Steven D Zaretsky, MD

Wow, what an awful, miserable human being Dr. Steven Zaretsky is. The first time I saw him I figured he maybe lacked some bedside manners and chocked it up to busyness or a bad day. Unfortunately my insurance company required me to return. He was so rude to me that I wouldn’t have been more shocked if he’d slapped me across the face. His impatience throughout («come on, just answer the question!») was outdone only by his exasperation with my answers («was it April or May? Get it right!») and was punctuated by a disgusted sneer when he all but called me a liar («looks like we’ve got an actress on our hands here.»). It was truly unbelievable, and the receptionist who he brought into the office without explanation to witness my humiliation looked pretty embarrassed by his behavior as well, if unsurprised, leading me to believe that he treats all his patients like this. I felt pretty bad for her.
I worked for years in the service industry, so I can’t stand lollygaggers who waste time and always try to be efficient. I consider myself a pretty easy patient. Dr. Steven Zaretsky treated me like I was total scum that he was forced to take the time to scrape off his shoe. I would rather undergo surgery with a rusty razor than be forced to return here.
What an a$$hole.
