I like the PA there but the office is probably one of the worst I've dealt with! I also work in the medical field and was absolutely disgusted and frustrated !!

This is my provider. I have been coming to his office for several years now. I have been mostly…read moresatisfied- the office is pretty accommodating and helpful- whenever I've needed a prescription or a referral, they are relatively diligent with helping and I've always been able to be seen at my convenience. They also have telehealth, which I appreciate and have utilized. The problem is their new location. The parking lot is really tiny and every time I've been there I have not been able to get a spot. This means I have to park along a very busy merrick rd, literally risking my life crossing the four lane road just to get there. I don't want to have to change providers, but the parking situation is really precarious and I don't see a solution. Also something that occurred at their new location that I didn't experience at their former office: the nurse sat four or five patients all in the same room and proceeded to take blood from us one at a time with all of the patients present- watching. Isn't that a little bizarre? Who wants to have blood drawn in front of other patients? Maybe it is just me, but that made me a little uneasy. I hope they have done away with that practice.

She opened an office…read morein Merrick which alleviated some of the wait time because it is larger & she was able to hire more staff to handle the demand. She has sold the practice to a couple who renamed it The Doctor's Office. They went very trendy with vitamin drips, facials and fillers among other things but Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, which was a specialty of Dr. Groh's is NOT a specialty of theirs. If that is what you are looking for look elsewhere. When I tore a tendon in my rotator cuff I was told to do exercises rather than get an MRI and get physical therapy from an orthopedic doctor, which is what I needed.

The staff is often aggravated because the doctor is running behind by sometimes three hours. I have had blood work results lost that were in my chart the previous appointment and had blood taken by her staff that mysteriously disappears. I would not recommend this office to anyone unless this is the only holistic doctor you can find that will accept your insurance. I am sorry to say she either needs an office manager or needs to retire!!!!

One of the benefits is being able to get labwork done while you're there. I asked to get tested for epstein barr because my fatigue and other symptoms have been horrible. Luckily the doctor ordered the tests. Now, with that said.. I was shocked when i was being lied to about my lab results. I assume they were unaware I was given them through my email about a month prior. After reading the lab work, I reached out to two specialists and they confirmed the results. Maybe the doctor thought because time has passed, I should be fine now but it rubbed me the wrong way.

Having just relocated to a brand new office space on Merrick Road, The Doctor's Office of Merrick…read morestands as a beacon of old-fashioned care in an era where medical visits often feel like hurried transactions. From the moment you step into their new location, you're wrapped in an atmosphere of warmth and efficiency. The layout of the clinic is a testament to thoughtful design, seamlessly blending modern amenities with a comforting ambiance. It's evident that every detail has been meticulously planned to enhance the patient experience, from the cozy waiting area to the well-appointed examination rooms. However, what truly sets The Doctor's Office of Merrick apart is its exceptional staff. The front desk team greets you with genuine smiles and treats you like family from the moment you arrive. They go above and beyond to ensure that your needs are met, tirelessly assisting you until your issue is resolved. Personally, I had a medication which was sold out in my usual pharmacy. Not only did the front desk staff make suggestions of not one - but 4 local (smaller) pharmacies - but they even provided the phone numbers and told me which ones would deliver my medication! They asked if I needed any assistance with having them call to check the medication's availability - and, after I'd told them that I could handle making a few calls - they followed up to make sure I was all taken care of. (I must say - I felt as if I were a family member of the staff, with the attentive way that they treated me.) We went back a few weeks later - just to have my son get his eye looked at after an allergic reaction - they saw him right away - got him some eye drops and had the note ready (for school) before we even checked out! In a world where impersonal medical visits have become the norm, the level of care provided by Physician's Assistants Shane and Patrycja is nothing short of extraordinary. Their dedication to each patient is palpable, as they take the time to listen attentively, thoroughly assess your concerns, and provide personalized attention. What's more, they have a remarkable ability to remember each patient, fostering a sense of continuity and trust that is rare to find. Founded by Dr. Mark Haltrecht, this is an office filled with medical professionals who get an A+ from me in bedside manner and professionalism. The Doctor's Office of Merrick serves as a poignant reminder of how doctor's offices used to be in times long gone (although I'm sure they won't take a chicken or an apple pay in lieu of payment!). In an age where convenience often surpasses compassion, this clinic remains steadfast in its commitment to patient-centered care. It's a refreshing departure from the cold and rushed approach that has become all too common in walk-in clinics today. In the current day and age, where people go to walk in clinics for convenience and in order to see a medical professional quickly - that it has devolved into a conveyor belt style "get them in and get them out" type business model where there is very little bedside manner or caring. The Doctor's Office of Merrick truly bucks that trend. In conclusion, if you're seeking a medical practice that prioritizes compassion, thoroughness, and genuine human connection, look no further than The Doctor's Office of Merrick. Here, you'll find not just healthcare providers, but compassionate allies dedicated to your well-being.

After years going from Doctor to Doctor with no results I was speaking to someone at Dr B Wells in Plainview and they recommended that I see Dr Belfiore. When I went to my appointment I waited less than 20 minutes which is not long at all, my second and third appointment there was less than a 10 minute wait. The staff are very nice and pleasant. Dr Belfiore is very nice, he explained things to me in a way that I could understand and even sketched on a notepad to give me a visual. What Doctor does that? None that I've ever gone to. He didn't rush our time together. He looked me straight in the eyes when he spoke to me. I have much respect for him even after reading these reviews. Nothing will change my mind about Dr Belfiore. I will continue to see him and recommend him. What sealed the deal for me was when he told me about the close professional relationship he has with another doctor that I really love and respect. They have the same work ethics and the same diagnosis and treatment approach.
