It really takes a lot of nerve for a GP to take over all of my medications from specialists that I've seen for years. Even though she would like to think so, she is not a mental health professional. She needs to stick with basics and she nearly ruined me. Kept throwing a new med at me and had her diagnosis preconceived. Would not let me talk because she was too convinced that she was right. She was wrong. Run away as fast as you can.
She thinks she is a psychiatrist, neurologist and therapist and more. She is a sorry excuse for a Dr. Thank God I survived.

Absolutely an alarmist. Said my relative had heart blockage after an EKG. Saw cardiologist, who said there is no blockage. Always changes meds when something new comes out. Long waits and you have to come back to her office only give u test results.

Nina Cahan might be the most generous person I have ever met. I keep a good attitude about waiting because she will spend as much time as I need to talk. No rushing me out. Ever. Period. I am a cash pay client. She always considers that and works with me for the best use of my medical budget. She is thoughtful about not overusing antibiotics and quick to try herbal remedies. Good balance of east meets west. She is quite stubborn about what she thinks is in your best interest, but she always challenges and rewards me for bringing food diaries and not smoking. Ugh. She encourages good behavior, yet still uses drugs to make up for my shorfalls.

The staff are very lazy and unfriendly. They seem to only be their for thier paycheck. Had so much trouble trying to get a refill prescription. Very lazy staff and refuse to take any resposibility for thier actions. My pharmacy and insurance company told me over and over again that they are the reason for delays in the whole process!

Run, don't walk, away from this office. I arrived 10 minutes early was the only patient there. The place is filthy. And the bldg construction is so cheap you can hear the people on the 2nd floor walk. I was there for a consultation/physical and they had me scheduled for a pap smear. I tried to discuss it with the receptionist but she didn't get it. Even though I was the only one there, they took me back at 3:15. The nurse was nice but t he equipment was SO old. In the patients room, it was so dirty. Dust on the examining table, torn pillow case, dirt on floor that looked like blood, dust coming out of the vents, counters unwiped. Disgusting. Walls were paper thin...staff was loud and unruly..sounded like a frat party. Could hear someone coughing up a lung somewhere. I tried to hang in there but by 3:40 the doctor still hadn't come in. I made up an excuse and left. I've never walked out of doc office before. Cahan can't be a good doc if she runs her office this way.

In my experience, Dr. Cahan is a subpar doctor. She has failed to diagnose more than one problem. And she always tries to sell you herbal stuff from the office which is a clear conflict of interest. Plus the wait time is ridiculously long. I once have the 1st appointment in the morning and she walked in the front door late and just stood around chatting with people while I'm still sitting there. The chatting was about personal stuff - I could hear the conversations.

Mixed feelings...like her as a person, but I've had to wait way too long at my son's well-checks which were scheduled well in advance. 10-15 mins in the waiting room, usually another 30-45 in back, which is tough with a baby. I'm understanding to a point, but would appreciate an apology as my time is valuable. We've also gotten some questionable advice from her that seemed outdated. However, we do like her holistic approach to medicine. Will probably give it one more chance and then find another doc if we're not satisfied. I like that she is open to a delayed vaccine schedule but that positive may not outweight the negatives if the next visit doesn't go better.

What out for casual conversations on how you feel etc.. because it will be an extra charge on your way out.
