So rude even to her staff, non stop yelling and use of degrading words. Humiliating staff in front of patients. Think so highly of herself. I feel bad for the staff.

She is overly dismissive and critical. We stayed for a while since she seems to be knowledgeable and current with the latest, but have decided to leave. Visiting your doctor should not be stressful. We are loving, caring, and dedicated parents, but if your child isn't developing by the textbook (it was apparently a problem our kid could only say 3 words, not 4), then you get an earful about how your kid is not developing properly and you are failing as a parent. If you don't deliver symptoms or situations in a carefully laid out way, she jumps to conclusions - she doesn't take the extra 60 seconds to collect all of the information you are trying to give her, she interrupts before you can finish.

Need immediate care while she is out of office or over the weekend? Be prepared to be berated because you didn't wait for your kid to have a problem during her office hours. We were also called liars because she didn't believe we tried to call her office in the morning for a same day appointment and couldn't get in. Then got upset at her assistant in front of us about it.

Peeves: she can't put a diaper on properly (our kid had a blowout in the car ride home once because one side of the diaper came completely undone after a routine exam from her), she doesn't have a kind caring touch/approach when dealing with a nervous kid, after she gives needles she always misses the needle hole when putting on the band-aid, she is rough when giving needles, when you are doing well she talks down about other parents who aren't doing well, men are apparently an unhygienic gender that choose to not wash their hands properly (weird, but she did say this).

We can deal with a no-nonsense, no sugarcoating, and blunt, matter of fact approach, but she is beyond that and is plain unprofessional.

Listen to what people here are saying. The rudeness, the belittling, the interupting are all true. Ive never had to interrupt a dr before her and say im not here to argue. Wouldnt believe anything i said. Made me repeat myself. Seemed to have it out for single mothers. Nothing good to say about her. Was so fake when speaking to my child after talking to me. Cuts me off and dismisses my concerns and then the final straw was when she said she was not only delayed but severly delayed. Repeating that over and over and blaming me. I can take a no nonsense bedside manor. This was beyond that. I dont care how well she knows her stuff she should not be a dr. Retire.

***The rudest doctor we have ever seen, she just does not listen to her clients and has an attitude problem. Maybe she is capable or very knowledgeable, but does that matter when you do not listen to your client's problem. Always afraid of her passing judgement on her clients***

My girls have been with Dr Fierestein for 16 & 12 years. We will not go to another. I have been scolded by her too. I appreciate her telling me like it is. When I left my ex she was there for me and my girls. They were babies then. She went above and beyond every time! Her bedside manner is what I appreciate. She doesn’t sugar coat it and helps me do what’s best for my girls! She loves her patients and is there for them not us parents. She isn’t for everyone and it’s your right to go elsewhere. I appreciate her for not always prescribing drugs unless absolutely needed. My older daughter will miss her when she needs to move on at 18.

She has been Dr. to my both of my boys since Day 0. Our oldest will be 12 this summer, our youngest will be 12.
Show up prepared to explain why you're there, keep your answers short and to the point. She's not writing your kid's life story, so any long drawn-out, overly detailed answer is going to be met with succinct abruptness. Your kid's not the first she's seen, or the first she's given a needle to, or the first time she's seen a kid with a bump on his or her head. She problee literally sees a bazillion kids a day and your child is not anymore special than any other people's child(ren) on here or in her patient "roster". So, while you'd like to explain every detail or wait for your child to calm down, the reality is you're just stealing time from every other patient.. CHILD.. that's there to see her. Prepare your kids and parent with common sense.
My kids will miss her, we will miss her when it's time to move on.

Rudest doctor ever. Took my 11 year old niece there to get checked up because she was feeling extremely tired lately, all she did was dismiss the situation and tell me that she’s almost a teenager and they always sleep 11 hours a day.....?! She also tried to push Yaz, birth control on her when she’s still a child?????! Absolutely ridiculous.

Dr. Feierstein has been my children's doctor now for 2.5 years and I can't do it any more, I am looking for a new doctor. I leave every appointment unbelievably frustrated and almost in tears! I have anxiety (I don't usually struggle with anxiety) every time an appointment is coming up because I dread the judgement and belittling I get from her each time. I am a nurse. I am knowledgable of medical terminology and assessments. However, I have never been made to feel so small and insignificant as I do when talking to her. She is rude, dismissive, judgmental, overbearing and jumps to conclusions about my parenting choices. She regularly interrupts and make assumptions with what I am trying to say. I bring up concerns and she will simply interrupt, make up an excuse as to why my concerns are not valid and then move on. I have left her office and gone straight to another doctor who has then diagnosed said issues with my children. She seems to have a check list and nothing can veir

Her time is more valuable than my kids. Been there for 11 years too long. No longer have to put up with her rudeness.

I have taken my kids to Dr. Feierstein for well over 12 years. Yes she can be a little harsh, but she has listened to me when I had a concern and I appreciate that. My kids are past the pediatrician stage now and we will miss her.
