My new insurance company appointed this "Urgent Care" as my primary Doctor, but hadn't sent my insurance card. I showed them my first bill with account # which they could have looked up to confirm. The sweet receptionist called her manager to approve who basically told me to drop dead. The apologetic, professional receptionist told me I should go to the emergency room which is what I did. People in the medical field take an oath not to turn away those in need of medical care. This was unprofessional, rude and just plain evil. That old lady should be fired, but she's probably a family member since this is a "family operation." BEWARE!

Now the staff is nice and gives you attention when you're with them (with the exception of the front desk lady, not Calvin-he's the guy!). I make appointments for a reason. Not to say I'm coming for that time to wait the whole day to be seen. I waited 2 hours and have yet to be seen. It's ridiculous. I respect your time as a MD, NP, whatever it doesn't matter. I respect your time and that's it. It's not cool when my time is not respected when an appointment was made. They're response was that they're waiting on a room. For 2 hours!? Then the next appointment is May 25. Sorry but I need to deal with people and institutions that honor time.

I feel as though they just don't care, about patients. Very disappointed. I had my previous Dr. for 20 years, I never waited for more then an hour for them to call in a prescription, especially because its a chronic condition. I'm not asking for a controlled substance, I am asking for an antibiotic.

I was looking for a solid nearby venue for my mom to receive quality care. It is very hard for me…read moreto watch my mom age and unable to do what she used to. Additionally, the majority of my mom's doctors are at HSS and Weill Cornell in Manhattan but I wanted a third backup place close to her home. Thus, I researched places that could provide necessary checkups on her: overall health, blood pressure maintenance, bloodwork and hopefully obtain a solid aide that can monitor her weekly. Getting an appointment with this location was a bit challenging: I called in January and was told no availability until April. I spoke to a rep, Kimberly, and asked to be put on a cancellation list. In February, Kimberly called to state there was a cancellation and I made the appointment for March 20th. My sister and I visited Oak prior to appointment and were pretty impressed with the premises. The first appointment is to get to know my mom, her health history, check her vitals and make a second appointment for next month. The visit was extremely thorough, professional and all staff members were genuinely nice. Special recognition to Regina, first point of welcoming committee, who explained the Oak Street Health process. Shamba who took my mom's vitals and asked questions regarding her activity, any recent falls, etc Lastly we met with Dr. Charmaine Gonzalez, PCP who reviewed my mom's current medication, health issues and took the time to get to know my mom. Additional, Kimberly who communicated consistently to lmk she was keeping an eye on cancellations. Lastly, my mom was extremely happy with the services received and that's the most important for me. This is a sigh of relief for me and look forward to the next appointment with mom.

