07/19/2024 |
Dr. Stoff did a better job listening than most physicians I see. I have a complicated medical case and sometimes doctors can be dismissive of symptoms and problems they don't see often. Dr. Stoff was the opposite. He did an excellent job discussing my symptoms with me without dismissing what I'm experiencing. He even went above and beyond what most doctors are willing to do and did some additional research. He communicated with me promptly after he did and proposed a medication to help with some of my difficult to control symptoms. I was very pleased with the whole experience. I wish every doctor was more like Dr. Stoff! Thank you!!! |

MD was insensitive to a recent hospitalization I had experienced. When I shared some information his response was "well you are old". Of that I am awarediscussion of continued problem that he had frozen x 2 resulted in saying it could be removed. I could come back and see one of the PA's who work with him. I declined. Finally, the other problem I have had for three years that has not responded to rx offered was discussed. I had had a podiatrist intervene to remove a mail x two since last visit. Offer of lamasil was rediscussed. When asked about down side and possible problems with it, his presentation of side effects were not credible to me, he struggled to come up with numbers. Conversation ended with him suggesting I f/u with my PCP who " can look at the whole problem".A very disappointing encounter. I do not plan to return. |

Dr. Stoff was recomended to me by a PA. I was VERY UNHAPPY with the Dr. I was seeing, or rather not seeing. Dr. Stoff was very easy to talk to.
