Poughkeepsie Medical Group

I just moved into the Poughkeepsie area and I was in need of a new doctor. I had flu like symptoms that didn’t go away, so I was a little concerned when I felt some pain under my rib cage. (which was actually a pulled muscle from coughing so hard). I scheduled appt. with Dr. Abraham Fruchter at Poughkeepsie Medical Group to see what was going on with me. «Big Mistake! Dr. Fruchter order an EKG before even walking into the room to talk to me about my symptoms. The nurse then sent me to his office to look at the results. I was confused to why I was in his office and not the examination room. I sat there with him while he took at least 5 calls, one of the calls was a woman cursing him out and he hung up on her. Then text messages followed which he got up from his desk and asked me do I know how to erase them. I told how to do it, but he insisted I erase them instead. I had no words at that moment, except I need a tissue to blow my nose. There were no tissue box to be found, so he suggested to go in the bathroom and use a paper towel instead. I’m thinking to myself this is a doctor’s office… Right? The bathroom was dirty, dark and old, the sink was two seconds of falling off the wall. I then met up with the Dr. Fruchter In the exam room, he told me to lay my body and legs flat on the table. I told him I need a hand up off the table since I have a bad back and it tends to lock up on me if I lay flat. He looked at me with disgust and said «oh you should have told me that before, you are probably going to pull me down». I guess because I’m a size 16 and 5’8 and he was 5′ 11 and 200 plus pounds .At this point I was done! I just want to get my blood work done and get the hell out.
I had to go back to get my blood work results and then I was done with this so called Doctor. Of course I had to be insulted some more when he looked at my weight and told me «Wow your weight, you are as big as some Ram’s (the football team) linebackers » …Enough Said No one should be treated like this big or small, old or young, rich or poor, NO ONE!
Rude, unprofessional, unorganized, insensitive, looks and talks down to women that are overweight. The medical group will get a letter from me addressing his behavior and maybe he will think twice before spewing garbage out of his mouth.
If we keep quiet about these doctors, the next woman walking through his door that’s a little overweight, will get the same treatment as I did.

If it was an option to leave less than one star I would. This office is constantly running an hour or more behind for appointments. Clerical mistakes about as well. Once when they gave me my lab results (blood work) the sheet said I’m 80 — I’m 35! Yesterday I scheduled an appointment for 10 am. This morning j checked in at the front desk snd took a seat. After an hour, naturally, I was upset and the receptionist told me I was scheduled for 11 am. She was completely unapologetic and when I asked her why she didn’t say something about me showing up an hour early to my appointment she had no answer. The equipment and rooms are beyond old and tattered. In short this place is a dump! I’m never going back!
