Siegel Michael D MD

"My children have been patients of Dr Siegel's for many years. While I do have to agree with the previous reviewer that his annual exams tend to follow the same routine a bit rigidly, in my opinion, based on our experience, a one star rating is not justified. I never had the impression that "he was in it for the money". Over the years he has personally called me many times regarding various medical issues and always took extra time to explain everything, even after regular business hours. Also, my experience with all the nurses, and especially Susan in the office, has always been positive. It's also nice to be able to reach their practice directly without having to deal with a call center."

"Don't go to this pediatrician. He has been wrong about so much, talks in monotone, sounds like a broken record or robot saying the same thing every visit, does creepy Donald Duck voices that are not funny (esp after years of the same thing), seems to only care about money, and caused body dysmorphia and body image issues with my kid after constantly lecturing about weight. He referred us to specialists and we found out what he told us was wrong, most of the time. He seems to be unwilling to admit or even consider any other views than his own opinion. He has terrible bedside manner. Before my child went here, they weren't afraid to go to the doctor nor needles. After going here, my child hated and was afraid to go here. He needs to retire and is out of touch. During Covid-19 he told us kids were not getting sick, and not to worry. But when the vaccines came out for kids, he told parents on a conf call if a child had a pre-existing cardiac issue, it was safe to get the vaccines. Obviously that was wrong, since even healthy kids were getting myocarditis and pericarditis as a result of the shot. I know he was more concerned with getting the money or not getting fined, since he admitted this later. His older female blond nurse is terrible with blood draws. She couldn't find the vein and repeatedly kept stabbing my child over and over, digging around to find it, but failed. She caused bruising, bleeding, my child to scream in pain, and to become become afraid of needles. She wouldn't stop until both my kid and I were yelling for her to stop. It was a very traumatic and horrible experience."
