These other reviews do not surprise me, unfortunately. It's actually sad that someone with such horrible demeanor and poor staff would deign to maintain an office, let alone a medical practice. An incredible physician I know confides in me that he thinks a good psychiatric evaluation should accompany the other physical and emotional requirements of getting through medical school. I have been to many doctors in my life and Dr. Wasserman seems to epitomize that dictum. \r
The staff and the doctor will berate you for any perceived ""slights""; they seem to think they're above providing professional and compassionate care. I had a similar experience to some of the others here. In my case, some simple office procedural misunderstandings led them to feel threatened(! - I know, sounds ridiculous, and it is), and I was also grilled by one of the nurses about payment options, etc. The interrogation she led was continued by the ""doctor"" during the appointment. The doctor lost it, yelled at me to boast about his thousands of patients per year and made analogies to being able to eat at whichever Italian restaurant he prefers out of all that are available. I suppose this was his way of saying ""take it or leave it"". And yet, ironically, he took great offense to my saying that all I was there for was a simple appointment, as if to say so was to downgrade his eminence. Suffice it to say that I had never witnessed such an episode as what they put me through. \r
Despite his having apparently at least once caught a melanoma, I'd have to agree with the others. This guy inflates his sense of self-worth and downgrades the patient's to an extent that is nothing less than abusive, and it's good that there are others here who recognize that. So should his accrediting organizations, IMO. I'd never before been in a position where, as a patient, I felt that a doctor was out of control; I hope none of you ever have to be either. Not going to this guy is a great way to make sure you never have to.
Pros: No pros
Cons: all that you can think of
