Generally clean, but chairs are worn out with ripped…read moreleather, the garbage can sits open next to water machine and seats (it should really have a cover in a place like this), and no one is required to wear masks. Front desk was ok, hard for them to hear me through the glass separators. Doctor was okay. You scan a QR code to register. The kiosks are no longer there. It's a bit annoying they ask for some of the same info despite having been there before. Apple Pay did not work. I waited about 15 min as a walk in. They took vitals and a test then had me sit in an exam room for an hour. I felt forgotten as I could hear more patients being called back and staff laughing/chatting outside. There was no sense of 'urgency' to be seen. For the hefty co-pay I had, I expected a little more.

I went to see this clinic ahead of a trekking trip in Peru. I had previously received the…read morerecommended vaccines but wasn't sure if I needed the yellow fever vax too. I was able to make a last minute appointment same-day which was truly clutch as other travel docs had nothing available for days. (Shame on me for waiting until the last second!) The building was relatively easy to find and the elevator took me nearly right to the front door of their suite. The waiting room has chairs spaced apart (likely still from COVID precautions) and was appreciated. Check-in was quite easy (a quick form on an iPad and a few questions on paper about the specific visit) though the front desk worker overcharged me. I sat in the waiting room for about 5 min past the scheduled appointment time but was called in right after which was refreshing as I know doctors often get backed up by the end of the day. The doctor himself was absolutely lovely! I mentioned where I was traveling and he was incredibly thorough with questions and determined I didn't need the yellow fever vaccine based on where I was going. He did prescribe a Z-Pak which was incredibly appreciated as I know others who did the same trip recommended it. He also had the front desk employee refund the overcharged amount. Overall I would recommend this place for anyone who needs a travel doctor and will absolutely be back ahead of my next trip!

Quick and efficient service with no appointment required. The doctor was friendly and attentive…read more However, I would like to mention a few concerns. I visited for a yellow fever vaccine, which involves a subcutaneous injection (administered into the fatty tissue beneath the skin). The injection site seemed a bit unusual (please see the attached picture), and later became inflamed, red, and swollen. I am planning to travel to Africa soon, and the doctor mentioned he would prescribe medication for traveler's diarrhea. However, when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me a prescription for malaria (something we had not discussed) and did not receive the Z-Pak prescription for traveler's diarrhea from the doctor's office. I had to return to the pharmacy the next day since they were closing.

Renee Kagan was the physician assistant. She was incredibly kind and generous and patient, and sat with me to figure out where the misunderstanding was. She looked up my flight destination to help ease my nerves about what kind of test was needed for entry, etc. She just went above and beyond, to ensure her staff was following protocol while also giving me some peace of mind. I left Urgent Care feeling really grateful that kind people like her exist. She had no ego, just concern and was incredibly solution oriented instead of just saying "too bad". I am so appreciative of her and her bedside manner. Oh, there is also no wait time and they honor appointments. Great experience overall. I took a star off because the person at the front had his mask just under his nose. I imagine this wasn't purposeful, but given that it's an urgent care, there should be mindfulness around this.

The front desk looked disgusted when I told her I didn't fill out my forms yet. I just booked the appointment 10min prior to my appointment. I came in for a possible concussion and the doctor looked at me like I was stupid the entire time and made me feel very uncomfortable. Definitely don't recommend.

Customer service here is horrible. I received a surprisingly high bill from a third party lab…read morecompany for tests that were done at this Urgent Care facility. I wasn't told at the time of service that I would be receiving two separate bills - 1 from the urgent care and another from a separate lab company - and thought that my insurance would cover my visit after I paid my deductible upfront before my visit. My insurance company told me that I needed to resolve the issue directly with the urgent care facility, not the lab company that they use. When I called this urgent care to quickly resolve the issue, I was given the runaround saying that no one could help me via phone and told that I needed to prepare a detailed written statement after which I'll likely be bounced around some more with no resolution. Do yourself a favor and go to CityMD by Queensboro Plaza instead. They have much better such service and a customer support team that's actually helpful.

Dr. Chen is amazing!!! He is an experienced doctor and very spot on with his diagnosis…read more I recently had persistent vertigo/dizziness for days. It was the worst thing ever and I was not able to function at all...I dragged my corpse to see Dr. Chen and he diagnosed me with vestibular neuritis. He prescribed meclizine and started treating me with acupuncture. The acupuncture really helped with the dizziness and I started feeling better after a week. When I finally got an appointment to see a specialist at NYU they confirmed it was neuritis. My 4 y/o daughter was playing with her grandfather and he pulled her arm and partially dislocate her elbow (nursemaid's elbow). We weren't able to get her an appointment at her pediatrician, but luckily Dr. Chen able to treat her and move it back in place. I've also gotten acupuncture with Dr. Chen for pregnancy weight loss and also chronic neck/back pain from sitting and working on a computer all day. Aside from how good Dr. Chen is, I've been to a few other urgent cares in the neighborhood, and in all honesty, is one by far the best and the cleanest. They also call you the next day to check up on you.

Even when the waiting room is packed, I am seen within an hour. Everyone here is kind and helpful which is so important in an Urgent Care. The payment and billing is easy and no surprise fees like citXXX (iykyk). I most recently saw Dr Michael Paltzman who offered to see me anytime this week if my symptoms got worse which was beyond thoughtful of him. I never feel rushed talking to the providers or intake staff. They all take their time to explain the symptoms, treatment, medication and plan moving forward. I've gone for a little bit of everything and I highly recommend!

I would have gone somewhere else but knew I wouldn't make the walk. They reluctantly gave me an ice pack after I asked which was great and helped tremendously, but receptionists looked at me like they wanted to kill me, were incredibly judgmental, and didn't even respond when I said thank you. Instead they just stared at me giving me a judgmental look like I was some white girl being dramatic. This behavior is unnecessary given the fact it's an urgent care and people go in needing help, and I was quiet and respectful when I went in.

This is completely unacceptable!!!! Avoid going to CityMD if is an emergency. The least they can do is let the person waiting that there is an emergency. They were not even busy. Just 4-5 people waiting. Very disappointing. On the complete opposite side, NYFD medical were excellent and professional. Thank you to NYFD!!!

Uninterested and rude, no eye contact. Least of my concerns... I wouldn't be surprised if this place is shut down within the year. Do better

They have the iPad stands that make for an easy check in and once you sign in the receptionist will reconfirm what you're there for / any other questions. I waited ~30 minutes and there were probably 10 people before me. It was super seamless and quick, and I felt like the receptionists were very communicative and helpful. One of the most seamless CityMD experiences I've had. Got my results via email around 45 minutes after. Would come back if needed.

I went to the front desk to explain my dilemma. I asked if I could go get my son quickly and return. I was told that if I did so I would have to get in line behind every person in the now crowded waiting room. I asked if I could return the following morning but was told I'd have to pay an entirely new copay. I asked if I could have my copay refunded since I never received my results and she said that was impossible since they had already taken my vitals. I asked if there was a customer service phone number I could reach out to, to which the young woman at the desk responded "for what?" (with a shrug). I asked if there was anyone in the practice I could appeal to, to which she said (with a smirk) "I'm the general manager on duty." So here I am, $75 and 90 minutes of my life lighter with no idea whether I have strep. I have no idea if this manager might have been able to pull some tiny string to help me out in my situation (though I imagine she could have) but what struck me more was her utter lack of empathy or interest in my problem or willingness to even appear to want to help me troubleshoot. To be sure, as I got more upset and desperate, she almost appeared to enjoy flexing her power in the face of my helplessness. Hooray for good customer service.
