I went to see Dr Zemel on 05/21 for insurance evaluation by Allstate. When you entered the office there was nobody at the front desk. I was waiting for 25 minutes when finally somebody showed up. She told me she has to work in the front and the back with the doctor too.
When I was called in the doctor was very rude and obnoxious. He didn't even get up to greet me. He was just sitting in the corner like a goat. He introduced himself as Dr Zemel and asked me what is my name. I said Gabriel. He replied: Gabriel what! You don't have a last name? He shouldn't have asked for my name since he had my paperwork front of him.
This doctor doesn't know the etiquette to shake hand with the patient when he introduces himself or he just very prejudice since I'm not an orthodox jew, like himself. After this horrible introduction he asked me so many ridiculous questions. When I tried to explain my problem he always interrupted me. He said he is not interested in my stories.
He was questioning how come after so many treatments from my doctor I'm still not getting better. He just said he will cut me down, since I'm not getting better. I tried to explain my back is getting better, but my arm still not functioning to the full capability, but he wouldn't listened. He was very pushy. He said after 1 year of treatment I should be better.
I told him my accident happened on 11/22 and that is 6 months prior to this visit, not a year. It took him a good 5 minutes to understand that. This doctor definitely has some kind of problem. To my best judgement this doctor shouldn't be able to practice medicine whit this attitude.
