Doctor was very stark, impersonal and condescending. Appointment was made after feeling ill after cleaning up rodent poop. When I arrived at the office I wasn't not greeted by the desk staff. When the receptionist read my insurance card she decided it was professional to shout out who my employer is. That was totally rude and a violation of my privacy. If I wanted everyone in the office I would have told them. That was a complete turnoff. After I was greeted by the doctors assistant who was nice. Soonafter, the assistant took me into small, congested room and began asking me questions.
After I answered the questions and told the her about my illnesses she brought Dr. Degenhardt into the room. Dr. Degenhardt came off as a smartlaec and disregarded the issues I told him about. Dr. Degenhardt mocked that I researched online why I had the illness I had. Considering Dr. Degenhardt has bankers hours and was CLOSED during the time I experienced the illness my only recourse was search online why I was experiencing what I was because of exposure to rodent droppings. Dr. Degenhardt disregarded what I said and claimed there had to be some other reason I had a fever and a headache. Dr. Degenhardt suggested expensive testing to benefit his practice. I declined not because my insurance wouldn't pay for it, because they would, but because Dr. Degenhardt was pushy, cocky, disregarded my illness and impersonal.
Needless to say, I will never go to Dr. Degenhardt's office again and will file a complaint on him with N.Y. State Doctor's Board.
