Years ago I was searching for a new doctor to see me after moving to Queens from upstate NY…read more(Rochester). Decided to visit Smart Health Medical and specifically see Dr. Vi and I was so pleased with my first visit I've never gone anywhere else in the last five years! The office accepts walk-ins (from what I remember written on the door, I could be wrong) as well as appointments, and they have great late night and weekend hours a couple times a week. I continue to see Dr. Vi for annual physicals, check-ups and any unknown symptoms even after moving to the Bronx. When I move out of the city someday I'll be sad to leave Dr. Vi behind but while I'm here I cannot recommend her enough. As everyone says, she cares about her patients and takes her time with us. She actively listens and is so well versed in so many different types of treatments and good lifestyle habits. If you don't need pills, she''ll tell you that and offer up better everyday habits that can help you live and feel better. She takes a holistic approach to your health and is in no way a pill-pusher looking to make insurance money off you. Most of my visits result in a clean bill of health after taking vitals, and blood or urine samples on site--if necessary. But when you do need a scan, treatment or prescription she goes above and beyond to make sure you get exactly what you need, when you need it, and makes sure it's covered under your insurance so you're not hit with sticker shock at the pharmacy or referred specialist. The office even faxed my referral paperwork to a specialist when I forgot the paper at home before my appointment. Saved me from having to reschedule or take off work to go home and get it. I could go on and on but there's no need. Dr. Vi has been the best doctor I've ever seen in my 30 years who does more than anyone I've seen to care for her patient's needs.

I called the office today to have my husbands blood pressure medication refilled and I was told…read moresince he is currently in between getting new insurance he has to pay $30 just to have the office call in the prescription. Not to mention then having to pay out of pocket for the medication itself. That is absolutely absurd! Talk about greed! You would think being a medical provider help out your patient especially if you're aware the medication is needed. I was baffled as to why wouldn't the doctor give a few refills now it makes perfect sense! Everytime you need one you call them and if you have insurance they slap your insurance with a fee and if you don't have insurance well cash it up! Time for a new doctor soon as the new insurance kicks in. What happened to doctors actually caring about their patients? This one is motivated by money. Takes 2 seconds to call or send an electronic request to the pharmacy.

I recently noticed that my blood pressure had been consistently high over the past few weeks, and I am not currently on any antihypertensive medication. Concerned, I emailed Dr. Huang's office today, and to my amazement, within just a couple of hours, Dr. Huang herself personally called me. Her dedication, responsiveness, and genuine care are absolutely remarkable. She is the only doctor I can always rely on for swift, compassionate, and expert care. After more than 10 years as my trusted PCP, she continues to exceed my expectations. Dr. Huang is simply the best--highly, highly recommend!

Dr. Tang has been my family's doctor since my father was in high school. He's a reliable doctor. I…read moredon't think I ever encountered him being on vacation. He's a old school work horse. I've been coming here since I was literally an infant. Dr. Tang and his receptionist are really nice people. Dr. Tang speaks English, Cantonese, and mandarin while his receptionist can speak the same as him but also Taiwanese which is great for our family. I've gotten my blood work done here many times and never experienced any difficulties. I don't have anything really bad to say about Dr. Tang other than his handwriting. His doctor notes for when I was a student were some of the worse doctor notes I ever seen in my life. My teachers and I could barely make out what he scribbled on paper. His office is no longer in Jackson Heights. Way back in the day, it was near Newtown High School on Corona Ave in one of those orange brick buildings which is now demolished. His new location is listed below. To get here, simply take the M or R train to Grand Ave Newtown and his office is right around the corner from the deli and Gino's Pizzeria. Cash or check only. For bank ATM, the nearest HSBC, Chase bank is about a 5 minute walk away on Queens Blvd. The office is closed on Wednesdays and I suggest making an appointment ahead of time. Walk-in visits usually wait a long time. I noticed during every visit since he moved to Justice Ave, his office has gotten much busier. A simple appointment through the phone will help save you time when you need to visit. 87-08 Justice Ave. Suite 1-I Elmhurst, NY 11373

So I make an appointment to see Dr Tang who is my default insurance PCP with my new health plan. I…read morearrive and the secretary asks me to fill out a scrap sheet of paper with no markings on it, she asked me to put my name number address ect and takes a copy of my insurance card. She hands me a pencil that has been sharpened in such a way that there is about a quarter inch of graphite sticking out and it looks like any pressure beyond resting it on the paper will snap it. She says the co pay is $60 I offer to pay with an HSA VISA card she says cash or check only. That would have been nice information to have when I called and made the appointment. I ask if there is an ATM in the building, she says she thinks there is one around the corner. I step out of the building and the door closes behind me, a woman asks me f this is dr tangs office, I say yes, she asks how o get in because the door man was not at his post and there was no one to press the button. I said I was going to find an ATM and hope a door man gets back when I return. A quarter mile walk to the nearest chase ATM a with drawl and a quarter mile walk back in the rain and thankfully the door man has returned. I return to the office and the secretary seemed surprised that I came back. Now I meet Dr Tang, the first thing I noticed was that English is not his first language and he doesn't speak it very well. I have no problem with immigration, I don't care where people come from or how they get here and I appreciate anyone trying to learn the English language. But I was hoping I would not have to talk about my medical history with someone who I truffle to express myself to. I told him I have had hearing loss since I was 2 years old. He responds saying eating loss for two years. I correct him saying oven had hearing loss since I was 2 years old. He repeats, yes 2 years. I don't think he understood what I was trying to say to him. He had to take some blood and I explained I have a tendency to faint during blood tests, it's my one character flaw. The blood test went fine, but when it was done I fainted. I was in a chair with no arms and woke up with my face planted on the floor and his assistant and another patient trying to help me up. I was ten asked to pee in a cup (a plastic disposable drinking cup) and pour it in a vial. Ignoring the fact that the sample is contaminated by what ever is in the plastic cup the idea that I was expected to carefully pour my own urine from a wide rimmed cup to a skinny rimmed vial seemed like something a hidden camera show would do. Thankfully I didn't spill any urine and returned the sample vial to the tray. Another thing I feel I have to mention was that in his office I noticed a container labeled used sharps (a common site to see in a medical office) but I also noticed that the safety lid wasn't on and there was nothing from preventing them from spilling for would be knocked over. That's like a huge thing in my book, it shows he is careless and doesn't put safety first. So that's my epic review. I'm planning on changing PCPs ASAP
