disappointing experience after being referred by a peer..., Jan 31, 2012 ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... |

Scott Yegel had a wait time of 50 minutes Unacceptable!..., Oct 17, 2011 . I am most disappointed in the wait time. I waited over 50 minutes to be seen by the doctor. 50 minutes just to have him walk into my room!! I never received any feedback as to the wait and when I addressed the issue to the doctor he merely stated I'm sorry. If the wait time was going to be long, I would appreciate if the doctor/ receptionist asked me if I cared to reschedule, who said I didn't have something else to do? My time is just as valuable as any person, so when I schedule an appointment I expect to be seen at least within 15 minutes. After all, the receptionist is the one looking at the calendar to ensure I am placed in to a time that is compatible with the doctor's schedule. If I arrive late or do not call, I am billed anywhere from $50.00 to $200.00 depending on the incident. If the doctor arrives late, I get nothing except sorry and all my other appointments being thrown off at that time. Why is it OK for the doctor to be late but not the patient? If you have too many people scheduled or you can't wrap up an appointment in a timely manner, maybe you should try placing greater distance between the next patient, to allot for the overtime (which by the way I'm not getting paid for) in which the patient will be occurring. So many times people say this is the norm, this is not acceptable! If you arrive late at the doctor's office you are billed or asked to rescheduled, if you arrive late for an interview you will not get the job, if you arrive late at your job you will be fired. Why is it OK for a doctor in a doctor's office to be late for his/her patients? I had an appointment; I even brought in my paperwork already filled out. I didn't just walk in. I rescheduled an appointment for another doctor while waiting for the doctor to come in, upon him coming In, I left. He or she will no longer be privy to my money when I have to wait excessively. |

Dr. Stern is a great neurosurgeon in southeastern MA..., Oct 15, 2011 All I can say is - if you need a neurosurgeon, call Dr. Stern - there is no other doctor like him. I went to Dr. Stern for a second opinion after another local neurosurgeon told me that i needed surgery. Dr. Stern evaluated me and told me to first try physical therapy and that surgery was the last resort. He was so RIGHT. I did the physical therapy and my symptoms are almost totally gone. Thank you Dr. Stern! |

Plan to wait for everything; in the waiting room, or for lab results, or a return call - she'll alwa..., Sep 27, 2011 This is a medial doctor, not a dentist, but getting from the waiting room to the exam room is like pulling teeth. Plan to wait at least an hour. Two-hour waits are not unusual. Once you're in the exam room (another wait) and she finally graces you with her presence, you'll be out in a jiffy. No protracted exam, or time for questions. She'll write your prescription and send you on your way. Need a prescription refilled, or need a return call? You'll be waiting again. "Timely" is not in her vocabulary. Want a doctor who cares enough to listen and respond, and who respects your time? This is not the doctor for you. |

Dr. Brian J. Mignola, MD, is an outstanding doctor!..., Aug 22, 2011 OUTSTANDING DOCTOR! Dr. Brian J. Mignola, MD, is a really great family doctor. He has been taking care of the medical needs of myself and my parents for several years. He always has been very attentive to all of us. Dr. Mignola is very intelligent as well as very professional. He knows medical issues extremely well and is able to help his patients effectively. In addition, he is very pleasant and down to earth. He treats everyone with respect and takes the time to listen to what his patients have to say and how they feel. He is a very decent and good hearted human being. He cares. In a day and age where it is so hard to find a reliable, thorough, knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy professional of any kind (medical, financial, legal, etc.), Dr. Mignola is such a person and possesses all of these characteristics. That is, he is reliable, thorough, knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. I trust Dr. Mignola. He is the best family physician in Staten Island and NYC. |
