On April 3rd was my 1st time at the practice with the PA Stella. She never asked about my medical history of my migraines or asked me about the migraines, very quickly looked at my imaging (CT scan, MRI, & MRA) like she was scanning them, and very quick looked at my migraine journal. She never look at my intake form or my migraine questionnaire that was still in my hand until I went to signed out at the front desk- she never asked if it was done for her to looked at, never look at my intake form, never asked what meds I'm on & what meds I have been taking for my migraines. She didn't say anything information about the Botox - side effects, where the injection would be, no information at all (I found out how many unit it was though the patient portal). The only 3 things that was asked by the PA during that appointment was 1) what can I help with you? (which I kinda found that question to be a little rude to be asked). 2) when was your last bloodwork? & 3) where did you get bloodwork done? And she also asked if i need a refill on Quilpta that hasn't been working - i been on it since Dec 24 that wasn't worked. When I spoke to the Botox department at the providers office because of me getting a texted about my Botox approval and I found out that the PA I saw on 4/3 put them misinformation on my authorization for my health insurance to cover, which was light sensitivity and vomiting which vomiting does not ever happen with my migraines. Light sensitivity & noise sensitivity only happens when my migraines are worse. The PA never asked about my migraines episodes + the PA never over critical information (intake form, headache questionnaire). The Botox department sent an email to the office manager because that was a huge issue on the PA part. The Botox department is aware I'm holding off from doing the Botox for now. I have to decided to hold off on doing Botox due to huge issues going on that the office manger & my health insurance is involved and looking into what happen. I found out from both the authorization & the orders on my very minimal medical records that the injections will be every 12weeks and 200 units of it. On April 18, I found out though the specialist pharmacy that's been calling me about my Botox refilled prescription that gets sent to the provider office for my Botox. The pharmacy was shocked that the PA didn't discussed my medication and also put me in harm way because I'm on a muscle relaxer that I take daily 4x a day and if I did Botox (which I'm holding off). Both the muscle relaxer & Botox will cause muscle weakness- I'm really upset that Stella would do something like this because she didn't a full medical history, exam, etc. In June 25, my health insurance is still has Stella under investigation and no longer participating with them (health first) -------------------------------------------------- Forward to June 20, I saw Dr. Ahmed, who was very nice, she took a details history, did a detailed exam, and created a treatment plan for me. She said because my migraines aren't happening 15+ days a month that's Botox isn't a great treatment plan yet but might be in the future it might. We are trying different meds first and she told me to keep track on migraine buddy instead of hand writing for my migraine journal. She put me on Symbravo as a rescue med and took over my Nurtec prescription - which I don't mind her doing at all.

What makes this even more concerning is that she has renal failure and serious medical conditions that should have been carefully considered beforehand. Our family is extremely upset and disappointed by how this situation was handled. We trusted this office with her care, and instead she ended up in the hospital dealing with a dangerous medical emergency. Patients with complex health issues deserve thorough risk discussions, proper monitoring, and more caution before procedures like this are performed. I would strongly encourage anyone with diabetes, kidney disease, or other serious health concerns to ask a lot of questions and fully understand the risks before agreeing to treatment here.

My wife was diagnosed with Stage 1, Grade 3, triple-positive breast cancer, and we have been…read morereceiving treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering for the past several months. We initially chose MSK because the cold cap treatment was covered by our insurance, and we expected the high level of care and coordination that a world-renowned cancer center is known for. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing. The biggest issue is that the facility appears to be severely understaffed. It is not uncommon to arrive early for an appointment and then wait anywhere from two to four hours before being seen. Communication between the nursing staff, clerical staff, physicians, and schedulers has been poor, creating confusion and unnecessary stress for patients and their families. We travel from Manorville for these appointments, and the lack of organization has made an already difficult situation even harder. My wife has completed chemotherapy and now only receives Herceptin injections, yet we continue to experience excessive delays. On one occasion, we received a text message informing us that the office was running three hours behind schedule. My wife is a nurse and repeatedly had to advocate for her own care. Before one of her surgeries, she had to request basic preoperative lab work herself. Patients should not have to push for what they believe are standard evaluations, especially at a world-class cancer center. Several incidents seriously undermined our confidence in the quality of care being provided. My wife experienced symptoms concerning for a pulmonary embolism, yet it took approximately 36 hours to fully evaluate and rule it out. We were also left seeking outside diagnostic testing to evaluate potential heart-related complications rather than having those concerns proactively addressed. Following her port placement, retained stitches were left behind and had to be removed. During cold cap treatments, obtaining pain medication became a frustrating struggle rather than a routine discussion about patient comfort. One of the most concerning experiences involved my wife's laboratory results. She noticed significant changes in her lab values and expressed concern to the nursing staff. Those concerns were dismissed. Two days later, she was nearly septic from an infection that required medical attention. While not every complication can be prevented, concerns from actively treated cancer patients should never be casually dismissed. Communication regarding pathology, biopsy results, and treatment updates was equally disappointing. We were often left reviewing reports through the patient portal without a call or explanation from a provider. No patient should have to interpret complex medical findings on their own while undergoing cancer treatment. The only consistently positive part of our experience was the PCTs and nursing assistants. They appeared overworked and understaffed, yet they were often the kindest and most compassionate people we encountered. Unfortunately, our experience with many infusion nurses was very different. Nurses frequently entered the room, hung medications, and left without introducing themselves or explaining what medications were being administered or why. Patients deserve to understand the treatments they are receiving. We also became frustrated with what felt like a rigid, protocol-driven approach to treatment. Decisions appeared to be based almost exclusively on a single clinical trial, while other studies and treatment discussions raised by my wife were routinely dismissed. We expected a more personalized approach that considered her specific history, symptoms, treatment response, and concerns. To make matters worse, we were incorrectly billed approximately $12,000 due to an administrative error. While the issue was eventually corrected, it created significant and unnecessary stress during an already overwhelming time. What was most upsetting was the attitude of some of the staff. The nurse manager was extremely rude, and the charge nurse came across as cold, dismissive, and unapproachable. When patients are battling cancer, compassion and communication matter just as much as medical treatment. MSK may have an outstanding reputation, but our experience was marked by poor communication, excessive wait times, lack of coordination, billing errors, dismissive attitudes, and a disappointing lack of individualized care. Cancer patients and their families are already carrying an enormous burden. They deserve timely care, proactive communication, and confidence that their concerns are being taken seriously. Based on our experience, I wish I could give this place zero stars.
