I wanted to speak to the Dr. during my last office visit to formally file a complaint against her nurse or office manager Laura. I’ve been going to her office for a few years now and Dr. Marina has been an amazing and caring physician. Until recently Laura was competent and somewhat friendly.
I have never been so judged and mistreated at my doctor’s office. The last time I visited, she was very disorganized, rude, short tempered and overall nasty to deal with.
She took blood and when I received the call for the follow up; she was very scattered. She scheduled me for a 2:30pm appointment and each time during that conversation, kept forgetting what she was doing. In fact she kept me on hold then would hang up. When I finally spoke to her, she very poorly conducted the call, set an appointment or 2:30pm but a few days later called to remind me of my 1:45pm appointment. Had I not called the office the morning of the appointment I would not have known the true time was.
Once at the office, she was disrespectful in fact became very annoyed when I couldn’t give her the answers she wanted as quickly as she wanted. She didn’t tell me I needed to fast for the bloodwork she got very annoyed and told me that it was impossible she wouldn’t have said anything. When asked or rather reminded her of my prescription for refills of my birth control pills, she became very short and annoyed.
I felt mistreated, judged and violated as I definitely didn’t want her in the room when I was examined. Even for the prep work, she was rude, short and scattered as if I was beneath her. I will be switching doctors unfortunately because I definitely do not appreciate that kind of treatment. I wanted to speak to the doctor in person but the nasty nurse didn’t allow it.
I would hate to think this is how she treats the women that come to you for guidance, advise or proper care.

I don't know if it was a race thing or she's just a nasty human being. Such a shame because Dr. Schtern is perhaps the only doctor I trust.

They are an absolute expert in the field. I would never feel unsafe or apprehensive in their care. It was easy to get the appointment time that worked for my schedule. Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this business was and how close it was to other shopping centers. It was so easy to find, I didn't have any trouble at all. I wasn't pressured at all to use any particular medications or birth controls. They answered all my questions and gave me their honest opinion on what would work for me and what wouldn't. I was completely at ease during my appointment here. They went to great lengths to make sure I was completely relaxed and comfortable the entire time.
