I like them very much and they make you feel as if you are a part of the team and just a regular walk-in sick person. They are very helpful and I like how they minimize the paper work which can be so annoying when you go to a doctor's office. I do wish them luck, prosperity and all the business that they can get and keep. LA CHERRY

Dr. Hentek is a top rate physician. She's straight forward and to the point and unpretentious…read more She's seen me on some of my worst days and given me top rate service. I remember once coming in to see Dr. Hentek with a chest and sinus infection. She saw me, gave me a perscription and left the office. When she came back in the exam room, she noticed I was in pain and couldn't stand. She asked me about it and wrote me a perscription for that as well. . Dr. Hentek saw that I was in pain and treated me for that distress. I'm thankful for her genuine concern. I realized that it didn't occur to me to ask her about anything for my back because I'd been told that the pain would pass by another physician and that I should just take Alieve. I'm a person of color and as such, I've experienced doctors who are hesitant to perscribe pain medication so I subconsiously didn't ask even though I was in the doctor's office. I have changed general physicians though. I had a visit with Dr. Hentek after I'd lost a significant amount of weight 30+ lbs. Dr. Hentek made a comment to me about making an effort to loose more. I shared my regiment and told her about the results I'd had in the previous months and instead of suggesting alternate options she just told me about the negative effects of excess weight and told me to loose more. Of course I have some idea of the negative effects of excess weight otherwise I wouldn't have embarked on the effort I did to loose the weight I had. Physically the doctor is larger than I am so I felt she should be a little more sensitive and construct in offering feedback on weightloss. I was pretty insulted so I'm no longer seeing Dr. Hentek. Women if you're a size 14 or above; you might want to see another doctor.

I've recommended this place to all my friends and they rave about the level of care they receive compared to the busy patient mills around the city where you are the 40th person to see the doctor on a given day. The doctors here are generous with their time and answer all my questions. I'll be bringing all my kids to see Doctor Firoze and Doctor Viñas.

There are some folks who are part of the system there who are indelibly kind and empathic and there are a select few who may have been given access to too much power too quickly or for the wrong reasons. I have had some receptionists, nurses, tech staff, etc., who were so kind and thoughtful that I would send my children to them, and there have been only a small few that were rude and had to have me tell them about themselves. I recommend to ANYONE who is not rich or famous trying to get medical care in NYC to always have family and friends around who can advocate for you. Even if they never have to speak on your behalf, Their presence also lets the staff know that you have people looking out for you.

But after a couple days of getting worse I call back to speak with someone. The one star review and reason you should see a regular doctor is that after repeated calls to a national call center (you can't reach the office directly) to try and get the doctor to call me be (their message asked me to call back with any issues) I repeatedly never heard back from anyone. 3 times i requested a call-back and nothing after 5 DAYS. Awful customer service and different info each time I spoke to the national call person. Will never use this place again. Find a real doctor office.

I had an extremely traumatic experience with Alvita a few years ago and now that I've just received…read morea letter about patient information being compromised in a hacking, I'm compelled to warn others about trusting loved ones in the care of this organization. When my mom was returning home after a debilitating stroke, we decided to bite the bullet and go with Alvita - which was more expensive than others but long calls with their rep assured me my mom would be in amazing hands and I'd be able to rest easy and enjoy "being a daughter again." The *best* of the three aides they sent was notably cold upon meeting her, and one whom my mom told me would literally snap and curse loudly when lifting her in the hoyer and doing her duties, making her feel like a burden and making her feel on eggshells in her own home. After that, it became a full nightmare. On the morning of a doctor appointment, where the aide was asked to have mom ready to go for her wheelchair transport, the aide literally left in the middle of changing mom - without any reason, warning or notice. I thought she was taking out garbage but she genuinely just ghosted. As a result, mom missed an important appointment with her oncologist while laying there undressed and helpless. That wasn't even the worst. The final aide, who didn't last long due to her cat phobia (side note, when reaching out to Alvita, their solution: maybe just get rid of the cats), we learned had been putting dirty, soiled/food-filled pots and pans away in mom's cupboards. As a result, the aide who took over discovered maggots everywhere and we had to replace a ton of mom's cookware. (I would share a photo if it wasn't so gross.) The recklessness and negligence of this company and its hiring decisions is unreal. Thankfully my mom had me to advocate and look out for her through all of this, but it's terrifying to think about folks without a support system who are on their own in the hands of people like these and sharing their homes with them. I highly recommend directing your loved ones anywhere else. Or making sure you check in frequently on the welfare of anyone you already happen to have in Alvita's system.
