Deceptive Billing, Unnecessary Blood Tests, and Public Humiliation I scheduled my appointment through the clinic's website, which clearly stated the $300 fee included both the medical exam and completion of Form I-693. When I arrived, the receptionist confirmed this. Even the doctor told me--without me even asking--that the $300 covered both the appointment and the documentation. He said a blood test might be an additional charge and necessary to complete my I-693 which I agreed. I had already provided proof of all required vaccinations, and blood test that I got in another clinic and my insurance paid for it, so there was no medical reason to run any tests. Still, they mentioned one specific blood test, but then performed a different one that I did not need. When I returned to receive my results, I was suddenly told I had to pay another $300 to complete the documentation(form I-693) completely contradicting what both the website and staff had previously confirmed. When I questioned it, the receptionist began yelling at me in front of the entire waiting room and refused to finalize my paperwork unless I paid again. It was deeply unprofessional and humiliating. After leaving, I called the clinic to clarify. They told me the website was "wrong," and that the true cost was $300 for the exam and another $300 for the form (I-693) something never disclosed at any point. I requested a detailed, itemized bill showing the charges for both the appointment and filling the form but they refused. All they offered was a basic credit card receipt. When I finally received a billing summary, through email they cc two more people who could see all my bill and personal information, however they didn't disclose the charges and instead just sent me a total of due without specific information, so i had to request a disclosed bill and when I got it,they were charging me for hepatitis b, varicella and MMR titer and i had the vaccines for all these (I gave them my vaccine record including vaccines for these diseases so not blood test was necessary) This clinic is dishonest, lacks transparency, and operates unethically. They performed unnecessary medical procedures, changed prices after the fact, refused to provide proper billing, and publicly humiliated me. I strongly urge others to avoid this place at all costs read more

This medical office can be hazardous to your health! I chose this office for a general check-up as I had not gone for one for several years. It was nearby, and the picutures of the office looked decent. I was able to make an appointment the next day, which was convenient. But, that is where the positives end. To start my exam, I saw a very nice young woman, but she was not a doctor. She was a PA. Spoke to me about my medical history, etc. I told her I was having an issue with my foot. A few days before, I went to a podiatrist (at a different location/office) and was told that I had injured my foot. I showed the PA my foot, and she said it looked normal (when it is more swollen than my other foot). So, who do I believe? The PA at Dr. Yuryev, or the podiatrist I had seen the week before? Well, the podiatrist ordered an MRI. I went for the MRI, and I have six stress fractures in my right foot. So much for the PA at this office for spotting an issue. Which, of course, they didn't. Then a blood test was taken. I received a call the next day from Dr. Yuryev's office to inform me that they have the results and that someone will call me to discuss. I then got a call from another PA at Dr. Yuryev to discuss the blood test result. First, he went over the good points. Then he went into the bad. I was told that I am anemic, with hemoglobin, hematocrit and RBC all below reference range. The PA told me that in addition to being anemic, I probably have a slow bleed inside of me, probably a tumor in my colon, and that I may have colon cancer. Well, when I heard that, I of course was quite upset. What is strange is that I have no pain and when I looked up the symptoms of colon cancer, I have none of it. I'm not tired all of the time, so I don't know how I could possibly have anemia. I was then told to see a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy. I was given a reference to one from their office. Called the reference. An appointment was a month away and it was only a 10-minute video visit. That really isn't good enough. I found out on my own that I should have the blood test retaken and get a ferratin (Iron) blood test. So, what did I do? I went and found a really great gastroentrologist in Manhattan. Quickly got an appointment. Met with a real doctor this time. I showed him the blood test result. He said I shouldn't be too worried over it. He retook the blood test. And did a ferratin test. The result? Everything was in range! What a relief. The ferratin test showed everything with my iron levels was normal. Didn't look like I was anemic. While I was at the gastroenterologist, he set up a colonoscopy. I had that procedure done. The result? All NEGATIVE! No polyps, no tumors, no bleeding, nothing. I am NOT bleeding inside my colon, as I was told I probably was by the PA from Dr. Yuryev's office. I went into Dr. Yuryev's office feeling fine, and left being sick from what I was told. Thankfully it all worked out fine for me in the end, but the experience from Dr. Yuryev's office really scared me and worried me to no end for a couple of months until I knew the real results. What a lousy experience. PAs really aren't good enough. You need to see a doctor. With New York State now allowing PAs to administer your health care instead of a real doctor, more stories like mine may emerge. Moral of the story? Don't go to a doctor in Brooklyn. Always go to one in Manhattan if you can. There IS a difference! read more

I LOVE Dr. Yuryev! I've been coming here for a few years now after finding him on ZocDoc. The reviews about him was the ultimate reason why I decided to make him my primary doctor. He prefers that the patient try to become healthy themselves before he rushes to give them a prescription for medication. If I have a concern, I can call his office to speak to him but if he is busy he will call back at his earliest convenience. I never feel rushed during my scheduled appointments with him. He takes his time with his patients and wants to know about any updates that may have occurred between your last appointment. I'm glad that I found a doctor who genuinely cares about my health. Dr. Yuryev is the bomb!!!!! read more

