I had told them my symptoms where not getting better, but they acted like they didn't want me there. Not to mention when the doctor walked in her first words to me where "what's wrong with you", no introduction or anything. Long story short, I had a UTI which my Dr diagnosed with a simple urine sample, in about 2 min.

I contracted something and needed immediate care. From past experiences at other clinics, I…read moreexpected long wait lines and subpar assistance but from the moment I called in to ask a thousand questions to the second I left, I was given premier experience. The young lady at the receptionist desk was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. What she didn't know, she was able to get me the answers I needed. My favorite part of my experience here was being taken care of by Dr. Iris Peppers. Not only was she efficient and professional but she was personable and helped me experience fly by even more quickly. I know she told me that is not a doctor but she's taken better care of me than most doctors in the past. I highly recommend coming here if you need urgent care.

In contrast to a previous experience at a different practice that left me anxious about having…read moreanother endoscopy and colonoscopy, I was incredibly impressed by this practice. Everything was seamless, clean and professional from start to end. Check-in was easy, the waiting area was pleasant, and every staff member I encountered was friendly, professional, and reassuring. The entire facility inspired confidence. There are various "tells" about how well a practice is run, such as staff who seem genuinely happy to work there (they did) and little things like offering to cut off your patient band before you leave, something that reflects a level of attentiveness that inspires confidence. Dr. Pashinsky was fantastic--great bedside manner and incredibly skillful. While the other practice left me sore for a couple of days, this time at this practice I felt perfectly fine after both procedures. I think the best compliment I can give is that the very first thought I had when I woke up was, "I can't wait to write a great review for this practice."

I agree 100% with Neukyn G.'s comment from August 2025…read more The service at the Endoscopy Center as it relates to my endoscopy from April 2024 was good. Dr. Aisenberg was straightforward and walked me through all of my options and then administered the procedure in a caring manner. The issue was with billing. I purposefully called ahead of time and spoke to representatives from the Endoscopy Center and my insurance company in order to confirm with certainty what the cost of my procedure would be. Everyone agreed on the amount, which I paid at the time of my procedure. Somehow, for some reason, everyone had gotten it wrong. I was billed in multiple installments for multiple additional amounts and services after my procedure, after paying the amount I was promised was the sum total of the cost. The Center does hundreds of endoscopies a year - how could they have not been able to tell me what it would cost? And to have gotten it wrong after multiple discussions, including in consultation with my insurance. I received these multiple bills over time. Each time (including in July 2026, more than 2 years after the procedure!) I called the Endoscopy Center's billing office to inquire as to why additional bills came. They promised me each time that the subsequently made payments would mean I've fully paid for the service. They were wrong. The last time, I got a *text message* from Remex, a debt collection agency. I thought it was spam. I called the billing dept. and was told by the billing dept. that the charge was turned over to the agency in December 2024. How could the billing department, when I spoke to them in December 2024 and February 2025, not been able to tell me that there were additional debts outstanding that were to be/had been turned over to an agency? Horrible customer service. Horrible communication. Something needs to be done. Despite the good care, I will never come back here and I would advise people to find a different provider to spare yourself the unnecessary cost, in dollars and time.

Dr Liu took all my pain away and gave me back my lifting abilities all while treating me like an actual person, not like a dollar sign as i had been in Erie. he explained the surgery completely, and the team set up everything from my hotel as well as travel to and from the hotel to surgery center. i have often spoke with folks debating on getting surgery done and hands down the most amazing place i've had work done. and because of that, i went to them again last year for detrimental cervical spine issues. In early 2025 was told my spinal column c5-c3 was unstable and in x-rays you could see it tipping off to the left. the pain i endured was so bad, i often thought about just ending existence. my pain was as if someone put red hot coals under my skin and into my muscles from my skull down to my lower lt region and across my entire back and into my shoulder and down both arms...and the pain was 24/7 with zero relief for months. Dr. Bitan preformed a double discectomy with the insertion of 2 cadaver bones and a mesh around c3-5. I INSTANTLY had relief of all that pain. recovery went well as i was back to doing the bulk of my normal life within a couple days and as the pain subsided from the surgery (he really had to move things around as i have a large, muscular neck) i've been accomplishing more and more of my life again (this spring i will go back to cutting firewood) and i've even picked up a few NEW hobbies in life.... Dr. Bitan and the whole team of Atlantic Spine Center ( his whole surgical team as well as office staff -Love you to death Lisa- truly treated me with compassion, understanding (in my darkest hours of pain i was not a pleasant human) and overall REALLY gave me the feeling they cared about my health. they moved mountains for me and i went from putting together end-of-life plans to now living again. i was not sure i would make it to my 50th bday in the end of january, but Dr. Bitan and the team all DID make it happen and now i'm finding more happiness at 50 than i did the last couple yrs of life (turned out this issue had been going on for a couple yrs only on a smaller scale and had built up to life threatening after an incident). i've been sending everyone i talk with through my business (we own a meadery in Erie pa and are on tons of events as well as folks coming to the bar) to Atlantic Spine Center so they can truly find respite and a life again. sorry if i rambled, i'm just THAT happy and excited to have this pain gone AND be able to do my old life PLUS more again. thank you and much love to Dr. Bitan, Lisa and the whole team of Atlantic Spinal Center!!!!!!

