Just like last time, everything was ran efficiently and I was in and out in a timely manner. They did a wonderful job of numbing me up with lidocaine ... when I felt even a bit of anything and would make a wincing face, the attending nurse would notice my reaction and the doctor would give me more. I am such a wimp when it comes to physical pain at all, but it has been almost 7 hours since my procedure began, about 6 1/2 hours since the last shot of lidocaine, and I don't feel much at all. I followed their instructions and they gave me an ice pack to immediately put in my bra on the side of my outpatient procedure and I'm home. They will send to pathology to confirm I am ok and they scheduled me for a follow-up next week. I really love it here. I hope I don't have to come back here, of course, due to the main focus of this office ... but if I did, I would feel I was absolutely in the best hands, and these are warm and compassionate ladies working here, and I truly recommend this place if you find yourself in need of care for your "girls" ... you will be treated with dignity and respect and wonderful bedside manner!

I did not see Doctor Rifkin, I saw his PA: Mark Schlegel. The reason for my visit was that I was…read morestruggling to fall asleep, and that the quality of my sleep was awful. I was waking up feeling exhausted and as if I hadn't slept at all, and spent most days feeling fatigued and dying for a nap. My daily life was being affected by the lack of sleep: low patience, brain fog, poor concentration, etc. I did not have energy for anything. I asked Mark's medical opinion on sleep supplements, and his suggestion was to: 'Wake up in the morning, turn on all the lights, and have sex with your husband!' Due to his 'suggestion' I cancelled all future appointments. It was a completely disgusting, unprofessional, sexist, demeaning and not-at-all medically relevant 'suggestion.' Perhaps he thought it was 'funny' - but I sure didn't. I asked a medical professional a medical question, and expected a relevant medical answer. I went here for help with my sleep and for help getting my waking life back, not for help getting my husband laid. Also: their billing is weird. I did a virtual visit, and I paid it minutes before the 'appointment,' as the site suggests that your appointment can't happen without paying first. Months later, I received two bills in the mail: one for under $50 and one for over $200. I have no idea what I was even charged for. Then I received another statement in the mail, saying I could pay online. I logged in then paid the total amount due, just to be done with this gross place. And now two weeks later: I received another bill for that same $200+ amount. I would not suggest this PA to anyone, but especially would not recommend this PA to women. I plan on contacting the NYS 'Office of Professional Medical Conduct' to see if I can report him. At this point, I am unsure if I am able to report him since he isn't even a real doctor. By the way: Mark did 'diagnose' me with mild sleep apnea and tried setting me up with an expensive sleep machine. As it turned out, my long-haired, large-breed cat was lying on my chest as I slept, stretching out his arms and placing his big furry paws over my mouth and nose. THAT is why I wasn't breathing effectively at night. I've been keeping the cat outside of the bedroom when I sleep, and now I sleep just fine.

My mom has been seeing Dr Daniel Morelli at UBMD Family Medicine for many years. I accompany to her…read moreto these visits because she is elderly. I have always found Dr Morelli to be a fantastic listener. He is thorough and answers all Mom's and my questions until he is certain we understand. To my recollection, there has never been a long wait while getting in to see the doctor. The waiting room is large and comfortable, but I've never seen more than a couple other people in there. I don't think we've ever waited longer than three minutes ourselves. Once we are taken back to the examination room, the wait is also very short. I was torn between a 4 and a 5, and there are no half stars on Yelp, so just know this is more of a 4.5. The only reason I take a portion away is because until very recently, it's been super difficult to get someone on the phone. We've always had to leave a message, but very recently, I've gotten someone every time I've called. I don't know if that's luck or if they've hired more people or changed some of their practices regarding incoming calls. Just know, you may have to leave a message and wait for a return call. My mom typically would have to drive over to their office to ask whatever question she has or to make an appointment. (Granted, she's 87 and is not only less patient than she used to be, she also struggles with the phone menu. Switching screens on her phone is a foreign idea to her, and she never really knows which number to press even if she somehow accidentally finds the keyboard screen.) Dr. Morelli's staff has also been extremely helpful to me when I've needed it, and shows they truly care about the patients.

I've been a UBMD patient for 10+ years, and unfortunately the communication has gotten worse over…read moretime. I never received a call back about a work letter I requested months ago, and last year I even ended up leaving two separate appointments because the doctor took over an hour to see me. Recently, I went in for my yearly physical and left feeling frustrated, confused, and honestly shocked by the whole experience. I waited about 45 minutes, saw a student first, and then the doctor spent maybe five minutes with me. During that time she briefly mentioned something called a "Brook program," but didn't explain what it was. At the end of the appointment, she walked me into another room and told Russell (I'm still not sure of his title), right in front of me, that I was "very interested," even though I had no idea what the program even involved. Russell gave a very vague explanation of the program, and when I asked for more details, the only response I received was, "They'll call you to see what you qualify for." I still don't know who "they" are or what the program actually entails. Despite that, he immediately asked if I wanted to sign up for "the whole shabang." I was also told that if I wanted to enroll later, I should text him directly because he blocks incoming calls, which didn't sit right with me at all. What made this even more unsettling is that months ago I received a completely random call saying my doctor had "sent a script" for this exact program- something I had never discussed with anyone. At the time, I genuinely thought it was a scam call because nothing about it made sense. The entire encounter felt less like healthcare and more like someone trying to sell me something. I can't emphasize enough how much it felt like being upsold at a car dealership rather than speaking with medical professionals I've trusted for over a decade. The pressure, the lack of information, and the way I was shuffled around made me seriously question why this program was being pushed so hard. It definitely made me wonder if there is some sort of incentive or partnership tied to it, because nothing about the experience felt patient-centered or transparent. What concerns me most is how easily an older or less tech-savvy patient could be talked into signing up for something they don't understand. If I walked out feeling confused and pressured, I can only imagine how someone more vulnerable might feel. After more than a decade with this practice, this experience made it very clear- it was time for me to switch providers. I went to a new doctor today, and the difference was night and day. I was seen and out within 30 minutes and had a simple, straightforward conversation about my health. No vague programs, no pressure to sign up for anything- just a normal doctor-patient visit. It was honestly a reminder of what healthcare should feel like.
