Patient Reviews
Aug 28, 2020
I have high regard for Dr. Kushnick & his assistants. But I was decidedly very unhappy with the staff behind the intake/outgo reception desk. Their attitudes need improvement, big time! I miss the old staff, before the merger. The new people are arrogant, run the desk like a bus station, and treat the seniors like they're annoyed that they have to deal with us. My appointment today, 8/27/2020, was rescheduled from 8/24/2020 because it got cancelled somehow. When I arrived there today, I was told that I didn't have an appointment! When I read my note about my conversation with Kate to Ms. Tattoo, all of a sudden, I was going to be allowed to keep the appt since I was there already anyway. I resent the fact that no one behind the desk smiles and makes people feel welcome. They use "you" a lot instead of names. A couple of them including Ms. Tattoo, the major domo?, were making catty remarks about a co-worker as though I wasn't right there listening. Someone needs to change!
