If you enjoy having politics shoved down your throat at wildly inappropriate times and places, Dr…read more Zaruchni is your gal. Proceed with caution if you're anything other than a Harris/Walz superfan, though. You may feel judged, dismissed, or receive noticeably biased care. She also continues to require covid-era masks for patients without any apparent willingness to acknowledge the benefits of natural exposure years after the fact.
Unfortunately, the issues don't stop there. Her staff is impressively rude, both on the phone and in person. The receptionist called me seven times, three hang-ups (one before 8am) and four brief conversations, just to insist I arrive 20 minutes early. Naturally, the doctor then showed up 15 minutes late. That's 35 minutes of my life gone, which she generously compensated for by spending a whopping eight minutes with me.
In that blink-and-you-miss-it visit, she pushed an order for a mammogram. Coincidentally, the imaging center, which I never had any contact with before, has called and texted me 12 times to schedule. At that point, it felt less like healthcare and more like harassment. Makes me wonder about the reciprocity between offices.
As if the political commentary wasn't already wildly inappropriate, DURING MY MEDICAL APPOINTMENT, WITH MY FEET LITERALLY IN STIRRUPS, she asked me, A STRANGER, about a current event involving innocent people being slaughtered and sexually, physically, and psychologically tortured while being held hostage. She responded with a dismissive, "Oh well...," clearly signaling disagreement with the radical idea that Jews deserve to live in peace and safety. It was absolutely unhinged.
At no point did she or her staff show any awareness, or concern, about how uncomfortable, rushed, and unprofessional the entire experience was. If you enjoy condescension, chaos, and a side of political lecturing and Jew hatred with your medical care, you might love it here. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
