Dr. Tarala makes you feel as you are part of a family and is willing to sit down and talk about any concerns. I have also seen Dr. Fiacco, he also a wonderful person and a great doctor. I have never waited as long as 30 minutes. However, I think that Upstate has been spoiled in that there usually are not waits. When I lived down state, I always brought a book with me, because I knew I would be waiting for some time. In the end, they are truly wonderful family doctors.

I had been a patient of CNY Family Care for 13 years and they just dropped me claiming I had been…read more"consistently disruptive of staff" - which is simply not true. Let me tell it how it is - this place has too many patients and every Dr I have ever seen here needs sensitivity training and improvement on bedside manner. I was in a traumatic near-death accident in January 2024 and saw Dr. Malvasi as a follow up to being in the emergency room for hypothermia and he was honestly great and compassionate - but wanted me to see MY PCP Dr Clapper like a week later. I was bruised from head to toe still from my accident at that point, and I had questions about my lack of sensation in my legs, feet, arms and hands. I had to explain to the nurse what happened and what I was there for. In walks Dr Clapper - OMG WHAT HAPPENED? why wasn't she prepared? Why did I have to relive my trauma AGAIN when all of this should have been in notes reviewed before walking into the room. At this time, I requested to be moved to Dr. Malvasi's care because he had seemed so compassionate after my accident. My following experiences with Dr. Malvasi were less than ideal - I gained weight due to my depression and PTSD and when I saw him again he asked how I was doing and I said it had been a tough winter - HE LAUGHED and said I CAN SEE THAT BY HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU GAINED! Real professional. Also, knowing that I had been in an abusive relationship and had difficulty with men - he thought it was also appropriate to make jokes every time I saw him asking if I was dating again yet. Not funny. The last two times I saw Dr Malvasi I requested a specific course of treatment. He said we could discuss that further in 3 months if I did xyz. I did xyz and went back at 3 months and was told CNYFC had new policy for this treatment and to do xyz and come back in 3 months. Right before my next 3 month appointment I received notification that CNYFC would no longer be working with the treatment at all - even though I had been doing what I was told for the last 6 months to receive this treatment. I sent a disgruntled response to the portal and the response I received was that I didn't know what I was talking about and "good luck finding a new pcp". So one time I disagreed with their practices and expressed it and they dropped me like it was nothing stating "consistently disruptive to staff". So a one time expression of dissatisfaction is "consistently disruptive"? Also Dr Malvasi asked at both 3 month follow ups if I was dating yet - still not funny. I really have found in life that when situations like this arise, comparable to being fired from a terrible employer, move on to bigger and better things. I'll find a dr office that doesn't turn people over like an assembly line and actually knows the appropriate way to communicate with patients. Btw I found a new primary care and had an appointment scheduled in less than a week. CNY family care thinks they can treat people like crap as if there are no other physicians around. Read the other reviews - my experience is not unique - and there are plenty of better offices to go to than this one.

Dr Brodey is the best however he is not always taking new patients…read more Dr. Brodey brings commonsense back to medicine; he is is sharp, clever and will take good care of you)as long as you participate in your healthcare like everyone should) Dr. Brodey does tell it like it is however so if you're looking for a doctor that will just tell you what you wanna hear he's not your guy but then again he never goes on a rant and doesn't preach for example when I was overweight he just said "you need to lose some weight - I'm sure you already know why" (and if you don't know, just ask)

I was upset when I realized this. Dr. Federico stated he didn't know why she put me on it because my thyroid was just a bit off. It is now better via changing my diet. I haven't had any issues with him. He doesn't pressure you to take an rx. I don't want to find myself on six rxs, so he honors that. The staff in the office are great too. I usually don't have to wait long once I'm there. The only issue is they don't have enough staff to answer the phones, so you won't likely get a person on the phone. You have to leave a message. I'm assuming because their costs are lower they can't afford to have the additional reception staff to handle the phones. I just go in person and make my next appointment while I'm there. I'm not a sickly person who has to run to the doctor often, so Compassionate Care works good for me. Having Saturday hours is a major plus. I will continue to keep going.

I DO NOT recommend/REFER Dr.FREEMAN in anyway shape or form to anyone and please do research on him before you go. Probly thee worst Dr. And person I've ever talked too. I never even met the man yet. I'm in my 40s and this guy talkED to me with disrespect, arrogance, humility and over all just a embarrassment of a human being and Dr. I was in aww while talking with him.. I hope he sees this bc their are so many ppl that say nothing but bad things about this Dr. that says alot. I hope he changes his attitude bc he's just gonna retire a old disrespectful little man.. He wouldn't dare talk like this too anyone outside of his office the way he did me. Whom ever is ahead of him needs to listen to any recordings of him on the phone bc if they did he'd get fired.. It's time for him too retire or get anger management and go through a Dr.s care and compassion session..

I completed their application and left. A few days later I received a call saying all of their doctors were NOT taking new patients. I told them I clearly stated my urgency when I stopped in and was told they were taking new patients. Now I find out that wasn't true and I wasted 4 days waiting. They CLEARLY don't care about people's well being. In visiting many other doctors in my area I found many are under the Family Care Medical Group. I visited 5 with similar bad results.

I am 8 weeks pregnant. The first visit was amazing and the doctor I saw was very nice and well…read moreeducated. My second appointment was the dating sonogram, and the technician was fabulous (very sweet, gentle and attentive). Unfortunately that's where the good ends, and the really bad begins. I had to go yesterday (02/03/16) for the OB intake appointment which included a pap smear. I walk in the room with the nurse and see all of the tools used for a pap smear laying directly on the counter. I informed the nurse that that was not sterile protocol, and was ignored. When the nurse practitioner came in I told her about the stuff on the counter and that I didn't want that particular stuff to be used on me as it was not sterile. She agreed to get new equipment, which was then put on a paper towel(Thanks, but that's still not clean)! The nurse practitioner and the nurse never washed their hands before or after my procedure. After I spoke up about them not following protocol I was treated rudely and the nurse practitioner was anything but gentle. It was gross and honestly made me very uncomfortable and I really wanted to cry. After this was finished I had to go have blood drawn. This procedure left me with a swollen and heavily bruised arm. I have never had an experience like this in my entire life, and this is my second pregnancy! Please steer clear of this place as it seems to be more of a health hazard than a place of Medicine! Just so people don't think I'm talking out of my ass, I am currently a student of Medicine. I know procedure, and how things are supposed to be... This place did not follow one clean technique or sterile technique procedure, and it's horrifying to see that they are still operating as a medical facility!
