Unfortunately, I don’t have too much better to say about this medical practice beyond what the other reviewer has written here. True, they order tests and doctors do need to run some tests but I think that they go overboard and that they are«test happy” – Dr. Markind wanted me to go for a MRA of my neck even though he told me that it was 99% likely NOT to show a problem! I just had a MRI of my brain and that’s enough testing for now. I can size people up pretty well and they were practically smiling at me when they tried to twist my arm and talk me into the second test. that MRA. True, there is a very, very slight chance that there may be something wrong but if 99% chances say that nothing else is wrong with me I think they are probably just pushing tests and trying to frighten me into an unnecessary test. In addition, the front desk staff is really rude and it’s not just my opinion – a receptionist at a radiology practice actually told me that she doesn’t like them too much, either! They even had me meet with a physician’s assistant when in my opinion I didn’t really need that extra visit – the P.A. didn’t do anything that Dr. Markind had already done! To give them the benefit of a doubt, they may care to some degree about their patients but they also really compromise on ethics – you’re better off going elsewhere!

Complete scam artists in my humble opinion. As previous reviewers have stated in my opinion this a poorly run rude almost criminally bad practice. I think I called before my appointment to speak to a sleep specialist, and as i remember I was quoted a fee of $ 200 since the practice was not in network for me. Upon arrival I was greeted by in my opinion the rudest front office staff I have ever encountered and a clipboard was thrown in my face with little regard. Afterward I shuffled to a young sleep specialist who in my opinion was of little to no help and talked to me for about 20 minutes before recommending me to the people downstairs. At this point it was in my opinion the biggest waste of $ 200 dollars however I would never written a review if my personal experience had ended here. Upon walking out to the front office staff to pay my bill I was given a bill of $ 440! Over double what I was I quoted on the phone! I have never gotten so upset at a front office staff and paid only the $ 200 I was quoted on the phone which they seemed to agree to at the time. However I was billed the other $ 240 after I left and only paid when I was threatened with a collections letter. In my opinion I would advise any patients looking for a neurologist to avoid this practice at all costs.

Dr. Greco(and this entire office– including all levels of staff) are taking money, gifts, meals, etc from pharamceutical companies. His speaking fees alone are outrageous and then the patient is given the medication he is being paid to speak about. When I took my elderly parent here, the main point was unecessary tests. I know this since I now go to a solo neurologist who did not order anything ridiculous. We were not pressured to have every little thing tested since it was not relevant nor would it have given any helpful information regarding treatment. It is a completely different experience including how wonderful our new neurologist’s office staff is. Steer clear of Associated Neurologits. Dr. Greco did not return a single phone call in all the years we went there and completely ignored my visit to the office to give him x-rays that another doctor said I should have him look at. Completely ignored! The appointments were sometimes scheduled as being with Dr. Greco and instead my parent was seen by a Physician Assistant and charged for a visit with the doctor. At other times, she was seen by a nurse when her appointment was made with the doctor. Money is his driving force. Period. You are unimportant and so are the family members who care about you. A complete disgrace. This is not good medicine or the way to treat patients. Just calling this office is a joke. Why would a neurology office have a phone answering menu consisting of so many items? A very healthy person would have trouble navigating a phone call with this office.
