Dr. Alexandra Etkin, MD 1302 Kings Highway, Brooklyn, NY 11229

"Confused me with another patient (defensive when corrected) and then twice prescribed wrong medication by mistake. Very aggressive and seems self-absorbed. Tells you that she barely has time for you (then why schedule anyone?). Doesn't ask why you came and interrupts if you (eventually) get chance to tell her. Staff seems suspicious of patients but more polite than than the doctor. Make sure you get transcript of the visit."

"I have mixed feeling about this doctor - on one hand she appears (talks as if thorough and professional, but on the other ... ugh! She has: – horrible 'bed manners', – seems perpetually angry and annoyed – doesn't listen and has no desire to (explaining it as business, "knowing what you will say in advance", just generally rude) – antagonizing and condescending on principal (seems like a cultural trait) – makes you feel like she really has no time for you The Moment You Walk in the Door! ("because there are other patients" - yes! You are one of them - but never mind that) Summary: You feel rushed and interrupted every second. As a result I suspect that her patient don't have a chance to tell her everything they need to. She doesn't seem to listen to half of the things you say because she is too busy interrupting you. Bottom line: If you are lucky (and so obviously SO sick that there is no way to ignore it) - she might notice something during the exam AND THEN will send you to necessary tests. And then will actually help you. BUT ... If, on the other hand, your symptoms are more subtle - she most likely will tell you it's something trivial until it gets much worse, And will make you feel like she is doing you a favor... Enjoy! Again - She Can be knowledgeable - but it seems like it depends on the subject of your complaint or her mood. And if you are OK with being treated like a 3rd world fish market shopper - she is probably the doctor for you. Good Luck"
