I have been seeing audiologists my whole life. When I moved to Manhattan, I tried academic hospital-based audiologists and a bunch of private practice ones, so I've seen the gamut - and none were as good as Louise Levy. She does the work herself (no students practicing on you) and is attentive, caring, and interested in getting you matched with the appropriate hearing aids. I am so happy I found her. Her recommendations for my new hearing aids and their new features have been life changing. She is the best audiologist I know in NYC - and that means a lot coming from a seasoned ear, nose and throat doctor!

She took a great deal of time going over my tests and gave me her opinion as to care she would like to start, but also detailed what her expectations were and how long the treatment might last. She answered every question I had for her and for the first time in a long time, I felt that I really mattered. Do not get me wrong, I have several very great and qualified doctors who also show compassion, but this review is solely for Dr. Acquafredda alone and she deserves it. Perhaps some of the new doctors starting out would remember that patients rely on them for more than just their professional opinion Some patients are apprehensive and scared and would welcome a bit of kindness at difficult times. I have and will continue to refer her to anyone who needs help with her speciality.

I arrive, check in and say hi to Cece, and within minutes I'm being seen by Jack or Jay. 2) Personal, individualized treatment. Both doctors are really attentive, answer all my questions, and I never feel shorted for time. Qua (pronounced Quway), the assistant, is awesome too and does a really nice job with the ultrasound treatment. 3) Friendly staff. From the first day, I felt welcome. Everyone is conversational and takes an appropriately professional interest in my personal life. 4) Soothing environment. The office is quiet, the benches are comfortable, everything is clean, and I get as many pillows as I want! One time during the electro-therapy I had a headache, and without my saying anything about it Jay noticed my wincing from the light. He dimmed the ceiling light and put an ice pack under my neck. No more headache! 5) EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. A broken tibia in the ankle area and a few ligament sprains had held me back since they occurred in March. When I started going at the end of May, I still had tons of stiffness and swelling in my ankle even 10 weeks after the injury, and I couldn't walk without a cane. Its three weeks later, and I am already feeling ready to run! I know I need to still wait and finish my treatment so I build back my muscle strength. However, the combinations of treatments, education, and teamwork provided at Empire have me extremely satisfied.

I went to this PT place twice, in March. The owner and his assistant were both kind. However, the…read moreowner's wife - who supervises the office staff (although I think she's only there once/week to go over the billing) - was AWFUL! The receptionist (a nice young woman) told me - when I made my first appointment - that the owner's wife was very concerned about payment. I told her we had *excellent* health insurance (for which we were paying an obscene amount of money) and it would cover 100% of the first eight visits (I'd already *confirmed* that with our insurance company, which is probably the most well-known in the U.S.). At the time of my first visit, the receptionist inferred that the owner's wife was very leery - but they'd made a copy of my health insurance card and therefore they had all of my information (and they could *easily* have contacted our insurance company for verification of my benefits, as anyone else would have). I thought it was quite strange for the owner's wife to behave in that manner, and I've *never* in my entire life encountered such odd behavior from anyone else at a medical office. When I went for my second appointment, the owner's wife was there. After my PT session, she strongly told me that I couldn't continue with appointments unless I paid upfront. I was livid, because they had *all* of my information. I also told her that it would take at least three months for me to get reimbursement (which I realize is the case for medical practitioners and I'm sympathetic, but a patient shouldn't have to be without the money when having *already proven* they'd receive full reimbursement). I decided not to return, since there was *no* way I was going to lay out all that money. Gradually I healed on my own, anyway - but the wife was a FOOL, because they ended up losing a lot of money when I didn't return. UPDATE (2/19/10): Donna W. (the owner's wife) has made totally FALSE statements and SHE is the one who does not "understand" the insurance situation! My health insurance paid *IN FULL* for the two PT visits - but later I was informed by my car insurance company that NYS has a ridiculous law whereby if you're injured in a public transit accident (I was injured on an MTA bus) and if you own a car, your *car* insurance company must pay your medical bills (there's obviously no connection between a bus accident injury and owning a car, but far be it for me to understand the crazy laws enacted by our state legislature). My health insurance company had already paid 100% of my medical bills (including Empire State PT), but that ridiculous law forced every medical provider to reimburse my health insurance company and to then re-bill everything to my car insurance company (!). We have a $200 deductible with our car insurance, which meant that $200 out of the *multi-thousands of dollars* would not be paid. However; I know for a fact that one of the other providers wasn't paid for part of the $200 deductible, therefore Empire State PT is NOT owed $200 (meaning, Donna W. is a *LIAR*!). Further, Empire State PT *NEVER* billed me for any balance and therefore it's an outright *LIE* for Donna W. to accuse me of not paying! And lastly, the supervisor at my car insurance company told me they'd PREVIOUSLY had a problem with Empire State PT refusing to reimburse someone's health insurance company and to re-bill their car insurance company (the same thing happened *this* time, therefore that person had to then call the *owner* of Empire State PT). That just goes to show the type of person Donna W. is (!). It should now be quite obvious why I rated Donna W's behavior so poorly (and I also find it very "interesting" that later on the *EXACT SAME DAY* Donna W. stated her [multiple] lies and I responded with the *truth*, two other people wrote a [glowing] review of Empire State PT - and to make it even *more* obvious, both reviewers had never written ANY other reviews until today). I predict that Donna W. will contact as many patients as possible to write glowing reviews of their treatment, in a desperate attempt to counteract my review. Avoid Empire State PT unless you want to contend with the owner's unpleasant and LYING wife!!

In short, very nice staff (which is rare in this city). No frills place. Great doc. Always fits me in - because be honest, when you're sick, you don't want to wait unti the next day.

If they do, it probably means that's not the right job. As a woman, I won't be able to go to Dr. Jimenez any longer, largely because I don't feel I'd be able to have an open, holistic conversation with him about my health care.

It was a flat rate of X dollars each year. Recently, Dr Lillie quietly only renewed for 6 months (conveniently right before NY goes legal and we won't need her script anymore since anyone can now purchase without a medical reason). The dispensary noticed this and notified us they could not continue to give us meds because of this. When we called Dr Lillie, she offered to fix the problem FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY!!! This is the sign of a Doctor who is in things for the money. Not a good sign for anyone seeking the care of a genuinely caring individual. Secondly, this would be a great time to mention that my family member was never happy seeing this woman because she always rushed her out of her office! And old lady at that!!
