Dr. Marjorie D Alpert

Let me start off by saying I am a former patient that grew through this practice from infancy up until the end of my adolescence. I have fond memories at this place that I can remember from the superior experience given from the time Dr. Dorsey was there and then moved over to Dr. Amendola. I am now 32 years old and recently had a baby. I loved this particular practice and my childhood Pediatrician so much that I switched insurance just so my kids can be seen here. Luckily, I got to cross paths with Amendola again before she left! Still such a sweet and empathetic lady. My daughter has been irritable so I made an appointment and the next doctor I remember on the list that’s still there was Dr. Alpert. I saw her a few times from what I remember, but don’t recall my experience. However, after this last visit, I will NOT see her again or recommend her. She was pretty nice and social for the first few minutes then basically wanted to cut to the chase and asked what my baby was being seen for, we told her she’s been a bit irritable possibly due to teething. All she did was tell us that it’s a possibility that she is and all she did was check her ears (which is fine because that cancels out ear infections) but didn’t even bother checking her gums to see any signs that I might’ve missed even if you can’t see anything. Just do a full freaking inspection… At least make it look like your doing your job and not trying to have us in and out like fast food. What pushed me over the edge was when she asked if I had another child, how old, and if they’ve been Vaccinated by COVID yet and I said no. She drops her pen and turns over to me in a condescending manner and tells me that “I should” get them vaccinated…. She then asked if my husband and I were vaccinated and I told her that we’re not. She had the audacity to say “Well, it’s not about you. We need to protect others” First of all, you do NOT tell me wtf to do with my kids. Just cause you’re a doctor doesn’t mean anything to me. Matter of fact, you should be suggesting preventative measures for care because that’s what you’re immune system does- DUH! Second, I’m here for my other child for a different reason. Third, I am not your patient for you tell me what I should do. Lastly, as a doctor you should be empathetic to your patients caregivers choices (because you don’t know their reasoning) and it’s NOT your call or business to tell me what you think I should be doing for me and my kids. You can make recommendations, but don’t tell others what they should do based on your opinion. Totally unprofessional and uncalled for. I have Dr. Dobbs last on my list of Physicians to see and I hope she doesn’t disappoint. Otherwise, I’m looking elsewhere.
