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.

Dr. Paul came highly recommended, but my experience exposed serious problems--not just with one…read moreoffice, but with Advanced Urology Centers of New York, the large network that operates it. After a biopsy, I developed what I later learned is a known and possible complication--an infection. However, over the weekend my condition escalated rapidly, with a fever over 104. I called repeatedly, reached only a recording, left multiple urgent messages, and received no return calls. My condition worsened to the point that I had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with sepsis. I want to be clear: the hospital care I received was excellent and likely prevented a far worse outcome. The issue is not that a complication occurred--it's that I could not reach anyone to address it before it became life-threatening. I could not get guidance, reassurance, or treatment when it mattered most. Follow-up was equally frustrating--long waits, scheduling errors, and even being brought in as the wrong patient. I later learned this is a large network with over 70 doctors sharing a centralized phone system that, in my experience, failed at a critical moment. Attempts to contact the parent organization led only to an online form with no response. This isn't about inconvenience--when patients can't reach their doctors after a procedure, it becomes a serious patient safety issue.

Let me first say that before I even saw him I was very happy with his staff. It's an extremely busy office but they are so courteous and sweet. Both times I visited, the nurses were absolutely fantastic. They talked to you like a human being and not just another body taking up space. The staff at the desk were so friendly. Dr. Lefkowitz is really great. Very knowledgeable. Despite a very busy waiting room, he took his time talking to me. Was very friendly. The only complaint I have is that this office isn't closer to me because Southern State Parkway traffic is awful, ha ha. If anyone needs to pop into a urologist for any reason, I would one million percent recommend this office.

I requested a new container. The Hispanic nurse pointed to the cup and said the container was already labeled and I had to use the contaminated cup and refused to give me a new cup. I was forced to use that cup. When providing the urine sample, the contaminated cup made contact with my skin and private parts. I was panicking and then entered the exam room and the Hispanic nurse checked my vitals. My blood pressure was 160 over 95 and pulse was 110. this nurse did not seem concerned about the very high blood pressure and pulse rate. She did not wear gloves nor alert any of the staff regarding the vitals. I went to see dr Cole for evaluation for issues from uti and pain on the right side. This doctor did not lay a finger on me to physically examine me despite I tell him swelling and pain. He should have examined me to see if the issue is urgent or related to a different organ. I was then asked for a second urine sample since the initial urine was not enough. This same nurse sarcastically and condescendingly gave me the cup and told me don't worry there is no issue with this cup. After leaving the office I was freaking out because i think I may have contracted something from the contaminated cup. My son called two urgent care centers and they advise that we call the northwell office for advice. My son called the northwell center 3 separate times 20 minutes apart and they said an on call physician will reach out to us. As of this writing is over 24 hours and there is no call from them. Please be aware as This may be happening to other patients or the supplies dropping on floors and this nurse reusing them without their knowledge. I went there to get treated for an issue and left without being examined and with a panic attack from possibly getting exposed to an unknown thing due to this rude and unethical person refusing to provide a new cup

I can only describe this female as Hispanic and as a nurse or tech as the office staff refused to provide me her name or title. This was a female Hispanic employee who took my mother to the bathroom for a urine sample. This lady dropped the empty urine container on the bathroom floor contaminated the cup. My mother asked for a new clean cup, this lady refused and pointed to the cup and said it was already labeled and she had to use it. My mother used the cup and it touched her private parts, she was experiencing a panic attack. She entered the exam room shaking her hands uncontrollably and that female employee took her vitals which indicated she was stressed and had a panic attack. This employee did not seem concerned nor alert the office staff regarding the vitals. My mother then saw Adam Cole who did not seem interested in examining her or talking. He did not lay a finger on my mother to physically examine my mother even though she complained about pain right side. He should have examined her to assess if the pain is from kidney, pancreas, appendix pr something else. He also did not want to explain what the ct scan was for and what it shows. He requested more urine sample from my mom. This female Hispanic employee then sarcastically gave my mother a new cup and said don't worry there is nothing wrong with the cup with a weird look. I was standing in front of the exam room and noticed a different employee rushing to get some stuff from the supply closet and picked up an item from the floor. Instead of discarding the dropped item, she took it with her with the rest of the items. It appears that this office does not follow health protocols and endangering the health of patients as the people use dropped items instead of discarding them. My mother and I went home and she was panicking and crying throughout the day and night until this writing asking why this happened to her and why the female employee didn't give her a clean cup. I called the office after hours 3 times leaving messages with answering representative and did not hear back from the on call physician. Next day, an employee from Northwell called and refused to provide me the female Hispanic name and title and said in a rude way I am not giving you the name of my staff. I was then transferred to a nurse who basically said what is wrong with something dropping on the bathroom floor and I was frustrated and told whatever was on the floor got transferred to my mothers body and she cut me off several times and transferred me to another person. As of this writing, my mother did not get an accurate diagnoses from this office, did not get physically examined by physician, was exposed to health hazard due to the female Hispanic employee dropping the cup, and she has panic attacks and nightmares ever since. I am writing this here since I suspect there will be no action taken at all Given that I don't know any of the names of employees I talked to nor the female employee who caused this whole mess. As of this writing I did not receive any info if this employee will be disciplined or removed from the job. As for the doctor, who doesn't physically examined a patient who is complaining of pain? Beware if you value your life and safety.
