Last year, my husband was hospitalized for severe mental confusion. Hospital neurologist was…read morecertain this was a symptom of tick-borne illness and placed him on antibiotics. He showed some improvement, but others on his care team disagreed about the cause of his symptoms, and he was discharged without further antibiotic care. Two weeks later, he had to be re-hospitalized because the confusion came back. When I asked for them to resume the antibiotic care, I was met with huge resistance, but our neurologist put us in touch with the Stram Center and told us to follow up there. From that point on, everything changed. I first spoke with Nadine, who listened carefully, expedited my appointment with Dr. Stram and guided me through the intake process. For the first time in a month, I felt heard, cared for and hopeful. We saw Dr. Stram in May 2025 and what can I say? He spent hours talking to us about my husband's health background and symptoms, and, after careful evaluation and testing, identified that my husband had contracted multiple tickborne infections. He developed a thoughtful, holistic care plan that was tailored to my husband's individual needs and included input and supervision from multiple, interdisciplinary clinicians. We travelled to Albany for 6 weeks of 5-day/week treatment. It wasn't easy and it was expensive (health insurance covered very little). But was it worth it? Absolutely! Dr. Stram, Nadine and the entire Stram Team (from the front desk to the nurses and technicians) were always approachable and present, answering our (many) questions with patience, respect, transparency and professionalism. My husband has recovered his mental functioning and his overall health has greatly improved. My gratitude for the Stram Center team is boundless and I'd recommend them without reservation to anyone who is seeking help with complex medical questions and has struggled with the mainstream medical system. My only regrets are that insurance companies don't want to recognize wholistic health practices (so many people can't access this valuable care), and, that it took me so long to write this review.

If this review were based solely on PA Kevin Lynch, I would give 5 stars. But I'm giving only 3…read morestars because what happened to a member of my minority women's group is unacceptable. After a car accident, she was in pain, but NP Eliezer Hernandez dismissed her, documented that she was neurologically intact, walking steadily, and ambulating briskly without difficulty. Ignoring someone's pain is dangerous. Dismissing pain without thorough diagnostic steps is a breach of medical diligence. Before drawing conclusions, a provider should ensure they've ruled out potential injury. That same day, another provider ordered an MRI, confirming a sprain. Pain tolerance is not something to guess at. While the practice has many positive reviews, this one instance is a serious red flag. When pain is dismissed without thorough testing, it calls into question the integrity of care. If PA Kevin isn't there, I will not return.

He was very dismissive of the pain I was. In and decided all I needed was a muscle relaxer so numb nuts gives me a shot that he swears will start working right away. Well here I am 2 1/2 hrs later still in pain. He wrote me 2 prescriptions which my wife will pick up tomorrow. I'll give them 2 days to work and if they don't I'll go to Albany Med cause folks I can't take much more of this. There were " patients " there that looked absolutely fine and belonged at urgent care about as much as I belong in a porn movie. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are running some kind of a racket out of there. Never going back.

I was a patient at first care for nearly 4 years and let me tell you it was four years too long…read more This is by far the WORST doctors office in the capital region. I was almost denied my medications by a nurse because THEY hadn't filled it in over four days, actually blackmailed to "calm down or I won't get my meds filled" treated like a crack head because I was on benzos and judged everytime a certain doctor saw me. Meds were rarely on time until the state law changed where I needed to be seen every month instead. The ONLY good thing about this retched place is Roxanne, she listened and understood every problem I had helped me immensely and actually cared. The day my grandfather died I had to cancel my monthly appointment and they STILL charged me 50$ for cancelling before 24 hours. Sorry I didn't tell him to die ahead of time Roberta! Do not go here save yourself the headache and heartache of this place. I'm happily at a new doctor. You will not be getting the 50$ I was charged nor will you ever get a good review from me. This place is disgusting. I made a report with the health department over the blackmail of my pills and I won't stop until everyone knows what kind of bull**** place this is! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

I've been a patient at First Care for several years. I've had varied levels of good and bad…read moreexperiences during my time as a patient. I think one of the most frustrating situations was when I tried to talked to the receptionist and tried to explain a situation that was new to me (and quite obviously new to her) and she hung up on me not only once, but TWICE, and would not answer the phone after that, when I needed help from their nursing dept. badly. Since then, I had one of the best experiences as a patient I think I've ever had. Her name is Roxanne, and (I think) she is a nurse practitioner there. ( Just aside, Dr. Fuhrman is a great guy, and has been kind enough to work with me and my disorder for which it's difficult to find a provider who will support my medication needs, but he still seems to have some doubts about my condition that I've been diagnosed with for 33 years.) Now back to Roxanne. Today I had to do a walk-in appointment. Yeah, I had to wait for a while b/c people do have appointments and as it should be, the people with scheduled appointments should come first. But Roxanne came in and listened to my situation, and was amazing at helping me figure out a plan that would help me and my employer meet my medical needs (without making me look like a hypochondriac, or like someone physically incapable of keeping my job of 18 years)! This woman is amazing. She is willing to do whatever it takes to support the people on her (most probably) immense caseload. She makes me feel comfortable and has established a therapeutic rapport that allows me to communicate my needs effectively, rather than just coming in with an illness I've tried to "ignore" in the past. If you go to First Care, look up Roxanne. Just don't do it too often, b/c she will become so popular that some other place far away will hire her that will pay her much more - a place where travel time and mileage $ would put a hurt on my budget (and maybe yours).

My body feeling 10 years younger, my recovery time is quicker, inflammations gone, and my mental health is stronger. I credit a lot of it to weekly Cryo Treatments. It has been a blessing to find Catskill Cryo. I've been to over a dozen other locations around the county but nothing that compares. I also now do a monthly IV Treatment with extra Glutathione.
