Chirayu Gor, MD, FACC

Dr Gor was amazing! Spent so much time explaining everything including drawing diagrams to make things easier to understand. He eased my anxiety and was super friendly! I'd recommend him to anyone needing a compassionate provider.

I think Dr. Gor was terrific. Unfortunately, I had to deal with his staff. His staff wasted a lot of my time, and not with the usual long waits. Primarily, while being fitted for an ambulatory heart monitor, the monitor was chiming little songs. Evidently, this was an error indicating that the system wasn't reset. The staff member didn't understand how the system worked, and so sent me on my way to wear it for a day, with the system playing error songs through the night. So, my sleep was disrupted. There was no volume switch and no way to interpret the error message, so I wore it 24-hours and returned it. After a week, they called to say it recorded nothing and that I had to start the process all over again. I'll go to a Northwell-affiliated cardiologist next time. Allow me to add, however, that 1) they asked me to sign a form that read, "I have asked for, received, and read the Dr's privacy policy." They neither gave me the policy, nor knew what I was talking about when I requested a copy. After looking at me like I had a second head, the fellow behind the desk said, "Oh, that just means that everything you talk about with the doctor is between you and the doctor." No - it doesn't. In fact, it means the opposite. Anyway, another staff member caught him making things up, and asked me to wait to see if they had a copy of the privacy policy. A single copy that needed to be Xeroxed for me. Later, 2), when initially asked to schedule an appointment to pick up the heart monitor, they cancelled on me about an hour before. The whole administrative operation seems to operate on the assumption that I'm retired and have nothing better to do but wait to visit Dr Gor's office when it is convenient for him and his staff. It's unfortunate that I'll now go elsewhere because I like and trust Dr. Gor. However, I also have a job and children, and don't have the bandwidth to keep cancelling things at work to commute home in order to accommodate his office operation. (Edit) Thanks for the response to this criticism. I forgot to add that when I called to arrange the pickup of my heart monitor after you left a message that you had to change the appointment, I was put in a cue for 30-minutes while the automated system kept changing the estimated wait -- 2-minutes, 8-minutes, 3-minutes, 12-minutes. I put that call on hold and called with my second line and it went straight to the front desk. I completed my call, went back to the first line to find I was still in the cue. Just an utter mess.
