Andrew Messenger Md's Online Review Report Card

I have never been a patient of Dr. Messenger... however he bought the clinic where I have gone for years. Because of his mandate of face masks in which I cannot wear one, he sent me a rude letter terminating me as a patient. In my 63 years on this earth have never experienced such a rude interaction. I always believed doctors had your health interest at hand. His letter was rude, arrogant, and he does not care about people's health.

Went to him for thyroid issues and was basically told it was all in my head and didn’t do any tests. Went to get a second opinion and it turns out I have hashimotos. I don’t recommend him

Great doctor, very concerned with your health and able to help.

Been going to Dr. Messenger for over a decade. Wouldn't go to anyone else. Great doctor he wont prescribe meds that are not 110% necessary.

Dr. Messenger is incredibly rude. I have been a patient since I was a child (over 20 years), every time I go in he acts like he has no idea who I am. He is condescending, disrespectful and acts like he doesn’t care about me at all. Getting a prescription refilled or a referral takes forever and multiple visits/ phone calls. As my primary care provider he is supposed to be my advocate, he should be helping me navigate the healthcare system. Instead, he makes every process way harder than it needs to be. I’ll be switching to a new primary care doctor. After my last experience with his office, I will never step foot in his office again. Hopefully, my new doctor can help me manage my condition instead of fighting me on everything and/or making me fend for myself. I hate to attack the man personally, but in my option, he is also very socially awkward...borderline creepy. The PAs, medical assistants and receptionist in his office are very nice. I don’t know how they deal with this man on a daily basis. The billing staff is incompetent. If you are a patient in this office, go through every billing statement and EOB with a fine-tooth-comb.

Dr. Messenger use to be an amazing physician when he was in the old building. Ever since he moved into his new building all he cares about is making money to pay for his fancy new building. He seems to be losing it mentally as well. I feel like he has beginning stages of Alzheimer's. I'm actually very worried about him. Or maybe it's just the stress of paying for his fancy building? He just isn't as good of a physician as he use to be. It's sad. I feel like hes just all about making money.

I had many encounters with Dr. Messenger when my regular Dr. was not available. He would regularly make odd comments, such as all fat people are really homosexual. If I entered his office , I always came out feeling worse than I went in. He would diagnose me saying I had a fatty liver, enlarged heart, and tell me I was going to die in my early thirties. When I asked what tests showed this, he replied he didn’t need any, he just had to look at me, even though all blood work was normal. From the previous comments I read, he still has a prejudice towards patients that are overweight. When HIPPA was introduced I had teens on my insurance. Never was I told that my children could sign a release so I could obtain medical information. In fact, my kids told me that when they went to an appointment with Dr. Messenger , he would tell them there isn’t any reason for parents to attend the appointment. The finally was when I went to him after experiencing a severe headache for 3 days, and he didn’t order any testing. I was going to his office daily, I was so weak I couldn’t change out of my pajamas. How humiliating. I had to beg for testing, and had a cat scan and later spinal tap. Both showed nothing. He refused to do an MRI, saying he is treating me for Viral Menningitis. He gave me a spray to put up my nose that he said was just like Cocaine. 23 days of this excruciating headache until I called the Blue Cross and told them I needed help because I couldn’t hang on any longer. I did get the help I needed, and the MRI showed a blood clot to my brain. This was 24 years ago. I have told many people over the years that I will always wonder if his prejudice towards patients he deems as fat, do not deserve to live. There is something dearly wrong here, and I feel neglectful that I didn’t ever formally report him.

Dr. Messenger mistreated my uncle's illness for years. This made his illness progress rapidly causing him to suffer and die.

messenger is very old fashion it is like he is stuck in the 1960s. he needs to come into the new age of medicine.

The entire office is incompetent, never get prior authorizations done in timely matter will think of every way under the sun to have you come back to get a refill . Charge a very high fee for visit ,billing office treat you like scrum . Incompetents from top to bottom.
