Smithtown Medical Specialists is my primary care office. I see Dr Gold, as well the the nurse…read morepractitioners April and Jen. They are all excellent. The staff here is caring and understanding. I have a rather complex medical situation and they take the time to really take care of me. They do this with all their patients. They are caring and knowledgeable. The one thing thats worth making a note of is you can expect long wait times to see the doctors. This is because of the personalized attention they give to each and every patient. As long as youre expecting it, its not that bad. When it comes to doctors these are the best primary care physicians around. With hours Monday through Saturday, it is relatively easy to get an appointment if you are sick. They even have blood lab right in the building. I highly recommend Smithtown Medical Associates!

I will not be going back to complete the treatments I already paid for. I would suggest looking around for other places. There are definitely better ones out there.

The ER was the absolute worst I had experienced in my entire life... rude staff (Not all -but too…read moremany). I came with documents from my doctor sending me to the ER I came in with various symptoms & a fever, I told the intake that I was seeing white and couldn't walk, it felt as though I was ready to pass out... they didn't care! Someone came out and called me in, and when again I explained that I can't walk, she just marched ahead and asked me to follow her clear across the ER never looking back to notice that I found a chair in someone else's cubical, I needed to sit or I would have fallen. Another nurse hurried over (one of the nice ones) and explained that I couldn't sit there, she heard me say that I was about to fall and that I couldn't follow the lady of whom by now was out of sight... this nice nurse got me a chair and wheeled me all the way across the er to what they call a stretcher/bed? (It was brutal and actually painful to rest on this for the 6 hours I was there). The original lady that told me to follow her to my "stretcher/bed" was down right rude! I'm shocked she works with humans. I'll make this short... cut to my discharge... the LPN walks over with a bunch of papers, circles a few sentences, says almost nothing except "here's the directions"... I showed her I had an IV port still in my arm, she replies, "oh ok I'll have to get the Dr to sign off on removal" after all that I ask her a few questions about what I should look for that would mean I needed to return? She said "I don't know here's your discharge instructions, I circled them"... when I made my way out of the ED (still lightheaded but better after the treatments), I get to Valet and find not one place to sit and wait for my vehicle, I was going to sit on the cement. The sweet Valet gentleman brought his own chair out for me to sit and wait. I need to make clear that I had spent time in this same hospital on a unit about 3 months back and I even called the hospital to make sure the wonderful staff were recognized for their amazing care and treatment. I mentioned each person by name and specialty...I was thanked and told that people only go out of their way to complain, they were so happy to hear my wonderful reviews. In short the ED staff, needs to be retrained on how to work with other human beings in a field of "helping" along with this ED needs to be revamped... as well, there is no privacy at all. Maybe they can take some pointers from the units and the staff on the units. I won't ever return to the ED should I need one, and I will certainly make sure anyone I love and care about knows of my experience in the ED.

Sarcastic and not one of the best doctors. My dad has been a patient of Basile for too long…read more Tonight, I called his office to get the results from my dad's bloodwork, which I requested be performed due to specific health issues. When I inquired about some "out of range" results, he sarcastically said, "What do you think about them?" I could sense his sarcasm and asked Dominick Basile why he was being sarcastic. He said he didn't order those tests, and since I did not attend medical school, I shouldn't ask for them to be done. Ha! Some things were, in fact, out of range, although he didn't feel it was "significant." There was NO need to be rude and unprofessional. He doesn't know all the answers, trust me. None of my father's other doctors ever fussed if I requested a script for specific tests. My dad has been in and out of the hospital three times in the past few months. If it were up to Basil, my dad might never have bloodwork done because he's lax, and his wife, Laura, is a snot. They complement one another in that respect. A month ago, he made it so difficult and wouldn't sign the OT's request for my dad to get a commode, which the OT felt was necessary. His wife (who has to stick her nose into everything) told me the facility should have put in for the commode. Well, the hospital didn't do this. Was it such a big deal for your husband to pick up a pen and sign the request from the home care services approved? You should be ashamed of yourselves! It's always a bother, even to get a simple approval for something like a commode. My dad's O/T thought this was terrible as well. After I told the receptionist that Basile would be responsible if my dad fell, they reconsidered and finally approved it. Dealing with this office is always a hassle. My dad needs a caring, competent doctor without a poor attitude. I asked the staff (Kathy) to mail the blood test results, but they were never received. After two weeks, I called, and his wife (Laura) answered and asked, "Does your father save these?" It's a bother to receive a return call; it's a bother to get approval for medical equipment, bloodwork, etc. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from this office. My parents have received other patients' test results more than once. That is not good. That's how careless they are. About six years ago, when my husband was a patient, someone from this office made the appointment for me instead of my husband and confirmed it with my name, although I was not a patient there. Furthermore, when my mom's bloodwork revealed a very high reading of alkaline phosphatase, Dr. Basile said everything was normal; it certainly was not! I've found D. Basile to be lax and uncaring. I researched and knew that high (way out of range) reading may have meant something was very wrong, and it was. I recall a patient was furious with him and said he almost killed her mom for a terrible mess up. Doctors need to be caring, competent, and compassionate, and nothing short of that. You will not find any of that at this office.

Doctor and staff are very nice and polite. Easy to get an…read moreappointment. Adequate hours. Told if test results come back normal not to bother coming back even though symptoms still exists and diagnosis not made. That didn't sit well with me. Proper test needed to detect symptoms described were not prescribed by doctor as confirmed by radiology facility. That didn't sit well with me. Therefore only 3 stars. I expect my primary care doctor to be more investigative when addressing patients symptoms and resolve with diagnosis of cause of pain or referring to a specialist before dismissing patient. Instead I felt minimal effort was given.

On my most…read morerecent visit, I checked in 15 minutes prior to my appointment and was seen an hour and a half later, no apology offered. While I'm far from fond of such medical collectives, there's one particular member of the consortium that keeps me returning. It should be noted that the Islandia location was home to folks in waiting room who were NEARLY as loud on the speakerphone as the obnoxious receptionists blabbering on personal calls with the window to the public holding cell wide open. The seats in said area are set up in threes, creating awkward scenarios where people sit in the middle and then need to move over when another patient arrives needing a spot to plop down. Medical recordkeeping is better than some, though not electronic. I suggest using this address rather than Expwy Dr N, which gMaps insists is in Lake Ronk (perhaps it is, but that ain't where I'm gonna get Doctorized). 01.12 update: good luck not getting the runaround when calling requesting documentation/details to supplement calls that your lab work results were 'excellent'.
