In response to above, I could not disagree more. Dr. Upplegger has been the best doctor for our newborn son. Our hospital nurse called his office for us late in the evening and the next morning he came over to look at the baby and perform his own circumcision--all before his regular office hours. The "look over" as was described above was also done which is routine. Either he or the staff pediatrician would look over the infant and then usually give the go ahead to discharge. May seem silly but is normal procedure and I would expect a charge, probably the same as when an adult goes to urgent care and the Dr listens to your lungs and says you have a cold. Then charges you for that comment. We had a follow up as well and found the staff to be kind and courteous. We too were moved to another room immediately and did not have to wait on some gross couch. The office is actually fairly nice--perhaps nineties decor but nice. It was cold but you cant please everyone. I would HIGHLY recommend the Dr as in our visit he sat with us allowing my husband and I to ask many questions about our new little guy. Unlike other Doctors, he was not rushing us but kept asking if we had any other questions or concerns and each time he had well thought answers and did not make us feel stupid for our questions. I am not sure why the above experience happened but we are sure glad our friends with 4 children and longtime patients of Dr Upplegger, recommended him to us.
