Dr. Ira Steinmetz is a Rare Gem in Doctors. My husband and…read moreI shuffled through doctors in Brooklyn to find him. Dr. Steinmetz is just a caring, understanding, well-mannered, humble, and gracious person. I have to say person, because he has to be such a person first to be a doctor with those qualities. Not to be ignored is his staff. His staff is just as courteous and understanding. I read reviews putting them down - but I beg to say, the person writing such a review, doesn't quite have an understanding of what to expect from an office staff in such a delicate yet fast-moving environment, attending to phones, patients, and any requests of the doctor... May Jehovah God bless Dr. Steinmetz and his staff, giving all of them good health and long life so they may take care of us who need them.

Will find a nicer doctor with a nicer staff. As my primary care physician retired Dr. Steinmetz was recommended to me. My doctor sent my medical record but when I called to make an appointment this horrific woman at the front desk said she shredded the records. She was so nasty. I wouldn't go there if he was the only doctor in Brooklyn.

Medical care is excellent. Dr. Ftiha listens carefully and makes referrals to excellent…read morespecialists. He's great at blood draws, and the office I go to on 5th Avenue in Park Slope is clean and comfortable. Dr. Ftiha's office hours are limited so plan ahead. My only issue is the attitude of one of his front-desk assistants. The employee seated on the left, "Hope," is rude on the phone and also, very frequently, in person. She works in a busy office but should prioritize treating patients politely (we're already nervous about being seen by the doctor.) A show of more patience and assisting us with more respect would be helpful. The rest of the staff is very professional and also kind to newer patients like myself. I've been to the office a fair number of times and have NOT received the same kindness from Hope. She seems quick to get huffy and can be snappy. Overall. I cannot give a 5-star rating after being snapped at several times. But no issues with the doctor's care.

As a resident of Park Slope since 1973, I have been a patient of Drs. Alber and Elie for several…read moredecades. In all of that time, neither of them has ever been anything but highly competent, kind, friendly, patient, gentle, and extremely knowledgeable. For those of us who are phobic about blood tests or injections, I can promise you that you have never experienced the utter lack of pain or discomfort waiting for you at the hands of either Dr. Alber or Elie. It's sheer magic! They have expanded the number and locations of their offices over the years, and the number of internists and other specialists in their practice. Each office is clean, quiet, and neat, and the receptionists are also kind and competent. And for those of us who live in Park Slope, their proximity to New York Presbyterian / Methodist Hospital couldn't be more convenient! Excellent medical care and treatment!!

Here we are thinking she's about to get some sort of cancer diagnosis when in reality, the doctor needed to tell her that she had a vitamin deficiency. During normal times, this would be a comedic oddity, but during a pandemic which is killing the elderly at high rates it is totally unacceptable and unprofessional. We suspect this was all so that she could bill the insurance for an office visit.

Even the unusual health issue becomes ordinary. Her compassion and love for her patients is demonstrated at every visit. My in-hospital experience was beyond professional. She ensures that the appropriate consults were given and saw me daily. Daily rounds and updated health status by Dr. Perlova made me feel as if I was her only patient. She is an asset to her profession. Her office staff respect and admire her. They maintain much professionalism and privacy for all patients. I without any reservation would highly recommend Dr. Perlova.

Surely, on busy days they might be under stress, but they are always helpful. The waiting times are slightly longer then by other doctors, but in exchange you will receive excellent medical service. I highly advice this doctor.

I have known Dr. Rakhmanchik approximately ten years. When I had good health and few complaints, I…read morefound him to be an excellent doctor. He is charismatic, pleasant, knowledgeable, obviously has a lot of experience under his belt, helpful, practical, and on the same wave length agreeing with me that the less medication, the better. But as soon as I had something of a serious nature for the first time in my life, he for some reason is not able to accept my complaints as valid. And he breaks one of the rules of doctoring which is to believe the patient's complaints! He has actually for the past seven months been denying that what I describe as my symptoms are happening! This is the logical extension of his sunny disposition. I remember now that he has often been that way. I once told him that after wearing a heart monitor for 13 days, the result was first degree heart block. He said, "Oh, that's nothing!" My stepdaughter told him he had a spot on her lung of 0.5 centimeter. He said, "Oh, that's nothing!" And I remember how in past years, I always leave his office feeling better than when I came. But the day came seven months when I presented with a serious condition, and he has persisted and persisted since in saying, "Oh, that's nothing. It's all in your mind." (He has actually told me that the main thing wrong with me is my mind. I learned that that is called "gaslighting.") And I know that isn't true, and I know he is wrong. And if this same thing happens to you, you should be apprised that that is the day you must make a decision--whether to continue to put yourself in danger or to part ways.