Brooklyn Free Clinic is a shining example of everything American medicine needs to be (but isn't at…read moreall). I had an amazing experience here last night - from the friendliness of reception to the professionalism of the medical staff - and the only downside I saw was that this free community service is one that more people don't know about. Hopefully this review will help to change that (BFC wasn't even a Yelp entry until I added it! I learned about it on the Brokelyn website). So, yes, I am an overeducated, underemployed working class hero (hey, it's something to be). I moved to New York this summer in, as Johnny Cash and June Carter would say, a fever. While I'm looking for faculty positions (insert standard grumbling about the economy, etc etc), I am working as an editor whose employer does not offer health insurance. Oh, the American dream! I have been feeling pretty under the weather the entire month of January, but didn't go to the doctor because... well, I don't have one because I'm uninsured. Finally, my gross coughing and scratchy voice got to be too much. I looked up free clinics in Brooklyn. Enter the Brooklyn Free Clinic. I was slightly skeptical since the clinic was not on Yelp, and because when anything is "free" it is usually over-used. I imagined long lines, a dirty lobby, and being turned away after waiting in a dingy waiting room for hours with angry receptionists and sneezing children. NONE of this was true. Located in the heart of Bed-Stuy, the Free Clinic is run by the SUNY Downstate Medical Center - by med students and volunteers, and one (amazing) doctor on staff. I arrived promptly at 5:30pm - the clinic is ONLY open Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm right now. Their website says that walk-ins are welcome, but warns also that you may not be seen, as current patients sometime wait up to three months for appointments. When I arrived, the very pleasant reception staff told me that it may not be possible to see me tonight, but that if I didn't mind waiting, they would try to fit me in. About half an hour later, they had me filling out paperwork and I officially became a client. I'm not going to lie, the wait is long, and when you have a gross cough like I do, it can be slightly uncomfortable - but it is completely worth it. The lobby is utilitarian - it reminds me of, surprised, socialized medicine (I mean this in a positive way - I am all for socialized everything), and after the local and national news was over, one of the staff popped in a very informative (but also super cheesy, heh) video on STD testing (said video was made before the acronymic switch to "STI" - but was nonetheless effective in conveying its message) for the lobby to enjoy. Anyhow, when you're finally called, you check in with a social worker, a step that is a wonderful asset to a slightly rough neighborhood. She will tell you about all the services that the clinic offers (which include women's reproductive health, mental health, and STI testing), and ask you about yourself. The social worker who interviewed me was very pleasant and helpful. You then have to go back and wait a little while longer. Remember, these are volunteers and medical students, and all the services are free. It was a little before 8pm before I was seen. The 1st year and 3rd year medical students who did my preliminary check up were wonderful. We yucked it up about grad school and they teased me for not knowing exactly where my lungs are (hey, my doctorate is in the humanities!). The 3rd year med student was super helpful in talking to me about general health, as well as in giving a preliminary diagnosis. Dr. Kaiser Islam is the medical director of the clinic, and he sees each patient to confirm diagnoses and to write prescriptions if necessary. Turns out I have an inner ear infection, mild strep, and a mystery cough. But guess what?! The antibiotics that I needed to get - one prescription was free when filled at Rite Choice pharmacy across the street on Fulton, and the other was very inexpensive. If I hadn't found the Brooklyn Free Clinic, I would have let all of this go , and possibly had worse infections. Seriously? Seriously. I cannot speak highly enough of the Brooklyn Free Clinic. It incites me to anger to think of the state of health care in this country, and having had health insurance my whole life until now, I am honored and humbled to have had such a positive experience at the free clinic - particularly when I have had really shitty experiences at expensive specialist clinics in the past. ALL medicine should be like this. I believe if you can pay, then yes, please by all means contribute to your health care. But we all have rough times in our lives, and until we're on our feet, there is always the Brooklyn Free Clinic. Don't be afraid to humble yourself a little - remember, you can always give back when things are on the ups. BFC: Come on in, the water's nice down here.

If you know you need to go ahead of time, I'd highly recommend making an appointment. In total I spent almost 5 hours there -- I was last on the list. The nursing student and Registered Nurse who did my intake were very kind and professional, as were the two medical students who eventually saw me. While in the exam room I was even visited by a sexual health counselor who offered free HIV & Hep-C testing, which I thought was cool at a free clinic. In the end, I got the care I needed, got a prescription, and received my medication from the pharmacy the next day, all without paying a cent (I did pay with my time though). If you don't have health insurance and need to see a doctor, I'd recommend this clinic! Just make sure you make an appointment in advance. And bring a book to pass the time in the waiting room.

Anita, the receptionist is the first face you see and you can't wash your eyes of her attitude. She makes people feel little. I have a graduate degree and am well-traveled and still she made me feel stupid and uninformed. I felt worse for an older Haitian woman who repeated her question to Anita only for Anita to repeat, "Have a seat and wait for your name to be called." There is no hospitality and no respect for people's levels understanding. If you continue to try to get an understanding of how the office works, she will result to ignoring you. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Cary Daniel himself, other than he's made bad decisions in having staff like Anita. The office manager, Monique, is no better. I asked Anita to refund my co-payment and instead of Anita saying, "One moment, I'll call the manager," she simply picked up the phone made an announcement for Monique to come to the front and continued to type on the computer - no acknowledgement for me. Monique arrived and didn't ask me to explain the situation or anything. She didn't care that a patient was upset with the service or anything. Like a robot, she simply asked, "What is your phone number?" Anita continued to mumble under her breath and no one told her to stop. There is no professionalism. I wanted to see this doctor because he is a Black man and many have recommended him. But to get to him, I will not go through disrespectful, unprofessional and unhappy staff.
