Awesome Doctor! Smart, through, caring and consistent...., Oct 14, 2010 This is an amazing women and Doctor. She truly cares about your child. As a parent she doesn't just write you off but truly listens to your concerns. She helped me through some tough times with my daughters. I would follow this Doctor anywhere!

Laziest staff I have ever experienced. No care for patients, just money..., Mar 23, 2012 There is a dark underbelly to the medical profession and never have I seen it so blatantly as in this office. My mother was in Dr. Greenberg's care. I would have to call the office day after day after day to get the simplest things accomplished. It took me a week to get the office to fax over the proper documentation so we could get oxygen. Over a week to get the staff to get a pre-approval on a prescription. Dr. Greenberg herself obviously does not know the laws governing her own profession in NJ because the scripts she wrote for my mothers pain meds were unacceptable so I had to drive back to the office to get corrected scripts. My mother was too weak to handle chemotherapy but they gave it to her anyway and it put her in the hospice wing of the hospital. Before I called an ambulance the day after her chemo I called the office, told them I was terrified, didn't know what to do and I needed to speak with one of the doctors or nurses. I was told a nurse would call me back immediately. After two hours I called 911 and while I waited for them to arrive the office called me about a referral from the home health nurse. When I told her I was taking mom to the hospital she said "If you have that kind of problem you should call us directly" I told her I had over two hours ago and I couldn't wait for her useless staff any longer. If you use this office, become an expert on cancer and be prepared to do all the work yourself. These people are useless to the nth degree!!!! Due to their laziness, and their lack of care or concern, I am sitting waiting for my mother to die 6 weeks after her diagnosis. The only doctor there worth her salt is Dr. LaNatra and if she were smart she would branch out on her own and hire a competent staff. |

Mole removal, very bad experience.terrible scarring and pain..., Mar 9, 2012 told me I needed 4 moles removed without offering any other options. He left me with 15 stitches in my leg, 8 in my back and 2 in my neck. Did not communicate to me what was happening during procedure. Due to severity of wound left on my leg, I could not walk for a week and am still suffering. Incisions were sloppy and stitches were not done properly. Never makes eye contact and types on his computer during the whole visit. Talked about himself and his political agendas throughout the surgical procedure. Did not make me aware of the type of wound that I would be caring for afterward. I am left with horrific scarring. Do not allow this doctor to perform any sort of surgical procedure on you. |

Excelent plastic surgeon performing unique plastic surgery operations..., Mar 3, 2012 I have been under Dr. Krakovsky care last year and this is the best experience that I had with any doctors in my life. He corrected problem that I had after my previous surgery with the other doctor and his job mad me absolutely happy. |

Horrible experience! The doc's office seems to prey on unsuspecting old patients......, Jan 9, 2012 Horrible experience! The doc's office seems to prey on unsuspecting old patients who get referred to him by their primary care physicians. I am 73 years old and my visit which is covered by Medicare and Medical ended up being billed for $225!!! for a half an hour visit. Well, the eye pressure was checked. The insurance didn't pay for $134.90 out of this amount. The office failed to warn that they don't take Medical and about the deductible on Medicare. When asked, I was assured that the visit will be covered. Anyway - now they threaten to turn the whole thing to the collections. Shameless! I live on a limited income of about $600 a month and can't afford to pay that much for a visit. The attempts to negotiate the bill have always ended up with the inability of his office to get the right info about the Medical. But this is not all. During the visit the doc kept pushing his glasses and contacts and was very irritated when we politely rejected the offers. Very awkward. It feels like they are trying to survive at the cost of the most vulnerable. I would never go there again. |

EXCEEDINGLY GIFTED, PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE - ..., Dec 30, 2011 I have been a patient of Dr. Rutstein's for over a year and find him to be a GREAT doctor, exceedingly gifted in his field. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to managing complicated cases (i.e. multiple disorders, disorders in addition to other medical conditions). He is incredibly educated in regards to medications AND their side effects. He has no problems in answering any questions or addressing any concerns you may have. If a particular side effect is a concern for you (i.e. weight gain, drowsiness) he does his best to find alternatives. He is very personable, which is rare, as generally psychiatrists tend to be very clinical. He spends a good amount of time with you, never making you feel rushed. He listens, asks questions, and asks your thoughts on things before he gives you his take. In my experience, he is not just concerned about making an illness or situation manageable, but in truly improving a patient's quality of life. His staff is friendly and very helpful. You can definitely tell both Dr. Rutstein and his staff enjoy what they do. I happily recommend him to anyone looking. |
