Dear Doctor Gonzales, During the past 11-12 months, I/we…read morehave felt frustration and deep concern for my husband, due to the treatment we received from you and Kaitlin Fifarek, APRN. 1. We came back to see you in January of 2023. (You said to come in if we had any concerns or noticed changes.) I had a list of changes, a. He thought we were in New York. We have not visited New York for years and have not lived there since 1967. b He was unable to manage his I phone. c He could not balance the bank statement, which he had done for many years for his clients and family. d He had difficulty maneuvering the computer from one program to another. You said, "It is just old age"! In other words, what the wife lives with and sees every day, is not valid or worth considering. It is ridiculous for you to assume the spouse' s report means nothing. In our case I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have often collaborated with patients and families dealing with dementia. The court has paid me to administer Mental Status Exams to dementia patients to assess the need for Guardianships. Your disregard for my report caused Mr. Schimmel to suffer needlessly for two more years with symptoms of worsening dementia. 2. Before you dismissed us, we requested a referral for Neuro/Psychological testing. 3. Thomas J. Longo, Psy.D, M.S. stated that Mr. Schimmel's testing showed many deficits in cognitive functioning. Testing also suggested his driving skills could be impaired. 4. In June, we had an appointment with Kaitlin Fifarek to go over the Neuro/Psychologicak exam. Prior to our arrival, she had not reviewed the report. Once she had located the report from Dr. Longo, she took only a moment or two to peruse it. She then said, "It is just old age!" We were surprised, since this was not what Dr. Longo had said. (At that point, we did not have a copy of Dr. Longo's report). 5. When we expressed concern, she asked us what we wanted to do. She offered no options, even though Dr. Longo had numerous recommendations. (We requested a Brain Scan, which she ordered.) 6. We returned to see Kaitlin Fifarek in August to discuss the results of the brain scan. She said there was nothing evident in that report. We later learned that the scan report suggested NPHC (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus). It is our understanding that she could have discussed looking into the possibility of further testing ( a lumbar puncture) and discussion of NPHC. 7. I had a copy of the psychological exam with me. I had highlighted the recommendations and the Clinical Impression Dr Longo had found concerning. Kaitlin responded with "What do you want to do now"? She offered medication. We are concerned with the side effects of available medications, so declined that offer. We have wondered what she might have suggested, or what referrals she might have made, based om Dr. Longo's report? We did not receive good medical care when she did not suggest pursuing the diagnosis of NPHC. She and you just settled for "old age." 8. When Mr. Schimmel went to see his new primary care physician in December2023, Dr. Fineman told us he saw signs of NPHC. He educated us on the condition and asked if we wanted to be referred to a Neurologist. We followed through with that referral. In April, Mr. Schimmel had a lumbar puncture. Unfortunately, the results of the before and after psychological examination and the evaluation of the P.T. were inconclusive. As his symptoms became worse, we pursued the option of a shunt. 9. The shunt surgery was about two months ago. His cognitive abilities and walking improve daily. We are concerned that your office wrote Mr. Schimmel off with "It is just old age"! We were not aware of that being a medical diagnosis. I had told you that his dementia was "different." I had told you of some of the changes in his memory and bhavior. It seems weird to me that a physician takes a few minutes in the office as the picture of the patient and ignores what the family describes. I cannot even end this note with a "thank you". I will send a copy to the central office of Intercoastal and to the medical society. I hope you begin to care more about your patients, and listen to family members. Sincerely, Brenda H Schimmel, LCSW

I absolutely had no idea and any doctors office could be so less than helpful. Now they are billing me 312.00 for a well visit that I did not need. I kept this appt because I needed help with joint pain and sciatica...they billed it as wellness, insurance turned it down Did I sy I pay out of pocket for insurance too? oh sure do. The biggest problem is they do less than nothing....here is a doctors office that figured out how to make money by doing nothing. I had a well visit in August There is absolutely no accountability concerning ANYTHING.

Dr. Asi took my call on a Saturday morning and saw me in his office in less than an hour to drain the excess fluid that resulted in immediate pain relief. But this wasn't the best part. He worked ordered tests to determine the root cause of this excess inflammation and built a customized plan to put me on a path so I can thrive and live my best life in my 60's. None of this would have happened this quickly with a visit to a typical urgent care. I am forever grateful for his dedication to my health and responsiveness to my needs. Lastly, I also fondly recall being in my optometrist's office and needing information from Precision health's office, and I said "Let me call my doctor" to which the optometrist replied "that will take forever". The look of surprise on my optometrist's face when over the speaker phone my call was answered on the first ring and the answer needed was delivered immediately. Concierge medicine is definitely worth it for me!

To say this has been a trying year is an understatement. She was recently released from the hospital for pneumonia and we brought her to stay with us in New Jersey to hopefully get her moved back up here (stubborn). While she has been up here she started coughing up brown flem. So we called her Doctor to see if they could prescribe something to help ease the cough. When we called we spoke to the receptionist who told us it was after hours (even though it was 4:30 and they close at 5:00) and that they would have to call the after hours doctor and see if he could prescribe medicine. About a half an hour later Dr. Phifer calls he did not say who he was on the phone (phone was on speaker). And when my mom asked him a couple of times he was very very rude (he said yeah what do you want, (among other non-professional words) and said you called me. I got on the phone and told him he was on speaker and that she is very sickly and that was no way to speak to her. From my little experience i had with him he was rude, could care a less about her and just wanted to get off the phone. I think we were interrupting his 4th of July weekend. Never in my 53 years have i heard a doctor be so rude to a patient. If i didn't hear it for myself i would not have believed it. If he spoke that way to my very sick mother how does he treat other patients who do not have the strength or understanding of how to even write a comment.

Any referral I've asked for, she has told me I need to figure that out with my insurance, myself. She breaks everything possible into multiple visits so that billing happens as much as possible. For my last appointment, I had a urinalysis that she admitted she never reviewed, even though it was a severe issue that needed immediate care. I had to make a new appointment a week later to review those results because I still wasn't feeling well. When I told her it was unacceptable that she never reviewed my results, she said "it's Monday" and "you're not my only patient", I said it's been a week and that's a terrible way to treat a patient. She back tracked immediately and said she did review my results and never followed up because she didn't need to. She then began being very condescending to me and even told me she doesn't need to mother me or check back in (and denied telling me to call her if I needed a medication change, as my infection was a tricky one to treat). I again, told her this is very condescending as I was just following exactly what she told me to do. She actually hung up on me during this telehealth video call. She is truly the only PCP that was available when I moved here and it is clear why. The office itself is so gross and creepy. She's cared a lot more about my outfits I wore to my appointments, than my family's colorful cancer history! This was my final straw after her lack of care for 2 years, so this is probably a blessing in disguise for me!
