Dr. Richard S Lebovicz, MD

I wish I had read these reviews - he was an ok dr with me but again his office staff was HORRENDOUS - AND his office staff had absolutely no problems throwing the dr under the bus telling me that they were only the messengers! Here is a copy of my review from facebook -

Not sure if it's the dr or that lady he's got working for him but one or both need to learn how to work with people - I have multiple issues going on went to see the dr for a hand issue - was told surgery would be scheduled - this was back sept 5 we are at sept 30 surgery STILL is not scheduled - had me taking acetaminophen with ibuprofen for swelling and pain which didn't work the greatest but did work somewhat - I in the meantime developed gastritis and was told absolutely no ibuprofen or aspirin - I was also found to have multiple thyroid nodules that require biopsy - again was told no ibuprofen or aspirin - so I called and requested a pain med since acetaminophen alone does not work - was given a script for tramadol 15 pills and able to take 1 every 6 hours for pain - week and a half later I am down to 3 pills so I call for refill - was told to take something over the counter as "the dr will not authorize any more refills {hello this was an initial prescription I am not now nor have I ever been a pill popper}" I explained once again that due to my biopsy and my gastritis I can not take most things over the counter and it was suggested that I take an antacid with ibuprofen. Really??? And screw up my biopsy? I think a biopsy is extremely important and I also think my digestive health is very important. Leaving this dr now before surgery is done if he and his office can't get a script straight what's going to happen when I do have surgery???
