This post is for notification purposes and not intended to convince anyone not to patronize her establishment. However, I will not be returning. I scheduled and confirmed my annual appointment around my busy work schedule, without an issue. The day of my appointment, a work meeting ran later than planned and I ended up running late for my appointment. Respectful of Dr.'s time, I called into to let them know I was running late and to make sure it was still fine for me to come to the office. I let the receptionist LISA know I had a 12:30 PM l, was running 15-20 mins late and called to let the office know. Lisa, got rude over the phone and said that I needed to provide 24H notice of rescheduling/cancellation or I must pay a fee. I said the fee is no problem. I told LISA i had no intention on canceling and asked how would I have known I'd be 15-20 min late, 24H ago when I'm calling her TODAY? Lisa continued to be rude, stated I couldn't see the doctor because it was past the 15 min Grace Period. I asked if the Dr. had any open appointment slots later that day, to reschedule. LISA replied that the Dr. was booked for the remainder of the day. I said well let's reschedule for sometime next week, is the Dr available Monday by any chance? Lisa nastily said No and refused to reschedule my appointment over the phone. I'm not going to lie, Lisa hit a nerve and hung up on her, expeditiously. Then I decided to go to the Dr's office anyway, to reschedule and to pay the missed visit cancellation fee. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Lisa and she informed the Dr I arrived. The doctor said she was about to see a patient and asked that I return in 30 minutes. I said ok, and waited in my care for the duration of the 30 minutes. When I returned to the office I was asked to sit in the waiting area. The doctor came out and told me she couldn't see me that day. I said no problem, I don't mind rescheduling. She said no, you may not reschedule. I then asked, if she was implying that she would no longer treat me as my PCP, she said YES. She said that I treated her receptionist badly, based on her receptionist speaking to the doctor during the 30 minute wait. When LISA told me not to come to the office due to my lateness and refused to reschedule, I came in person anyway to find out why. Fearing disciplinary action, she LIED and told the doctor I was rude over the phone, which was untrue, LISA was the one who was rude, and unprofessional. As a patient, I felt the Dr. Kewalramani should have asked my side of the story. I found her taking the receptionists version of the narrative disappointing, appalling, and cold, considering that I am the patient seeking services from her medical office. Please be aware of the receptionist LISA and let the Dr. know if she treats you unfairly.

I was instructed to discontinue a medication I was stable on, supposedly so that testing could be performed. After I followed that instruction, his assistant later admitted that Dr. Azar never intended to do the testing he claimed required stopping the medication for. I was stunned. I should've never trusted him. I subsequently tested positive for the exact condition I had asked him to evaluate, which he had previously refused to test for, through a much more compassionate Immunologist. Turns out I actually have two PIDD's. I also have evidence in my genetics of having a primary immunodeficiency disease. Imagine if he had tested me for it like he had promised to! Unfortunately, stopping the medication led to five consecutive bronchitis infections and one pneumonia. One of these bronchitis infections was while I was still a patient of his, and he refused to treat it. Normally, and Immunologist would treat it so I was even more stunned when he refused to do anything, and kept trying to tell my primary to take care of it instead. That was an instant red flag, and the last straw for me. This whole situation was an outcome that was preventable. Patients deserve honesty and transparency--especially when being asked to discontinue medications that protect them from serious infections.

To top it off there are a few of the front office staff that need an attitude check especially with patients that are sick. Why make appointments? Why not schedule less patients? Why waste peoples time when they are sick? Makes zero sense to me if I ran my business like this I would have no clients! If I could give them less stars I would. The only saving grace is the doctors if it wasn't for them I would have left after waiting so long. But I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO ELSEWHERE if you're sick.

The patient portal is also very organized to access test results, medical history. However I am leaving a mixed review based on the office staff. It has been very difficult to reach a live person when calling about appointment scheduling. I also was turned down to see the doctor today because I was 13 min late for my appointment due to subway delays. When asking the office staff if there was anyway to accommodate me because my commute is long, I was publicly scolded for not calling to inform I was running late and instructed that I could either come back hours later in the day or reschedule. I was also patronized and asked "do you understood what a schedule is?" The treatment was humiliating and disrespectful to a patient of almost 20 years. I don't feel comfortable going back to an office that lacks compassion for their patients. I'm sure I've waited more than 13 min to see the doctor in the past and have never complained.
