Arrogant, didn't listen, wanted us to know how important and busy he is, took a personal call during our appointment without leaving the room; could not figure out what my son was allergic to. Would not go back.

I was having swells in many parts of my body and I was at that time working in the USA, with the management of a big project and eventually without available time to see a specialist. The swells used to disappear very soon sometimes so I decided to create a report with pictures of the problem I was facing. My family doctor mistakenly sent me to see Mr. Sussman and the result was a disaster! I am a professional Engineer and in the past I studied 1 year medicine before deciding to change my career so I know how things work and furthermore I am a researcher. Mr. Sussman ignored my report and rudely tossed it on the table! He said I had Angiodema, he also told me to start a treatment with antihistamine!!! I had to wait 45 days to get the blood results and fortunately I discovered I had no other serious conditions causing the problem (Angiodema can be a consequence of cancers!). I started a research on Angiodema and Prevaccid (the medicine I was taking at the time for acid reflux) and I discovered that Agiodema is not healable as he told me and I also discovered that Prevaccid can cause the swells as a side effect!!! How come Mr. Sussman did not consider the side effect of Prevaccid before jumping to his conclusions?! I believe that in his shoes I would have performed a better job as an Allergist than he did, at least I would behave as a professional! To add insult to injury he cancelled my last appointment with him without any further consideration!!! I seriously though about suing him for his contempt, arrogance and incompetence! I was moving back to Europe at that time so I decided to forget this situation!
