And at my appointment to get the results this guy couldn't even be bothered to come talk to me. He sent his MA to tell me "we don't know what it is and there's nothing we can do for you" of course they collected my 3 co pays before letting me know this. I will say the girls at the desk are very nice, but the doctors here are lazy and an absolute joke and you're better off going literally anywhere else.

In summary, because there was so much negative about my experience here,…read moreI've gone to the Deer Park and Patchogue offices for my hamstring issue and after going to another radiologist because their office couldn't do the mri after initially saying they can, I requested that the doctor call me to discuss the results, but I have yet to meet or speak with Dr. Katsigiorgis. I met with PA Michael, who was very nice, but could not go over the mri results with me. When I asked if the doctor was in, he said, no, not yet. I had a 9am appointment set to specifically speak with him because he wouldn't discuss results over the phone. After waiting 45 minutes, when I was the 1st appointment of the day, the same PA, Michael, basically said the same thing to me that he said before the mri. He said he didn't actually have the mri images and started rehashing about the X-ray taken at the Deer Park office during my first visit. This was a complete waste of time and after 1 month from my first visit to my last, I know nothing more than when I started except that I need to see a sports-oriented orthopedic doctor, because I'm concerned about competitive sports, and not just being able to walk. Why not pick up the phone and talk to me? It has to be that they can't charge for an appointment then. I ignored the numerous negative reviews I had read because everyone's experience is unique and I like giving businesses a fair chance. In this case I should have kept looking. Not PA Michael's fault. I blame the Doctor & offices.

My boyfriend noticed I had a huge hematoma on my thigh. which the doctors there never saw because they never looked. I ended up in the ER the next day. NEVER AGAIN!!!! I gave them one star because I had to in order to post this, But they don't deserve any stars. They could have killed me!

After a 3 1/2 hour wait I was seen by a PA and sent for an MRI and physical therapy. One week later I returned for the results of the MRI and after waiting 90 minutes I had to reschedule-I had to go to work. Here I sit another week after that---it's going on 3 hours. There are people complaining they've been here 4 hours and still waiting. WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS???? I've never seen over booking like this. When you walk in the office it looks like the DMV on a Monday after a holiday. No one is worth this kind of wait. Unless he performs some miracle cure. If I walk out of here pain free, I'll update--but don't hold your breath DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!
