Joseph Hochman Physician Pc

My first impression of Dr. Hochman was that he was concerned with women's health and that he would be thorough with my specific needs and concerns. I found him to be too "comfortable" while performing the examination. On the follow-up visit, he was more concerned with forcefully telling me about birth-control. This is even after I told him what my personal method is. He rushed through verbally explaining what the sonogram showed, which was the main reason for making an appointment. Instead he went on about me being a beautiful women and how "things can happen" and I need birth-control/protection. I did not feel comfortable with his level of comfort with me during the examination. Save yourself the time and look elsewhere for a more understanding, professional doctor!

Dr. Hochman was the worst Dr. I have ever seen! I have seen many, many wonderful doctors associated with NYU over the years and he is not one of them. He refused to listen to my medical concerns, and acted like a macho jerk from the 1950's. He belittled my concerned and acted like I didn't have any understanding of my own body. His ideas and macho attitude were so antiquated I felt like I was one of the oppressed women from Mad Men! When I tried to excuse myself from the appointment and asked to take back my own medical records, that I brought with me , he told me that I couldn't have my records. I told him he was nut, grabbed my records and left. DO NOT GO SEE THIS MAN!
