I recently came in as a new patient to go back on birth control after being off of it for 1+ years…read more In the past, I had been on combination birth control, and it solved some of my issues but caused mild long term anxiety and depression. My OB decided to put me on Blisovi 24 fe, I took it for 3 weeks, and developed extreme panic attacks and paranoia. When I reported these symptoms, she told me to discontinue use immediately and asked if we should try going back on what I was on for years. I asked her for an Endocrinologist recommendation instead to assess if I have an imbalance, she refused to give me a referral so I mentioned I would just get off what I'm on. Night 1 of discontinuing Blisovi 24 Fe I woke up in a nocturnal panic attack and full body shakes for an hour straight. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. My OB tells me when I reported this to her that it couldn't have been the birth control and "she's not sure what to say, sorry". She said that there's no way I could've had these side effects with just being on the medication 3 weeks even though there's hundreds of reports online of this happening to others. The providers here seem to not be able to care less about the real side effects and challenges of their patients putting in the work to find a pill that works for them. The front desk staff is incredibly rude, the first time I called asking for an appointment she answered with "Um, ok???" And "What do you need? Hello?" within the first minute. Don't go here.

I went to Dr. Simigiannis because I was looking for a new gynecologist, and decided to try her…read morebased on some good reviews. I had high hopes and wanted to like her. On my first visit, I explained some concerns I had to her. She asked some follow up questions and then proceeded to totally dismiss my concerns and symptoms in a very condescending, unempathetic, and unprofessional manner. She said that other patients had it so much worse than me so I should consider myself lucky. How does that help me? She then told me to deal with it because what I was experiencing wasn't that bad. It was very upsetting to be treated that way. I tried to find another doctor for my yearly exam but couldn't since I waited until the last minute so I ended up going back to Dr. S out of convenience. I had an extremely hard time getting an appointment with her since no one there ever answers the phone. You have to leave a message and wait for a call back and hope that when they call back you'll be able to answer the phone. I finally gave up on the phone and dealt with them strictly on the online portal, where I went back and forth a few times just to make an appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, the front desk receptionist was not friendly at all. The women at the front desk are always dismissive at best. This woman had absolutely no personality, except to perk up a little and talk with the other receptionist negatively about another patient. I went back and spoke to the Medical Assistant who asked me irrelevant questions. At least she was friendly and nice. She gave me a gown, told me to change, and wait for the doctor. I was not given a paper drape for my lower body like is usually given, only a gown. This time Dr. S told me that Pap smears were only recommended every two years now, so she wasn't going to do it since I had one last year. I asked her if my insurance would pay for it and she said yes. Then she said it was not a good idea for me to do it because if I got a false positive for something, then I'd be worried for no reason. She said she had seen that happen many times and did all she could to talk me out of the Pap smear. I was not in the mood to argue with because I just wanted to leave, so I agreed not to do it. I was annoyed though. If my insurance would cover it, then why shouldn't I get a test done if I wanted it? I paid for the insurance every month out of my paycheck so it should be my choice. In addition to the skipping the PAP smear discussion, De S asked me the same irrelevant questions as the Medical Assistant did. Despite me being there before she had no idea who I was. At least review my chart for 60 seconds before you walk in and sit down. She did the exam, and at one point, I was lying there pretty much naked, since since there was no paper drape covering my lower body and the gown was open in the front. That made me uncomfortable but she did not seem to notice. Maybe that was their new way of doing things. Were they trying to save money on paper? I have never experienced that at any other gynecologist. It was ridiculous. I couldn't wait to get out of there! I was so disgusted. She sat at the desk for a few minutes, updating my file as I looked around the room. The office overall is a mess. The exam room walls were three different colors, the paint was chipped, and the floors had all scuffed, peeling hardwood. It needed a good cleaning too. The entire place needs a cosmetic, as well as an attitude adjustment, and an empathy overhaul big time! I do not recommend Dr. S because I feel like she doesn't really care about you as a person. She doesn't even remember who you are. No matter what you say, she does what she wants to do, is dismissive of your concerns and feelings, and doesn't take them seriously. Dr. S doesn't see or care if you're uncomfortable emotionally or physically. She gets in and gets out and then bills your insurance. If you need a quick exam, she's competent enough to do that but that's it. If you need anything behind that, don't bother going to her. You also have to deal with the nightmare of making an appointment with her office and the whole not answering the phone thing, so it's not worth it. She has several reviews on healthgrades and other websites from patients who have had bad experiences that were very similar to mine. I do not recommend her and neither do many other patients. Some words used to describe her that I think are accurate are: Condescending Demeaning Impatient Mean Rude Unempathetic Unprofessional Choose another doctor!

