Northside Medical Care Llp

I came here for a simple drug (urine) test for my job and it took 2 ½ hours. They took patients before me that came in after me and each of them took 35+ minutes. I was third but had to leave to get water to fill the cup because they didn’t have water– who doesn’t have water?!
Both of the women working there were rude and incompetent and each patient took far too long. The lady working the tests took her sweet time doing absolutely everything.
Horrible place.

Ive been going to this clinic for years. It used to be good when a physicians assistant Kevin used to work here. This place gets busy but he always kept on schedule fairly well. Now the wait is hours and the staff are at first rude then kind. Their service has severely gone down. This place is only for if you’re suddenly sick and expect to get resistance if you are a walk in. They are not as good as they used to be.

Hopefully will never come back to this place again, the check in process is the worst, they have no respect for patients, the staff are very rude

Go here if you’re desperate for antibiotics, and need a prescription. Otherwise avoid this place. It’s kind of a dump and they play loud top-​forty music, as if it’s a clothing store. I thought that was weird, playing loud, dance music where people are sick.

i’ve been here for both illness and for my regular check up. I’m always seen by the physicians assistant who is very knowledgable and professional. Don’t come here if you want to go to a fancy doctor’s office because this is not it. I have insurance so I don’t know what their actual prices are without insurance but I’d imagine it’s reasonable. I have gone there twice at the last minute, once after getting bit by a dog, and another time when I was sick and they saw me right away. The receptionist and the nurse are always very nice. If you want a fancy NYC doctor’s office that looks like a spa, don’t go here. If you’re looking for no frills, down to earth care, you’ll like this place.

Beware! The receptionists are horrendously attitudinal! They shut down the place-​and the phone-​from 12 noon till 2:30 for lunch. You’re out of luck if you think you can leave a message-​all you will get is a busy signal. Oh, and they usually close early, and here’s another winner for you– a PA will see you instead of a doctor.
I finally switched my PCP after they hired horrible receptionists and the wait time increased to 3 hours. Be very careful; they cant cant get their books right and will try to over-​bill you AND every insurance company you’ve EVER had, and try to charge specialist co-​pays, even if you choose them as your primary care physician.
The «head» receptionist answered the phone today (not between the hours of 12 – 2:30 of course) and was barely audible over a mouthful of food and chewed incessantly in my ear while having a major attitude.
I saw Kevin the PA for over 10 years and he was great, thorough and wonderful-​but I cant take the brainless snotty desk people that work there or the billing issues or the wait time. Just imagine. these receptionists deal with sick, vulnerable people every day and behave like this towards them! NEVER AGAIN.

I made an appointment because I was severely sick, only they didn’t tell me that the doctor wasn’t even in. I’m pretty sure it’s a scam to charge health insurance companies for «doctor’s visits» that aren’t actually with a doctor, but with a Physician’s Assistant who can’t actually diagnose what you have. It’s too bad because the woman who took all my stats was extremely kind and apologetic about the (averagely long) wait time.
I’m definitely not going back again though.

Absolutely terrible service. The people answering the phone are rude and incapable of answering the most basic questions. I tried four times to get an appointment but the doctor was ‘off playing golf or something’.

I went here as a walk-​in today, after sitting on an illness for a month hoping I’d magically get better because, like many, I’m uninsured and broke. My boyfriend had had a checkup here and recommended it.
This isn’t the shiniest, fanciest office you’ve ever seen, but everyone from the lady who answered my questions over the phone to the nurse who took my details, to the trainee who assisted, to the Doctor was incredibly nice, cheerful, and helpful. The price for the checkup was a reasonable $ 75, the wait time was negligible (though afternoon on a Monday is probably not peak hours), and the doctor wrote me sensible prescriptions without going overboard. The place has a family-​practice feel, and honestly it was just nice to go somewhere medical while uninsured and not have it be some horrifying traumatic ordeal. I live near Woodhull hospital and I would rather die of whatever I have than ever, ever go to their blood-​splattered hellhole of an emergency room again. A surprising and good experience.

I was very disappointed in this place. Nevermind that the waiting room is real old and crappy looking like a small town dmv. I don’t really care about that. Or that I had to wait for long after my appt was supposed to start to see a Dr. That’s common. But I was already in pain when I went there. I gave them blood for testing and had an x-​ray and mri done. They were supposed to get the results on a Wednesday. So I called on a Wednesday and was told they have no drs in till Monday. So they’re basically just sitting on the information that could help me while I sit in pain. Thanks for the «care».
