Neil Halim, M.D. reviews
4Dr Halim is the best doctor, you can tell how much he cares by how he explains things to you, asks you questions, and he is very attentive to You as well. I never feel rushed either.
I’m actually not a patient of his but my husband is. Im writing this review on his behalf. Before I met doctor Halim I would hear my husband say over and over how great of a doctor he was. He would say he was very thorough and just couldn’t say enough good things about him it sounded like. I actually tried getting him to see another doctor for awhile because he had lost the insurance he had. He refused to see any other doctor.when his health took a turn, he paid out of pocket to see Dr Halim, and that’s when I met him. Dr was extremely thorough, and with only one visit I got to see why my husband would not go to anyone else. I wish there was a way to give him more stars. For the people that gave him less of a star then he deserves, good luck trying to find a doctor second to best.
Dr. Halim is the kind of person who should likely not be a doctor. He takes no pride in his examinations or treatment plans AND, do not visit him with Bipolar Depression. He believes he knows more about this topic than a patient with the disease. He boasts it is because he has so many Bipolars in his family, a fact HE volunteered, that I did NOT want to know.
I only came to see him because of his reputation, looking for a new Medicare primary care doctor, and I had recently injured my hip. We did not discuss my hip for more than 3 minutes.
He was belittling, name-calling, and victim blaming. In the middle of my history, he ended the visit, stood up, and told me I was never to return. AND, 6 weeks later, the practice charged ME for a comprehensive new patient visit. He purposely did not bill my MediCare for the visit, as that would have been fraud. He never performed a comprehensive visit, 99204. But he DID send me a bill for my Part B responsibility for the 99204 charges, $34. But only after writing off the MediCare portion of the over $300 bill. Is that even legal? I would give no stars if I could. His office staff is like the Berlin Wall; nearly impossible to get through to the doctor that you really never want to see anyway.
I'm a retired physician. And yes, this actually happened to me at his office. Shame on you Neil; you're a burnout.
Just now received a call from Dr. Halim's legal department. He is suing me over this review. This will be interesting, as he is now under investigation by the Insurance Commissioner! This suit will be considered harassment of a disabled patient. The Dr.says I still owe him $34, and to remove the review.
I'll keep everyone posted!
