I made an appointment at 8am in the morning, had to wait for an hour until I could see the DR Katz, then waited one and a half hour extra for a simple bloodwork.

I called to ask if I could get the Tdap vaccine that day, and the customer service representative…read moreimmediately said yes. They said I could get it after seeing the doctor. I braved the heavy snow to get there, and immediately showed them the referral slip from my obstetrician. I thought they were preparing the vaccine, but I waited for an hour before seeing the doctor. Only then did they say they didn't have the vaccine and needed to request it from the pharmacy. Another 40 minutes passed. I arrived for my appointment at 12:30 PM, but didn't get the shot until 2:20 PM. This was terrible treatment for a 7.5-month pregnant woman. Very unprofessional.

Finding a good PCP in NYC is not all that easy. You have endless choices, but you want the best. In…read moreJune 2008, I decided it was time for me to have lap band surgery. At the time, I was very unhappy with my current PCP due to his horrible office staff. Therefore, after a bit of research, I made an appointment with Dr. Retsagi. The practice is very small. His staff consists of a lab tech (I forgot her name) and the receptionist (Rita). Both are absolutely wonderful and always give me a very warm welcome. The only negative about Dr. Retsagi is sometimes he runs a little behind. Don't be surprised if you have to wait a half an hour, but I don't mind. It just shows he is taking his time with patients. As for Dr. Retsagi himself, he is everything a doctor should be - very kind, gentle, and very knowledgeable. He truly cares about his patients and always tells me to call him anytime if I have any problems. For my pre-op testing for the lap band surgery, he left no stone unturned. He carefully reviewed all my lab reports and also ordered some additional tests. He is also extremely fast about returning phone calls in emergency situations. One thing I forgot to mention when I first wrote this review - Dr. Retsagi's business hours are from 12-8PM, which is perfect for all us working people. If you have to reach him in the morning, leave a message on his voicemail and he will get back to you ASAP.

After over 10 years in Dr. Retsagi's care I am very upset and have decided to seek another primary…read morecare doctor. I've been concerned about this in the past, but what convinced me to make this move was the following... About 3 years ago I turned 50yo and asked Dr. Retsagi if I should schedule for a colonoscopy, but with confident assurance he said the a stool smear test was sufficient. I asked him again, and he again restated. Since I did not look forward to the colonoscopy prep (which is, btw, not all that bad as I found out) I went along with his advice. At least once more on my last checkup I repeated my concerns and was again reassured by him. Then, about 3 months ago my heart sank when I looked into my toilet after voiding to see bright red water. The colonoscopy revealed long existing polyps that I had to wait anxiously for 2 weeks to find out were benign. I was furious! For another example, a couple of years ago I complained to him about moderate hearing loss and asked if it's possible I had ear wax. He looked and said I was fine. 6 months later I went to a specialist who exclaimed that I had a lot of ear wax. This specialist told me it was certainly possible for a regular doctor to miss this, so I let it go. My new doctor looked in my ear and told me immediately that I now have ear wax buildup again, even without my complaining about hearing loss. I am through with Dr. Retsagi!

I Called the office to set up an appointment, the receptionist seemed like she's mad at the world. Wasn't welcoming at all. She asked me the nature of my call, I told her my signs and symptoms and asked her of it's possible to see a dr. She asked me for my insurance I told her my insurance (ghi) almost immediately she says we don't except your insurance. When I told her how can this by. A family friend that referred me to you guys has the same insurance. She didn't bother listening to me and hung up. Are you serious dr!!!! This is the type of staff you hire. Are you trying to save money and switch to geico? You're running a health practice. Please hire people that didn't learn to speak from hitler! The receptionist didn't introduce her self, didn't bother hearing me out and didn't even give me a chance to ask what would it cost for a visit if I'd pay! Took my business elsewhere.

This doctor's office erroneously charged me $325. I saw this charge in January and hadn't been to…read morethe doctor's office since about November. When I called them to find out what this charge was about, they had no idea what the charge was for (which unprofessional in itself). After they talked to insurance (which took another few weeks), they admitted that they wrongly charged me and would provide me with a check in two weeks when they got the money back from the insurance company. I tried calling them over 10 times to find out the status of my reimbursement, left countless messages and still no one was able to put me on the phone with the billing manager I was speaking to (named Michelle). I was hung up on by another administrator, called back and left a message for Dr. MacLaren himself, who didn't call me back either. Finally, fed up with this treatment, I decided to dispute this charge. They responded back to the claim lying that I authorized the charge. Be careful when dealing with this medical office! I am definitely wary of giving my card number in situations like this in the future.

When I mentioned how long the wait was I was told it wasn't that bad. But the receptionist definitely called to take my copay appt on time! The office staff was very distant, cold and inexperienced.
