Dr. Toprover is an exceptionally knowledgeable doctor who treats his patients with great care and…read moreattention. He remembers his patients' medical history without even having to look at their records. Another huge plus is that he sees patients exactly at their scheduled appointment time--there is no waiting or unnecessary delay. Of all the doctors I have had to see during my 35 years of living in this country, Dr. Toprover is the best.

A mixed bag. The good: Dr. Toprover is knowledgeable and professional. He has a good "bedside"…read moremanner and really listens to you. He is old school in the right ways--he noticed a major health problem I had instantly, whereas the urgent clinic I'd gone to the day before did not. The not so good: The office is always incredibly crowded. You will wait long past your appointment time, guaranteed. The receptionist, while knowledgeable, is extremely brusque, to put it politely. I've had specialists call there and almost hang up on her. The old school really holds: The doctor doesn't do fax or email. Need a referral or refill? He will want you there in person, I guess so he can charge your insurance, not taking into consideration that you may need to take another day off work. You will see lots of people complaining about the dirty office in the Google reviews. They are correct. I stay with him because he is near to me.

Easy to schedule an appointment. But after that-watch out…read more 1. Arrived on time. Filled out paperwork. Waited 40 minutes! before they took me. Quite long waiting time for my taste. Hmmm.... My time is precious too actually. And no, it is not ok for a lady without an appointment to go ahead of me just because she brought you cookies. 2. Now to the visit itself. Seems that he does not understand much. Did not ask me what vitamins I am taking. Only asked about medications. I pointed out that I am not taking medication but I take vitamins. He did not care about that. Dear doctor, what if i am overdosing on calcium? Or other vitamins that can be harmful if taken too long and too much? Nop, he does not care. 3. Have any concerns about the condition that you might have? I have a condition that needs to be watched. Well, his response is "Does that bother you, prevents you from breathing?" Excuse me, I did not know that we need to wait for the condition to accelerate to the level where it prevents me from breathing. I thought the point of monitoring your health problems is to prevent those problems from developing further or catch them if they become worse. 3. Got my blood work back. So, if there anything that is wrong with you blood results-something has lower or higher level that needed, his response is "go ask another doctor, maybe he recommends something". Aren't you a doctor and can prescribe me something to stabilize the level??? I am expecting you to tell me that you are recommending me XYZ. On a positive note-he is nice, his medical assistant is nice, he returns your phone calls promptly, and the front desc seems professional. But in the end, I would like a little more attention to my health and respect for my time.

I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. I needed just a simple vaccination because I am traveling next week (a vaccination that my old doctor recommended) yet when I FINALLY got called into the office, I was given a mandatory consultation about what other vaccines I should get. That discussion would be fine had I come in unsure of what I needed, however this 2 minute long discussion ended up costing me $50 on top of the price for the vaccination (another $50) even though on the phone when I booked the appointment, I was told that all I would have to pay for is the shot. This office was disorganized, not particularly friendly, and charged me when they said they were not going to in the past. I do not plan to return.

Dr. Steinmetz is just a caring, understanding, well-mannered, humble, and gracious person. I have to say person, because he has to be such a person first to be a doctor with those qualities.

I read reviews putting them down - but I beg to say, the person writing such a review, doesn't quite have an understanding of what to expect from an office staff in such a delicate yet fast-moving environment, attending to phones, patients, and any requests of the doctor...

Called the office a number of times and never received a return call. Went to the office hoping to see the doctor and was told he was leaving and couldn't see me and I would get an antibiotic. Asked why there never was a return call and he said he was having issues with the phone. Tried the office again the following day and when I walked in the male receptionist told me did I think I was entitled walking in and since I haven't been there in 2 years what did I expect. Needless to say I walked out after being insulted and reprimanded and found another doctor and I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Dr Buono is a wonderful doctor but it's impossible to get past his rude male receptionist. Needless to say, due to the incredibly insolence of the male receptionist there are 3 less patients for that office. He needs to have a course in patient etiquette and proper and polite discourse.

