    I had to switch doctors 30 weeks into my pregnancy, due to a change in insurance. I was having a hard time finding a practice that would take me so far along and was eventually pointed in the direction of a Center for Women’s Health. When I first called, I spoke to a nice woman on the phone who got me an appointment for the next day and took my insurance info over the phone. I was very relieved after calling over 10 different offices on the Island and no one would take me. When I went in the following day, the staff at the front desk were extremely polite to me and helpful. I waited no longer than 15 minutes to get seated in a room, and it only took that long because I was filling out the paperwork. I saw a midwife by the name of Kathy who was super friendly and made my experience very comfortable. I then saw a nurse named Angela who spent almost an hour with me just giving me all the information I needed and answering all my questions. They showed a great deal of care and concern for my baby and I. I’m not sure why this place has such low reviews, but my experience so far has been great. I’m excited to continue my pregnancy journey with them.

    Lack of professionalism and ZERO respect for time!! My appointment was for 2:15, I arrived at 1:50pm. I was taken to the exam room at 3:20pm. I am in the back undressed on the examination table waiting to be seen and it’s 4:15 still no one. ZERO consideration to say it will be a few moments longer ; sorry for the inconvenience, we are running behind schedule; NOTHING! I am contemplating walking out, but then that will be even more of a waste of time. At this point my phone is about to die and I am using my last bit of battery to express how unsatisfactory this place is. What shame they would have pregnant women , mothers waiting so long knowing the amount of things we have to juggle on top of being a mother. NEVER AGAIN. Ladies have some respect for yourself and seek another physician. 4:25 the physician walks in and is professional and kind. I tell her about the unacceptable wait and she apologizes. She finished the exam by 4:40. She tells me to wait for a referral. Now 3 hours later I am still here ready (screaming inside). I am updating my review to 1.5 star because of the Doctor apologizing , however changes need to be made. There is no reason the receptionist left before I did.

    Great music. Professional every time I go. I wish when we make appointments that they are ON TIME because I plan my life around my appointment and don’t have 1hr 30 min to just wait after my appointment time. But other than that I have been going here years and love them. No babies just for Gyno appointments and silly questions. Cannot find anyone around here as good as them. I also use any doctor in the office. Nobody specific they are all great and professional.

    2nd time here and will definitely b my last time here. Idk if there is 1 technician who works at this place but don’t waste your time coming here! Both times I’ve been to my appointments 15-10 mins before my actual appointment time and always b sitting in the waiting room to get seen for about 2 hours or more to get a sonogram. Not only me but other patients are always complaining about the wait time here as well. It’s horrible. Please don’t waste your time here!

    Same as with all of the other reviews, the wait time is horrendous. Why make an 8am appointment to be seen at 10:30. It makes absolutely no sense. How can you already be that behind at 8am?? Once inside, the technicians were ok each time. Some nicer than the others but that's the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. This place does not value your time.

    I absolutely loved Kathy Vigianni, but the front office itself is nasty and unprofessional. I accidentally lost track of days… (new mom life) and winded up missing my appt. When I called to reschedule my 6 week post partum appt, the girl was very rude and got nasty with me when i said I wasnt going to take they’re next available for 3 weeks later……. do better sis, i wasn’t even upset about it I just said i simply cant wait that long & ill try anothee gyenecologist.

    Have been waiting an hour and a half already just for an ultrasound and still waiting to be called back. Front desk lady very rudely was on the phone with security and threatened to kick me out for having my mask off to eat a few bites of my honeybun after waiting here an hour wearing it the whole time. (There is a vending machine in the waiting room but don’t bother getting anything from it if you’re not allowed to eat it) edit: I didn’t get called back until 2 hours. When I brought my paper to schedule another apt the same receptionist on the phone didn’t bother to acknowledge me and set my apt time on her own without asking if it was ok. I would stay far away from this place if I were you.

    Dr. Sammy Deangelis is an excellent doctor. He has a great bedside manner. He asks me questions, he listens, and really works hard to understand the patient and help them. He is definitely a great doctor and i will continue to go to him. Also, the waiting room is never overpacked, instead, I find that they never overschedule their patients, (which a lot of offices do).

    The woman named Lousia sitting in the front desk was very rude and unhelpful. She was being insensitive towards my condition and that upset me a lot. I got told to come at a certain time but they still made me wait for a extra hour

    Horrible Experience Overall, Rude Staff, Lack of Consideration for People's Time During Such a Sensitive Time for Women. (Motherhood) My Wife and I have waited for over an hour every single one of her sonograms, Today we waited 2 hours. I feel that in this current climate of Covid cases going up, pregnant women should not have to wait 2 hours in a waiting room as they are even more susceptible to contract the virus. these people should be ashamed of themselves.

    This place is the worst. One time I was here 4 hours for a follow up. An hour and a half PLUS in the waiting room multiple times. Weather you show up an hour early or 10 minutes ahead, prepare to lose an entire day sitting in this waiting room and even when you get called back…guess what, more waiting!

    The wait time is at least 2 hours after your scheduled appointment. Joan is the manager at this facility and when I voiced my concern and gave a suggested solution her response was “all suggestions are welcomed”. I wasn’t asked how long I had been waiting, there was no apology and it honestly felt as if she could care less. If it wasn’t for Dr. Grube and the girls I would never step foot in this facility. Hopefully the higher ups can implement some new policies or make an improvement in management.

    Front desk and scheduling staff were pleasant, some employees nicer than others. I only waited about 20 min, which I was surprised about given previous reviews and hearsay from others. I saw Dr. DeAneglis who is an amazing provider! The only negative aspect of this office visit from my personal experience is the parking situation, which is difficult on busy Seaview Ave.

    Avoid this clinic at all costs, unless you are willing to block out your entire day to wait hours after your appointment time to be seen. My initial appointment last week was supposed to be at 9:45 and I did not end up leaving until well past midday. Now, for my follow-up appointment, the pattern seems to be repeating and I am still waiting to be seen over an hour after my appointment. I understand that delays are sometimes inevitable, but, judging by both my experience and the other reviews, this is the standard here and the staff seem completely unfazed by that fact. I have never seen a health establishment show such a flagrant disregard for their patients—and don’t even get me started on the parking!

    My god if you are required for a follow up appointment the scheduling is the worst. For two weeks now I have been trying to reach the follow-up-front-desk and they never pick up or return the messages.

😠 Listen to all the reviews! This office is definitely a scam. I went as a new patient for a simple physical exam and I got labs and chest X-ray done.
