So after 15 years of being a Prohealth patient I AM DONE. Primary care needs to change their name…read moreto I DON'T CARE. Try calling for an appointment, on hold forever. Great call back system, "leave your number and we will call you back ASAP". I called 4X w/o a call back. MY (EX) primary refused to refill some RX w/o seeing me for a few months. She is 100% correct. The only problem is she is not available for 2 plus months! So I left he a message that I can't get an appointment can she step in and advise as to what I should do. OF course, no call back except from my pharmacy who received a call that I need to make an appointment. I called again and was advised that my Dr. is not available. SOLUTION is to get rid of every prohealth Dr. I see and switch to a new group.

I've been going to Dr. Joannow since 2003 and I adore her. In the interest of full disclosure, I…read moredid send two friends to her and they didn't love her- Doctors are a very tricky thing and I can make no promises that she's the right doc for you just because she's right for me. Here are just some of the reasons I love going to Dr. Joannow: 1) She gives me an HIV test as part of my annual exam. It has nothing to do with my sex life, it's just a routine thing that she believes in and I think all doctors should follow suit. 2) In seven years she's maybe bruised my arm drawing blood once. I have colitis so I get a lot of blood tests, and this kind of track record is amazing 3) She's very concerned with female health and likes to be kept in the loop with my ob/gyn. 4) She loves to chat, but also listens and is very responsive to concerns and requests. 5) She's on call. I know it sometimes frustrates her because people take advantage of this, but it really is reassuring knowing that I can ping her on her cell phone in an emergency. 6) She supports local business and turned me on to Olympia Chemists, which is my new pharmacy and beats the hell out of CVS. 7) If she's booked up and you need to get in to see her she'll make every effort to squeeze you in- you just have to be comfortable with waiting patiently for her to have a window of opportunity between scheduled patients. She's not in her Astoria office everyday because she's sometimes at the hospital and I believe also has a practice on Long Island (I might be wrong about that) but she's a tireless and devoted woman who genuinely cares more about the patient than the money. We've shared many a gripe about Insurance companies and poor interpersonal skills within the health care industry. Again, I can't promise that a doctor that's right for me will be right for you, but I recommend giving her a try. Oh, also of note, she has a policy for referrals and other types of paper work. She prefers to have a week to get that sort of stuff done, because doing it all at the time of request would eat-up her time with patients. It's a bit of a pain, but I understand why she has that policy and I appreciate the thought behind it.

The medical office is in excellent condition, but a face lift that offers a welcoming environment, with modernized lighting would be an added pleasure to the waiting room.
