He typically responds within the hour. Staff is super friendly. Whether your visit is in person or virtual, it's never rushed. He keeps things light, which always makes you feel comfortable sharing with him. Are you looking for a doctor to push prescriptions or not ask the hard questions? Wrong guy. He balances Western medicine with a whole body approach from diet, exercise, and over the counter natural treatments. We always end our conversations with a big smile. Love this guy and his staff! Can't recommend more highly. He's very supportive, approachable, and available. He's a PCP and also a nephrologist

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.

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.

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.

DO NOT GO TO DR IRINA KRYM. Literally the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor in my entire…read morelife. To start, the lady answering the phone had an attitude all three times I ever called this office. I once called to let them know I wouldn't be able to make an appointment in advance, and she responded with, "girl--okay what do you want me to do??" Nonetheless, I rescheduled for another day. I had a 2:15pm appointment, and after waiting around for a while, I let the front desk lady know that I had to leave at 3:45pm for another appointment. She told me she was unsure if the doctor would be able to see me by then -- a whole hour and 15 minutes later. They only let me in when they realized I was going to leave. You walk in, and they ask you to pee in a disposable plastic cup with no lid, write your name on a piece of tape, and leave it on a desk in the open air. The nurse was nice, but I have never been belittled by a doctor the way I was here. Extremely rude, passive-aggressive, condescending, and arrogant while working in this dump of a place. I've recently moved to New York and came from seeing some of the top doctors in California, but she tried to convince me those doctors didn't know what they were talking about. I proceeded to tell her my conditions and the reasons I came in (which shouldn't make me special -- literally everyone who comes to a doctor is in need of help, so the standard practice should be kindness). Instead, she made fun of my pain and gaslit my conditions. I had to walk out mid-appointment because of Dr. Krym's attitude. I let her know she was extremely rude and that I was obviously coming in because I was in pain and needed help. She kept back-talking until the door slammed on my way out. Don't fall for the fake 5-star reviews like I did. DO NOT GO HERE. I would give this place zero stars if I could.

Made an appointment for last Thursday, and Irina, the friendly receptionist called me back twice to…read moreconfirm that my circumstances have not changed, and that I'm feeling well to come in. I was told that the office is not taking patients, but they can see me, since I have not been for a check-up in over two years. When I got there at 9:55am, I was greeted by Marina, a billing staffer, who was helping out on front desk in Irina's absence. Marina kept running to Dr. Vernikova after every patient call, and the questions that she was asking,--even I knew the answer to. Such constant running back and forth to ask Dr. V. questions that any receptionist should know was annoying, since my time with Dr. V. kept being interrupted. When my check-up concluded at 10:15am, four more patients were waiting at the reception area. I guess this office is seeing patients, and the business must go on. So if you need a check-up with PHP, this is your office. Just check what insurance they accept. They accept Medicaid, but stopped accepted United Healthcare. I got the results of my bloodwork on a Tuesday, so just a few days after my appointment, which is pretty swift. Zoya Vernikova has been my, my mother's, my best friend's, and my best friend's mother's doctor for quite a long time. She genuinely cares about her patients and always shows deep interest in their well-being. I dread any kinds of doctors and medical procedures, but Dr. Vernikova is the only doctor who puts me at ease. I feel safe to open up with her and express everything that is on my mind. Her bedside manner is very gentle and attentive. She noticed the enlarged veins on my legs during one visit and ordered a test, which another doctor performed that same day in the office. The results confirmed varicose veins [which runs in the family] and Dr. Vernikova went over a series of preventative measures to help avoid future complications with that condition. Just a word of caution. Dr. Verknikova is very caring, yet her manner is very straightforward, so that can rub many patients the wrong way. For example, when my mother, who has two incompatible types of cancers, which baffle all doctors who learn of such impossibility, came for a check-up, Dr. V. said, "my deepest sympathies, now we have to pray." That clearly is not very encouraging to a sick patient who has heard the worst already and is expecting some support and hope to keep fighting. Also, when I was in for my appointment, Dr. V. was talking on a phone with a family member of an old, sick patient who was battling coronavirus and was denied being admitted to a hospital due to his age and pre-existing medical conditions. Dr. V. was very straightforward, saying there's a 50/50 chance and there's nothing else that can be done. The person on the phone kept asking for some sort of reassurance, but Dr. V.'s manner was brisk and impersonal, as if she just told someone that tomatoes are healthier than cucumbers, not that someone's loved one has 50/50 chance of surviving. The office uses Patient Fusion, an easy online platform where you can schedule appointments, check results of your medical tests & procedures, and talk with your doctor about any concerns you might suddenly have, from the comfort of your couch. The reason why I'm taking off a star is for the above mentioned stories and for the wait time before an appointment. If you come after 4pm--brace yourself--you'll be in for a looooooong wait. Bring a book. I once waited for almost two hours on a Monday evening after work. Make early morning appointments if you'd like to get out of here without aging in the waiting room.

For primary care practice there is a fixed amount of co-payment under my plan. But they want to charge $50 more because I have no depleted my deductible. That has nothing to do with a primary care office visit (that apply to every insurance plan with a fixed co-payment). The clinic is trying to rip people off.

Dr. Regina Sotnik is by far one of the best physician I've ever encountered. I don't really write…read morereviews, and if I do, it's not usually good. I booked an appointment through Zocdoc; thinking I'd only see her once because I just needed a quick physical. After my first encounter with her, I knew I needed to drop my PMD and make her mine. Dr. Sotnik is the epitome of a real primary physician; ensuring that you're thoroughly cared for system by system. I've never had a primary, who went through every lab in detailed they way she did. Dr. Sotnik needs one hundred stars for the work she does, she keeps it real and does not sugarcoat anything. I've never felt more cared for; more informed about my health until our encounter. Her office is clean, especially the bathroom. She does have medical assistant interns, who work with her but they are always very polite. Her office assistant, Gloria deserves a special nod as well. The wait time is usually less than thirty minutes from appointment time, if any wait at all. If you need an excellent primary, please put her at the top of your list. Best, Rhoda
