Front desk staff was rude and dismissive, especially the middle aged woman with shoulder length blondish, gray hair. Not just to me but another patient waiting as well. Basically wouldn't help with insurance, by making the call for precertification to confirm emergency. I paid for the visit, but she still classified it as an "office visit" when I was in with a 5 year old presenting with blood in her urine. She is a disservice to your facility. Wanted to do as little as possible. The doctor was great!!

There was no wait, but I had to use an app to check in, which took about 10 minutes. ย So, why are there employees at the front desk, if Iโ€™m doing their job for them? ย I could see the benefit of this if there were 5 people waiting to check inโ€ฆ but they couldnโ€™t do my intake when I was literally the only person in the waiting room? I was pulled into the room pretty quickly, but then waiting in the exam room for about 1/2 hour. ย The doctor was friendly and listened to my list of symptoms and then examined me. ย  Besides the check in process and wait to be seen by the doctor , everything was positive.

Went to urgent care, because I had a sore in my nose which was red and swollen and very painful. I went to urgent care, the staff was great, I didnโ€™t have to wait long, the Dr came in she stood at the door way, glanced at my nose, didnโ€™t even look inside and said u have a infection, she spent 30 seconds with me and stood in the doorway, wrote a prescription and left. I will never go back to that center or recommend anyone. I worked at Sloane Kettering for forty two years, I am totally aware how a dr should present herself, she didnโ€™t introduce herself or entered the room and closed the door. No way to present your self to a patient.

I was surprised that only after arriving I was told it would be a virtual visit. Also I do not understand why I had to pay two copays, one for each health insurance I have. The manager is lovely.

About Folate Testing

Folate Testing, also known as folic acid or vitamin B9 testing, is a diagnostic test that measures the level of folate in the blood.
