I'm sorry I have to downgrade the rating after Dr. Belete left. I received a letter from him…read moreindicating as to which Pulmonologist I would be assigned to. My assumption was that the new doctor would keep the appointment I had scheduled. When time started to get close & I didn't hear from the practice, I called. They treated me like a new patient & gave me an appointment months out with a different person than Dr Belete's letter indicated. I told them about the letter & the appointments person acted as if it meant nothing. That's when I started my search for a new Pulmonologist, which I found. This office had always been bad about canceling appointments & then giving an appointment months later. So I was never up to date on my care. I did also have a bad experience with one of their doctors in 2016 when my late Uncle was hospitalized at Beach General. He pulled me out of the room & showed me the scans that indicated badly advanced lung cancer. I told him I didn't want to tell my Uncle then, knowing he would immediately give up. He told me No & marched into my Uncle's room & gave him the news quite abruptly, although I was the next of kin and had Power of Attorney. The Pulmonologist told my Uncle he had a choice to go to one of their Hospice Houses or to Hospice at my house, which he did. It was a terrible experience because of his lack of bedside manner. Due to the staff attitude & my experience with their doctor who was attending Pulmonologist at Beach General when my Uncle was hospitalized, I would no longer recommend this practice.

They're located on the 2nd floor. I had 2 visits and both Techs were very nice. The manager was also nice. They answered all my questions and let me know everything they were going to do. The room i stayed in the 1st night was spacious, with a tv and bathroom. The 2nd night the room was smaller. Its set up kinda like a hotel room. There's a recliner and the bed is a sleep number bed for your comfort. That's awesome that you can choose your own personal settings. It helped me sleep better. They hook all the necessary cords up to you and place sensors on your scalp, legs, and etc. They can monitor if your dreaming, having sudden body movements, stop breathing and more. They use the cpap machine while your sleeping to find a comfortable setting for when you use your machine at home. They will set you up with a DME company that will handle getting your cpap supplies, mask, and etc. There are certain qualifications you have to meet for insurance to approve getting your machine. They get you up around 6am to go home. The staff also offers a desensitization appointment where you get to try on several mask to see what works best for you. They were very helpful during the whole process. There is a camera in the room that your being watched on all night. The experience went smoothly and I'd definitely use this location again if i had to. Check them out...

I quit going to this practice. The first time I saw Dr. Ripoll he seemed very caring & checked the…read morerecords I had from my MRI's and diagnosis in Brooklyn. But at my follow up appointments a breathing test was what I received. And when I met with him all he would tell me was how I had done on the breathing test. I would ask him questions about my issues. He would then quickly go back through my computer records to see what my problems were. I felt as if he were coming into the room with only information about how I had done on the breathing test. I've never had a doctor who wasn't the slightest bit familiar with my conditions when he came into the exam room. Sometimes he gave me different answers at different visits. I was very uncomfortable with this. So I switched practices.

So far so good! In…read moreDecember I came for an allergy test because mine have been continually getting worse over the last 3 years and I sneeze uncontrollably now without medicine. I saw Dr. Koenig who is very friendly and answers tons of questions and provides a lot of info in his consultations. I had the full spectrum allergy test with scratch and then needles where it was like 50 small injections on both arms. I'm allergic to quite a bit apparently so they suggested some shots to boost my tolerance for hiking and outdoor running. I was conscious of my deductible which I had met for the year - the allergy test itself is really expensive - think $900 or so. And then the vials for injections are around $800. Getting the shots are like $30 or so ($15) per arm I think. So it can be really really expensive if you aren't well covered or if you have a high deductible so be mindful of that. Ask lots of questions. The finance ladies in the back were awesome and very upfront about costs - running exact numbers per my insurance for me for my copay. I've come back so far for 3 injections and it's a walk-in method where you don't have to call ahead or schedule it as long as you show up about 30 minutes before they close. You write your name down on a clipboard and they call you back about 10-15 minutes later. They ask you to wait about half an hour after to make sure you don't have a reaction and you're good to go! They're fast and efficient and all the nurses have been really really friendly. So far so good and I'm really happy I decided to do this for myself.

They billed my insurance wrong and then when called about it, I realized they scheduled me for a second appt that wasn't even required, but was authorized by (the insurance company they billed incorrectly) so they were going to have me come in for no reason.
