He is the doctor for Valley stream. I feel he really doesn’t think that these are actually his real patients. Hard to get him to see my mother. Wish he would show more interest in these residents . They are registered as his patients.

He is excellent. If you could actually get past his overbearring staff that controlled the outcome of his patience lives, as they refused interaction with the doctor and redirected people to go to hospital emergency instead. The nurse who refused to retire as well as the staff deciding the interactions of their personal private lives dictated the outcome of patience lives, playing out like 'peyton place' Don't be affraid to say what was really going on behind the counter.

Excellent doctor for the elderly. His bedside manners are top of the line. He takes the time to ensure that his patient understands.

Dr. P was my family doctor from when I was 3 months old until I was about 16. While he was reliably late every single time, the wait was always worth it, because he took the time to talk to you and see how your life was going before getting down to business. I was sick with strep throat a lot as a child and had a swimming injury later on, which meant I saw him frequently. He was always kind and friendly, and seemed interested in my every day life. Maybe it's because he watched me grow up, but he was by far the best doctor I have ever encountered. I also found his staff to be polite and friendly, and they always knew who I was.

By far the worst doctor I have ever met. Has zero bedside manner.

A very fine doctor who cared for our family with compassion and professionalism until we moved away.

I had Dr. P for many years until I got dropped. The appointments were NEVER on time, even the early morning ones (I waited almost 2hrs once!). When I did finally see him I never felt rushed and I always felt like he was listening to me. I never had a problem with the staff although I agree that they always seemed liked they wished they were somewhere else.

Horrible experience with this doctor (?). Appointments were rushed and his diagnosis was usually not very good. The staff were horrendous! I'm glad he not actively practicing anymore.
