I was in NYC with mom for about 3 weeks taking a course. We came all the way from the middle east. After arriving to new york, perhaps because of the long flight, she got congested and had a very bad cough. So we went to the nearest City MD near our hotel, the doctor seemed so terrified knowing that we came from the Arab region and started asking about MERS and things that were completely irrelevant to what was happening to her. Not only that, but he immediately prescribed her an antibiotic without any blood tests or thorough check up. So the next day she took the antibiotic + the cough syrup he prescribed her and her situation got worse. Way worse than anyone can imagine. Upon recommendations and reviews we contacted Dr Primas for urgent in-house care and not only did they give us a quick appointment but they also welcomed us to the clinic in case the time was not suitable. I am not going to take longer than I did but he actually asked about her entire medical history and was completely considerate of the entire situation and recommended a treatment only after assessing her medical condition. He usually prefers not to treat his patients with an antibiotic which is what we always prefer as patients so it was perfect. The antibiotic prescribed to her gave her severe effects and nausea so Dr Primas treated her with a shot (injection) and she literally felt better in 5 minutes. He was also kind enough to prescribe me medications to avoid getting a flu while studying for my course in new york city during that period. He also does not charge for follow ups after the first appointment, in case you needed to see him again. I left his clinic so happy and relieved and took her to the park right accross from Dr Primas building for fresh air, and we enjoyed the rest of our time together. If you are reading this, thank you so much again, Dr. I know who to go to, whenever I am in NYC now. read more

Dr. Primas is the best. He spent an hour reading all my lab reports and helped me cure my visual migraines that I had had for years. Additionally, he literally saved a friends life by diagnosing her illness correctly so she could get the correct treatment. If your ill in NYC, need another medical opinion or planning travel go see Dr. Primas. read more

Both my husband and I became positive for covid. It was devastating and our primary care doctor never called us back. I was desperate because my husband was really failing. Fortunately, I got the name of Dr Primas and he made a house call to us and absolutely saved my husband's life. How can I put into words the deep gratitude we have for Dr Primas and his wonderful, caring staff? We were just so lucky to find him! read more

Without hyperbole, this is the rudest and tersest office I've ever had to deal with - even by New York standards. They have no ear for detail, no aptitude for clear communication, become indignant when you try to correct their substantial errors in communication, and balk when asked for details of available services in writing. They started demanding medical history before even discussing available services and took considerable umbrage at being asked for names and office locations. Staggeringly unprofessional on the part of the desk staff, esp at the price point in question. Based on the staff's demeanor, it's hard to believe that patient health is anywhere close to the top of their list of priorities. So sad...smh. read more

I'm so lucky to have found Dr.Primas I had just moved to NYC and was staying at a temp apartment, ended up with bed bugs and a spider bite. I didn't know what it was so I went to the emergency hospital on 7th ave in the Village. they gave me shots and pills after long waits and horrible staff I went home feeling worse. I needed to see a real Doctor rid a way. Thanks to the internet I found Dr. Primas. Made an appointment saw him and he know exactly what had happened, allergic reaction from the meds from the hospital. I started feeling better the next day and so on. He has been our family Doctor for 10 year now. He's simply the best! I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr Primas for keeping us healthy! read more

This week I got sick. So sick that my fever rocketed to 102 and stayed there. I couldn't walk since my shivers were so bad and just kept having waves of nausea. So, from the comfort of my bed and under 3 blankets I called my doctors office for an emergency appointment. After being hung up on and transferred to a voicemail twice in an effort to speak with a triage nurse, I finally spoke to a live human being who told me I could make an emergency appointment...for April 13. Yes, my friends, that would be an emergency appointment two weeks out. Goodbye Continuum Health. And hello, Dr. Primas. Seemingly too good to believe, Dr. Primas' receptionist: answered the phone, was courteous and informative, and booked me an appointment that same day. Wow. The only hiccup is that you must pay for the appointment and then get reimbursed for the treatment by your provider. I think it's just if your a new patient but either way I didn't care, I needed treatment. His office is cozy, serene and .. empty. It's just him there with a real office and a little exam room to the side. He was immediately friendly in a not creepy and not fake way. He answered questions, did tests and the entire time managed to keep me as unfreaked out as possible. There was no nurse...just me and him, and for at least 20-30 minutes straight! When I close my eyes and dream about health care, this is what I see. Sure, the bill at the end sucked but it'll be reimbursed so that's fine. It's so worth skipping the creepy fluorescent waiting room, condescending doctors, snappy nurses and impossible appointments I've had at other practices. Dr. Primas has been doing this for over 17 years and he does it right. In the end, I am sad to say I've been suffering from strep throat for the past few days but thanks to my new doctor, I'm winning the battle. read more

