Dr. Beth Silverstein and the practice as a whole has absolutely changed the quality of my life. I had upper neck and back spasms. Prior to seeing her, I had some pain, severe spasms, and limited range of motion. I could not turn my head from side to side. As a 30 year old adaptive field hockey coach I have to be on my game. The monthly trigger point injections have been a game changer. They swiftly got prior authorization within one day and made it happen. Thank you so much Dr. Silverstein and staff for being compassionate and providing quality care! read more

Dr. Shankar is an excellent doctor. Just don't get a sleep study done through this office. I did the sleep study in May, it is now July and still no results. I was told only one doctor can interpret the results and he has been out for a month. I will be calling my insurance company on Monday to find out if I can get another sleep study done somewhere else. read more

I hate to even posted about my experience with Stella the PA that used to worked here but everyone needs to be aware of what happened. On April 3rd was my 1st time at the practice with the PA Stella. She never asked about my medical history of my migraines or asked me about the migraines, very quickly looked at my imaging (CT scan, MRI, & MRA) like she was scanning them, and very quick looked at my migraine journal. She never look at my intake form or my migraine questionnaire that was still in my hand until I went to signed out at the front desk- she never asked if it was done for her to looked at, never look at my intake form, never asked what meds I'm on & what meds I have been taking for my migraines. She didn't say anything information about the Botox - side effects, where the injection would be, no information at all (I found out how many unit it was though the patient portal). The only 3 things that was asked by the PA during that appointment was 1) what can I help with you? (which I kinda found that question to be a little rude to be asked). 2) when was your last bloodwork? & 3) where did you get bloodwork done? And she also asked if i need a refill on Quilpta that hasn't been working - i been on it since Dec 24 that wasn't worked. When I spoke to the Botox department at the providers office because of me getting a texted about my Botox approval and I found out that the PA I saw on 4/3 put them misinformation on my authorization for my health insurance to cover, which was light sensitivity and vomiting which vomiting does not ever happen with my migraines. Light sensitivity & noise sensitivity only happens when my migraines are worse. The PA never asked about my migraines episodes + the PA never over critical information (intake form, headache questionnaire). The Botox department sent an email to the office manager because that was a huge issue on the PA part. The Botox department is aware I'm holding off from doing the Botox for now. I have to decided to hold off on doing Botox due to huge issues going on that the office manger & my health insurance is involved and looking into what happen. I found out from both the authorization & the orders on my very minimal medical records that the injections will be every 12weeks and 200 units of it. On April 18, I found out though the specialist pharmacy that's been calling me about my Botox refilled prescription that gets sent to the provider office for my Botox. The pharmacy was shocked that the PA didn't discussed my medication and also put me in harm way because I'm on a muscle relaxer that I take daily 4x a day and if I did Botox (which I'm holding off). Both the muscle relaxer & Botox will cause muscle weakness- I'm really upset that Stella would do something like this because she didn't a full medical history, exam, etc. In June 25, my health insurance is still has Stella under investigation and no longer participating with them (health first) -------------------------------------------------- Forward to June 20, I saw Dr. Ahmed, who was very nice, she took a details history, did a detailed exam, and created a treatment plan for me. She said because my migraines aren't happening 15+ days a month that's Botox isn't a great treatment plan yet but might be in the future it might. We are trying different meds first and she told me to keep track on migraine buddy instead of hand writing for my migraine journal. She put me on Symbravo as a rescue med and took over my Nurtec prescription - which I don't mind her doing at all. read more

ZERO STARS!!!!! This place SUCKS! Numerous calls to Dr Ahmed with no return call! When I asked to speak with someone, ANYONE, at that point in regard to my dads meds, they just send over a new script without speaking with me first!!!! HORRENDOUS for a doctor to do that! read more

I saw Dr. Beth Silverstein for migraine management. I thought she was terrific. She listens, asks the right questions, takes the time to talk with you about treatment options. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

I recently became a patient at the Commack office after seeing how thorough they were with my mother. I have nothing negative to say as far as the call center (Anna is amazing and has helped me so much!!), the office staff (everyone at the front desk!!), the MA's, the tech's - all great! I have one problem - and it doesn't reflect the ability or personality of any of the doctors or PA's. The particular PA I saw seemed knowledgable and kind. However, I left 4 separate messages because I needed to speak to her. I never received a call back which is extremely unprofessional. I had four tests in the office, blood work, and two tests for imaging. Two of my tests were not even addressed (I had to ask). I was told to discuss those two tests with my endocrinologist. My endocrinologist asked me why neurologist didn't address it as it is a neurological issue. My neurosurgeon who had sent me for a neurological evaluation actually commented that he left messages and no one ever returned his call. I'm still waiting for a phone call to go over the imagining tests (I was told I would get a phone call on March 25) - Never did receive that phone call either. I left a 5 star rating because the practice is wonderful but not having your medical provider return several messages should be addressed by the office. read more