My receptionist was friendly. The office nurse was very helpful and kind. She jots down all the notes, does the weigh ins and any other tests necessary before the doctor sees you and your file.

I'm taking off one star only because I waited about 90 before been seen by anyone. However, it's understandable that the doctor was running behind schedule, which she did apologize the first minute we met. Parking here isn't an issue. It's a shared lot with other offices and business.

Honestly if I could just give Dr. Essandoh and her medical assistant 5 stars I would, but her…read morereceptionist only deserves 1 stars. I called a month prior to my appointment to see if there were any earlier appointments because I was having a lot of lower abdominal pain and spotting. The receptionist was extremely rude and said that was not possible, but when I told her my symptoms, she said I would see the nurse practitioner and I said that would be fine. She gave me one appointment and I said was unable to make that appointment, then she got frustrated with me and said I have to call you back. I never got a call back and since my pain was intermittent, I just waited for my appointment. Fast forward to the day of my appointment, I waited 15 minutes before I was even spoken to, which I didn't mind, but then came the attitude. The receptionist asked me for my insurance card, and I showed her my insurance card on my phone because I do not have a physical card. She then went off on me, and stated, "You did this the last time," Mind you, I didn't even remember because it had been 2 years since I had an appointment. She went on saying, "next time you need to bring a physical card," and I politely said, "okay." But then, she kept harping on saying stuff like, "I don't understand why people have it on their phone...not everyone uses digital...no one usually has a problem bringing a physical copy...you should have requested a card before you came here." At this point I'm annoyed and I tell her, "if that's the case when you called me to remind me of my appointment, you should have told me I needed a physical copy." She starts to backtrack and smile saying, "it's fine, it just looks like you don't have insurance and they are asking for $60 copay." Mind you, I am also a nurse with private insurance, and I know my annual exam is include. I tell her, "just charge me then," because I'm done going back and forth. She goes, "No, it should be free, it's your annual exam. I'll work it out for you." At that point, I'm exasperated and I just want to see the doctor. So after I see Dr. Essandoh, the doctor asked me to have a seat and wait for my prescriptions and they will call me for my prescriptions. I go have a seat, and 20 mins later, I still haven't receive my prescription so I go to the front desk and ask if Dr. Essandoh had any prescriptions. The receptionist smiles and states, "You never came to see me." I told her, "Dr. Essandoh, specifically asked me to have a seat and would be told I would be called when the prescriptions were ready." She just said to me, "here." No apology, nothing. I really like Dr. Essandoh, but I do not appreciate her passive aggressive receptionist. My whole interaction with this woman was unprofessional and I do not appreciate being treated that way. I work in the same medical field, and I know that is not how you treat patients. I hope the receptionist learns to do better because I can only imagine how she treats people without insurance.

They don't have great equipment to do ultrasounds, they don't fill correctly the summary visit and when you ask to see the full summary of the visit on your chart they got mad and I can go on and on. The huge and most important red flag was that I wanted to complain with the doctor about the lack of service and that I feel very dismissive about my concerns and the doctor start yelling me over the phone, didn't let me talk and to finish he hang up the call to me saying " I hope no one see you in another practice) and refuses to continue my follow up appointment (oh by the way and I never see Dr. Beim their managers put that Dr. to call me I see Dr. Gary) he is not open to hear that their stuff is horrible because he also is a horrible person no wonder why. Is INSANE how they treat you as patient the lack of empathy and professionalism of the doctor he had a very nasty demeanor. Horrible, Horrible service is all I can say. PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
