I have been a patient of Dr Lusky since 2005. He was always professional, welcoming and friendly to…read moreme. Wilson who worked as the front desk receptionist was always pleasant and accompanying when it came to scheduling appointments and retrieving test results. Also notable was Cheri, who helped out up front as well for the care of patients in the back. That all being said, the overall office's professionalism and utmost care of patients has drastically changed for the worse with the new additional staff that was brought in. I was unknowingly assigned to Dr Pulcheri. She seemed professional at first but had many issues from prescriptions not being filled correctly when requested, to months of unavailability to see me and falsifying medical records from teladoc calls. I tried my best to accommodate her derelict of job duties but to no success. I even tried to get the new receptionist Natalie, who was hired after Wilson, to help facilitate my health needs. At first it seemed like she could handle the fast paced and demanding position of answering phones. but that was short lived. She quickly became unprofessional and contentious on the phone. She would over talk me, cut me off in mid speech and wouldn't relay my messages to Dr Pulcheri. This went on for the past year. I had to ultimately make the hard decision to leave the East Medical Practice. No ill will towards Dr Lusky or others at the practice not mentioned in my review. I just can't continue arguing with an unsuited receptionist and a doctor who seems more concerned about her travel plans and personal obligations ( as she would tell me when I visited ) than of her patients, leaving them with no medical care or alternative support.

We original planned to see Dr. Silverblatt but front desk didn't let us know that Dr. Finkelman…read morewill be on duty that day. Anyway, that's not the point. We arrived on time for our appointment and saw Dr. Finkelman first time. He was TERRIBLE and VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I don't remember it's "requirement" that doctor have to ask my nationality and find out our job titles so details to put into his system. I finally said "can you please focus on baby?". God...damn ..it...i think that piss him off. After the flu shot, the baby still bleeding from the shot , then Dr. Finkelman just walked out the room without putting a bandage on my baby thigh. one of vaccination was oral intake. He put into my baby mouth and grab her throat and said trust me,I learned it by feeding my cat medicine. She will swallow it. Baby started cried very loud and throw out. He used the paper that baby laid on to wipe her mouth off, WTF....that's dirty. I was really piss off....!!!

Not as engaging as doctors I was used to in Atlanta, but I chalked that up to the "New York thing". She listened to my concerns and overall, everything with her was fine. There are 2 other doctors in this office. Dr. Finkelman was TERRIBLE. He treated me like I was an idiot and talked down to me and thankfully, we only saw him once. I hate to say this, but just avoid going to Heights Pediatrics. There is too much of a risk you would have to go see the other doctors and it's not worth it.

Our not-yet-born baby had an arrhythmia, with suspected PAC (or premature atrial contraction) at…read morethe 20 week ultrasound, and so we were referred to Village Pediatric Cardiology. My midwife highly recommended the practice, and said that she had good relationships with the doctors there and that they were not alarmists. I read up on PAC and apparently it's benign 99% of the time, so I wasn't too worried. We went to Village Pediatric Cardiology for a more detailed, heart-focused ultrasound at 21 weeks. The initial exam was about 30 minutes, and the nurse technician was friendly and competent. Once the scan had been done, Dr. Matthew Martinez came in and said that there was no trace of arrythmia - BUT - there was a mild case of "mitral valve regurgitation." Dr. Martinez showed me the video scan of the flow of blood in my peanut's heart and explained the physiology of the condition. I was unprepared for this news, know nothing at all about cardiology, and was kind of in a rush, so I basically asked him what was next, and what this diagnosis meant. He said he wanted to see me in two weeks to see if the regurgitation was the same, or if it had gotten worse. He said it was possible that I would lose the baby. I made sure I knew the exact name of the condition so I could Google it later, scheduled the follow-up, and left. Unfortunately the Google follow-up was NOT reassuring. There really isn't anything much on the web about the exact diagnosis of MILD cases of mitral valve regurgitation in fetuses. My guess is this may be to do with the fact that ultrasound scanning and techniques have only recently become good enough to diagnose it? In any case, when I went to my midwife the next day I was a mess. Fortunately she was very reassuring, and mentioned the condition could clear up on its own, and said I had a healthy baby. I tried unsuccessfully not to worry, followed my husband's advice of no more Googling for now, and went back in two weeks with my husband and with questions prepared - including questions that weren't diagnosis-specific, just in case (i.e. what research is available on the prognosis for this condition? What is your own personal clinical experience of this condition?) Again, the nurse technician was friendly and competent. And then Dr. Martinez came back with the news - all good. No arrhythmia, no PAC, no mitral valve regurgitation. All-clear low risk pregnancy, and no need to see him again unless the arrhythmia came back. What a relief!! For all other parents out there whose kiddos have heart problems, my heart goes out to you. Good luck!!

