I was not listened to, I was informed of symptoms that I supposedly experience that I do not experience, I was dismissed, I was treated rudely for not understanding what procedure he was even telling me I was a bad candidate for (I had to look it up in the car), and was told that I just didn't want to put in the effort to resolve an issue that I have been battling for years. When I asked about appropriate next steps, his response was, "whatever you want to do". I left upset, defeated, and incredibly frustrated.

The only negative portion of the appointment was that I had to wait a good hour before I saw Dr. Boorstein. I had diagnostic tests done which went quickly but then had to sit in the exam for an hour before seeing the doctor.

Dr Boorstein was great as always! I was really impressed with Anna who did the whole "1 or 2, 2 or 3" thing. She was exceptionally nice and friendly.

Good doctor, but a 5 minute procedure took 1 and a half hours to do. Just seemed long.
