PCP said I could have a referral to a specialist, and he would do so after the following test, if I liked. The symptoms worsened within a short period of time thereafter.

Had I gotten to the specialist at the peak of my pain, maybe I would not have gone through prolonged suffering. Had he not waited two weeks to tell me of an alarming abnormality in my lab work.

In short "If you need care within a few hours and can get there on your own, go here."…read more I'm going to preface this review a few assumptions: If you're in the ER it's probably not a good day for you anyway, most peope don't really *want* to be there, and you're there because you need to be seen sooner than tomorrow morning at a primary care doctor or need more care than a CVS or PriceChopper type Clinic can offer. With that in mind, I'll say I 'enjoyed' my visit to Ellis Emergent Care. I left feeling WAY better than I did when I got there - which is the point, right? The waiting room was calm, quiet, and not crowded. The staff was professional. I won't say 'overly friendly', but it's the ER people!!! They could have been on the tail end of three 12-hour shifts. They were, however, gentle, caring, respectful, and efficient. I was in for extreme dehydration during pregnancy and had to get an IV. The nurses and PA very much seemed to have the attitude of "Lets get you feeling better and get you home." They're obviously busy, but don't seem frantic. The receptionists remembered my name and had all the paperwork ready to go when we went to check out. I feel like all of these reasons in aggragate make it a 5-Star ER. You're not at the spa, but you're also not getting ebola or watching someone die on a stretcher. I'd call that a win. Since it is a smaller facility, they have a limited number of beds/rooms compared to other major hospitals. With that in mind, if there are more than 10 people in the waiting room, it could mean they are filled to capacity. We waited about an hour before I was admitted to a room on a Wednesday afternoon. I felt given the number of people I saw leave and get admitted before me, this was very reasonable. Pro Tip - this facility does NOT accept ambulances, and as a result, the hectic, chaotic atmospher that you experience in other places is noticable absent here. If you need care within a few hours and can get there on your own, go here.

I went in for simple bloodwork the other day. Not a single patient in the office. The old lady at…read morethe front desk acted as if she went out of her way to tell me to take a number on the wall and have a seat. The person doing the bloodwork then came out to get me. He couldn't have had a worse personality for the job he does. Very unfriendly and just couldn't be bothered to try and make me feel less anxious. While I'm waiting on him, in complete silence, to get everything together, the old woman at the front desk and another employee sat at checkout and gossiped about church and a man named John. For all they knew I could have recognized who they were speaking of. They did this my entire visit! Extremely unprofessional. A few days later I needed urgent care and called this office to see if they still had an Albany Med urgent care. Since this office is a multi disciplinary practice I figured they would know. The woman who answered the phone told me she did not know and I needed to Google it. What??? Google it?? How about no, I'll just leave you a really crappy review that you deserve! Before you go here make sure there is nobody else in the area that can handle your situation. I will never go here again or recommend them to anyone. St. Peter's is amazing as is Ellis and neither place has ever treated me or acted as unprofessional as this practice has. Albany Med should be ashamed of hiring people like this.

I arrive nice and early before they open because they are always busy and the lines form early. I can't say I like them, but that is probably because I am sick if I am here and I am meeting new doctors I don't know. They are very hesitant to prescribe antibiotics, even after having cold or flu like symptoms for 10 days or more. I was told "two weeks" before they would write a prescription. Perhaps that is a federal policy? I don't know. If you are sick and need help fast, come here. Or, better yet, just don't get sick at all.

The online system for securing your place in line is very convenient. I was seen by Angelina Miseno-callaghan who was amazing. I am a chronic illness patient so I encounter many doctors, and often when going to urgent care I encounter doctors of which who instantly dismiss me, don't listen to my concerns, or make me feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable. Dr Miseno-Callaghan is definitely not in that group, and was very patient and made sure she got a history, as well as a second opinion before advising and treating me due to my chronic conditions. Due to a dental infection I have, she advised me of doctors and locations that will likely accept my insurance, as well as have openings. When I came in I felt lost, stuck, and suffering. Now the next day I feel better due to the medication prescribed by her, and the guidance, as well as validation, she has given me.

First time, I had a young girl that didn't even know how to take blood pressure correctly, and today, I had an older troll of a woman who I think was literally on the spectrum (not meant to be an insult- there are plenty of great jobs for people with autism. This is not one of them) she looked at me like she didn't understand what I was saying- she pretended to take notes on a post-it when she asked "medicines, allergies?" just like that- like what are you asking me?? Are you asking what meds I take or what I am allergic to or both?! I asked her to clarify and she said the exact same thing. Then, I told her I didn't want my BP taken (it stresses me out) and she said "you have to" and I politely said, "No, I don't. I can opt out of any medical test that I don't want done." She was not happy about that. Girl.....what? Doctors have all been decent here so that's a plus.
