Dr. Guinto is my pain management doctor and he is terrific! He's genuine, caring, listens, and I…read moretrust him. I give him 5 stars! But is back office staff is awful! Calls are rarely, returned! I had an epidural a couple of weeks ago, and had several unusual symptoms I had never experienced. I put THREE calls into his office regarding 3 unusual symptoms and got one call back handling only one of the symptoms. I called again at night so the medical assistant would call me first thing in the morning, saying I was still concerned about my symtpoms and wanting to see the doctor and NEVER got a call back! The medical assistant is the conduit between the patient and the doctor and his medical assistants is unprofessional and doesn't seem to care for Dr. Guinto's patients. I'm frustrated and disappointed.

Update: I ended up moving forward with a procedure, only to have my follow up appointment canceled…read more They called me on a Saturday and said the doctor wouldn't be there. They rescheduled me for a week after the priorly scheduled appointment. Then they called and left me a voicemail canceling that appointment. I called the office back and they said the next appointment was months out and they'd have 'Zoe' call me. Well I never got rescheduled and never got ahold of anyone. Still no follow up appointment months later. Honestly this place is the WORST office I've ever been to. I give up. You can BET they are calling me to pay my bill though, so that's lovely. Bottom line is they push hundreds of people in and out of this place and money is all they care about. ----------------------------------------------- I saw Dr. Guinto who seemed genuine and listened to my concerns. At my first visit I had to arrive an hour early where I then waited almost two hours to be called back into the room. I then got my MRI. MRI department was wonderful. No complaints there. I had some issues trying to determine why this doctor suddenly said out of network when a week earlier it said he was in network (my insurance ended up solving the issue). The office staff was of ZERO help. They have been so rude when I have called in. Now I'm trying to schedule a follow up appointment, and they are over a month and a half out AND do not care about working around your schedule. As much as I appreciated Dr. Guinto, I'm going to try to find another doctor and go here as an absolute last resort. I have a M-F job and cannot spend 3-4 hours total waiting to be seen by a doctor. It's very difficult to even get the time off for a visit as Is.

Seems like if you are scheduled with an APP, the office should advise you in advance that you will not be seeing a doctor but rather a Nurse Practitioner. Red flag #1. Saw the NP with MRI results in hand and on a CD. NP ordered a back x-ray. Seriously?? An MRI was already performed, do you think a simple x-ray will tell you more than that? The office never called me to schedule the back x-ray nor the physical therapy that was ordered. As in NEVER called me. Red flag #2. So aside from this, the office tried to charge my insurance for the MRI that was already completed. Also, they did not even bill my insurance for over 90 days from my date of service. Once the insurance paid, I remitted my co-pay amount. Then, about 6 weeks after I paid my co-pay, they sent my account to collections. Red flag #3! It's literally unbelievable how awful this place is. I cannot imagine the poor patients besides me who have had similar experiences. I am just fortunate I found another Neurosurgery office who actually knows what they are doing.

He ignored us and couldn't talk to him even just for 5 mins in between patients and we were even willing to wait until his last patient. He wants us to make an appointment the following week.

Dr. Birnbaum was rude from the beginning of the appointment to the end. He was dismissive and…read morearrogant. I have had a health issue since I was a child, and have been diagnosed with my medical condition, a diagnosis supported by several other doctors. He dismissed my medical issue and went about asking questions about my mental health for most of the appointment, something I don't have a problem with (again confirmed by other doctors). He tried very hard to ferret out some psychological issue for my health problems. When that failed he continued to dismiss my condition and decided I just needed to take yoga. He obviously didn't believe in my medical condition or try to understand it. For someone having to deal with a medical condition that affects my life, this is extremely painful and degrading. He did spend a decent amount of time with me, but most of that time was devoted to asking questions that weren't relevant. For the few questions that were relevant he usually cut me off when I was answering if what I was saying didn't fit into what he thought or believed. He, then, summarized everything on his tape recorder, which was a complete waste of time since he obviously disbelieved everything I said and hardly offered any advice. The advice he did give was completely inane and not something one would ever follow up on. If you are looking for a thoughtful, compassionate doctor who seeks to listen and understand and really help his patients, do not go to him!

About a week after the referral was sent, I called the office to check on it. At that time, they told me they had not received it. When I called back later, they confirmed that it had been received, but I was told it would be three to four weeks before anything could be scheduled. Since then, I have called at least a dozen times and left multiple messages, including on different extensions, hoping someone would call me back. The staff member handling referrals has shown no professionalism, compassion, or care for my situation. Not once did I receive a call back, despite repeated attempts and expressing how important this was to me. I completely understand that Dr. Bhatia is very busy. If the office had simply told me he would not be able to see me, I would have accepted that and moved on to another referral. What is unacceptable is the complete lack of communication and compassion. A simple phone call could have saved me weeks of waiting and allowed me to seek care elsewhere sooner. I have now had to get a new referral and schedule with another doctor, but my appointment is four months out. This whole experience has been extremely upsetting. Patients deserve basic professionalism and communication. Please do better, Dr. Bhatia.
