Luckily, SIOMS Forest Hills was my 6th call and they do accept my mom's insurance #score Exactly two weeks ago today, I made an appointment and also, requested that my mom would be under the care of Lydia J. Lam, DDS. Yesterday, I filled out the online application while Google translating the questions so my mom can answer them. You can hop on the E or F train to Forest Hills - 71 Av station which SIOMS Forest Hills was conveniently located on the busy Austin Street. My mom and I decided to kill some time across the street at Target because nowadays you can't sit in the office if you get there too early. I looked up at the staircase and my legs started to wobble because I have a fear of heights. Luckily, there was an elevator that you can take up to the second floor...phew! The waiting area was small though with 6 chairs which you still can social distance. Oh boy, there was still a language barrier because Dr. Lam only spoke Cantonese. My mom can understand Cantonese but she replied in Mandarin. Thanks, Dr. Lam for extracting my mom's tooth today. If you need to use the restroom, ask the Front Desk Administrator for the key then walk straight down and make a right. Note: Dr. Lam is only here on Wednesdays!

Their website also has the nerve to ask for donations, smh. Trust me, if you're dying, get to Seaview if you can, it will make a world of difference when it comes to getting better care.

They have canceled two of my appointments on the day before I was scheduled to get a crown on my broken tooth, because they say my insurance hasn't provided approval yet. Worse yet, I had to call them to confirm, and that's when they told me not to come in. Why didn't they communicate that to me? That's screams disorganized and the first time it happened should have been the red flag I needed to go elsewhere. My Cigna insurance is quite comprehensive, and I don't actually need to get preapproval for dental work. I understand that the office wants to ensure they will be paid for services, but the problem is that Cigna has confirmed that they never received any preauthorization requests on my behalf. No one in the office submitted the request to my insurance. I've been walking around with a broken tooth for over a month now and they don't seem too concerned.

I…read morebegan seeing him to get relief from pain from herniated discs in both my neck and lower back. I have been to quite a few doctors during this ordeal and not one has come close to providing the care Dr. Pathare has given me. His excellent bedside manner has allowed me to feel very comfortable discussing my symptoms and creating a plan with him to alleviate my neck and back pain. I even switched my insurance plan to make sure I am able to continue seeing him after my no-fault insurance has been exhausted! His staff is just as wonderful! They are extremely accommodating, organized and empathetic. They are truly a pleasure to deal with which is so hard to find these days. I'd also like to point that prior to coming to his office, I went to see a different physician in the same specialty that I was referred to by my attorney. I did not see the attending until the end of my appointment. That office had a dozen residents, PA's, and nurses, seeing the patients to report back. When I make a doctor's appointment, I want to see the doctor I am scheduled to see. At Advanced Spine Care, you see the doctor you made an appointment without having to see other healthcare professionals nor a need to repeat your history several times. I highly recommend Dr. Pathare to anyone looking for an excellent Pain Management provider. I will be forever grateful for finding his office and for the relief he has given me.

My experience in Manhattan facilities as far as appointment wait times were on time but at Regional Radiology the wait times before and after imaging for checking are long. The main reason I use the SI facilities is because it is convenience for travel and in Staten Island. Also Dr.'s in Staten Island Regional Radiology in my experience, mammography, breast ultrasound, are not physically present at the facility at the time of the appointment because they read the images from home via medical approved internet. I had asked to speak with the manager and asked why I was not able to speak to or seen by the radiologist since at the at the nyc city facilities I was, to go over any questions and to look physically at me for any lumps etc of concern. At Regional Radiology, my opinion and experience only, the technologist contacts the radiologist physician and describes concerns etc. to the radiologist reading the images, and one time I was connected to the radiologist on the computer and on the phone. Not the same as an in person exam. I was told by the staff manager that in the future, before making an appointment, to ask if and when there will be a radiologist on sight for the day of your appointment, as mentioned most are working from home. Regional Radiology facilities throughout SI have been affiliated with NYU for some time now, and acceptable by some of my NYU Manhattan doctors depending on imaging needed, some physicians in Manhattan prefer NYU Langone, Perlmutter Radiology, or imaging facility at the Orthopedic center on E38 th Street. My Manhattan Dr.'s, some will accept REGIONAL RADIOLOGY, so I opine only in my experience and health situation. The physicians I use will also let me know which facility they would prefer. Please know this has been my experience only and Regional Radiology in my opinion has improved since they have been affiliated with NYU, but again, in my opinion they still need to be more on board in their practices with the facilities in Manhattan.
