Stewart M Kaskel's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Kaskel is a no-nonsense doctor. He honors his appointments and has never kept me waiting. He is very direct and professional. He will not coddle you. His staff is excellent and efficient. If you call the office, someone competent picks up the phone and gives good information. I have been a patient for many years.

I am floored by the negative reviews. I’ve been going to Dr. Kaskel for about eight years. He follows up he calls me back. He listens and I don’t feel rushed at all. His office staff which has changed over the years has always been very nice warm and caring. I think Dr. Kaskel is a very good diagnostician Ann is right on target

Stay away! Only interested in money, not patient care. Definitely would NOT recommend

I was referred to Dr. Kaskel by my surgeon for a pre-surgical authorization. I thought he was thorough, pleasant and knew his stuff. I'm thinking about keeping him as my primary care physician. And, p.s., that patient who had the gall to diagnose the doctor... seriously?!

I have seen him for over 2.5 years and regret what I now have to write. I can attest to this via my prior experience as a Medical Conduct Investigator with NYS Medical Board (15 years). The positive is that he is a good medical technician who has a knack for good diagnosis. This however is counterbalanced with a lack of socialization and poor interpersonal skills. If you can tolerate this in a physician, and are simply looking for somebody to tell you what to do and can tolerate the unpredictability of his tantrums when they appear, good luck. He can be rigid and inflexible, and I am specifically referring to phone calls made by staff to get pts to see him, withholding medication refills if they don't, and refusing to speak with them first about it. This just happened to me, and I am very angry about it. He prescribed a BP Med for me which assisted in mgmt, although I was on other meds. His office called me asking me to see him for a follow up. As I was doing fine without it, I cancelled it. I just got a phone call from them to see him again. I needed a renewal on the med as he didn't give me one, and staff replied that he had to see me first to check it. I informed him that the BP was being monitored by a specialist, and also by my fiancee, who is a past Director of Nursing. Staff told me he would not renew the med unless I saw him, and would not speak to me about it. I cannot countenance what surprisingly looks like an attempt for "inducement for financial gain", which in certain instances is actually misconduct if proven. So I offer this caveat. I took umbrage to this behavior. But others may not. Good luck. Personally I wish him well, although the above severely detracts from an otherwise decent professional.

I have just moved back to the area and had to establish a primary care physician and was happy to see he took my insurance. However, after reading some of these reviews I was a bit apprehensive about going to the see Dr. Kaskel for the first time. I have to say that I'm sorry the other people didn't have a great experience or thought he didn't have a good bedside manner because I have to say he spent a lot of time with me, looked me in the eyes (unless he was thinking about something), and really showed an interest in my well being. I had asked if he could recommend an allergist and was happily surprised that they conducted test in the office! Libby was very compassionate as well (the person who conducted the testing). In any event, people take the time to write a review when they are disappointed to help others, so I wanted to write this review to say that I was very pleased and relieved to find a physician now that I plan on being here for awhile. Thank you.

Only interested in $$. Has absolutely no interest in his patients. Does not listen and is not compassionate. Terrible bedside manner. Money is his only language.

My experience with a simple office visit and yearly check up was aggravating and I would not recommend Dr. Kassel. I felt like he was more interested in racking up the bill and adding on services than my well being. He obviously must get kickbacks for referrals and I felt harrassed and bombarded with the constant and aggressive "selling techniques" I just kept saying no thank you but he ended up billing my insurance for things I did not ask for.
