Dr. Barry Herstik

This guy decided to have a temper tantrum after he poorly planned and incorrectly timed my blood test. He was persistently rude, and would have a nurse communicate with me in the waiting room (directly outside his office, where I could see him lounging around) instead of talking to me face to face like a human being. If you like being yelled at for the mistakes of other people, and being treated as a mere annoyance during every visit, then he is your guy!

This doctors should NOT be allowed to practice medicine. He is not capable to help people. He is rude, arrogant and has no compassion for people. I had an appointment to discus my blood test results which are bad and was not given any advice or help. Instead the doctor was laughing in my face like it was some kind of joke. Please avoid as this doctor will only take your money without nothing in return.

Beyond shocked how bad this doctor is. After bad blood tests results my brother was dismissed without any further advice. This is not the first time and I can see from other reviews this doctors practice is playing with peoples life and should be closed down! I will now consider a formal complaint as this has to stop!

My experience with Dr. Feinbaum was truly awful. I have HealthFirst insurance, and needed some prescriptions for OTC medication for my allergies, menstrual cramps, and general ibuprofen in order to refill my home supply and take advantage of the benefits of my health insurance. I explain this to him, and he essentially refuses to prescribe me Midol and Advil, because he claims they do the same thing. As a woman, I KNOW that they do not do the same thing. Midol also has ingredients that counteract bloating and fatigue, which Advil does not. So he completely dismissed my needs as a patient, and as a woman. While this is not fine, I was determined to try and make the rest of the appointment as un-awkward as possible. So he goes to check my eyes and roughly pulls my eyelids and I can tell he’s taking his mood out of me. Then he goes to check my heartbeat, and asks me to lift up my shirt. I give him ample space to place his stethoscope under my sweater, and he says I still have to lift up my entire shirt. I refuse, because I have had plenty of examinations that did not require me to expose myself for the sake of "listening to my heartbeat". And after he was rough with checking my eyes, I’m not here for his attitude. At which point he refused to finish our appointment if I didn’t remove my shirt. Perhaps if you are an older male patient, you will not have the same experience I did. But be forewarned, he is certainly past his prime and does not consider fully the needs of his patients and has LOTS to learn about bedside manner. It's unfortunate he is so advanced in age, because I doubt he will get the opportunity to learn proper and professional medical etiquette....Read More

I have high blood pressure and bad headache. I called my so call doctor feinbaum to see if I could see him today and he was booked until next week. Now mined you he's my doctor. I'm getting really tired of spending $50 every time when I go to Urgent care when I have my own doctor! I remember going to my appointment at 12pm and they asked me what time was my appointment and I said 12pm to see Dr. Feinbaum. They told me to have a seat and I did. Than came in someone to see the same doctor and their appointment was at 2:30 pm and she was told to sit as well but she was called to see remain within 5mins!!! I was so mad😠😠😠😠😠 and couldn't believe that I was there first and my appointment was for 12pm! I have to say that Dr. Feinbaum is not a fair doctor and I will be writing more complaints about him.
