So hard to talk to anyone at this office. I feel more like a number and a bank then I do a patient.

My doctor, David Parnas whoelsale knocks everyone down in attentiveness, and humanitarianism. I met…read morehim when i came to a walk-in clinic in 1999 across from ( not adjacent ) to McDonalds on Main ave. The clinic adjacent to MacDonalds is a whole new ballgame, not the same care i got from Dr. Dave Parnas. Waiting for him i overheard his conversation with patients, and how nice he was to them, i figured him for a loser, ( young and cynical i was ). I got my turn,and showed him my scabby knee i got on a vacation trip, which was healing poorly. He gave me an antibiotic from his samples and as he was finishing up writing the script for my antibiotic, i let on that i had also engaged in unprotected sex while on vacation. Dr. Dave does an about face, and says, i wish you would have told me earlier and proceeds to tell me about the risks i had taken, not in a "holier than thou way" but in an informative manner with practical implications, writes a script for a different antibiotic which will be effective in fighting clymidia. I left the clinic with a whole new respect for him, and a lesson in kindness. i made him my PCP. He got me on vitamins, blood pressure meds, and Lipitor, in a wholly practical way that it wouldn't hurt my pocket. From personal experience he told me to go to Costco, where i would get 5 times as many as the same antihistamines that walmart was selling for about the same price or less. He gave me samples of very expensive meds to save me money. He has a sliding scale based on no-insurance, and ability to pay. Dr. Dave is an Army doctor and a Gulf War vet. He served his country in the first gulf war, and even though he has a walking problem due to his service, The military put all the pressure they could to go to Iraq chapter 2. ( Thanks US Military) He was working in the walk-in clinic to rebuild his practice which was lost when he went to the gulf war. The only problem we found was that he gives too much of his time per client, going over medical history in minute detail. This extended wait times past the 1 hour mark and lost him some patients, but he's a rugged individual, humanitarian, and a good guy. He's made house calls,and was named top doc in ct. Even though he seems like a walking anachronism, he has a working relationship with Dr. Claudia Gruss, who was profiled on a Sunday news and information program to be among the first in using electronic health records. That's forward thinking!

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would…read more My husband, son and I arrived at the facility when it opened at 8am for our rapid antigen covid test required for travel. The staff processed our insurance and questionnaire quickly so our wait time was minimal. Chris, our nurse, greeted us with a smile, took our temperatures, and then led us into Exam Room 4. He explained the test procedure, check our vitals and answer our questions. For our safety and comfort all three of us stayed together to wait for the results (all negative!). We were surprised to see a physician (extremely friendly) as we were not there for an office visit, per se, just a covid test needed for travel. We heartily recommend Urgent Care in Norwalk to anyone reading this review. Their staff is very professional and caring. Chris and the doctor had excellent bedside manner and, I'll add, a very friendly disposition. While in the waiting room I observed how warm the staff treated all walk-in patients: from the elderly, young adults, middle-aged and even young children. So hats off once again to Chris and Dr. Garley for their wonderful service to us.

This clinic almost killed me ... Be ware, this clinic operates without doctors on a regular basis…read moreand instead will have a Physician assistant or a nurse practitioner, these are not doctors and never went to medical school. A week ago I was there with the starting of an allergy, which turned out to be driven by my blood pressure medication. However, the PA that I consulted with NEVER asked what medications I was on and told me to take Benadryl. Hours later I was at the hospital ER, where they quickly realized it was my medication causing it. There was a fear I was going to need to be intubated and after medications and plasma transfusion my condition was brought under control. Had the PA asked me the most basic question ..."what medications was I on?" a much simpler solution could have been found. The PA realized her mistake after I left the office and left me a voicemail asking if I was still on a specific medication but did not say anything about it being the cause or telling me to rush to the ER. She left a voice mail to call her back just 5 min before the clinic was closing. So when I contacted her the clinic was already closed. I have tried to resolved this directly with the Medical Director Dr. Koslow but he has decided never to contact me back and now I will have to file a civil case. Make sure if you visit them it is an actual dr who sees you.
