I gave the owners (two Dr's) over a month to respond to my daughter's letter and never heard back, therefore this review. It is truly a shame when the owners of this group wouldn't even respond to the letter my daughter sent to them when she was treated with such disrespect by a nurse in their Poughkeepsie office. She was in a lot of pain and made appt. to see her primary. When she got to her appt. she was told they couldn't see her for her pain, "Don't have enough time, Your appt is for a follow up" which is what the front desk erroneously wrote for her visit. My daughter is soft spoken and tried to explain why she was there, she was never there for a "follow up." Several times she tried only to be told "We don't have Time for this" The nurse did not offer any help with this mistake or show any compassion. The nurse showed such disregard, rudeness and mockery, so she left without even being seen by the Dr and the nurse mockingly said "Bye, Bye" when she left in tears. Believe me, we are not people to complain, but I know I won't return to this group either!

I have been with my primary care physician in the Bronx for over 15 years, due to me moving further north, I unfortunately had to leave her. I was referred to Dr. Butler by my neighbor, who has spoken so highly of her, so I decided to set up an appointment. I am so happy that I did. I did not have to wait long to be seen. While completing my new patient package, all my questions was answered. My first appointment went smoothly with Dr. Butler and the rest of the staff. She and the rest of the team was very attentive and professional. She called me for my follow-up as scheduled to discuss my blood results. she made me feel so comfortable. She provided me with resources and listen to my concerns. I am pleased to say I have my new PCP. Thank you for making me feel at Home Dr. Butler and team.

Please tell Your Staff I only need One ??? Survey??? Not 5 ??? Thank You Mr Vincent Guarracino This Memo is for Staff only not Dr. K

I have know Dr K. Over 35yrs. He's the Best G.P. I've ever Experienced!!!!

We visited for an annual physical check. Unlike previous doctors, she carefully checked us while spending a sufficient time. She asked right questions on the concern that we have, she heard us very well. Because this was the first time, we cannot comment on the details, but while considering our experience for the first visit, we think that she is a good doctor.

Dr. Kulkarni answers my questions and spends enough time with me.

She was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Offered me a follow -up solution in the practice and was aware that I am due for other checks ups. She was encouraging that this practice is willing to work with me and my health issues.

Gurvinder really cares. She carefully listens and provides the best care. I’m 100 % sure she is the best Doctor around. Ron R.

Dr Butler is very thorough and caring,

As always, I received prompt, courteous, professional care. Govinder Virk is a wonderful FNP. I am so very happy to have found such medical competence & guidance while in her care.

Dr Naik is a great family doctor! My whole family has Dr Naik for our primary care giver. He is also a dermatologist! Very professional and listens.

Good

Even though I am giving a five star review, which I whole heartedly; in the future, because I didn’t know the apparent severity of my review with your office and my overall experience, in the future, please do not send multiple requests multiple times over, it’s obscenely obnoxious, respectfully. But to reel it back in Dr. Butler is an amazing individual, woman, medical, professional, and role model. Not only is she restorative in the practice of physical medicine, but also, she has very tight knit. Intuitive conversations with her patients as if they were a family, at least from my experience. Truthfully, it allowed me to almost event unintentionally and express myself uncensored, especially because she was initially a stranger. I appreciate her, and I also appreciate, if I am not messing up her title, nursing assistant/nurse, DANIELLE. Not only was she very efficient, many nurses beforehand, and struggled to find my veins because they’re thin but what DANIELLE did was instead of taking the band off of my arm to draw the blood and she left the band on so that my vein in State pronounced in the blood flow. And that was the very first time that anyone had thought of that. No only that just so happen to live in adjacent cities right on top of each other. We don’t live there anymore. I believe we both live in the same city now a distance away; but overall, I am very impressed with the office in YouTube add in another fact, I had another appointment already said a month prior to with another office, but because I was in a rush at the time, I forgot to write down where the office is located and I couldn’t find it so the day of that I was supposed to have my appointment. I ended up just finding Dr. Butler on Zocdoc, and it turned out to be a blessing, humbly.

Very organized office. More time with Dr Virk who really listens. That’s almost impossible to find in todays world.

I experienced a medical issue that needed immediate attention and NP Virk went above and beyond to ensure I received the care I needed. I must also mention the friendly and supportive nursing staff who kept me calm when I was experiencing anxiety. Everyone went out of their way to ensure that I had the proper resources to address my issue. Thank you!

Called this morning as was agreed to. Went well. No problem.

It was great. Love Gurvindet Virk she is a great doctor. Would not see anyone else. Deffinately see her. Yes at least 6 stars or more. Try her you won’t b disappointed.

Well today was a good visit

Very professional, solved my issue.

Dr. Chua listened to me and asked good questioned. He didn't jump to conclusions and got me a referral for a ultrasound that day.

The first time we worked with Dr Chua was in a phone consult, and I knew I would refer him to family and friends. He is knowledgeable and kind and stepped in when our primary care physician was not available. Yesterday we were able to secure a video appointment. He is a very helpful doctor and set a plan for us to move forward with care. I am setting up appointments for both my son and husband to be under his care. They both need a primary care physician and Dr Chua is our pick. Glad he is in your practice. Look forward to working with him. Thank you !!

