Based on Celia C review I see Dr D still has zero professionalism, tact or chill.
This review is based solely on my opinion and experience with Dr D. On paper Dr D appears to be the best of the best in terms of endocrinologists but in person he’s a unprofessional, rude individual. It’s truly a shame they allow student doctors to shadow him.
During my appointment with Dr D he turned to the medical student and said «I’d be happy if I could lock her in a room and shove all the medication down her throat.» What!?! Followed by him saying over and over «you made me look bad» simply because another doctor called to follow up with him. In this same visit he snapped his fingers near my face saying «listen up» and «pay attention.» Mind you, this was all in a 30 minute appointment.
In addition to his terrible beside manner there are serious concerns over the cleanness of the patient rooms. The «beds» have pillows on them that may not have been moved, fluffed or cleaned since Noah built the Ark.
If you enjoy leaving doctors appointments with chest pain than Dr D is the guy for you!
P. S. Unilocal,when where there be a negative star option?

The review is based on my opinion only. Staff is disconnected worker bees, no interest in smiling or pleasantry with the patients. Office environment, ha there is no environment. The doctor was condescending, sexist, unreliable, uncaring and VERY rude. .Dr. D I’m sure I can find a different endocrinologist with manners and a courteous bedside manner, none of which you posses. Talking down to your patients might work with elderly people, but the buck stops here. Too bad they let students shadow him around, I would hope they would have a better example to follow. He seems to have a problem with women «complaining» based on a comment he made to his the medical student right in front of me. I suggest he see a therapist and get over his problems with respecting the female species. He told me to stop looking for things, even though I was told by my other physician that I needed to consult with an endocrinologist. Dr. D, I am the one who feels my pain and symptoms, NOT YOU, so I would advise you to perhaps have a heart with the next patient and feel for them as a human being. That’s what separates us from the animal species is our ability to empathize with others. I have never been so offended by a physician in my life.

Nice doc but once again the office crew, except for Deb who has her act together, is very lacking. I get a call the day before telling me they don’t take my insurance AFTEE I confirmed it with them and no one mentioned it in the interactions Ive had with them in the past week and a half. Also, when I first saw him no one directed me to the front desk for further info just left me in the room.
