Dr. Erik Maskin, DO

Unprofessional, uncaring, dismissive of patients concerns. Not trustworthy at all.

I had the unfortunate event of having to see this doctor at John C Lincoln. I had to call 911 because I had right sided weakness, drooling. Inability to swallow and was brought by ambulance to the hospital Dr spent 5 minutes with me .stated that MRI was fine so no need to run anymore tests. I was denied my regular seizure medications that I take daily. Which resulted in 3 focal seizures . I was given no medication and was told by another doctor there is no such thing as a focal seizure. I was dismissed and told that all of my prior medical conditions. I use a walker to walk due to a nerve injury in my leg was just acts of attention seeking. If you have epilepsy or swallowing issue this doctor will dismiss you to die. You can’t go without swallowing- the speech therapist disagreed with him but I was treated terribly after that encounter with him. No stars

Was discharged from covid floor even though I have serious multiple comorbidities. I expressed my concerns about leaving given my health conditions, and he quickly and cavalierly dismissed my concerns and promptly left my room. Having Covid19 made getting a ride home difficult, not to mention my living alone and inability to get assistance due to my covid+ condition. Got a follow-up call from a nurse at the hospital indicating I should proceed to the ER and get readmitted, and failure to do so could result in my death! I just got my pet dog back and now have to worry about finding someone to care for my precious dog all over again, find a ride to the hospital, and go through the admitting process all over again. Great job Dr Masking! I hope I survive this review...
