The secretaries are rude and very nasty on some uncalled for levels. Dealing with them has been an absolute nightmare. I have been lied to regarding getting an emergency referral that my doctor okayed for. My number has been blocked, and calls ignored. If you ask for directions you get met with mean spirited remarks. If you are ready for a battle every time you have to pick up the phone to call, this is your place. Otherwise, I would recommend looking elsewhere. My next battle will be getting my records so I can go elsewhere.

For a doctor who told me that she doesn't like spending patients' money, it's odd that I'd be asked to meet every month only to be repeatedly told that nothing can be done for my condition. And even odder that I would be prescribed a $900 medication without any trial period or notification that it would cost so much. Thank God for the nursing staff, who - when they found out how much I was being asked to pay - offered me the free sample medication that they keep in the office so patients can see if it works first. I would have had no idea what my options were if I had trusted Dr. Cobrin, and I'll be taking my long list of unanswered questions to a different practice.

While it seems to be customary to wait for any doctor these days I actually like this doctor and staff so it makes the wait slightly less painful. Dr. Bloom is definitely one of the best doctors I've had the pleasure of seeing for my issues and I've met some real doozies. He made me feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared about. He has a good sense of humor which makes for a good bedside manner. Now keep in mind I haven't seen him in over 3 years and yet he knew me right away. I will continue to see Dr. Bloom for as long as medically necessary; and for as long as I'm in CT, you should to!

I am completely shocked and disappointed with their unprofessionalism. I have had strong symptoms…read moreof COVID-19 and right now I'm on day 7 of shown symptoms. When it started I had extreme fatigue, which led to heavy post-nasal drip down the throat, no runny nose, no sneezing, just thick postnasal that would make me cough a bit. On day 2 I felt a fullness in neck and throat which evolved into a full and forceful dry cough along with a fever which I took ibuprofen for. Day 3 the cough just worsened and I started to feel shortness of breath, chest tightness, and pain and getting winded going up and downstairs. Day 4 I went to Soundview. I was wheezing, short of breath, coughing, and unable to take a deep breath. Dr diagnosed me as URI even though I had symptoms of lower respiratory difficulties. Dr told me because I didn't have a fever I would not get a test for COVID-19. And told me if I didn't directly contact someone who traveled recently I likely would not have the virus. Meanwhile, the news has reported "community spread" in our area. Yes, I suppose there are limited tests but the Dr was not honest about that fact and simply told me to take cough med, pain med, and inhaler and sent me on my way. No recommendation to avoid social gatherings etc. I did so anyway, I canceled all plans and tried to keep a distance from other parents at school drop-offs and pick-ups throughout the week. I have had other concerns about this practice before this, but this clearly has me looking for a completely different practice. I'm giving two stars because the Dr was very nice and personable. The night after the appointment was the worst night of all. I was sitting on the couch, coughing fit, after coughing fit, and just had the feeling like I could not get any air. That my windpipes in my lungs were completely constricted and not opening, I was seriously needing air. I had taken inhaler but yet was at this level of breathing trouble only a couple of hours later. I went up to the shower and turned on the steam with the hope of it relieving the issue and opening up the airways, which it did for a bit. When I was ready to go to sleep laying down in the bed I still was struggling for air. Any position made me cough like crazy. Any relief I got was sitting up and leaning forward or completely standing up straight. this is no way to fall asleep. I wrestled with the symptoms for a good TWO HOURS until finally, things subsided enough to drift off. But I was woken up many times overnight with the breathing struggle. I have had bronchitis before and this seemed to be on another level. The next day, more coughing fits and a nap interrupted with them yet again. Coughing fits caused intense headaches over the day. I went to sleep day 5 with the same symptoms. Day 6 coughing fits over and over, the same breathing issues. Day 7, symptoms are easing just a little bit but I'm still experiencing shortness of breath and coughing and not being able to breathe in deep. Still winded walking up and down flights and around the house. I still feel like someone should test me properly. I am convinced I have this virus in my body. And I have no clue if I definitely have this virus and if I should avoid going to work this weekend. The two mildest of the symptoms: My voice is different, the whole throat lining is irritated from all the coughing and slightly sore, but it's not a seriously sore throat and doesn't hurt to talk or eat or move. I also only have had a slight fever since the second day and mostly no fever- but the issue is definitely in the lungs - lower area of lungs.
