I'm sure she is not intending on taking the call. My aunt is 82 years old and has had many very serious heart issues in the past year, been in and out of ICU. All she needs is her medication renewed. My whole family and I have been calling and leaving messages for the past week with no answer or no call back. I finally (after a week of trying) got in touch with someone yesterday who ASSURED me they sent over all 6 and then rushed me off the phone. Got to the pharmacy and they hadn't sent over anything!!! Planning on pursuing legal action at this point. Disgusting office and they don't care at all about their patients.

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.

I love Dr. Joannow, I visit her Astoria office on 23rd Avenue. She never rushes me, really listens…read moreto what I have to say, and will squeeze me in on super short notice if I'm really not feeling well, absolutely love her!

I have been incredibly pleased with my experiences with the doctor. He treats you with professionalism and care. Although the doctor does have a busy practice, I have been always able to schedule an appointment easily and I have received a response to any questions often the same day that I had called. I have consulted with other doctors in my life, and I am fortunate to find a MD that is knowledgeable, accommodating, and concerned as Marius Leon Pessah, MD This a doctor that makes an investment in the health and well-being of his patients.

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.

At 4pm I asked the status, and was told I'd be seen shortly. I checked again at 4:20 and the receptionist said she would check with the doctor. They said it would be another 30 minutes. i'm sorry but who has time to wait for an hour and half to see a doctor? I understand there are other patients who are not well, but schedule your appointments accordingly. I also have a job and I am extremely sick. I made this appointment with someone else because I could not wait until January. I don't want something to happen to me, esp the state of the world we are living in. Another issue I had was the receptionist did not even care to communicate with me what the status was until I asked. She suggested I stay until 5pm when extended hours start but she knew i was on the clock. So that would not have worked. I asked if someone else could see me as it was a very quick appointment but she said no. Did not even ask. I walked out and will not go back to see Dr. Haq or anyone except my PCP. Another issue I had was with everything going on in the world, how do you know something is not severely wrong with the patient and have them waiting for so long? Ridiculous. DO NOT recommend.

Surgery is no joke and it's often accompanied by mixed emotions of happiness that surgery will improve your quality of life along with devastation that part of the healing process includes muscle atrophy while you're in a cast and boot for months. From my perspective, surgery is only half of the solution; the other half is the rehabilitation process, which is PT. I cannot express how grateful I am to Courtney and the rest of the team for literally teaching me how to stand on my two feet again, how to walk (super humbling process), jog, and finally run. Courtney was super professional and knowledgeable; she created a personalized plan tailored to my changing condition to help me strengthen and gain mobility back in my life. She was patient in explaining and demonstrating the different exercises, used cold/electrical stimulation therapy/BFR, and monitored and adjusted the exercises at different points of my healing process. I worked with Courtney twice a week for ~8 months and thanks to her, I went from not being able to walk to running again. The staff (Bill, Alex, Andrew, Kayla, Maira, Olivia, front desk, etc) were super friendly and encouraging - it made an already difficult process be more welcoming and easy. The space is spacious with clean, new equipment. Everything feels clean and professional and they're always on time. Scheduling, insurance, etc was seamless and easy. If you're looking for a top notch PT experience, this is it!

He has the experience and resume' to put any other physical therapy to shame. I would list it but it would fit due to character limits. Let's just say he had some high profile clients along his career. Bill and his team really take their time with you. Their is no rush or feeling of they just want to get you in and out. They give you the best for your insurances money. They make you not feel bad about a co-pay seriously. They are very professional and accommodating, which is hard to find these days. You'll feel like your a million bucks when your done with your treatment. I'm putting my official seal of recommendation to try out Pro Sports Performance Physical Therapy.
