Ratings for Dr. Deborah Ginsburg
2.8
Heard that this doctor is advising patients not to get the Covid 19 vax. As a medical professional and a human being, I find this incredibly irresponsible. Negative stars.
Condescending and rude the only thing i walked away with was an extremely large bill and 45 min of my life I can’t get back. I was so excited to go to her and boy did she let the air out of my balloon. She was a disappointment to say the least.
She made us wait outside for about 15 mins (with a newborn in late November). Left our 1 week old unattended on the table where she almost fell off.. Had her dogs in the room the entire time (god forbid we were allergic) .. Felt judged when I said I wasn’t loving breastfeeding: she said ‘well that’s your job as a mother’. Was not pleased with the visit whatsoever.
Poor bedside manner, very judgemental and rude. She will act superior to you, she was googling things that I knew. Very very expensive as well.
I was charged by time and she spent 45 min just reviewing the chart while slowly repeating what she read. She drank tea, walked around and searched up medicine details that she thought my child should take. She has medicines sitting on the window sill in the sun that she then sells to her patients. She dragged the appointment on for almost an hour and a half and all this without adding any value or any exam. I paid the outrageous fee and never went back. She does not return any calls no matter how urgent. No respect for others' time. I am never going back.
I left Doctor Ginsberg’s very happy! She is exactly what I needed for my 9 month old son! Love everything about her.
I was so hopeful when I started with Dr. Ginsburg. I was excited to have an MD who also understood functional medicine. Between my first and second visits with her I became pregnant. We discussed my pregnancy care, the prenatal vitamins etc. etc. She prescribed triphala to help with constipation during the pregnancy. After taking 3 doses I started bleeding. I started looking into the supplement and right on the bottle it says that it is NOT to be taken during pregnancy for risk of miscarriage! Every website I have found reinforces that it is not to be used by pregnant or nursing mothers. The literature I have read also says that triphala can be toxic to the baby. I miscarried the week I started taking the supplement. While I cannot prove it was the supplement that caused it I believe Dr. Ginsburg had a responsibility to warn me of these possible side effects. I did write to her and ask her about these concerns and she said that she stands behind the product and named a few doctors that believe that it is safe. If I had known there was any risk I would never have taken it! I am devastated that I could have caused the loss of life for my unborn. Please, read the labels yourself! I hope this was an oversight by Dr. Ginsburg but the trust has been broken and I will not return to her.
I have worked with her in the past and would not recommend her to anyone.
I needed to add my comment though I saw Dr. Ginsburg several years ago. Though she is definitely knowledgable; I felt her bedside manner was horrid. When I told her I was feeling blue and perhaps post-pardom after two kids 18 months apart; she asked me how long I breastfed my children. I tried as long as I could to breastfeed and had difficulty doing so - I ended up stopping within the first year not b/c I wanted to. I felt bad about this - you know what she said? As I sat crying in her office - she told me I DID A DISSERVICE TO MY CHILDREN. Really??? I cannot tell you how horrible that made me feel at the time. This smart Doctor needs to work on her communication skills BIG TIME.
Doctor did not review medical history submitted in advance but reviewed at the time of appointment while she was having tea. She did not perform a physical exam but ordered alot of costly lab tests. Not what I was loking for in a Holistic MD.
