Dr. Steinmetz is just a caring, understanding, well-mannered, humble, and gracious person. I have to say person, because he has to be such a person first to be a doctor with those qualities. Not to be ignored is his staff. His staff is just as courteous and understanding. I read reviews putting them down - but I beg to say, the person writing such a review, doesn't quite have an understanding of what to expect from an office staff in such a delicate yet fast-moving environment, attending to phones, patients, and any requests of the doctor... May Jehovah God bless Dr. Steinmetz and his staff, giving all of them good health and long life so they may take care of us who need them.

Dr. Pellegrini is my primary physician and my allergist. The only negatives are his office hours…read moreand the fact that it can at times be a bit of a wait for him, but these are definitely outweighed by the benefits. Dr. Pellegrini is one of the few doctors who will sit with you and discuss why he is ordering particular tests, explain what the results are, and then discusses with you courses of treatment, providing you with information to help you make your own informed decision regarding your treatment. At first I thought that Dr. Pellegrini was one of those physicians who orders a million tests and referrals just to assist his "friend" physicians, but he is really trying to do everything possible to find out what is wrong with his patients and refer them to the appropriate specialist. His staff is friendly and they have gotten better as time has gone on, the patient flow in the office is much better.

Deceptive Billing, Unnecessary Blood Tests, and Public Humiliation…read more I scheduled my appointment through the clinic's website, which clearly stated the $300 fee included both the medical exam and completion of Form I-693. When I arrived, the receptionist confirmed this. Even the doctor told me--without me even asking--that the $300 covered both the appointment and the documentation. He said a blood test might be an additional charge and necessary to complete my I-693 which I agreed. I had already provided proof of all required vaccinations, and blood test that I got in another clinic and my insurance paid for it, so there was no medical reason to run any tests. Still, they mentioned one specific blood test, but then performed a different one that I did not need. When I returned to receive my results, I was suddenly told I had to pay another $300 to complete the documentation(form I-693) completely contradicting what both the website and staff had previously confirmed. When I questioned it, the receptionist began yelling at me in front of the entire waiting room and refused to finalize my paperwork unless I paid again. It was deeply unprofessional and humiliating. After leaving, I called the clinic to clarify. They told me the website was "wrong," and that the true cost was $300 for the exam and another $300 for the form (I-693) something never disclosed at any point. I requested a detailed, itemized bill showing the charges for both the appointment and filling the form but they refused. All they offered was a basic credit card receipt. When I finally received a billing summary, through email they cc two more people who could see all my bill and personal information, however they didn't disclose the charges and instead just sent me a total of due without specific information, so i had to request a disclosed bill and when I got it,they were charging me for hepatitis b, varicella and MMR titer and i had the vaccines for all these (I gave them my vaccine record including vaccines for these diseases so not blood test was necessary) This clinic is dishonest, lacks transparency, and operates unethically. They performed unnecessary medical procedures, changed prices after the fact, refused to provide proper billing, and publicly humiliated me. I strongly urge others to avoid this place at all costs

It's now 2024 and I've only returned yearly for my annual exams/blood work/refills. Dr. Joudeh used to be awesome. He was attentive, caring, and listened. This last appointment was rather shocking. Not only did he have absolutely no memory of who I was - could have at least read my chart to see why I was there - but he questioned me about a medication I've been on for YEARS and that I should consider getting off of and, catch this, SMOKE Ayahuasca instead! Not just smoke, but do so on the ROOFTOP OF THE OFFICE AFTER HOURS with HIM and a 'small group of others' who meet up weekly. Are you serious? While I didn't feel Dr. Joudeh was coming onto me in a sexual way, what medical professional offers this as an option to any patient at a routine physical exam? Listen, I'm not an expert, but I sure as heck know that smoking 'Ayahuasca' isn't possible and that lacing something with synthetic DMT probably isn't a solid alternative. Also, the staff has really gone downhill. No one calls anymore to refill my script, give blood work details or test results. Every time my script is refilled it's always the wrong medicine - EVERY TIME. I have to call and change it. They charge my insurance for services I've never had. I have notified my insurance company as it feels like fraud. Testing my blood for HIV and STDs yearly is also something I ASKED them them NOT to do, but of course, every time, they do it. They told me its required by NYS - its not. Technically, I am supposed to sign off and STD and HIV testing as these are additional, elective services that are NOT required during a routine physical exam. Also, I have a gyno that handles any sex-life issues, tests, and questions. My personal information isn't just YOURS TO TAKE because I'm having my blood drawn. I'm still IN CHARGE of what tests I want performed, or so I thought. I was basically lied to. Second, things are not nearly as clean as they used be. I was nervous about having my blood drawn. There were three other nurses in the tiny room at the same time, all chatting and busy, while one just kinda took out a needle and wanted to get started. No masks, no gloves (which was the worst offense). I literally had to ask the nurse to 'please focus' as I want to make sure you have your shit together before you start putting needles in my arm. My uncle passed away from staff infection he obtained during a routine blood test - I was nervous. Nothing about this office is worth returning too. They used to be the BEST. Sad. Unfortunately, their focus on elective treatments for bad skin and fatty problem areas seems to be the grease for the wheels, greed and psychotropic experiences are the engine. #anotheronebitsthedust

He's great at blood draws, and the office I go to on 5th Avenue in Park Slope is clean and comfortable. Dr. Ftiha's office hours are limited so plan ahead. My only issue is the attitude of one of his front-desk assistants. The employee seated on the left, "Hope," is rude on the phone and also, very frequently, in person. She works in a busy office but should prioritize treating patients politely (we're already nervous about being seen by the doctor.) A show of more patience and assisting us with more respect would be helpful. The rest of the staff is very professional and also kind to newer patients like myself. I've been to the office a fair number of times and have NOT received the same kindness from Hope. She seems quick to get huffy and can be snappy. Overall. I cannot give a 5-star rating after being snapped at several times. But no issues with the doctor's care.
