I'm disgusted I've wasted so much money in debt up to my eye balls in medical bills and lab bills and whatever is happening to my health and body continues to get worse. To the point I really wonder if I'll be here for my daughter's 10th birthday. The medical care sys as a whole in Albany ny, should be illegal. I grew up in the 80's before this conglomerate death machine they call healthcare existed. And doctors got to the bottom of things and fixed you . I can't afford to take more time from work my relationship is falling apart and each day i push forward not knowing how I'm going to get better or even an answer on what is wrong but hey maybe that rheumetology appointment in august i been waiting for since January will help . If you just moved to the area I suggest you run . Going to the er by ambulance? Don't worry you'll foot the bill and get dumped in a waiting room chair and sit there for 7 hours. Then sit in back for another 5 . Do that a few times it's fun . Abnormal blood work and symptoms no problem as long as your not in immediate cardiac arrest go chill you'll be ok .

I had developed cold/flu symptoms on April 23. I contacted my providers office the next day (…read moreMonday), to get an appointment to see my provider. Of course, you cannot speak to anyone at the office, they transfer you to a call center. Meanwhile I am feeling sick, bad dry cough and lost my voice completely. They scheduled me to have a video appointment on April 25 with someone I don't know, who called in a script for prednisone. I continue to feel sick all week. Meanwhile I have administered 2 COVID tests to ensure its not that-tested negative both times. On april 28, I again call -get the call center again, who tell me the first appointment I can get is at 7 am on May 3. I do receive a call back from a nurse-who says she'll '' speak with "someone". The next contact I have is with CVS, who tell me someone has called in a script for a Z-pac. This without anyone seeing me at all. I take the z-pac, do feel a little better and arrive at my appointment today, May 3 at 7 am. Upon arrival I am told there is no appointment and am referred to Urgent Care!! This bad review is not about my provider, its about the incompetence of the management of St peters family medicine, St Peters Health partners, and Trinity. I could not in good conscience recommend this organization to anyone. This is disappointing because I have been a patient here for well over 30 years, but now believe I have to look for a new practice simply to take care of my own well being!

Yeah, this place has its good and its bad. In my personal experience, which is, of course, all I…read morecan talk about with any degree of certainty, the good is very good and the bad is pretty bad. The good, in my experience, is largely my NP. She's excellent, communicates well, makes things very clear to me, and I can consider her "my NP", in that see her every time I go, unlike the doctor-go-round I rode at the last practice I used where I never saw the same doctor twice in a row. I don't know if that's how they usually do things at OMC; I just made it clear to whomever I saw the first couple of times I went there that that's why I was switching practices and what I was looking for, and whether because I said that or because that's just how they do things there, they've made it happen and I really appreciate that. They also understood that I prefer to see a woman practitioner and if my NP is unavailable for any reason then they'll set me up with another female doctor/NP. So all that's great. Where they have fallen down kind of consistently in my experience is in their communication - and that's a big deal, because communication is the foundation of every successful relationship, and if that's not there, you've got a real problem. I went to a dental practice to have a tooth extracted, and they needed a medical release from OMC, so they faxed their request over, and it was never responded to. So I went back in a couple of weeks later, and the process was repeated, with the same result. At this point, I went in to OMC in person to talk to someone at the desk, and she was great and apologized that they were way behind on their faxes (that's a very bad thing in it of itself), and assured me that she would see that the release got over to the dental practice that day...and it never did. That tooth is still in my head (thankfully it doesn't bother me or if this would've been an even bigger problem). So I guess, long story short, I love my practitioner but I'm not as crazy about the practice itself. They do some things well and some other things not well at all. As such, I can recommend trying them perhaps, and seeing what your own experience is like, but unfortunately I can't just give a wholehearted recommendation.

my doctor gave me a referral to The Center for Rheumatology on August 29th. I waited a few days for…read morethem to receive the referral. I called the number listed. I got a recording saying they would call me back in 24-48 hours. they did not. I called again, left a message, again. I was called back and told it would take a week to 10 days to get my "paperwork" together. I never heard back from them despite calling and leaving message 2 more times. it's now October 10th. if this guy was a cardiologist, I'd more than likely be dead by now. this is the worse run operation I have ever dealt with. How does the business make any money to pay their employees? although based on what I have experienced, no matter what they are paid, it's too much!

I needed some meds, and some procedures scheduled and they said they take care of it but they never did' I find it incredulous that they took it upon themselves to interfere with my required medical procedures and medicines.

What's great about this place is they have early-morning walk-in hours, making it perfect for working stiffs like me who don't want to take off work for a doctor's appointment. They're also really good about fitting me in for an appointment quickly. They're also respectful and understanding. This place is affiliated with Albany Medical College, so they often have student observers. However, they're very good about not forcing that on you if you're not comfortable with it. For instance, when they asked me if a male student could observe my last gynecological exam, I wasn't having it. And that was fine.
