"Horrible! Honestly, I am horrified that I was even recommended to see Dr. Fisch as a doctor. I was diagnosed with bipatellopemoral syndrome and was told that I needed to attend physical therapy! Upon my diagnosis and what the treatment would be, I explained to Dr. Fisch that it was impossible based on what my schedule was ,which is why I couldn't attend physical therapy in the past. Once he heard my schedule, he actually seemed displeased to know how many hours I worked and how long I stood in a single day (I am a makeup artist for a company). I told him the only way I would be able to work and go to physical therapy without being penalized for calling out and having flareups in both knees, I would need to be part time. He agreed and said it would give me ample time to rest after attending physical therapy. Fast forward, the insurance company for my employer needed forms filled out by Dr. Fisch so that my schedule could be altered. The only alteration would be for me to be part time which ...
he agreed when I visited him on March 7th, 2020. The documents were faxed over to the insurance company who called me to let me know the paperwork was incomplete because of ONE line. It was a question to specify what my schedule would be like and the answer stated, N/A. So because of N/A it put a halt on the processing of my paperwork. I called the office and left a message. Janet from the disability office returned my call to tell me, she's the one that filled out the paperwork, not Dr. Fisch, and she put N/A because she didn't know what my physical therapy schedule would be like. Other than that, the paperwork supported that I would need to be part time because it was checked off that my schedule would have to be reduced. The insurance company faxes another piece of paper to Orlin & Cohen with one question this time (just reiterating that I need a reduced schedule) and someone at the office writes an answer that contradicts what was filled out on the previous documents. I call to see why this was and Janet tells me, "Dr. Fisch does not remember having a conversation with you about your schedule." I explain to her in thorough details what was discussed and she asks me, "why can't you attend physical therapy after work?" Hmm, maybe because I live in Brooklyn, work in Manhattan, and my doctor and physical therapy center are in Long Island?????? Also, sometimes I get off of work at 8:45 pm. Janet then asks me to call the insurance company and ask them to fax over the paper work to me, so that I can fax over the paperwork to her and put a cover letter explaining everything that I'm saying over the phone, so that she could tell Dr. Fisch and refresh his memory. Or make a virtual appointment with him to ask him about the paper and be BILLED as an in office visit. Seriously?????? Remind him of why he agreed that I need to change my schedule to get treatment which was written on the original documents sent to the office to be filled out by him which was filled out by someone else??? That put a bad taste in my mouth so I wrote an email to the office manager who called me. I spoke to Sasha on May 6 (yes, so this was 2 months of this) who I explained the situation to. Sasha tells me she" is looking at my chart and she doesn't understand what the issue is. It shows my schedule must be changed for me to get treatment & it was filled out on the original forms so why would it be checked off differently on the second paper that was sent?" Sasha tells me she's going to speak to Janet to discuss this matter & hangs up. About 10 min later I receive another call from Sasha who says that she spoke to Dr. Fisch & he made a new decision about my schedule. That although he put in the notes that my schedule needs to be changed in order for me to get treatment, get rest, and not have to call out when I have flareups, he no longer agrees I should be part time and that he is basing it on what he put in my notes. (The same notes she looked at while she was on the pho "
