Okay, so...I have been trying to get help and a diagnosis for quite some time now and it' been expensive and difficult because my condition is extremely rare. Dr. Bookbinder was my 2nd Rheumatoid doctor to see in Ocala as the first one said I looked to good to be sick! GRRR. (Dr. Offenger I think?) I left there in tears ad it was a blessing I was sent on my way to find a better doctor. However, I was skeptical about Dr. Bookbinder because I read the reviews and honestly...turns out EVERYONE at this office is quite the opposi... read more

Dr. Bookbinder and I agreed during my initial telemed visit to continue the treatment plan I had been on when I lived up north. The proposed treatment was to be submitted to Medicare for approval and I would be contacted. After 2 weeks with no word I called his office. I was told by Michelle that she told the doctor that they no longer prescribed that and she had submitted to Medicare for approval a treatment that I had not agreed to. She was going to inform me of the change after it was approved. I called my primary doctor ... read more

Dr. Bookbinder is a great doctor he knows what he's doing been getting great care for many years trust him with my life . And he has a great sense of humor. One of his nurses Christal is so sweet always gives a smile and she cares how you're doing the rest of the staff should learn to smile. The rest of the staff need lessons on how to treat sick people .

Love the Doc, his staff are the worst except for Crystal I wouldn't want my worst enemy to put up with their arrogance. Michelle and Shawna should be fired

I felt confident after my 1st appt. that I finally found a MD that listened and reviewed my history and after some tests will help with my Psoriatic arthritis. He chg’d some meds already that he felt were not doing me any good and/or making symptoms worse. He was very professional and took time to explain things to me. I am very glad I’ve found a good rheumatologist.

Dr Bookbinder's office manager is the worst I've encountered. She is rude and cannot accept that she might be wrong. The policies are ridiculous. While I was waiting for over an hour for my appointment another patient approached the office manager and explained she couldn't wait any longer as she had to get to work. The $50 co-pay she had paid upon checking in was not returned, but applied to their fee for no-shows. Dr Bookbinder was disrespectful, pompous and disinterested in patient care.

My issue is with the over scheduling of patients. I had my follow up appt. I arrived 15 minutes prior to my time. I waited 45 minutes past my appt time, when I realized that the patients being called back had appts 1 hour before mine. I explained to the receptionist that I had to get back to work, I am a nurse and had to get back to my patients. I was told that she could not guarantee that I would not be charged. I said I should not as I was there. Today I received a bill for $50.

I have been going to Dr. Bookbinder over 20 years now. He is sympathetic and takes time to explain what is going on and what the problems may be that I am experiencing and then treating them accordingly. Since he does not do surgery, he has recommended me to other excellent surgeons. I have full trust and even my husband has begun seeing him for his arthritis.
