When I lived in New York, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Peng. To this day, he's one of the best…read moredoctors I've ever had and his staff is fantastic. Why is Dr. Peng so great? Well first of all, he listens and is actively interested in trying to figure out what happened and how we can find a solution. While sitting in the examination room, Dr. Peng would absorb everything I said, then ask me detailed follow-up questions. He would think out loud about possible causes of whatever issue I was complaining about, and you could see the wheels in his head turning as he went through one possibility after another. It was like watching a detective work. Throughout the process, he encouraged my input ("Do you think it could be related to ______?"). After we discussed all the possible scenarios, Dr. Peng would make a treatment plan and then we'd set up a follow-up appointment. Every time I saw him it was the same process: He would listen to my updates, then we'd make a new plan based on what worked and what didn't. In the end, we successfully figured out a solution to my problem. Overall, I found Dr. Peng warm, friendly, and intensely caring. I no longer reside in New York, but I highly recommend him if you live there and are in need of a urologist.

I joined Yelp nearly 9 years ago and have not written a review. So, this will be my first Yelp…read morereview: Last September, my dad developed a condition, which required an urgent need for a urologist. After much research and sleepless nights, we decided to make an appointment with Dr. Peng. Initially, Dr. Peng prescribed medications to try to resolve the condition and avoid an invasive procedure. After a couple of weeks, it was clear medication was not working and Dr. Peng suggested surgery. Dr. Peng was very through and explained everything to us in English to me and in Mandarin to my dad. Dr. Peng put us at ease enough for us to make the decision to let him do the operation. I am very happy to report, 3 months after my dad's operation, the surgery was very successful and the recovery smooth. My family (especially my dad) could not be more grateful for Dr. Peng and his staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Peng to anyone who needs a urologist. Dr. Peng's personality, professionalism, and skills deserves my first Yelp review and the five stars that goes with it.

Instead of the receptionist helping sort it out...she yelled at me, "Sir! You need to decide what to do right now!" I had to tell HER to calm down and relax. Yelling at a patient! Yelling over $6k as though she is the one paying that outrageous amount. This is unprofessional. I am a patient. I can have a terminal condition and instead of some bedside manner I get barnyard animal attitude! It's customer and patient services. Have some professionalism or get a more appropriate job to the level of attitude with which you carry yourself.

He was extremely…read moreknowledgeable, made sure I understood everything that was going to be done, extremely friendly and empathetic, kind, and thorough. He is, quite literally, everything you want your doctor to be. Let's face it. The procedure is a little bit like going to the dentist. Nobody wants to go, but it's quite necessary. We're all scared, ummm.... sh*tless by teh procedure, but Dr. Vozick was calming and reassuring. Made sure I understood every step of the procedure. The preparation was still... ummm.. bad. But after the prep, Dr. Vozick made the whole thing easy peasey. I am *so* glad I went to him. I know it's weird to hear someone gush about a proctologist, but... he's the best!

Had to wait for two hours to see the doctor. After asking me a general questions for 2 minutes he…read moresaid "that's it, you may go". On my question "Are not we going to discuss my problem?" - the answer was: "What IS your problem?..". Need to mention that I came to this doctor with the reference (from another specialist) describing my problem. I have also been questioned by three office assistants before seeing the doctor and they all seamed to be writing down all that I said about my problem. The doctor just did not bother to read or ask! At my second visit (after going through unnecessary and unrelated to my problem procedures for a few weeks) he just told the assistant to take some test and - got disappeared! He just left and never came back! And he still seamed to be unaware of what is my problem! Did not even ask! A lot more to say but what had been said is enough to get an overall impression. Inattentive, rude, negligent person. Horrible experience!

Very unhappy!! Made an appointment for my husband for last…read moreFriday, received the day before call about rescheduling for this week. Explained to receptionist that want to see another doctor, because 2019 visit experience was very unpleasant- very long wait and short exam with medications that my husband is allergic to (that was mentioned in his chart). Anyway , receptionist convinced me to schedule with dr. Chalik as he is a very good doctor. He might be good, but cares less about his patients, because this time it was another HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES wait without explaining , and as I was told later when called to complain, only TWO patients in the office. My husband heard that Dr. was on the phone in his office instead of seeing patient. It might have been an important call, but the same happened in 2019 appointment. That is not mentioning that we received copayment bill from previous visit just last week - thats over a year later! And we did pay on the spot, as was asked prior to even getting to see a nurse. Obviously is not getting back! And do not recommend this office and this doctor

He is respectful of his patients' concerns, always taking the time to explain things and to answer important questions. Yes, there usually is a long wait at his office, but that's because Dr. Florio is thorough, considerate, and doesn't rush through exams or consultations; the same applies to his very competent medical assistants. As for the front-desk staff, we have usually found them to be polite and attentive to patients in the waiting room. We haven't been to the office within the past couple of years, but last time we were there the waiting room and the office itself were comfortable, clean, and relatively modern; the only negative thing we remember about the waiting room are its doors, which for some reason were unusually heavy -- a potential disadvantage for disabled patients, who milght need the assistance of office staff to open and close them. (This design flaw may or may not have been corrected as of this writing.) At any rate, my husband's and my own experiences with Dr. Florio and staff have been consistently helpful. Highly recommended.

The wait time is horrible and the staff is rude. I waited over 2 hours to be seen. After an hour of…read morewaiting to be called I stand to ask the front desk how much of a wait time there was, she said I was next and proceeded to wait more than an hour (8 people were called since). I would not recommend this office. The front desk lady yelled at one of the patients, yelling his insurance situation to the entire room. I will not return.
