KARETNICK GERALD D

Dr. Karetnick is an extremely professional and knowledgeable physician. I could not recommend a medical professional more than I recommend Dr. Karetnick.
On the contrary, the receptionist is one of the most rude and short tempered people I have ever dealt with. She was sarcastic, unwilling to help, and dismissive of my problem. When I explained that I needed a late appointment (they offer these on Mondays) to accommodate my 1 hour commute to Nanuet from NYC, she recommended a 10 am appointment. She then slowly began to tell me of later openings, one by one, in ascending order. She made me fight for information rather than volunteering it.
As someone seeking medical care, I am absolutely appalled at her behavior and unwillingness to help. I only hope my family members who work in a similar profession have never treated their patients with the same level of disrespect.
If Dr. Karetnick wasn’t so exceptional, I would find a new primary care physician right now.
