    I'm not sure where the negative results are coming from. I have had no issues in my years with CNY…read moreFamily. They have been welcoming and empathic. Dr. Tarala makes you feel as you are part of a family and is willing to sit down and talk about any concerns. I have also seen Dr. Fiacco, he also a wonderful person and a great doctor. I have never waited as long as 30 minutes. However, I think that Upstate has been spoiled in that there usually are not waits. When I lived down state, I always brought a book with me, because I knew I would be waiting for some time. In the end, they are truly wonderful family doctors.

    Let me start by saying this: the medical staff at CNY Family Care are exemplary. The doctors, nurse…read morepractitioners, nurses, and medical assistants have always treated me well. And this was not some one-off experience from somebody who barely knew the practice. I was a patient there for more than a decade and genuinely thought I had a good relationship with the people caring for me. That is what makes the way this ended so disappointing. I am a cash-pay, self-pay patient. I do not have insurance. Like a lot of people, I have to make very real decisions about where every dollar goes. Gas. Food. Rent. Medical care. I am also a chronic asthmatic, which means sometimes I simply have to see a doctor whether the money is there or not. Because my budget is extremely tight, I called before scheduling the appointment and specifically asked what the visit would cost. That was the entire reason for the call. I explained that I was self-pay. I explained that I needed the visit primarily so I could continue having access to my asthma prescriptions. I asked what I would have to pay. I was told $100. Based on that information, I scheduled the appointment. So, I went in, paid the $100, declined additional testing because I knew I could not afford additional expenses, saw the provider, had my prescriptions renewed, and left. End of story. Or at least I thought it was. Then I received another bill for $35. Now I'm kind of pissed. I had specifically called ahead because I could not afford a surprise bill. I had given your staff all the information they needed and asked a direct question: What is this visit going to cost me? Your office told me $100. I relied on that answer. Then your office charged me more. So yes, when I called billing, I was exceptionally upset. I used profanity. I own that shit. What I do not accept is the explanation I received for why the additional charge had not been disclosed when I specifically called ahead to ask about costs. I was told, essentially, that the practice had sent out a billing notice back in 2024 and that I should have known about it. Bruh...Seriously? If I call your office in 2026, tell you I am uninsured and self-pay, explain exactly what I need the appointment for, and specifically ask what I will be charged, I should be able to rely on the answer your employee gives me. A two-year-old billing notice is not a substitute for answering a direct billing question accurately. That is why I called in the first place. After this interaction, my patient portal access was disabled and I received a formal letter terminating me from the practice. The letter stated that I had "consistently" used foul language and had "consistently verbally abused" members of the billing staff. That is a much broader allegation than saying I got angry during this particular phone call. Which, FTR I am not denying. I was pissed. I used profanity. I will take responsibility for what I actually did. But if you are going to put in writing that I have consistently verbally abused your employees, then show me. Give me the dates. Give me the documented incidents. Show me the pattern that supports the word "consistently." I am perfectly capable of owning my behavior. I expect the same accountability from a medical practice making written accusations about mine. And frankly, I have no interest in returning. My problem is not with the clinicians. Quite the opposite. It is unfortunate that so many genuinely good medical professionals work inside a practice where my experiences with the billing department have been so consistently unpleasant. In my experience, billing staff have been rude, dismissive, combative, and far more interested in escalating frustration than de-escalating it. That is especially unacceptable when dealing with patients who are trying to navigate healthcare without insurance and who are literally calling ahead because $35 matters. Believe that $35 may not sound like much to some folks. When you're deciding whether that $35 goes toward gas, groceries, or healthcare, bruh it matters more than a bit. After more than a decade as a patient, I think the way this situation was handled was exceptionally unprofessional, avoidant, and cowardly. If I could give the billing/customer-service side of this practice zero stars, I would. And I want to be completely clear again: That rating is not for the doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, or medical assistants. They deserved better than this review. Unfortunately, the way the administrative side of this practice handled a long-term patient deserves exactly the review I am giving it.