AsWell as the lady who took my blood (not a single mark on my arm, flawless!) So glad to have found them. Thank you for everything. read more

I LOOOOVVVEEEEE DR. Michael Yuryev, great doctor, great person and a great listener to his patients. That been said....some of his staff can use a refresh course on how to deal with patients and learning how to listen to a patient when they call in. Another thing that bothers me is the fact that I have not visually seen Dr. Yuryev since before the pandemic, every time I've visited the office, I see an intern/or resident/or different doctor. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad, but my decision on picking this specific office is because I liked Dr. Yuryev as a primary, but if I never get to see the doctor that I chose, so what's the point of going there when I'm just going to see someone else or someone new that I now feel like I have to get comfortable with?? read more

I've been with Dr. Michael for a few years. He's great! As his practice has grown, so has the wait time. Be patient, he's worth the wait!! He will explain everything so you understand. read more

Michael Yuryev, DO - New office since September. - Family Practice Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I really like Dr Yuryev only problem is I never get to see or speak to him anymore. It has been at least 3 yrs since I spoke with him. Always shuffled off to a PA whom are very nice but they are not my doctor. In addition the practice has changed , they do not respond to the pharmacy for prescription renewals. I have to call myself and schedule a phone appt to get a refill. That appt is charged as an office visit. That is just crazy. Also after a recent physical which I did not even catch a glimpse of my doctor, I need to schedule another phone appt - another charge to get my results. For these reasons I will be actively looking to find another doctor. I wish it wasn't that way. read more

I highly recommend this family practice. Dr Michael Yuryev and 2 healthcare providers, Vera Orlando and Max Rubin, are extremely knowledgeable and highly motivated professionals. If you would like to receive an up-to-date treatment plan and a detailed blood work result, this place is for you. They will listen to your concerns and answer all your questions in understandable terms. I am impressed with their service. read more

Best Doctor in the area, and best looking office!! I've been coming to Michael for many years and he always treats me right. I highly recommend Michael Yuryev for he's professional approach, his ability to listen, tell you what you need, and advise you what you need to be healthy. Don't look no where else - good your appointment today! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yuryevs office for over 7 years. Recently I had an accident and required several visits-both in person and televisit's. Vera is one of the 2 amazing Physician Assistants who spends time focusing on what you need from a doctor. From the first time I became her patient I was comfortable with her. Max Rubin, PA-C, is a blessing and an incredible addition to Dr. Yuryevs team/practice. Not only does he listen but he actually cares about what you say and supports your needs 100%. He made this very difficult time, manageable, and for that I am grateful! Anyone who is looking for an incredible team of doctors/PA-C, this is the practice to go to. read more

Best doctor in the neighborhood. Very professional and always helping. The practice is always clean. There is a little wait even with appointment but that's the price to pay to see a good doctor read more

So I thought I'd come here after reading so many positive reviews of this doctor. Had an appointment scheduled today and of course when I come in, the receptionist tells me that Michael Yuryev is out for the week. Walked all the way in the rain for no reason and when asked why they didn't notify me, the receptionist said they tried but my phone number was the wrong one. The last digit of my phone number was different according to them, seriously, who are you fooling? Very unprofessional staff and wouldn't recommend. Find a different office. read more

I went in last week with a possible sinus infection as a new patient, and Dr. Yuryev was great. He prescribed antibiotics and gave lots of advice on home remedies as well. It was also time for a physical so I decided to come back to Dr. Yuryev to do it this week. He was thorough (he did bloodwork, urine test, EKG) and he was friendly and personable and spent almost an hour with me addressing my issues (eating/working out). He also scheduled an appt with me to go over the test results and explain everything. It's really nice to find a doctor that looks at you as a real person and treats you like one too. read more

Dr. Yuryev is the man. Went for yearly physical and was glad He takes his time with his visits and makes sure he answers any of your questions. Asked me twice if I had questions, that's appreciated! The scheduling staff will overbook you so be prepared to wait 30-90 mins (which I understand since insurance reimbursements for physicians aren't as great as they used to be) but IMO the doc is worth it. Also, they do bloodwork on site which is great since dealing with a quest or labcorp site sucks. read more

Michael Yuryev is great! He made everything quick and easy, took my blood easily (I'm terrified of needles), and overall very easy to talk to. I found him on google very easily, when switching doctors. The staff was able to put me in the system very quickly and the wait wasn't long at all. read more

I'm so happy I finally found a great doctor!!! He listens cares and is really through !!! I go back in a week and he sits with you and goes over your blood results not many doctors do that. I highly recommend him!!!! Rachael E read more

This is a fantastic doctor. I knocked off three stars because the front desk schedules and overbooks so you are NEVER seen on time. It's at least one to two hours after your actual appointment. No apologies and if you ask when you will be seen they act like you are bothering them. read more

def 5 starts DO. its a long wait sometimes, but honest and caring doctor will answer all questions and address all concerns.

Great doctor. Great practice overall. Clean, respectful and very attentive. Yes there is wait even with an appointment but I don't mind waiting to see a great doctor ! read more