Dr Chua is thorough and amazing

I never received results of my Covid test. Please text to me

Dr. Chua was professional as well as friendly. It was my first visit and I will seek his medical assistance again.

Does a great job making you relaxed

He is clear and honest. He suggests other avenues to follow up if he cannot reach a conclusion,

Efficient and direct

Dr Amarga was awesome! I am a new patient and she made me feel at ease and listened to me when I expressed concerns. I had a really great experience.

Im a new patient. Saw Dr. Amarga for the first time. (After being with my primary for 20 years he retired. ) Dr. Amarga was very patient, made me feel heard and comfortable.

Jack and I appreciated your professionalism and compassion

Dr Chua is thorough and treats you with respect and care.

Who was the very intentive doctor listen to what I had to say, and followed up by giving me an antibiotic for my ailments. I would recommend him to anybody. He’s very good, very nurturing.

Under his care my blood pressure has lowered significantly and I have lost weight. I feel so much healthier. I highly recommend seeing Dr Chua.

Excellent

Dr. Chua and I are new to one another and I’m pleased that he has accepted the request to be my primary care physician especially after being thrown in to a critical time of my health care.

First time meeting Dr Amarga as my primary was booked and I needed a sick visit. She was very nice and I didn’t feel rushed. Best part was that I was in and out in 15mins unlike my 2 hour urgent care visit last week which was a waste of time. I would ask for her again in the future but can’t really speak to her medical knowledge as I just needed antibiotics.

I’m very pleased with the professionalism of Dr. Chua and his team.God blessed and thank you.

Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. From the moment I entered to when I left they made me feel comfortable.

Dr. Amarga was wonderful. Very pleasant!

Very professional, great visit.

Dr Chua is very personable, understanding, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Great experience as always.

Very nice. Thinking of making her my primary.

Everyone was very polite and helpful

He was thorough and spoke clearly. Dr. Chia understood that a mother of a special needs patient /daughter that it is essential to communicate with as well as listen to the mother and patient. I was glad he scheduled a follow up to have an EKG and blood test done. My daughter responded well during the visit as well and was calm.

They were great

excellent service, very pleasant staff

Dr. Chia returned my call promptly, listened carefully and compassionately, and gave wise counsel. I was confident in his consideration of my symptoms, and guidance for health care in the days ahead.

Excellent communication

Dr. Amarga did a nice job for my mother and me on the telephone. She ordered the antibiotic we needed and I was able to pick it later that day so that my 93-year-old mother, who is suffering with bronchitis, could get started on it ASAP. My thanks to text her Amarga.

Excellent care. Dr. Armaga is friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. She even called to see how I was feeling.

Promptly called me back. Listened to my concerns and discussed my treatment options.

First new doctor I’ve seen in over 15 years. I think I’ve found someone that hears what my wishes are and how I’d like to be treated.

Professopnal

Was seen by him for a pre op release due to my primary being unavailable

The doctor was very professional and knowledgeable. He listens and show empathy which encouraged the patience to understand. Very nice doctor wish we could keep him.

Dr Chua was very kind to listen to my concerns. Did a complete blood test for several things that may be causing all my discomfort.

Professional and caring

Dr. Chua listened as well as questioned me regarding what I was experiencing medically. He treated me with respect and explained possibly treatments, why and why not specific treatments would work and advised of their side effects. I respected Dr. Chua's thought process and chose the best course of action for me at this time. He advised me when to call back should I not feel better and what to look for in the meantime.

Appreciate that he was very thorough on his assessment and asked alot of questions.

I liked the doctor. I had a good experience with all medical professionals. However, having to deal with the central service number to wait for call backs is miserable. Why can’t you provide #’s to the offices themselves? It wastes so much time.

Very clean, friendly and caring thank you

Dr chew was great I was very happy

The office responded quickly to my voice message and scheduled a same day visit Dr Chua listened to my symptoms and offered reasonable treatment. I am already feeling better

Great doctor and assistant was wonderful too

covered all issues and answered all questions. very glad to have found a great primary care doctor

Dr. Chua is very personable. He listens well and thoroughly explains things to me as we go. He seemed very receptive to suggestions I made. He doesn't talk down to me, which is a welcome trait, of course. I plan to stay with him for as long as I can. Conversely, many doctors only see me once before I seek a new professional.

Quick response a very attentive

Dr Chia was very sympathetic. He suggested the next steps I needed. Scheduled an immediate appointment for X-rays. He called me back just as I got home and reported want was found. And prescribed meds for better sleep. I am hoping to meet with him again so we can determine the actual cause of my pain. I will call for another appointment

I had what seemed to be a sinus infection.My job does not allow me to just take off for a doctors appointment.Dr. Chua was able to set up a teleconference with me and make a diagnosis and prescribe the proper medication for me so I would not have to spend the entire week end in pain.
