Whenever I reach out to him by phone or through the portal, he always gets back to me quickly. When impresses me most is that he knows who I am and he manages my medication.

I'm sure she is not intending on taking the call. My aunt is 82 years old and has had many very serious heart issues in the past year, been in and out of ICU. All she needs is her medication renewed. My whole family and I have been calling and leaving messages for the past week with no answer or no call back. I finally (after a week of trying) got in touch with someone yesterday who ASSURED me they sent over all 6 and then rushed me off the phone. Got to the pharmacy and they hadn't sent over anything!!! Planning on pursuing legal action at this point. Disgusting office and they don't care at all about their patients.

So after 15 years of being a Prohealth patient I AM DONE. Primary care needs to change their name…read moreto I DON'T CARE. Try calling for an appointment, on hold forever. Great call back system, "leave your number and we will call you back ASAP". I called 4X w/o a call back. MY (EX) primary refused to refill some RX w/o seeing me for a few months. She is 100% correct. The only problem is she is not available for 2 plus months! So I left he a message that I can't get an appointment can she step in and advise as to what I should do. OF course, no call back except from my pharmacy who received a call that I need to make an appointment. I called again and was advised that my Dr. is not available. SOLUTION is to get rid of every prohealth Dr. I see and switch to a new group.

I visit my internist at this location that is employed by Northwell Health. Marius Leon Pessah, MD…read moreis a New York-based Northwell Health physician who specializes in Internal Medicine and is one of the doctors that resides at this locale. The medical office is in excellent condition, but a face lift that offers a welcoming environment, with modernized lighting would be an added pleasure to the waiting room. Meanwhile, the staff is friendly and very accommodating for waiting patients. Marius Leon Pessah, MD is my primary physician at this location. I have been incredibly pleased with my experiences with the doctor. He treats you with professionalism and care. Although the doctor does have a busy practice, I have been always able to schedule an appointment easily and I have received a response to any questions often the same day that I had called. I have consulted with other doctors in my life, and I am fortunate to find a MD that is knowledgeable, accommodating, and concerned as Marius Leon Pessah, MD This a doctor that makes an investment in the health and well-being of his patients. A rare quality that I have not seen from other MD's. I most definitely recommend Marius Leon Pessah, MD

I really like this doctor and his easy-going attitude. The two times I have been here for a…read morephysical have been quick and painless. I think people need more than that in a general practitioner. My only complaint is when I went to get a thyroid scan I had to call him numerous times to get his feedback on the scan. The process literally took a month just to track him down. His staff is decent at trying to track him down but be prepared to wait on the line for 5 to 10 minutes. The whole practice seems to lack compassion and familiarity with the patient. Overall I probably won't stay with this doctor but I've been to worse.

I've been going to Dr. Joannow since 2003 and I adore her. In the interest of full disclosure, I…read moredid send two friends to her and they didn't love her- Doctors are a very tricky thing and I can make no promises that she's the right doc for you just because she's right for me. Here are just some of the reasons I love going to Dr. Joannow: 1) She gives me an HIV test as part of my annual exam. It has nothing to do with my sex life, it's just a routine thing that she believes in and I think all doctors should follow suit. 2) In seven years she's maybe bruised my arm drawing blood once. I have colitis so I get a lot of blood tests, and this kind of track record is amazing 3) She's very concerned with female health and likes to be kept in the loop with my ob/gyn. 4) She loves to chat, but also listens and is very responsive to concerns and requests. 5) She's on call. I know it sometimes frustrates her because people take advantage of this, but it really is reassuring knowing that I can ping her on her cell phone in an emergency. 6) She supports local business and turned me on to Olympia Chemists, which is my new pharmacy and beats the hell out of CVS. 7) If she's booked up and you need to get in to see her she'll make every effort to squeeze you in- you just have to be comfortable with waiting patiently for her to have a window of opportunity between scheduled patients. She's not in her Astoria office everyday because she's sometimes at the hospital and I believe also has a practice on Long Island (I might be wrong about that) but she's a tireless and devoted woman who genuinely cares more about the patient than the money. We've shared many a gripe about Insurance companies and poor interpersonal skills within the health care industry. Again, I can't promise that a doctor that's right for me will be right for you, but I recommend giving her a try. Oh, also of note, she has a policy for referrals and other types of paper work. She prefers to have a week to get that sort of stuff done, because doing it all at the time of request would eat-up her time with patients. It's a bit of a pain, but I understand why she has that policy and I appreciate the thought behind it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Garry Stark's for a few years. However, during the Covid-19 pandemic…read morehe has been unavailable and unconcerned. When I called in June to make an appointment I was told that the office had been closed and Dr. Stark took an extra three weeks off. Then I needed a medical letter for my job and called the office to learn that he was on vacation. I asked if another doctor could help me but was told "no." I also was told that he had no available appointments for the next three months. The office manager said she would inquire and see if anyone could help. But when I called to follow up I was told she "was in meetings and unavailable." No one ever got back to me and I never got a much needed letter. The doctor and his staff were completely INDIFFERENT. Ordinarily I would not accept this treatment but in a pandemic, it is negligence.

And he is readily available to his patients. But Stark's best quality is that he is thorough as all hell. He caught a Schwannoma (a benign tumor common in people in their 50's) on my 20 year old sister's spine with tiniest of symptoms. He is not afraid to send you for a test, but he does not waste time & money on tests you don't really need. Just a great General Practitioner.
