Ratings for Dr. James H. Zeitlin
Doctor Zeitlin is amazing! He is punctual and very helpful with getting me the help I needed. He is kind and supportive and always takes time to hear about my concerns with my health and works WITH me to find a solution that we both find suitable. Anyone saying he is a bad doctor has not actually experienced him as a primary care provider. As someone with a long medical history and lots of doctors, he is one of the best ones around!
Dr. Z is exceptional. He has called me personally to discuss results of tests. I have never had this happen before. He is a scientist and a professional. He speaks directly about the issues that I need to address, like weight loss. I highly recommend him if you are serious about your health care.
This doctor is quite condescending and has zero interest in LISTENING to the patient's concerns. What a waste of time.
He is not a partner in a patients Nor does he respect the patients input or knowledge about her own medical history. He pushed a med that he proudly acknowledged hself to be the largest prescriber and advocate of in the state. I was appalled. The staff are robotic don't make eye contact and treat men w more deference He should be a CEO not a care giver
This doctor prescribed a blood pressure medicine for me which did not work. When I asked if he would change me back to my old one which work at least partly, he flatly refused to. He said, "This will be an incentive to lose weight. I will not give you the medicine until you do". His decision was NOT based on medical reasons -- in other words, my weight was not interfering with the medicine. It was because he just thought I should lose a few pounds and figured he could browbeat me into doing so. Who does this guy think he is to pull such a stunt?!? If he really wanted me to lose weight, then he should have worked with me on it -- not be condescending or deprive me of medicine!
Anyone looking for a good doctor please do not choose this one. It has been in my experience as a patient that James Zeitlin is unprofessional, unknolegable, condesceding, uneducated, thoughtless doctor who doesn't come up w/ his own conclusions when diagnosing a medical condition, he sits at his little computer with the help from Google, & even then manages to provide false information regarding medication he prescribes using his loose pen & prescription pad. Felt like i was being treated as a statistic rather than a person. Does not exercise "doctor patient confidentiality in any regard. Unprofessional. I hope this will help people understand my personal dissapointing experience with this particular doctor & steer them away from getting involved in his quack practice of medicine . It is in my opinion that there is no room for these particular phycians in the medical establishment.
long wait time for appointment. his staff are kinda rude, maybe they have new staff since last year. I was in exam room and could hear nurse assistance outside room referring to other patients, not by name and making insinuations and I was concerned they might talk about me like that
the best doc around. on-time and very attentive with a great nurse.
