Dr. Newman has been more than caring and concerned about the welfare of my daughter. He has seen her promptly, and has such understanding and compassion about her problems. I would recommend him to anyone who needed a doctor.

the first time i met this obnoxious MD many years ago, he said he became a doctor to make a million dollars. He doesnt care about patients, will sign any orders or give you what ever you ask for without even looking at the patient.

Is it possible to rate less than one star? This doctor is a joke and his office staff is worse. I'll give two instances in which they were awful:

1. My husband and I had been trying to have children. My husband went in to the office to get checked. The office knew exactly why he was there and, instead of Dr. Newman, in came a PA and an intern that he didn't know. So now my husband is explaining these very personal issues with two random people. How uncomfortable do you think it would be to have two random people touch your junk? And then after they complete their "exam", they let you know the doctor will be in. Who the hell are you then? And then Dr. Newman never came in. Hello? Is anyone working here?

2. After Dr. Newman put my husband on disability, we went home and filled out the paperwork. We faxed the information to Dr. Newman's office and told them that they still needed to fill out the Physician's Certificate. The "office manager" told us that Dr. Newman did not fill the form out online.

Okay, no biggie, when can I pick up the hard copy or when can you mail the hard copy out?
Oh, well, we don't have any and I ordered some online over three months ago and they haven't come in. But you can drive to the local EDD office and drop it off to us.

Are you freaking kidding me?!? Why do I need to do your job for you? So my husband (who's disabled) drives to the EDD office and dropped off the forms plus an extra SIX copies so that maybe their other patients don't have to go through this. So Dr. Newman signs the form and charges us $25...ummm, can I charge you for the damn gas and time it took to get the forms that YOUR office manager should have done?? Also, thankfully I read the form before it went out because they didn't fill all the required information in. You know, like his name, SSN, and the diagnosis code!!

By the way, I ordered some of the EDD forms online and received them within six days. Get a new office manager and maybe some new staff members...better yet...go somewhere else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Newman for many years, and I will no longer take my family to see him. Many times I have overlooked the incompetence of his staff because we genuinely like the Dr. But these days even if I have specifically stated when making my appointment that I wanted to see the Dr, we only ever see the PA. Gross errors, lack of attention to details, medication errors and just plain incompetence will not only complicate any condition a patient may have but can ultimately cause death. I cannot allow this to happen to my family. It's unfortunate, but Dr. Newman may never know why a family that has been seeing him since before he opened up as Cardinal Medical will no longer be seen there.
