Family practice physician

😠 On Thursday October 6th I went into the Dr’s office and confirmed that they did Covid PCR testing. My pre-surgical requirements necessitated that I needed a test between the 7th and the 10th. At 11:30 AM Friday I returned to the office to request the test. The office was empty, and I was told the... People often mention office, told,

    On Thursday October 6th I went into the Dr’s office and confirmed that they did Covid PCR testing. My pre-surgical requirements necessitated that I needed a test between the 7th and the 10th. At 11:30 AM Friday I returned to the office to request the test. The office was empty, and I was told the Doctor was busy and to return at 2:00 in the afternoon. At 1:45 I returned to the office which was packed with no social distancing or masks worn by the staff. I was told that there were now 6 people in front of me and that it would be another hour. On leaving the office I heard the receptionist in a flippant manner say you can’t please everyone. They were supposed to call which they did not, and I returned an hour and ½ latter to be told that there was at least another hour. I asked for my paperwork back which they said they no longer had, and I requested that they delete me from their system. Each time I had entered the office they told me that they were a Primary Care office and each time I repeated that all I needed was a PCR Test for my pre-surgical requirements. I felt as if they were trying to sell me on making them my Primary Care resource. The staff was rude, when I asked for the email of the owner to write and inform them of my experience, they told me that the doctor was there and did not care to speak to me or hear my issue with the staff. I am a senior citizen who is visually impaired and had to walk 20 plus minutes each time to get to the office. They did not try and assist me in any fashion and ate up over 4 hours of my day. As I am scheduled for surgery I did not want to sit in the close quarters of their office. I will never return to their office and do not recommend them at all. I then looked up on Google and found City MD 3 times the distance for me which I then walked to. City MD on Merrick Road was modern, people were socially distanced, and I was in and out in 30 minutes. If you need urgent services and want to be treated respectfully, I strongly suggest you use them instead.

    Stay away from this so called Dr, to me looks like a farmer and his not professional at all. I call him speeding Gonzales , his office visit last less than 10 minutes , doesn't have the time to write a referral. Last check up didn't check blood pressure , pulse , weight. I told that I have acid reflux and he stated that I am diabetic take some pills over the counter, told him i have back pain answer loose weight. This guy is looking for money. Stay away.

    I am a former patient of Dr Mark H that moved out of state about four years ago. In retrospect, The great thing about Mark is that he did the work necessary to establish a baseline that could alert him and me to changes in my health. This proactive, rather than reactive, approach put me ahead of the curve which is invaluable to longevity and well-being.

    I have been a patient of Dr. since he took over the practice from Dr. Grogh. He is one of the best diagnosticians I have ever had. I feel very comfortable recommending him.

    The best doctor. Dr. Haltrecht is incredibly brilliant, attentive and knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for years and now travel over an hour for the appointment. Absolutely worth it!

    I had switched myself and elderly mother to this practice roughly 2 years ago. The physician's and all personal at the office handles us with care and upmost respect. They have helped mom with a medication regimen that has been really working for her progressive dimentia and diabetes. She is doing so much better since we switched. They are so super helpful with last minute needs and concerns. They continue to exceed my expectations. I am so grateful that we found them....fyi walk INS welcome as well!!!!!
