Pulmonologists who are Physicians - Burlington, NJ

"My 78 year old father went to him for some issues. Dr. Waksman ordered a test for him to get done. For the follow up my father went and the doctor asked him why he was there. Really??? My dad explained it was a follow up for the test. Dr. Waksman began to belittle my father bc he could not remember the name of the test. YOU ordered the test!!! Look in his chart!!! Better yet, review your patients charts BEFORE you walk in the room so you are familiar with them. My dad was trying to ask questions bc he's sincerely concerned with his health issues but this man could not have cared any less. He dismissed the concerns and instead told my dad he'd print out two copies of the visit summery, one for him and one to give to his wife when he gets one foot in the door at home and she starts asking a million questions. WHAT??!! What professional talk to a 78 year old man like that? Yes, my mother is going to ask questions. She's concerned about his health as well, so why wouldn't she ask. "

"The doc is just okay. Like most, he runs in & runs out. Always trying to push to get people to do a sleep study after they have already done it. But the support people in his office are clueless, and they could care less that they are clueless. No one in the office seems to be accountable for anything nor to anyone. Takes them WEEKS & WEEKS to handle critical paperwork related to the patient's care because they have no idea what's going on. And mind you, they are dealing with people who have trouble breathing - life & death matters. The supervisor there is useless. She also cares nothing about the patients. Unlike other managers, when a serious issue arises, she fails to jump in and take responsibility to see that the matter is resolved. In fact, even after speaking to her, still NOTHING is accomplished. None of the people there should be handling people's medical care. This office is HORRID."