It all started a week before Christmas, working long hours to finish projects that were on a tight deadline. Long hours, and the constantly changing weather gave me a nasty cold, the cold turned into a sinus infection. Christmas morning my throat pain became unbearable, so I had to find a doctor to see. I quickly found Dr Primas's website via google, and placed a call. His answering service promptly transferred my call to him, and we setup an appointment. I chose to go to his office on 72nd and 5th ave, but he also makes house calls for about $500 (very reasonable). I was quickly diagnosed with a sinus infection, he prescribed some antibiotics and told me where the closest 24 hour pharmacy was. I was told to call him if I was not feeling better in 48 hours. Its only been 5 hours and I'm home, medicated and already starting to feel like myself again. I've found my new Dr, I'd never go anywhere else again. If you are a NY resident or just visiting Dr. Primas is the best choice in New York City for Urgent Care. read more

I should have written this review long ago as I've been a patient of Dr. Primas' for over a year now and have been nothing if not absolutely thrilled with the level of care I've received. During our move to New York from San Francisco, my wife and I stayed at the Eventi Hotel in Chelsea. The staff at the Eventi recommended Dr. Primas, and I can safely say it was to date the best recommendation for any service we've received since moving here. Dr. Primas is not only astute, detail oriented and thorough, he's also incredibly HUMAN. In this, this world of "you stab 'em, we slab 'em" assembly-line-style-healthcare, Dr. Primas is the glaring exception. He takes the time to really know his patients on a personal level and has a bedside manner that makes you feel truly cared for. He accepts cash or credit card only (you bill your insurance on the back end) and his fee is slightly higher than average, but for what you get in terms of level of professionalism, expertise and genuine care, Dr. Primas is well worth it! read more

Dr. Primas is a topnotch physician who will bend over backwards for his patients.

Last winter in NYC, I got a sore throat, after a few days it all got worse, epiglottitis was the outcome. A dangerous bacterial infection. Dr Primas was spot on! A clear diagnosis and he directed me with great speed to do the proper research needed. Without his knowledgeable choices and advice, it all could have ended far worse. He even came for a visit in the hospital. He is a kind warmhearted man with great knowledge of his profession. A true doctor! I am thoroughly thankful and recommend Dr Primas to all. read more

This doctor changed my life. Despite years at NYU and made to feel like my symptoms were all in my head, Dr. Primas recognized what was wrong. I feel like myself again for the first time in years. Thank you Dr. Primas! read more

On a business trip to NYC last year, my husband was stricken with a debilitating disease. The concierge at Park Hyatt recommended Dr. Primas who came right over, doctor's bag in hand, and facilitated our transfer to the hospital. That began our 5 week odyssey in the NSICU of Mt. Sinai, where Dr. Primas became our primary care physician and our lifesaver, literally. He was always a phone call away, came to the hospital every day, checked in by phone every night and was instrumental in working the insurance system to get us MEDIVACed home to California. All of the specialists Dr. Primas brought into our case were top notch - and his recommendations and follow-up and check-ins have continued throughout our year of recovery. Dr. Primas is without a doubt, the most dedicated, compassionate, reasonable, committed and skillful physician I have ever encountered. While I think of concierge doctors as people who come and go - Dr. Primas was with us throughout - so if you're in need of quality, urgent and compassionate care - there is no one else I'd rather have on speed dial. read more

I was struck with the worst migraine of my life while visiting New York. Dr. Primas came and treated me with the upmost professionalism. He listened to my medical history, without judgement, stopped my incessant vomiting and cut my pain in half. Because I am a recovering drug addict, I do not take pain medication. He treated my headache with with a non addictive medication and I was able to get back out of my hotel in a day. If i lived in New York, I would see him as my doctor. THANK YOU DR. PRIMAS. read more

Dr. Primas has been there for me and my husband time and again-either for my chronic condition or sudden illness. He has also referred us to specialists, all of whom are the best in their respective fields. We even called him in the middle of the night, only to find out he was on a much deserved vacation! But... he picked up the phone and advised us anyway! It is very rare to meet a professional whose heart is as great as his mind. Thank you Dr. Primas - The Rozenvelds read more
