Dickoff David J MD Neurology

Misdiagnosed my relative with a disease just by looking at him. Very condescending attitude. Also put him on medicine for a ‘disease’ which he did NOT need. Really disappointed with this Doctor’s lack of professionalism.

I walked out of his office beyond happy. Endlessly talking to my husband the whole ride home how great he was. No joke.
An issue happened with insurance on a migraine medicine I needed. They needed an authorization from rhe doctor before they would release it. I have a bad migraine. 5 days so far. So my husband handle calling to tell his office and the receptionist was not nice at all. Said she might not be able to get to it today because she leaves at 2. It was only 11am. My husband stressed I need it for the mugraine and she got very arrogant. A couple of hours later, my husband called the insurance and explained situation. They released my medication but the doctor needed to authorize the next day. My husband called the next morning to give them the number to call to authorize. Again, very nasty. Then asked if the doctor could call us back because I had a question about the medication cause my head wasnt better at all. She said Well he is busy right now so he might not call you till maybe tomorrow night. He eventually called and when my husband explained about the receptionist, he went off on us saying that we werent even in the system yet and we are doubting what he prescribed. And he didnt appreciate my husband being the go around. He doesnt like go arounds.
Wh…what? lol Long story shorter. Never in my freakin life have I EVER experienced a doctor with such lack of professionalism. DO NOT GO HERE!!!
So now, head still hurts, still on meds for a few more days and have to find another doctor!

My mother sees Dr. Dickoff and I have taken her to several appointments. Though clearly overbooked and too busy, I found the office staff to be relatively friendly and helpful. We had a long wait, but when we finally saw the doctor his examination appeared thorough. He answered questions patiently and seemed genuinely interested in my Mom’s wellbeing.

I have to agree with the other reviewer. The receptionist who answers the phone is super arrogant and unhelpful. She is not helping their business at all. I for one refuse to go to their office. She says you need a referral to go but my insurance does not require this.

Probably an excellent doctor if you can get past
1. Snippy, snarky office staff
2. Complete lack of organization in the office
3. 2 to 4 hour wait in a cramped waiting room to see the doctor
4. Doctor’s know-​it-​all attitude
Switched doctors because of the above reasons
