Just a little history on why I have a CDL! Back to the review, lol! My first time at this particular CMD was maybe 2020. I wish I could say that all City MD's are the same but reviews will vary. Walking inside the facility I found it emaculate and everything was in its place. The ladies at the front desk was very cordial but the worker that came from the back was very rude. She interrupted us while we conversing. Other than that everything else was fine. I didn't remember that there was a parking lot in the back so I paid for two hours on the street and then moved to the parking lot. The rational for street parking is because I had to drop a friend off at the Asthma clinic and I walked to the CMD. So I did the physical and all went well I also brought papers to get a blood pressure monitor. Finally I did her X-rays on my finger because my finger was slammed in my car door when I got out. Well! How'd you slam your finger in your own car door, one might ask? Well I was distracted, okay, okay. Okay, I wasn't minding my business. I like to observe my surroundings for my safety. Well, I guess I'll chalk up scanning my environment for safety, it didn't work well. SMH! The other staff and doctor that I dealt with provided compassionate care and kept me informed. It was a good visit. Doctor Lee gave me my results on the X-ray. All is well with the finger just tender to touch, Doc says take Tylenol and ice. (Since you don't know me, I did it). I immediately replied, Trump said don't take Tylenol, he looked at me turned around and walked out of the room. I need to resist opportunities for joking when they arise. ‍ Oh well! I'm out!

She refused to recommend an electrolyte drink or OTC solution when I asked for something with little to no potassium without pee and blood tests first....be real people can't throw money around on expensive tests because they are thirsty! Unlike another commentor I did find Maria at the front desk to be organized and friendly, just totally wrong with her information later on, and deaf to reason or logic. She actually warned me on the phone that I may not get the Dr to order an MRI which was correct and ok, but seeing I had several maladies I decided to go anyway to at least get referred. I desperately need this MRI as comparison for court because of an assault that occurred making my torn labrum worse. My proof could evaporate with time. I will even just pay out of pocket for it right now without insurance! The Dr did xrays negative at clinic. She says "next step mri" I thought she might order it. She has Maria get me a referral (Fri) for an orthopedic hip surgeon for Monday, pretty quick. I was impressed. I spent months finding in network providers through Anthem and my Health Advocates, how did she do this so fast? Few hours later I thought this is not right, google search. That's when I decide to call that doctor because he does not exist on the internet!!!! Or on Anthem's site. He is NOT an orthopedic hip surgeon he is a Pain Management doctor. Pain Management must be prescribed with my insurance, but I don't need that, I need a comparative MRI and surgery consultation. And I need it now!! For court!! For pain!! Before more damage is done with incorrect healing. You can't bring a pain management doctor to court. Maria says this is the process to see someone else first to get yet another referral for a surgeon. Why am I seeing 2 doctors? I need a Hip Surgeon Expert for court not a pain management dropout. If my lights don't work, I don't call a General Contractor or a Plumber to fix my electric and pay them for an unnecessary visit....I call an Electrician! If there is a chance for possible surgery, you see a surgeon. Then the surgeon will recommend pain management and or rehab. I did 4 MRIs, 1 CT and 3 Xray last year with various providers all direct to specialist with no middle doctor or PCP. All in less than a week I had scans.

Have twice gotten a flu vaccination at the Forest Hills LevelUp and twice had problems with what I…read morebelieve is fraudulent billing that's near impossible to resolve. Both times I requested a flu vaccination, advised that my insurance does not cover vaccinations administered at an urgent care and that I would pay for the service. Both times I paid for the vaccination upfront and have the receipts. As part of the lengthy registration process, I was required to provide insurance information. Both times, LevelUp billed my insurance for services I was never advised of and when my insurance denied the claim, they came after me for it. It gets worse because there is no easy way to resolve this with LevelUp. They continually send me TXT collection notices that don't allow a reply, the phone number on the TXT notices does not pick-up and the website the TXT refers to is apparently a third-party agency that can collect but not help with resolution. If this were a legitimate transaction, a issue like this would be easy to resolve. Given that this is the second time this has happened and LevelUp's obtuse collections procedures, this seems outright fraudulent and recommend avoiding this business.

I went on Zocdoc and looked for another physician in my network and found Dr. Liu based on positive reviews. I made my appointment via zocdoc and the clinic subsequently called me to confirm and get my insurance information. Check in was a breeze and the waiting time wasn't too bad. I got all the routine checkups and met with Dr. Liu. She's seems extremely knowledgeable and cares about her patients. She listens to you if you have any questions or concerns. I didn't feel like she was trying to rush through the appointment like how I've felt at other doctor visits before. They set you up with a patient portal where you can create an account and log in to see your lab results. This is the first time I'm experiencing the use of such technology at a clinic and needless to say, I'm very impressed. For the followup, I was given the option of an in person visit or a virtual visit and I chose the latter so I won't have to deal with the busy streets of flushing and the headache of traffic and parking in the area. You aren't given a specific time for the virtual visit, but just a range of a few hours, since the doctor calls you when she has time in between patients. I wish that the virtual visits were more coordinated, but other than that, overall I had a positive experience.

I stormed out because I did not want to cause a seen in the office. I'm a RN and I know what is like to have a upset patient.

Not that I went there three times on a bad day for them, because I went three different times scattered between six months. Why bother calling it "urgent" care when you don't even provide basic care?

They don't even do a rapid COVID test according to the sign boards. But apparently they "can" do a rapid COVID test for $100, WITH Empire BCBS insurance! Absolutely ridiculous! If you are in the area and need care, I suggest you take the effort to get to UMD which is like 2 minutes from this place.
