Dr. Richard Bochner, MD

I visited this doctor in June 2023 when l hurt my shoulder , l was having severe pain, dr took an xray and sent me to physical therapy, l was getting worse with therapy, therapist sent me back to the dr due to severe pain, therapist suggested to take MRI, l went back to to the doctor and requested to take an MRI, doctor refused an MRI and sent me back to the therapy again, went back to to therapy but couldn’t continue because of severe pain, my PCP sent me to a pain management doctor, that doctor sent me for a stat MRI and found out that l had complete rotator cuff tear and referred me to another orthopedic surgeon and had shoulder surgery in mid August , because of Dr Bochner my surgery was delayed for 2 months and l had lot of problems with the recovery, and still continuing therapy, l never recommend this doctor to anybody

I should have checked on this doctor before my visit but it was a semi urgent need to see a doctor the same day with back pains related to a fall. I get in 15 min before appointment.. fill out forms and then get seen by the doctor over an hour later. Get xrays done and never really goes over in any type of detail the results. proceeds to just check to see if i can do basic functions and then waves me off. Kind of baffled by the experience in general and he exits so quick i forget to ask him if i can for a note for me to work from home for a week so i dont have to bare alot of pain walking on my commutes. Sends out a generic note that I was seen on that day without anything else. I re-email my request since I figure there is some sort of miscommunication but pretty much no response from this money grab of a human being.

Very poor. He represented the insurance carrier, not me as patient… no question.
