Four days after my appointment, I received…read morea call from her office informing me that they'd made a mistake, and do not accept my insurance. I was informed that their office did not run my insurance in time to notice before I was seen! I informed them that since Dr. Patel agreed to take on my case, I'd re-located back to New York (as I was comfortable knowing that I had a new pain pump doctor.) The office then informed me that Dr. Patel REFUSES to work out of network for pain pumps, despite having had an appointment, having told me that she'd take on my case, and the office having told me that they take my insurance. Because Dr. Patel refuses to see me out of network (after agreeing to take me on as a patient) I now have to travel two and a half hours to a pain pump doctor because they screwed up. AVOID this office at all costs!

I found Dr. Nanda Ramsaroop through ZocDoc which is in network for my insurance. She is a…read morewonderful doctor. I came in for a new patient visit for a sore throat and had also requested my annual physical. My appointment was early in the morning. Dr. checked me out and what not, turns out i just have allergies. Dr. asked if I wanted to do my annual bloodwork during the new patient visit as I had already fasted and not eaten breakfast. I said sure. She stated the second half of my physical (physical body inspection) would be done in a month. Later on I receive a bill from the lab for my bloodwork. They submitted my annual bloodwork as not part of my annual, which is unfair because i was under the impression that is part of an annual and my insurance covers the bloodwork. I called their office to explain and understand the confusion. The front desk rep said that bloodwork is not part of my annual and they would pull it again in a month. (my blood work came out completely normal). i asked the rep then why did they pull my blood, etc. she told me just because and an annual exam involves an EKG. I was baffled. I've never heard of that before. I end the call. I call back and speak to another rep who was understanding and asked me to email a copy of the bill and they would resubmit it. They never did. Fast forward, i go in for the second part of my physical asking if they resubmitted it and they say no and its not part of my physical. I advised them they do not have my permission to pull my blood again because they already did it. I asked to speak to a manager and she stated they would resubmit it. It has now been a month and I've followed up 3 times with no response. This is ridiculous and although Dr. is great, I don't think I want to come back.

He…read moredidn't try to help me and refused to even listen to what I had to say or look at the images and reports that I brought with me. He told me that if my previous pain management doctor couldn't help me then why would I think that he could help me. That shows lack of confidence in his abilities. He spoke to me rudely. He speaks in a monotone voice like other reviewers wrote and he did not show any care or concern for me as a patient. It was extremely difficult for me to get to his office as I am in chronic pain and had to lie in the back seat of a taxi (which was expensive) to get to his office. So it was extremely disappointing to be treated like that by a pain management doctor who I thought would at least try to help me. I am currently seeing a different pain management doctor who is doing everything he can to help me. What a different experience from Dr. Rubin.

They are not at all agile in neither customer service nor accommodating needs of the disabled. I do not drive due to my injuries. My Uber was late and I tried to call at 4pm regarding a 4:20 appointment, but it took 10 or more minutes to reach a human. I had to coonect to the billing depot before I was able to speak to a person who xoonected me to bellmore. By the time I got a person I was nearly there when I was told I would not be seen today. I arrived, first time there, and their street facing door is actually their back door, with a sign that said please knock loudly. I knocked, soneone came, open the door and asked what I wanted. I said to come in. He said you have to go to the front which is actually the back. Here I am barely able to walk and this idiot wants me to walk around the building rather than accommodate me and let me in. The director was not available. I believe this business is too busy to care about being customer friendly and accommodating, and too big to be agile and adjustable. I was asked I'd I wanted to reschedule and I replied absolutely Not. I will not do business with such an establishment which is probably an indication of the level of treatment I would receive.

I was extremely pleased with the care I received in the ER. The team communicated extremely well with me and with each other and I was kept updated continuously both with verbal updates and with test results in the App. Everything was carefully explained and the team took a thorough history of recent issues to see how and if they are connected. Throughout this, Anna was checking on me at regular intervals, making sure I was relaxed and comfortable and checking my vitals. She was efficient, personable, and wonderfully caring. I honestly never was able to feel so relaxed in an ER before and Anna was definitely one of the reasons I was so relaxed here. I will say that being brought into the ER by EMS might be a different experience than just arriving on your own and waiting in the hallway corridor where chairs are.
