The doctor clearly doesn't want to go to the office in bad weather, so what that you are sick. It is frankly ridiculous considering this is supposed to be a premium service.

Dr. Steinmetz is just a caring, understanding, well-mannered, humble, and gracious person. I have to say person, because he has to be such a person first to be a doctor with those qualities.

I read reviews putting them down - but I beg to say, the person writing such a review, doesn't quite have an understanding of what to expect from an office staff in such a delicate yet fast-moving environment, attending to phones, patients, and any requests of the doctor...

Brooklyn Free Clinic is a shining example of everything American medicine needs to be (but isn't at…read moreall). I had an amazing experience here last night - from the friendliness of reception to the professionalism of the medical staff - and the only downside I saw was that this free community service is one that more people don't know about. Hopefully this review will help to change that (BFC wasn't even a Yelp entry until I added it! I learned about it on the Brokelyn website). So, yes, I am an overeducated, underemployed working class hero (hey, it's something to be). I moved to New York this summer in, as Johnny Cash and June Carter would say, a fever. While I'm looking for faculty positions (insert standard grumbling about the economy, etc etc), I am working as an editor whose employer does not offer health insurance. Oh, the American dream! I have been feeling pretty under the weather the entire month of January, but didn't go to the doctor because... well, I don't have one because I'm uninsured. Finally, my gross coughing and scratchy voice got to be too much. I looked up free clinics in Brooklyn. Enter the Brooklyn Free Clinic. I was slightly skeptical since the clinic was not on Yelp, and because when anything is "free" it is usually over-used. I imagined long lines, a dirty lobby, and being turned away after waiting in a dingy waiting room for hours with angry receptionists and sneezing children. NONE of this was true. Located in the heart of Bed-Stuy, the Free Clinic is run by the SUNY Downstate Medical Center - by med students and volunteers, and one (amazing) doctor on staff. I arrived promptly at 5:30pm - the clinic is ONLY open Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm right now. Their website says that walk-ins are welcome, but warns also that you may not be seen, as current patients sometime wait up to three months for appointments. When I arrived, the very pleasant reception staff told me that it may not be possible to see me tonight, but that if I didn't mind waiting, they would try to fit me in. About half an hour later, they had me filling out paperwork and I officially became a client. I'm not going to lie, the wait is long, and when you have a gross cough like I do, it can be slightly uncomfortable - but it is completely worth it. The lobby is utilitarian - it reminds me of, surprised, socialized medicine (I mean this in a positive way - I am all for socialized everything), and after the local and national news was over, one of the staff popped in a very informative (but also super cheesy, heh) video on STD testing (said video was made before the acronymic switch to "STI" - but was nonetheless effective in conveying its message) for the lobby to enjoy. Anyhow, when you're finally called, you check in with a social worker, a step that is a wonderful asset to a slightly rough neighborhood. She will tell you about all the services that the clinic offers (which include women's reproductive health, mental health, and STI testing), and ask you about yourself. The social worker who interviewed me was very pleasant and helpful. You then have to go back and wait a little while longer. Remember, these are volunteers and medical students, and all the services are free. It was a little before 8pm before I was seen. The 1st year and 3rd year medical students who did my preliminary check up were wonderful. We yucked it up about grad school and they teased me for not knowing exactly where my lungs are (hey, my doctorate is in the humanities!). The 3rd year med student was super helpful in talking to me about general health, as well as in giving a preliminary diagnosis. Dr. Kaiser Islam is the medical director of the clinic, and he sees each patient to confirm diagnoses and to write prescriptions if necessary. Turns out I have an inner ear infection, mild strep, and a mystery cough. But guess what?! The antibiotics that I needed to get - one prescription was free when filled at Rite Choice pharmacy across the street on Fulton, and the other was very inexpensive. If I hadn't found the Brooklyn Free Clinic, I would have let all of this go , and possibly had worse infections. Seriously? Seriously. I cannot speak highly enough of the Brooklyn Free Clinic. It incites me to anger to think of the state of health care in this country, and having had health insurance my whole life until now, I am honored and humbled to have had such a positive experience at the free clinic - particularly when I have had really shitty experiences at expensive specialist clinics in the past. ALL medicine should be like this. I believe if you can pay, then yes, please by all means contribute to your health care. But we all have rough times in our lives, and until we're on our feet, there is always the Brooklyn Free Clinic. Don't be afraid to humble yourself a little - remember, you can always give back when things are on the ups. BFC: Come on in, the water's nice down here.

If you know you need to go ahead of time, I'd highly recommend making an appointment. In total I spent almost 5 hours there -- I was last on the list. The nursing student and Registered Nurse who did my intake were very kind and professional, as were the two medical students who eventually saw me. While in the exam room I was even visited by a sexual health counselor who offered free HIV & Hep-C testing, which I thought was cool at a free clinic. In the end, I got the care I needed, got a prescription, and received my medication from the pharmacy the next day, all without paying a cent (I did pay with my time though). If you don't have health insurance and need to see a doctor, I'd recommend this clinic! Just make sure you make an appointment in advance. And bring a book to pass the time in the waiting room.

I left a similar review three years ago on the LHC Google page and here I find myself leaving a…read morereview with the same issue. My prescription refills are frequently late and require me to take time I don't have from work to continuously call LHC to have my prescription sent to the pharmacy. I've been attempting to have my RX sent to the pharmacy for a week now, to no avail. It's due today and have had to call over ten times between the last three days. I'm told I'll be given a call back, it'll be sent today, it was sent etc. I put my request in with more than enough notice every month, and still they cannot seem to get it out in time. It's a controlled substance so to be frantically trying to get my refill in this manner is not compliant and simply careless for patients. I was given several conflicting responses today by the operators and I was just told "they will not send it today because it's a controlled substance". This isn't what I was told in the morning by another operator who said it was sent to the wrong pharmacy. I've put my travels, and other family members travels on hold because I need my prescription. Ive been given the run around for a week, and finally told I will not be assisted. And that I have to call THEM, AGAIN, tomorrow. I don't understand how they function this way but it's alarming for various reasons. If your doctors will be away there needs to be a policy and procedures where any fill in doctors can attend to time sensitive prescription matters for your patients. And a better line of communication between all staff involved that we, patients, are forced to go through. I don't appreciate my time being wasted, being told several differing statements about the status of my RX, and being told to deal with it. This is my health, my life, and I don't need to deal with anything. Your organization needs to do better. Or be investigated.
