Dickoff David J MD, Yonkers NY

Dr. Dickoff is one of the highest rated neurologists nationwide. It took him 15 minutes to diagnose what seven doctors couldnt diagnose in weeks. It was my luck and my fortune I met Dr. Dickoff. Otherwise I could be a criple for the rest of my life. Highly professional, dedicated and caring! He is A DOCTOR FROM GOD!

I come from Florida every 2-3 months to see Dr. Dickoff. He is a consummate professional. The staff is great and the most important thing is his diagnosing skill set. The best. The PA Ms. Hill, the entire reception staff are fantastic with Connie especially having the patience of a saint. Rest assured you are in the best of hands.

After waiting several hours I get in his office and he had two long phone calls and several interruptions by staff and then gave me the bum's rush out the door because after all it was the weekend and they wanted to go home. Talk about rudeness! There are also other things I didn't like but I'm not putting them here.

0 stars!
When my dad arrived at his office, they sat and waited for about 1.5 hours, just so they can have lunch. I am all for lunch breaks but then dont schedule patients at the same time and have them wait! Once called into the examining room, he didnt explain anything.when my dad tried to explain his medical history.he rudely interupted and said "do not diagnose anything, look at all the degrees on my wall, its my room, i am the doctor". My dad went on to say that he is explaining what was said on previous reports. He was rude, condescending and unprofessional. He has 0 bedside manners and did not want to hear anything my dad had to say, and in fact did not let him finish.
When you join the medical profession, it is to serve your patients with care, to be kind and considerate, to be understanding and most of all to be patient. The assistant was then rude and ushered them out of the room.
No one should go here!

A minimum of a 3.5 hour wait is expected on every visit! He schedules patients every 15 minutes, spends 30 minutes with each patient and often comes in late. Office personnel are rude, no empathy for any patients. People are in pain, some in wheel chairs and there is no consideration or apology for the long wait. He is a talented doctor who puts money ahead of patients. Why does the medical profession allow such poor practices?

I wish I could write a good review about Dr Dickoff as I am sure based on the positive reviews here that he is an excellent doctor. Unfortunately, despite showing up early for my appointment today, I never got to see him.

I traveled an hour and a half on the recommendation of a respected area personal injury lawyer, who will be sure to hear this story, to see Dr Dickoff. I arrived a half an hour early for a 3: 30 appointment to fill out any required paper work. Entering the office, I noticed the waiting room was almost completely full of patients who had seemed to be waiting a long time for their appointments, a bad omen. I filled out the paper work and watched as slowly, maybe every half hour (and I’m being generous), a new patient was called. I had noticed at check in that their appointments were written in as a 15 minute blocks in the secretaries check in sheet, another bad omen.

At 5pm, 2 hours after I had arrived, there were still two patients ahead of me. At this point I ask the secretary how much longer it’s going to be. Her response “well there’s still two ahead of you so.at least an hour. The doctor really takes his time with patients” All I could say is “another hour for my 3: 30 appointment? ” Given that I had an hour and a half drive and a dog to take care of waiting at home, I could not stay for my appointment.

Now, I can’t criticize a doctor for taking time with patients because I think there are way too many that don’t, but please, learn how to schedule! You are wasting peoples time and completely disrespecting them by not staying true to appointments! If you are aware that the doctor takes his time then schedule accordingly as it seems his workload is currently to heavy to be as attentive to each patient as he wants to be. It is honestly ridiculous and completely unprofessional.

Signed a potential patient who was seeking help who will now find it elsewhere.