Deceptive Billing, Unnecessary Blood Tests, and Public Humiliation…read more I scheduled my appointment through the clinic's website, which clearly stated the $300 fee included both the medical exam and completion of Form I-693. When I arrived, the receptionist confirmed this. Even the doctor told me--without me even asking--that the $300 covered both the appointment and the documentation. He said a blood test might be an additional charge and necessary to complete my I-693 which I agreed. I had already provided proof of all required vaccinations, and blood test that I got in another clinic and my insurance paid for it, so there was no medical reason to run any tests. Still, they mentioned one specific blood test, but then performed a different one that I did not need. When I returned to receive my results, I was suddenly told I had to pay another $300 to complete the documentation(form I-693) completely contradicting what both the website and staff had previously confirmed. When I questioned it, the receptionist began yelling at me in front of the entire waiting room and refused to finalize my paperwork unless I paid again. It was deeply unprofessional and humiliating. After leaving, I called the clinic to clarify. They told me the website was "wrong," and that the true cost was $300 for the exam and another $300 for the form (I-693) something never disclosed at any point. I requested a detailed, itemized bill showing the charges for both the appointment and filling the form but they refused. All they offered was a basic credit card receipt. When I finally received a billing summary, through email they cc two more people who could see all my bill and personal information, however they didn't disclose the charges and instead just sent me a total of due without specific information, so i had to request a disclosed bill and when I got it,they were charging me for hepatitis b, varicella and MMR titer and i had the vaccines for all these (I gave them my vaccine record including vaccines for these diseases so not blood test was necessary) This clinic is dishonest, lacks transparency, and operates unethically. They performed unnecessary medical procedures, changed prices after the fact, refused to provide proper billing, and publicly humiliated me. I strongly urge others to avoid this place at all costs

This medical office can be hazardous to your health!…read more I chose this office for a general check-up as I had not gone for one for several years. It was nearby, and the picutures of the office looked decent. I was able to make an appointment the next day, which was convenient. But, that is where the positives end. To start my exam, I saw a very nice young woman, but she was not a doctor. She was a PA. Spoke to me about my medical history, etc. I told her I was having an issue with my foot. A few days before, I went to a podiatrist (at a different location/office) and was told that I had injured my foot. I showed the PA my foot, and she said it looked normal (when it is more swollen than my other foot). So, who do I believe? The PA at Dr. Yuryev, or the podiatrist I had seen the week before? Well, the podiatrist ordered an MRI. I went for the MRI, and I have six stress fractures in my right foot. So much for the PA at this office for spotting an issue. Which, of course, they didn't. Then a blood test was taken. I received a call the next day from Dr. Yuryev's office to inform me that they have the results and that someone will call me to discuss. I then got a call from another PA at Dr. Yuryev to discuss the blood test result. First, he went over the good points. Then he went into the bad. I was told that I am anemic, with hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC all below reference range. The PA told me that in addition to being anemic, I probably have a slow bleed inside of me, probably a tumor in my colon, and that I may have colon cancer. Well, when I heard that, I of course was quite upset. What is strange is that I have no pain and when I looked up the symptoms of colon cancer, I have none of it. I'm not tired all of the time, so I don't know how I could possibly have anemia. I was then told to see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy. I was given a reference to one from their office. Called the reference. An appointment was a month away and it was only a 10-minute video visit. That really isn't good enough. I found out on my own that I should have the blood test retaken and get a ferratin (Iron) blood test. So, what did I do? I went and found a really great gastroentrologist in Manhattan. Quickly got an appointment. Met with a real doctor this time. I showed him the blood test result. He said I shouldn't be too worried over it. He retook the blood test. And did a ferratin test. The result? Everything was in range! What a relief. The ferratin test showed everything with my iron levels was normal. Didn't look like I was anemic. While I was at the gastroenterologist, he set up a colonoscopy. I had that procedure done. The result? All NEGATIVE! No polyps, no tumors, no bleeding, nothing. I am NOT bleeding inside my colon, as I was told I probably was by the PA from Dr. Yuryev's office. I went into Dr. Yuryev's office feeling fine, and left being sick from what I was told. Thankfully it all worked out fine for me in the end, but the experience from Dr. Yuryev's office really scared me and worried me to no end for a couple of months until I knew the real results. What a lousy experience. PAs really aren't good enough. You need to see a doctor. With New York State now allowing PAs to administer your health care instead of a real doctor, more stories like mine may emerge. Moral of the story? Don't go to a doctor in Brooklyn. Always go to one in Manhattan if you can. There IS a difference!
