David R Schifter, MD

Dr Schifter has been my physician for over 3 ½ years and I am very happy with the level of care he provides. He’s very smart, knows his stuff, and is very personable. He always takes the time to listen to me and never rushes. An overall nice person and great doctor!
The front office staff and medical assistants have always treated me with respect and have been able to get me in on short notice when needed.

I will give you the bottom line:
I was regularly treated disrespectfully by Dave Schifter. The doctor REFUSED TO EVEN SAY HELLO OR GOODBYE TO ME! On MULTIPLE OCCASIONS!!! (Like maybe how about some COMMON DECENCY MAYBE??) I was honestly talked down to in, to put it bluntly, a condescending, almost robotic and cold manner.
The few visits I used this internist, I also waited a minimum of 45 minutes to actually speak with him and had to wait over an hour on at least one occasion to see the doctor.
Overall, I have never had such a bad experience with any doctor or professional in all my years.
Also, for EACH of my visits, Dave had some type of medical intern sit in throughout my time with him, which I found rather odd protocol.
To sum up:
Each visit was over 45 minute wait in TWO separate waiting rooms
Doctor was unnecessarily rude and REGULARLY could not even muster a «hello» or «goodbye» and basically talked down to me and was rather cold and dismissive.
I have nothing against the secretary or any interns who worked there, as all were polite and respectful towards me. I am strictly reviewing Dave Schifter. My new internist whose name I will not mention has been such a pleasure to deal with and actually treats me with basic respect that I feel I deserve.

Have never encountered the doctor to be anything less than polite and charming. Cannot imagine him being rude. Been seeing him for 5 years and am very pleased.

My husband has been a pt of dr shifter for many years. He is kind patient knowledgeable and very professional. I took my father to him too and he was also treated with care and consideration I would not go anywhere else

Wow. Tried to make an appointment. Very rude receptionist informed me that they will no longer be accepting United Healthcare. May be a great Dr but his support staff surely has a lot to be desired. I’ve read reviews on other sites of extended waiting period for his appointments.
