Dr. Barandes is perhaps the most offensive person I've encountered in a while. He has been inconsistent and vague about the advice he's given me, sometimes relying on old lab reports to make recommendations rather than consulting the most recent results. He has also been unprofessional and inappropriate in his interactions with me. He has insulted me directly, often commenting on things about me that have nothing to do with my thyroid condition or health. He has made me very uncomfortable as a female, literally sitting up against me on the exam table once. His staff are aggresively indifferent (if you know what I mean), and seem oblivious to the packed reception room full of patients who are usually waiting for an appointment that was 45 minutes ago (I know this because they complain to each other). There are many other endocrinologists in NYC, and chances are really excellent that any of them will be better than this one. I intend to find out at my next appointment, which will not be with Barandes.
Pros: He's not my surgeon.
Cons: Awful bedside manner, sexist, disorganized, indifferent staff, long waiting times, lazy medical advice.

This MONSTER saw me a few years ago when my thyroid ride was just starting. MARTIN BARANDES takes the cake. An arrogant man who thinks he is G-d, he spent 2 minutes with me and when I became upset, he ushered me out of his office immediately. He ignored my hair loss stating Synthroid did not cause it when I had paperwork from THE MANUFACTURER OF SYNTHROID stating it causes HAIR LOSS. Of course it caused it. For 20 years I had gorgeous hair.He is so bad he should be barred from practicing and I am not joking. If you want to suffer, then book an appt here and the "charming" staff will make you sicker than you already feel.
Pros: There are other doctors in this world, it was better than prison and it was a sunny day so I walked home through the Park
Cons: Cruel man, horrific manner, revolting arrogance, knowledge limited, staff vile, overcrowded room, spends 1 minute with each patient -- HIDEOUS!
