the facilities are beautiful, wait…read moretimes are non-existent, and the doctors are professional and skilled. Unfortunately, my experience was completely ruined by an administrative and billing oversight that ended up costing me significantly out of pocket. Prior to my first visit, I confirmed with both my insurance and this office that they were in-network. I obtained a referral from my primary care doctor and presented it to the front desk at my first appointment. They accepted the paperwork without question and proceeded with my treatment. It wasn't until after my second visit--and after having my primary doctor redo and resubmit the referral--that I learned the initial paperwork accepted by the front desk was invalid. Despite making numerous attempts to resolve this with billing, filing an appeal with my insurance, and escalating the issue directly to the practice manager, the office refused to take responsibility. My insurance company confirmed that the practice should never have accepted improper documentation or proceeded without valid authorization. Because of their front-desk mistake, both of my visits were processed out-of-network, leaving me stuck with a very expensive bill. It is incredibly disappointing that practice management wouldn't own up to an administrative error made by their own staff. While the medical care is good, the lack of billing integrity and customer accountability makes it hard to recommend this practice. Protect your wallet and double-check everything yourself if you choose to go here.

I think Dr. Goldberg is knowledgeable on a surface level but for our deeper issue wasn't willing or able to find out the root cause.

Today i missed my train and could not go with my almost 18 yr old daughter to her consultation. I called, explained the situation and the receptionist was nice and sent me a Patient Consent form via email with me authorizing my daughter to be seen. The form states "I hereby grant the Physician permission to treat my child when they arrive at the office unacompanied" Furthermore, I was told her maternal grandmother could attend with her which I added her name to the consent form, though it was not required. My senior parents rushed to accompany my daughter. My daughter has a very challenging schedule with HS Sports and this visit was scheduled some time ago to accomodate that. She rushed after school to get there. She was rejected by the Office Manager and could not be seen. WHY HAVE A CONSENT FORM IF IT IS USELESS? Why ask me to fill it out? Why waste our precious time? We are done here. They lost 2 patients today because of this ineffective office management and not following their own policy. The office manager is in need of training and Dr Goldberg should review her policies and educate her accordingly or seek a staff that knows what they are doing and do not bring an attitude that was so unnecessary. It takes a village and the office staff represents the Doctor and if they cannot do so in good spirit then that is sad. This was the last straw. Moving on....

Dr. Michaels and her office are extremely unprofessional. I often take negative reviews with a…read moregrain of salt, but all of the negative reviews you see for this office are true and valid. Here are a few examples of the lack of professionalism that I experienced: 1. I booked an appointment for 12pm through their online platform. I received a confirmation email and text that my appointment was confirmed by the office. I arrived at the office at 11:45 to find out that they did not have any appointments confirmed for 12pm that day, and that the doctor and her staff were out for a long lunch. The receptionist offered to give me an open slot at 1pm, and I eventually saw the doctor at 2:30pm. 2. I was being treated for a skin bacterial infection on my face. The doctor GOOGLEd the name of the bacteria on her iphone in the middle of our appointment in order to know what the bacteria was. She didn't even know what the bacteria was, and did not bother or care to look up what it was and be prepared for my appointment BEFORE the appointment. 3. One of the ointments she prescribed me was not covered by insurance. Walgreens pharmacy said they would call the doctor's office to request an alternate treatment. After not hearing from Walgreens for over a week, I called the pharmacy to hear that they tried reaching out the the doctor several times and never heard back; she never returned the pharmacist's calls to provide an alternate medication. This is extremely dangerous, as my infection continued to spread. Do not go to this office. Go elsewhere, even if you have to wait a few weeks to get an appointment elsewhere, go elsewhere. Waiting is better than putting your trust in this doctor and her office.

While he was friendly, he didnt eliminate my acne. The areas of acne he injected reduced the swelling, but then it got worse two days later. Furthermore, I just got the bill from my insurance, and what I thought would only be a $35 copay ended up being $100 because I was charged for the injection, and even the solution they used on me! If I had known, I would have refused to injection. During this visit, the doctor told me he was going to have me use a 20% benzoyl peroxide lotion and that I could get it from the receptionist. Apparently this lotion is homemade and costs $35 out of pocket (not covered by insurance at all and the office takes all the profit). This lotion is no joke, it will burn your face off. I was also prescribed Doryx which would be approximately $300 with my insurance coverage. The doctor gave me some coupon that reduced it to $25 (but I had to call to activate the coupon by giving all my personal info). The worst part was the pills didnt work!!! They were huge and hard to swallow, even when cut in half. I looked up Doryx online and it says for acne, it must be taken for 12 weeks. Seriously? Three months of an antibiotic?? I've been to many dermatologists and it never took that long to clear my face with antibiotics. He was probably trying to promote the medicine to get $$ out of it. I went to my regular doctor last week and asked for help with my face since Dr. Johnson didnt do it for me. My doctor prescribed me some pills and within days I've noticed a difference. The cost of the medicine with my insurance? $5!!!!! Next time I'm not going to a specialist. I wont be back here again.
