    I had been a patient of this provider prior to his joining Virtua. I think the process of getting in touch with him now is much more difficult (from scheduling an appointment to asking a question), and I feel like I'm just a "number" in the Virtua system. I'm very sad that my doctor is no longer independent and has joined the Virtua conglomerate.

    The girl that brought me into the office took my blood pressure, said it was a little high, said she would be back to take it again just in case I was a little nervous, my first time visit, and she never came back. And I left without having another blood pressure taken. Thank you.

    Dr. Halko was absolutely wonderful. He spent so much time with me, asking me all kinds of questions, writing down all my scripts. He was so fantastic. I love him and I would recommend everybody to him. He was just fabulous. And he spent a lot of time with me over an hour. He was just wonderful. Thank you very much. Bye.

    Yes, I like Dr. Halko very much. He is very, very knowledgeable and compassionate and he's a very good doctor. However, the medication that he wants to give me has to be approved by my insurance and I've been waiting actually too long to get the approval. I'm very, very worried about this. I need to get the medication from Dr. Halko and I have not received a call back from the office stating that my insurance has approved it and I can come in for another visit. So I'm still waiting on that call from the office. Thank you.
