Eva S Arkin, MD

"This is my second time having Dr. Arkin as my doctor. The first was after my dr suddenly passed. Then we moved to another state and when we came back I was sure to get Dr. Arkin again. She takes a a lot of time with patients and helps educate me on everything going on with me medically. She is amazing."

"I understand Dr. Arkin is a great doctor, but that does me no good if I can't get in to see her. It takes months to see her, so I saw another doctor in the practice, but she moved. Then I went to see another doctor, but she retired. I would ask my primary care physician or ask your friends and find a doctor who has good credentials that has the time and cares enough to see you."

"I recently saw Dr. Arkin for my annual visit. She is an excellent doctor. She really listens and makes sure her patients are doing everything they can to maximize their health. The staff at the practice is very friendly and helpful, both in scheduling appointments and assisting with those appointments."

"I wanted a good Dr. that also incorporated natural methods and I was willing to make the 2 hour drive for a doctor with those qualities. Dr. Arkin is knowledgeable in traditional care and also offers a more natural approach to health care such as, giving advice on vitamins, bio identical hormones and other means to combat menopause. I have been a patient of Dr. Arkin for approximately 5 years and have no major complaints about her care. I would rate her overall care a 3.75 Unfortunately, I can’t say the same about her medical assistant. I have had multiple negative encounters with her through out the past five years. She comes across as rude and Condescending. This is an explanation of my last experience with her. I have been trying to contact them for over a week and a half now to get a follow up Mammogram for a mass in my left breast that was Biopsied over 6 months ago. On Monday August the 12th I left a message with her, no return phone call. I called again on Monday the 19th and left a message. No return phone call. I called again on Wednesday. No return phone call. I tried calling to schedule an appointment only to reach a recording to leave a message. I finally got a staff member at the front desk today and she said I could leave a message. I told them I was not going to leave another message. She then placed me on hold and Dr. Arkin’s assistant finally took the call at which point she was rude and Condescending to say the least. I have given her grace in the past (because we can all have bad days) but after multiple encounters with this type of behavior, I see that this is a normal pattern for her. With that said, I will no longer subject myself to this type of treatment. I am in hopes that Dr. Arkin and the Office manager will take a serious look at how their Assistant is speaking to their patients. It has cost them this patient but maybe with some retraining and strong encouragement on being more compassionate, you can prevent other patients from leaving the practice due to her. I wish Dr.Arkin and her Practice nothing but the best!"

"I love Dr. Arkin. She has always been upfront with me on medical issues and what needs to be done and listens to me. However her staff lacks desire. You feel like your just a number not a person."