First, they only accept cash which should be a red flag from the get go, then they told me that despite my Health Insurance's 35$ copay they would only see me for 75$. I really needed an albuterol inhaler so I said fine and paid. Once I saw the doctor a few things struck me as being very bizarre right out the gate: 1) Dr. Smec tried to up-sell me on some vitamin supplements that would've cost me 95$ or some horses#@t out of pocket. I've never had a doctor in my life try to directly sell me something that they should just be telling you to buy on your own at a pharmacy or health food place. 2) She told me that instead of using the albuterol inhaler I use for the asthma that I've lived with my entire life, that instead I should suck on Himalayan salt crystals. I'm surprised she didn't try to sell me a salt shaker for 60$. 3) She tried to get me to pay out of pocket to go to a facility where she'd "find out the root of my problem". Again, she reiterated that this would not be covered by my insurance and that it would be expensive. 4) She wrote me a prescription for one, one albuterol inhaler with NO refills. One. Upon contacting my pharmacy to try to get another, after finding out I had no refills, the pharmacist and I tried to contact her several times. My pharmacist left several messages and I called twice both times I was asked to leave a message. The doctor never responded to me or my pharmacist. Finally, a week later, my pharmacist got in contact with Dr. Smec and she denied my refill. I have been using albuterol for years. It is not a controlled substance and I don't somehow abuse it. What is a fact is during allergy season I really need an inhaler and have now not had one for almost a week. DR. SMEC IS A SNAKE OIL SALESMAN, A FRAUD, AND A QUACK. It's all about the $$$ to her. She'll try to sell you over priced crap, and tell you to do things like suck on salt. Who knows how many people with different ailments she's told to suck on salt. What a joke. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and Office of Professional Medical Conduct. What a sham and a waste of time and money.

Everything about my procedure at the Endoscopic Ambulatory was handled professionally and…read moreattentively. Hygiene was assiduously practiced as well. Last Monday I was asked to come in for a COVID-19 nasal swab. My procedure was today, Friday. Yesterday they called and confirmed that my COVID-19 test was negative. Everyone in the facility wears a mask and all patients are required to do so as well. I was brought to a room in which I was weighed and an IV was inserted in my left hand for the Propofol (aka milk of amnesia) that I would receive for the procedure. I then changed into the hospital gown and placed my clothing, cell phone and wallet in a plastic bag. Next stop was the actual sterile room for the procedure. My plastic bag was placed under the gurney I used. Again everything was efficient and professional. Doctor and nurses were friendly and competent. After the procedure, very little of which I can remember, I was wheeled into an adjacent recovery area with vitals being closely monitored by a nurse and the doctor briefly discussing the results. After about 20 minutes or so I was stable enough to stand up and get dressed. Here is where a small disharmony occurred: I had been told ahead of time that it was required to have someone pick me up. After saying I would catch an Uber, I was informed that that was not allowed. Rather than risk them canceling my procedure, I agreed to be picked up. They asked me for a name and number, which I provided. When leaving they wanted to get a signature from the person picking me up, and of course I had already ordered my Uber. They were not pleased, with the head nurse threatening that I would never be allowed back. I left, and then they called the number I had provided and berated the person who was supposed to have "picked me up." I am still giving 5 stars, however, since this unpleasantry does not diminish the professionalism and competency I experienced at the Endoscopic Ambulatory Specialty. Even though I will never be allowed back, I can fully recommend them - just don't tell them ahead of time you plan to take an Uber, and have a strong Brooklyn attitude if you get attitude at the end!

I've had my ups and downs in this area of preventative medicine. Too much info for this review. After a mix up with an appointment I was fed up and stopped going in my later years. So now the torch has been passed to my daughter. She also has what they call dense breast tissue. In the past couple years she has been followed up more frequently. This type of breast tissue requires a mammogram and sonogram annually. She was given a Saturday appointment at 12:10pm. After the mammogram she was told she needed to return because the doctor doesn't work on Saturdays and needs to do the sonogram. Now she must take off from work and return this week. Why did they schedule it for this time? Plus they close at 1pm on Saturdays! Not enough time scheduled for both tests. Bottom line here are the good points: 1. Professional technicians. 2. Convenient Locations. 3. Accepts all types of insurance. 4. They were good at keeping my medical history. 5. Billing department pretty easy to work with. DOWN SIDE Issues with communication between locations. Miscommunication regarding appointments. I arrived the day of my last appointment only to be told I had cancelled it the day before. IT WASN'T ME that cancelled it. After that I felt insecure about the safety of their information system. PS They did see me that day but I had to verify all my information again. They should have known it wasn't me that cancelled my original appointment! This location: 1. The waiting area is a lot smaller but it's bright and new. Only radiology patients in this area and lots of sanitizer around. 2. Reception employee was very nice. 3. Good suggestion from technician. The technician says she usually brings a little travel deodorant with her which is a good idea. Especially if you're going somewhere after the test!!
