  Worst medical experience of my life with Dr. Brodish. I went in to ask why I was snoring, and Dr. Brodish said I had an infected sinus and a deviated septum. He recommended that I have sinus surgery and straighten my septum. He didn't tell me what is involved in this surgery, the healing process, benefits or potential risks for the surgery, the cost... literally no info except that he would recommend it. He didn't even ask if I had any questions, and I had to stop him halfway out the door in order to say I had questions about the surgery. He seemed frustrated and gave me short answers. He did not seem to care at all about me as a patient or the fact that I was clueless as to what happens in this surgery. He didn't acknowledge the end of the appointment and just walked out of the door. I asked his office manager what the cost would be, and she said I'd have to call my insurance. I asked for a ball-park estimate and she wouldn't give me one. Called my insurance and they said that without the proper codes they couldn't give me an estimate. Went back to the office manager, and she said they wouldn't know till the day of what the codes would be for the surgery, and that we wouldn't know the cost till they began the surgery. She had me sign an informed consent, and I told her that I couldn't consciously sign this when it stated that Dr. Brodish had "covered all benefits and possible risks", "post-operation healing process", "cost of the surgery", etc. etc. She responded and said that he would most likely cover all of this the day of the surgery. Even on the day of the surgery, Dr. Brodish didn't give me any of that info. The surgery center didn't have an approximate cost of the surgery. The surgery lasted ~30 minutes, and a week later I get a bill for FORTY THOUSAND dollars. Flabbergasted, I talked to the financial services center, and they were shocked that Dr. Brodish had not warned me about the cost. And this was ONLY the charges Vident billed me for the surgery center- didn't even cover Dr. Brodish's charges or the anesthesiology charges. I went for a follow-up appointment a week later for a 10 o'clock appointment, and waited from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. before finally asking what was taking so long. They said they still had 2 patients in front of me, so I simply left out of frustration. DO NOT SEE DR. BRODISH IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT HAVING A GOOD PATIENT EXPERIENCE! He will make you feel like he is inconvenienced by your concerns, and will simply operate on you and want to get you out. If you do decide to go here, DO NOT undergo any surgery until you force them to give you a ball-park estimate for the surgery.
