I have been to 3 separate medical facilities for recent and new health issues. One alternative medicine, one an Ortho specialist & today a CRNP at Preferred Primary Care Physicians. Guess which one gave me the most thorough & thoughtful exam? Those other MDs should take a lesson from her. She refilled NSAIDs which the Ortho refused me & gave me a starter plan for my other symptoms. I'll think twice before going to South Hills Ortho again. I haven't even met the MD here yet & I am very very pleased with Preferred Primary Care Physicians, Brookline Blvd. A small office with a lot of care & compassion. 5 stars from me! read more

Can we get a zero star option? Every time prescriptions need to be refilled I have to call or go down to the office to get them to renew all prescriptions. I have spoken to the pharmacy and they knew the Doctors office specifically when I mentioned that our prescriptions are never ready. Apparently they don't participate in the auto renew program like every other medical office has subscribed to. A perfect example was today Sept. 5th 2019 when my 90 year old grandmother ask me to check on her hydroclorothizide prescription. I tried to call the office twice, once at 0900 and again at 0930 letting the phone ring a solid 5 minutes each time and no answer. I then went down to the doctors office to find two patients in the waiting room ( meaning they weren't busy ) but still nobody can answer a phone! I have had just about enough of this, well to be frank, Bullshit!!! If you're searching for a doctor do yourself a favor and pass this one by. It truly is ridiculous!!! read more

I've switched PCPs and have been trying to close my account for SEVEN MONTHS, with no reply whatsoever. I want to close this account for data security & privacy purposes, so I emailed the address listed on PPCP's home page (info@ppcp.org). I've emailed them FIVE TIMES without a single response. I also logged into the PPCP Patient Portal, but there is no way to send a message directly to PPCP or technical services. read more

Dr. Mally, a gentle, jovial soul that he is, essentially gave me as sterling a report card of health as can be expected considering my allergies, acid reflux, and whatnot. He made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and was very thorough in my inaugural examination the other day. PPCP's office is clean, their staff is friendly, their location is convenient, and the atmosphere is reassuring. I would recommend PPCP almost as much as I recommended Pittsburgh Medical Associates when I was a patient there. I will miss Dr. Stephen Brown (he, along with two other doctors, recently resigned from PMA and moved, causing me to make a switch) and wish him luck but feel I have found a reputable and acceptable replacement in Dr. Ashith Mally for the time being. read more

I signed up for yelp specifically to warn others about this practice. I needed a pcp and chose preferred primary care in Brookline because it was close. This was a horrible decision. First, wait times are obscene. I timed my wait at over an hour and a half on two different occasions despite having an appointment. Each time I watched as frustrated patients left before being seen due to the wait. Second, the office is too lax with personal health information for my liking. When I called for information from my medical record the person who answered stated my birth date and said "that's correct right?" Anyone could easily have said yes to this question and accessed my protected health information. Typical practice is to ask the caller to state their birthdate as a precaution to confirm identity not to give the caller the birthdate and ask them to confirm. Third, I asked for routine bloodwork and the phlebotomist did not wear gloves (don't let anyone tell you this is routine to "find a vein" I work with a phlebotomist who stated that this is definitely not within protocol. Gloves offer some protection for both the patient and the phlebotomist from blood borne illness) Fourth, in regard to the previously mentioned bloodwork when I called for results I was lied to by staff. They initially stated "all of your bloodwork came back good" and then three weeks later called to state the test had never actually been performed due to an error. This is a public health concern. Fifth, when looking over my medical record I noticed the doctor recorded my answers to my health questionnaire incorrectly. While I may be ranting please take my advice and avoid this place. I will not be returning and will use an urgent care facility in the mean time. I am still considering whether or not to file a formal complaint. I could have handled any of the above incidents if they were isolated but, I have an issue with this office every time I interact with them. read more

He's also on the conservative side (medically) and won't recommend serious action on whatever ails you until it's truly necessary.

So many doctors seem to jump to treating the mildest symptoms with heavy antibiotics, etc. Not Dr. Danai - he's old-school in the best way and it's an honor to call him my doc!

Had all medical records and refused to see or read them. Don't understand how he has a high rating on here. Doshi didn't review the health records documents I brought in with me, his staff was unprofessional AND kept my credit card during the visit on their desk- then two days later from appt a $725 charge went through on my debit card. they misspelled my name, and the charge on my CC had the same misspelled name - it was the STAFF who f r a u d u l e n t l y charged my card. I had to cancel my debit card and had no money in my account because of his staff, the monies were eventually returned by my CC company. This doctor should retire, he didn't examine me, awful staff, he held his computer standing up the entire time pacing in and out of the room, and refused to treat me. when I finished the visit, he gave me referrals to things that were not discussed in the merely 5 minutes, he didn't even examine me or listen to my complaints, as I was in medical distress. This is not anywhere you or your loved ones should visit, this doctor was awful and unprofessional and should not be practicing medicine anywhere, didn't want to go into medical conditions or anything - just out the door with a referral to have procedures done that were not discussed. STAY AWAY.

Daughter is deathly afraid of needles, and they were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. They made a point of learning her, my, and her father's name. The staff patiently addressed her numerous questions, and reassured her at every opportunity she would "pull through" (it was only ankle surgery). Her room was immaculate, fairly spacious, and comfortable. They kept track of Daughter's own personal wheelchair we brought. and checked to make sure it was adjusted and working properly. We (her father and I) were able to track her on overhead t.v. monitors at all times. Immediately afterward, the surgeon, Dr. Macalus Hogan, came out to discuss Daughter's surgery privately with her father and I. I would highly recommend this facility.

First, I had an appointment with the nurse practitioner Ann Patterson. After a short wait in the waiting room, a friendly medical assistant measured my height and weight and took my vital signs. She said that my blood pressure of 114/62 was "low," but actually it is normal. (I am a registered nurse.) After a wait of several minutes, the nurse practitioner entered the room. She spoke very courteously to me. She discussed my and my family's medical history. Then she performed a physical examination. She ordered a routine vaccine, laboratory tests, and an x-ray. Many minutes later, another employee entered the room to administer the vaccine, but he had mistakenly drawn up a slightly different type. Several minutes later, he returned with the correct vaccine. He properly administered it into my deltoid muscle. After this appointment, I visited other departments to receive my laboratory tests and x-rays. UPMC put the test results on their website, and the nurse practitioner wrote notes to explain that my results were normal. One year later, I had an appointment with the physician Jennifer Mall. A medical assistant took my height, weight, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate. My appointment was in the early morning, but the physician did not arrive at work until 45 minutes later. The medical assistant said that the physician usually arrives late so she can drop her children off at school. I think that they should not make me wait 45 minutes. The physician asked some questions, did a brief physical assessment, and ordered routine laboratory tests. Later, at home, I logged onto UPMC's website to view the physician's Visit Summary and Notes. I felt surprised to see a temperature recorded for me, because nobody ever took my temperature. I have no medical conditions, so no follow-ups or treatments are needed.
