Angelakos Thessaloniki MD

I saw this doctor a few days ago at her 74^th street office in Brooklyn. Overall, a very involved doctor who definitely takes her time with the patient… In fact, she spent over an hour with me. Now granted I am a new patient but I’m not sure I will return for a few reasons. First, I made an appointment and ended up waiting about an hour anyway. Now I would understand the wait if she was busy, however while I was there she spent all of her time with one patient. I also noticed there are no nurses at this office as well. I understood this further as she spoke with me. She does everything herself. And while this initially struck me as a very interpersonal experience, it also is a waste of patients’ time. Sorry, but a nurse can take my blood pressure and probably even administer the test, as well as what I should do going forward. She also sat very close to me and while I am a people person, I do like my personal space. I also felt discomfort and pain while she administered the test which included her «scratching» my skin several times for each allergen. I would suggest inquiring if the doctor can use a needle or something less painful. Also, two days later and my arms now have raised wounds from the scratches and I still have redness. I do appreciate the personalization, however I doubt I will be returning.