They seem to do everything backwards. Rather than have a doctor take a look at the patient before…read moresubjecting them to an EKG and echocardiogram, the doctors don't even take a look before running these procedures. This is the case even if the patient isn't presenting any symptoms of cardiac issues and is there only out of preponderance of caution. While that might not be so much of a problem for adult patients, this is a pediatrics practice and babies can get very stressed out while these are done. It seems to me that it would be much better for the patients if the doctor took a look to make sure that these procedures are necessary before running them. Seems to me that they are interested first and foremost in billing the insurance company for all that they can, with the patient's welfare coming in a distant second. The staff is also pretty bad, we had to correct our child's information multiple times and they usually didn't understand what we were trying to tell them even when it was a quite simple.

It appears that office have four doctors same time which is surprisingly good because you can get a cross opinion from another doctor right away.

All medical staff is professional and polite, they knows exactly what needs to be done and how to accomplish it meaning how to make patients happy. They really do provide outstanding service. I want to add that Dr. Khaimov is very thorough and will give you answers. He makes sure you leave there content. Highly recommend him! On same note I read a few reviews of some patiens.... It's so sorrow, I have a message for unhappy parents - Dear Parents, if you weren't happy for whatever reason in Dr. Khaimov office maybe you shouldn't be there, common people, you providing ridiculous reasons such as , why I have to pay co-payment? Or why we were waiting for half an hour or forty minutes? Or my baby keep crying after flu shot, especially dumb complains such as "nurses and doctors don't know what they are doing". I have a question to this parent - how you can judge knowledge of doctor? You gays are spoiled. Dr. Khaimov is amazing doctor, he is doctor by God's touch and his colleagues as well. And his entire team of nurses and medical assistants and front desk workers deserves the highly mark recognition.

Instead, the front desk guy told me it was the end of the day and insisted I call back tomorrow. Shocked, I could only respond with a stunned "wow" before saying I'd just wait and call the emergency line later. I guess he felt bad and had someone call me back. Unfortunately, the call I received left me feeling even worse. As a first-time mom to a 6-month-old, I needed guidance on what to do if my baby spiked a fever overnight. My very first question was whether I should take him to the ER if his temperature rose. The doctor responded with a scoff and, in a mocking tone, repeated, "ER?! You don't take him to the ER," before telling me to give him Tylenol and call back tomorrow. The lack of compassion from Dr. Benilevi has been deeply disheartening. No parent should ever be made to feel ashamed or afraid to ask questions about their child's health -- whether the concern is big or small. I should never have to fear calling my baby's healthcare provider, nor will I tolerate being spoken to with disrespect. It's clear that we deserve better, and I am now actively searching for a new pediatrics clinic. P.S. The only truly positive experience I've had there has been with Michelle (PA) and Dr. Omrani.

Then press repeat, call, wait over 20 minutes on hold and talk to the front desk. Wait a few days and no one calls you back. Then press repeat, again and again. Same crappy cycle of no one calling you back! If Yelp had zero stars, I'd choose that in lieu of one star. So my review is this: I'm beyond frustrated with Dr Patel and his office and pre-warn you now of the vicious and utterly ridiculous no call back cycle loop you may be put in. Avoid it by using a different Allergist. This is what I am now going to do.
