I love Dr. Markowitz.

I'm so happy I did because he actually made me feel better, not only physically but happier to know that he genuinely cares about my well being. My coworker warned me that an appointment with him would likely take weeks to a few months to receive but his administrative staff, Michelle and Kathy, are so great and I was able to see him a few days after my first call to the office. They are on top of his schedule and they call patients when openings become available so as to accommodate. I work in the medical field so I know we can be hypochondriacs but I trust him enough to not second guess his opinions or directives. It is refreshing and calming to know that my doctor wants me to be well as much as I want to be well, to listen to my concerns and address them and make me feel as though I have a part to play in decisions about my health care. I am so happy to have found Dr. Markowitz. He is a treasure to the field of medicine. More doctors should carry themselves, professionally, as he does.

If you want the best, Dr. Markowitz is it. I have GERD and needed an upper endoscopy. After…read moreputting it off for too long, I finally decided that I should do it. I spent almost a day researching GI docs in the New York area. I made two appointments...one with Dr. Markowtiz and one with some other doc. Both doctors I met with have mega-credentials and are in the "Best Doctors in America" book. However, the first guy I saw was way too fast and seemed to have no empathy for me at all. He was part of a faculty practice at Mt. Sinai and had some lady doing her fellowship meet with me for the majority of the visit. I did not wait several months for an appointment to meet with some random woman doing her fellowship. Then I went to see Dr. Markowtiz. It took me like 3 or 4 months to get an appointment with him....but I was fine with waiting...as this was not pressing. Dr. Markowitz is a very personable down to earth doctor who takes his time and listens to what you have to say. He saw me personally, not some assistant or resident...it was only him. I could tell right away that this guy is an absolute pro. He did the procedure, which was nothing and I'm fine. I highly recommend Dr. Markowitz. From what I gather, he is one of the best GI docs in the country. And on top of that, he is a nice guy.

She was great with our newly diagnosed Asthmatic 3 -year-old. The only downfall was the wait. We were new patients, appointment was for 2:30 and we were not seen until 6:30, left the office at 7. Also she's only in the office on Mon,Weds,Fri from 1-7. It was a little discouraging and if the MD and MA weren't so nice we definitely would have just walked out. Next time I'll just have to make an appointment for the very 1st one of the day.

She took a great deal of time going over my tests and gave me her opinion as to care she would like to start, but also detailed what her expectations were and how long the treatment might last. She answered every question I had for her and for the first time in a long time, I felt that I really mattered. Do not get me wrong, I have several very great and qualified doctors who also show compassion, but this review is solely for Dr. Acquafredda alone and she deserves it. Perhaps some of the new doctors starting out would remember that patients rely on them for more than just their professional opinion Some patients are apprehensive and scared and would welcome a bit of kindness at difficult times. I have and will continue to refer her to anyone who needs help with her speciality.

Once he is in the office with you he takes his time to answer all your questions and make sure you are completely informed of your health. Any reservations or concerns I have when I walk in are addressed completely by the time I walk out of his office doors. Not only that but he also has several specialists that come into the office throughout the week to accommodate your schedule. His staff for the most part is very helpful and friendly, and even offers an on site lab to help expedite your care. The only reason I only gave four stars is because of the wait time in the office. Though I understand that he spends a significant amount of time with you once you are in the room. Expect to be in the office for a few hours.

I came to this place because of two reasons: I was looking for a new primary doctor, and I needed a…read morereferral for a gastroenterologist. I chose this practice because it was close to my home and Dr Ylonka was in-network of my insurance. Upon arriving at the practice, the staff promptly took my insurance info and charged $15 for the copay. I paid with my credit card. During the consultation with Dr. Ylonka, she suggested that I do an annual physical exam. She looked some things up on her computer and confidently said, "GHI (my insurance company) covers the annual physical exams. If you do it today, you don't even have to pay the copay. My staff will refund you the copay on your way out." Huge mistake for not double checking with my insurance company that the physical is indeed covered in my insurance, and the most expensive one I've made in my life. On my way out, the staff cancelled my earlier payment of $15. By this action, it was clear that they were sure that the staff thought my insurance was coverkng the physical exam in full, unless they already knew it wasn't covered and wanted to sham their new patient. The $15 was credited back to my account 3 days later, of which I have the record. Two months later, I get a bill from Dr. Ylonka's practice of $250, the steepest price tag I've heard for an annual physical exam. I called them to inquire of it, I simply get the the same line: "Our record indicates that you came in wanting a physical and therefore it is your sole responsibility that you came in with a full knowledge of physical exam coverages of your insurance. Therefore, we are not at fault." No. No matter how many times I tell them to stop lying (I did not schedule a physical. The doctor suggested performing the physical by misleadingly telling me that it is fully covered by my insurance) and explain the record of the copay being credited back, they do not have an answer. They simply read the line again... "Our record shows that..." Your record can say anything you like but wouldn't mean much since it doesn't explain the cancellation of the copay. Shame on them. I really hope the doctor does not do this knowingly and regularly to read off from patients. Shameful for bold face lying of the staffs. Also, it took them more than a week to come up with that "Our record..." line. Before they came up, their previous line was "we will call you back when we find out tomorrow." They never called me back. I always had to call to inquire. On the phone with the practice yesterday, the staff did mention that the doctor "sometimes gets confused" of what is covered by insurances or not. I asked back if that is a good enough excuse to first tell all patients that everything is covered and then later charge all. Of course, there came the expected line: "Our record shows that..."
