Ratings for Dr. Edwin P. Schulhafer
3.4
I started going to Dr. Schulhafer when I was 12, he diagnosed me with full-blown asthma and gave me inhalers and such to treat it. Everything was going great until I started getting reoccurring sinus infections. Instead of looking for a deeper reason as to why I was getting them almost every month, I just kept getting prescribed with antibiotics and steroids. Keep in mind, I was still 15 at this point. he kept having to amp up the antibiotics because it kept getting harder and harder for my body to rid these infections. Finally, I went to see an ENT to figure out what was going on. I ended up having chronic sinusitis (small sinuses that don't drain very well). I would've never known if I kept going to Dr. Schulhafer. The antibiotics and steroids that I was put on at a young age destroyed my body. I would not recommend going here.
One of the worst doctors that I have ever been to. I was receiving allergy injections from him that were ineffectual, and I started getting food allergies that I NEVER had before. 99% of the newly acquired food allergies went away when I ceased the allergy injections. Originally went to him due to a severe sinus infection. You would think claiming to be THE sinus and allergy center for the whole state of NJ, he would know how to treat a sinus infection. NOPE! Every week for 3-4 weeks he was giving me 3-4 prescriptions to try and do something for the infection that was only getting worse and worse. He tried to put an endoscope into my sinuses. He made a big production of it, hooking it up to a screen so that I could see. There was nothing to see since the passage was completely swollen and full of pus. He kept trying to shove it up there, despite the excessive swelling. I left there with quite a bloody nose and never went back. Luckily I found a wonderful otolaryngologist that gave me a prescription for 2 drugs for the infection, which started working in 5 days. He too used an endoscope, but no monitor. He sensed my nervousness about it, and when I told him about the ordeal at Dr. Schulhafer's office, he cringed! He told me that no one should ever be put through an ordeal like that - ever!! Don't ever let this doctor use an endoscope on you, better yet, don't go to this doctor for any kind of sinus symptom. I find Zyrtec and Flonase treat my allergies better than any sort of injections from here ever have. If you value your health, stay away from here.
I would recommend Dr. Schulhafer he was the first to identify that I had asthma. He also listens and gives good advice.
I have used this doctor in the past, but was recently disappointed. I don't feel that he explains his procedures to patients and his bedside manner needs improvement.
Doctors here are average at best. Staff at both Hillsbourgh & Annadale are not friendly. Billing department as well. I missed an appointment and they charged me $25. I took my business elsewhere as they worry about making a buck than patient care and circumstances.
Was told wrong information by PA and have never gotten to see MD directly now for 2 visits.
Twice he took my daughter in for an emergency with no prior appointment and no waiting. He was the only doctor after a year that cleared up my daughter's infection. We have seen both Dr. Schulhafer and his associate. Highly recomend.
I've gone to Dr. Schulhafer for 15 years. He first diagnosed my asthma and is far more thorough than going to my primary care office.e.g. they were giving me my allergy shots and the nurses did not ID that I was acutely asthmatic.(gave me a decongestant)I would recommend him to anyone (and have)
Dr. Schulhafer was very knowledgeable and professional. He treated me with respect and knew exactly how to treat all of my symptoms. His staff was courteous and polite and the office was neat and clean. Very respectable doctor, and I would highly recommend him to a friend.
I was not impressed. I had a bad rash on my arm and he told me it was and gave me a treatment. It got worse and I went to a dermo MD who said he was way off and the stuff he gave me made it worse. Plus you do not even see Edwin much as he has his associates filling in for him. Okay place to just get shots but nothing more. They are big into the Capri Spa part of the office for Botox and other money making products. They are opening other offices fast. I feel they are more into making money and quanity not quality of service they provide.
