MIchael August Long's Online Review Report Card

When Dr. Stamler retired he recommended Long. Loved Stamler and so far extremely happy with Long. High 5

Good bedside manner. Helpful with explanations of procedures.

Dr. Long has a good bedside manner. He is reassuring and keeps you on point as to the process involved. Informative post meeting as well. Lucked out!

I went to see Dr. Long for a post P.E. exam. When he entered the exam room, he was asking me what clinic I went to and what hospital and what were my results etc. I let him know that I did not know exactly the names of the hospitals, clinics, or the results of my bloodwork and I thought that the previous doctors would forward my medical records to him. As he put it, his nurses are too dumb to figure out how to get the records needed and it was not my fault that the records were not available. He seemed rather frustrated. After some lengthy searches on my phone, I was not able to produce the information he needed in order to get my records. At that point, he said it didn't matter. He said he would just recommend that I stay on the blood thinners for 6 months anyway, therefore, he would schedule another appointment 6 months from that date. I asked him if it would be ok to call him in a week to see if he had gotten my records so that we could discuss the results of my bloodwork. His response was condescending as he said how will I discuss your blood work results if I do not have your record. I tried to rephrase my question emphasizing that IF he had my records, would he discuss the results with me over the phone. he again said in frustration, I don't know your results since I do not have your records. As I tried to clarify the question again, he interrupted me frustrated and said, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to re-run the blood work?" I let him know that I wanted to know results because if this is a hereditary condition, I wanted to find out the risks for my children and family members. He never really said much about that, he just frustratingly said: "I'll just make your appointment for a month from now." He tried to end the session there but I had a few questions I had written down prior to my appointment. I let him know I had some questions and his response was on the order of "well, ask then." I asked the first question and he responded "no, next [question]" As I asked each question his response was a one word yes or no followed by "next". I felt he was just trying to end the session at all cost. I left the Dr's. office very frustrated and felt very dismissed. I paid my co-pay for nothing. If it were up to the Dr., I would have just walked in, did my own research for my records, and left with an appointment 6 months later because neither his staff or myself could find out where exactly to get my records. What did I pay for? He never even gave me a prescription for more of the medication I'm supposed to take for at least 6 months. Dr. long was very unprofessional and I do not feel I was treated as a patient but rather an irritant.

Excellent Doctor. He is caring and compassionate. I trust him very much.

My child md husband have Dr. Long as well and he listens to our concerns every time we see him. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. It’s reassuring knowing I have him as a family doctor.
