Steingart Orthopedics

Dr. Steingart takes various workers comp cases. So anyone being sent for a 2^nd opinion by workers comp needs to be careful as Dr. Steingart tries to make you feel comfortable and make you feel like he will be fair and objective. However HE IS NOT. He used every medical report he could find to minimize injurys and in my case attribute my injurys to getting older and not related to work. Even though I was fine until I was hurt at work.
Dr. Steingart is the insurance companies friend not the injured worked. How this carries over to his practice I do not know. But for workers comp case he is just as bad as Dr. Lampert. Dr. Steingart screwed me even better by saying I am not cleared to go back to work but cant work do to non work related issues. You’ve been warned.

Awful! Waiting room time 2 hours, exam room time less than 5 minutes! The Dr. was having an argument on the phone with what sounded like the care of a patient in the hospital with multiple health issue. The dr. was discussing what portion he was going to get paid. All of this transpired in the hallway and everyone could clearly hear! Very unprofessional conduct. From a medical point of view, he told me there was nothing wrong with my shoulder when in fact I found out I have a torn rotater cuff.

Seems like a patient mill to me – high volume processing with minimal attention. I was a new patient, arrived on time to a relatively empty waiting room, and filled out the usual 7 or 8 sheets of paperwork. Waited a bit. Was taken back to an exam room. Waited a bit. A tech went over the questions I had just answered on the paperwork, but this time he entered the information into a computer. I was told the doctor would be in to see me in a few minutes. I waited an hour with no contact whatsoever from anyone. All the while I could hear other patients being helped through the paper-​thin walls of my exam room. Meanwhile I could have died in there and they would have had no clue. So I left. On the plus side, I was given a refund of my copay, along with a lame excuse that Mondays are their busiest days. Like I was the one who picked that day and time; I went with the first appointment date/​time they suggested. In sum, I wasted 2.5 hours of my life in travel time and wait time, messed up my work schedule, wasted my coworkers’ time covering for me, burned unnecessary gas, and still have my back pain. The waiting room was quite full when I left, and I felt a brief pang of sympathy for those poor souls. No way I am coming back here.
