I was so excited when I had my first appointment with Dr. Elliot Vayner. I was told to come back in a month for a well check. When I came back a month later, I waited 3 hours to see the doctor only to find out he no longer accepts UHC Choice Plus. Nobody called me ahead of time to give me the courtesy to let me know insurance changed. The doctor proceeded to tell me and my husband to get new insurance because “him and his staff do not work for $5”. Dr.K was available to see my son at that point. Without even looking at my son’s weight progress, he tells me my son is not thriving and needs to see an endocrinologist, and a gastro doctor. He began bloodwork by him and an assistant holding my one year old son down on the bed and tying up his arm to retrieve blood from his vein. This seemed very unnecessary as a heel prick or a finger prick would have been sufficient. After reviewing my son’s insurance claims, it turns out they charged me to retrieve blood as well as a one minute phone call to review blood results. Dr. K also repeated to me again my son is not thriving and needs to see a hematologist. My son is a happy and healthy baby who is exceeding all of his milestones. I really wish I had better things to say. Unfortunately, this was a very traumatic experience.
