This doctor only addressed 50% of the two issues - elbow and wouldn't address my shoulder at all. He couldn't have cared less and even smirked about it when I asked about my shoulder. $190 for the visit and 4-5 min spent w/him - max! He's a part of the problem with the medical field today and I thought it was always insurance companies to blame with 5 min a patient visit but when I asked about my shoulder, again, he just smirked at me. I'm sure he wanted me to setup another appointment despite the fact, again, he could have addressed my shoulder in the additional 2-5 minutes but the single visit $190 plus x-ray cost wasn't enough for him. It's really a breach of his medical oath to not even do a quick assessment of my shoulder. And the office won't tell you they'll only address one issue at a time until after you've checked in. If there was zero stars to rate him - that'd be it! My guess is when he started out as a doctor, freshly had taken his oath he was probably good, but he simply doesn't truly CARE about his patients anymore.

Dr. Christopher Donaldson is a doctor I would recommend to anybody. He has so much schooling,…read moremedical knowledge, and experience behind him. He evaluates you and knows exactly what is wrong or what the next step you need to take is. Surgery is not the first thing he recommends, but he gives you options that you have. I am an athlete and he knows the only thing I really want to do is get back on the tennis court and play. He tailors my treatment and options to the goals I want. It may be a long time till I get back to my playing, but he is helping me every step of the way. Out of all the doctors at western Pa Orthopedics and sports medicine, I highly recommend him.

After 8 appointments there was no significant improvement and I was disappointed in the lack of thoroughness as I never received an X-ray on my neck. To top it off I was told I would pay a certain co-pay but apparently half way through my appointments they realized they billed the insurance wrong without telling me so I continued going and paying the same amount only to receive a letter in the mail from the office telling me I had a large amount due. This business will probably do fine with its long term elderly customers but as a short term thing I found the Dr. and the office lacked professionalism and would not recommend this chiropractic office.

My appointment for Blair Gastro was on June 24, 2021, and I saw Dr. Bouassaf. First, when I…read morearrived, the staff members made me feel totally comfortable, and promptly checked me in. I waited maybe 5 minutes before they called me back to see the doctor. After getting vitals checked and other info, I waited maybe another 5 minutes before Dr. Bouassaf joined me. I can't state to you what a relief it was to have a physician that totally could talk to me on my level and describe what was going to happen and actually explain my CT Scan that was performed on me at UPMC Altoona in May when I went to the ER. The ER Dr should have been the one to interpret the results, but he just sent me home. Dr. Bouassaf got me to describe my symptoms in a way that no other doctor has succeeded because I usually feel pressed when I'm meeting with a doctor and I tangle up my words. He made me feel as though he honestly paid attention to me and wanted what was best. He showed very calmly the procedures he felt I needed to have done and proposed I have a MRI at another facility. I highly recommend Blair Gastro and this is where I will go for all my Gastroenterology needs.

Also stated that it was policy not to perform a scope until stress test etc was done first and cleared by cardiologist.

This has lead me to believe they do not respect the decision made by the cardiologist that ordered the stress test in the first place. How very sad such decrease in care.

I chose this office before my son was born, and I could not have chosen better. From his first…read moreappointment, I was confident in the care I knew this office was able to provide. They not only were invested in his thriving and well-being, but they also checked in on me, as a new, first-time mom. From the front desk, to the nurses in office, to the doctors, this entire team works together in such an efficient, and peaceful manner. This is an office who takes your calls, who listens to your concerns, and who makes sure you and your child are fully comfortable and on board through every step of the process. Their waiting room is always a hit with my little one, he loves the chalk wall they have. There is also a "sick" waiting room, which is something I really appreciate, this is to keep viruses away if possible. When my son was a newborn, and I was worried he may have RSV on a friday night- someone answered my calls here, they stayed on the phone with me (as I heard their own children in the background- commitment! This was after hours! ), and they had me send in a video of my baby's breathing /chest. We monitored it all night, and by the following morning (a saturday), my little as well as myself felt immensly better. He did not have rsv, but if he did, we had the BEST team to handle it. On his third birthday, he woke up with a very swollen eye, and I knew he could not have bumped it to cause this, as I am with him all day, and the bump was too intense for him not to have said anything. I called the doctors, was able to SEND PICTURES of the eye while on the phone, and was able to be booked in for an appointment with in 3 hours. I brought my little in, and he was greeted with such kindness and excitement, he forgot he was there over an eye situation. The entire team works together for these experiences. I can not stress this enough- this is QUALITY care. My little one was spoken to as if his voice also mattered, he was made comfortable with everything before they started any "check up", and, this is where I REALLY appreciate them, they informed me SO MUCH about what was going on. About what they thought, and about the plan for treatment. Dr younes showed me photos of other children (similar age) with similar looking eyes, he showed me some that were allergic reactions, and some that were infection. I have never had a doctor do this before, and being that this had to do with my baby, I couldnt have been more grateful at this time. Dr younes gave my child a dose of an antihistamine IN OFFICE, as well as SENT ME HOME WITH SOME! Again- I have just never had a doctor's office do these things! He told me to bring my child in the next morning, so that we could see how the eye was doing. Oh, he got a lollipop, too The next morning, the eye actually got a bit worse! But i knew that my baby was going to be okay- despite being hurt, as a mother, seeing my baby not all right. ​​we got into the office, at this point, my child was really looking forward to going back, too, haha. The staff and doctors were so kind and empathetic to my child, and myself. And they promptly got on a differnet course of action. This was after my child showed off some toy cars and trucks he brought with him to the office, and the staff showed my child genuine interest in the cars being shown to them. When the doctor came in, he was confident and informative, and prescribed an antibiotic. He asked us to call in the following morning for follow-up, he explained to me what I should expect, told me what the antibiotic would be doing, and let me know if I had ANY questions or concerns to call. The next day, my childs eye was immensly better. Its been almost a week of his antibiotics, and the eye is healed up. We will be finishing his course of antibiotics, and my little one will be good to go. The care and concern that permeates throughout this entire office is strong, and it is SO appreciated. This is truly the BEST pediatric office in this town, id argue in the state, id go as far as to say the 6th Avenue altoona office could contend with the best in the country. This is the epitome of quality care, as a parent, we all should expect for our children. The 6th Avenue office meets all expectations, and is absolutely exceptional in their care. Thank you, team! Signed, a thankful, and grateful mother I have to add a special shout out to nurse nicole, who was our first nurse at the practice and she is still there to this day. The staff is wonderful, and each are deserving of such recognition ​

Apparently, they do not accept appointments by phone; instead only people with smart phones and the internet can access care here. And yes, some people do exist who don't have those things. Anyway, the woman on the phone said the online scheduling was necessary to prevent people with COVID from entering the office. If we are still trembling in fear of a scam-demic then at this point I don't know what to say. I bet these are the type of tyrants who probably refused to treat the filthy unvaccinated at one point. The woman on the phone was absolutely belligerent and hung up on me. Thinks not the only podiatry office in Johnstown so I'll be taking my business elsewhere. If you are elderly or disabled and cannot make an appointment electronically, find a more compassionate doctor who is willing to be more accessible to you.
