Best WLM Reviews
I am updating my review. Advantage Care Physicians is better than they were a year ago and they were very good at that time. The receptionist s are very helpful and well mannered. The woman that does the bloodwork is very friendly and pleasant. Dr. Majeed is my internist. He is friendly and knowledgeable. No long waits anymore. They have it organized where it s not an assembly line of 14 people waiting. The longest I have waited to be seen was 12 minutes. Also, the place is the cleanest that it has been in 40 years.I highly recommend Dr. Majeed.
DO NOT GO THERE! You will thank me forever!!!! wish I read the reviews before thinking in setting an appointment in this terrible place, a bunch of rude ladies at the front desk having the power to treat you badly, and not following HIPA codes making you repeat louder your complete Dare of birth, address, phone number , definitely they’re NOT in compliance, then the Medical assistants terrible , then the doctors, noooooo way !! Location, parking lot, facilities what a waste with that terrible service, making me take a bunch of unnecessary antibiotics, no body called me to inform about my lab results, I had to call many times until the manager finally called. To get an appointment to get the blood work done is with week apart from the appointment, it’s ridiculous, you usually get the blood work done the same day you have your appointment, also an annual physical comes with an EKG but here NOT!
The cherry on top of the story the Doctor who saw me today, told me that I’m getting old like a car and if have pain, that’s why Tylenol was created, and for every single question I had the answer was “Im not the specialist and I should to set up appointments with specialists, to get answers.
VERY SAD and horrible experience in that place, I would never recommend the experiences I had in Advantage Care physicians in Babylon location.
My primary care physician recommended me to go to a nutritionist. Called my insurance company to see who I could go to and they gave me AdvantageCare Physicians number. But when I called they said I would have to switch my primary care physician to one of theirs (at their facility) in order to see their nutritionist. Called my insurance carrier back and told them about it and they said they never heard of such a thing. Obviously a VERY self serving rule for their own benefit.
Totally ridiculous office. I made an appointment with Dr. Palumbo and had to wait 2 months to see him. Very long but I decided to wait. One week before the appointment I get a letter in the mail saying my appointment was cancelled and no explanation? No one called me, left a voicemail, texted me or emailed me. I call them and get a representative who found out that he's not seeing patients until June now... its mid February. They mass cancelled his patients and didn't notify anyone but by mail to not deal with the complaints. I hope this office shuts down because all the negative reviews are right. Do not waste your time going to this unprofessional joke of a medical office.
Good doctors but reception is a mess (probably due to patients disrespecting everyones time and inefficient policy, not totally the staffs fault) - experienced several incidents of poor wait times and there is no link to file complaint forms anywhere on website or portal. One of many incidents - had an 8:45 appointment today & arrived 15 min early (as instructed, and per policy) pre check in. some woman had an 8:30 but was late, no call to reception, and appeared to be no show. They were saying neither she nor her husband answered receptions calls. I was waiting still for my 8:45. Unfortunately, the late patient walked in at 8:44 and they took her, therefore booting my appointment back to 9:00 and I was forced to wait even longer than that. I asked to wait outside but was told I had to wait in the waiting room for "just a minute" but it was over 15 minutes. Finally someone came out past 9 for me. I did not get out until almost 9:45 for what was supposed to be a 15 minute appointment. I am surprised they allowed the late party to violate policy, disrespect the time of other patients, and be seen before them, most doctors offices I have been to will put patients who are no-contact late or appear to be no-shows and miss their original appointment time onto a standby list or tell them to reschedule so as not to delay every single other patient who did the right thing and showed up on time. When I left, the room was backlogged with people who also had to wait past their appt times who showed up on time; many of them probably had to call in late to work or their engagements due to delays. Hope someone in administration reads this because they so conveniently do not have public numbers or email accounts to report this. What is the point of showing up 15 minutes early, checked in, as instructed, when others can be rewarded with someone else's appointment after disrespect the time of everyone else and show up 15 minutes after my appointment time (ie 30 min past my original appt) like that lady today? Hope they can fix things and enforce their 15 minute early policy in the future to respect every patients time.
They a terrible UNPROFESIONAL habit - if a a patient arrives even more than 15 minutes (according to them if you're 15 min late you may have to wait longer to bee seen), they take them in ahead of the patient who arrived on time
I find this beyond disrespectful towards the patients that arrived on time to see their doctors. If Advantage Care Physicians will not put into practice their own rules, what's the sense to inform the same to patients??
DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE! Your health will be in danger! I went into the Babylon officer Tuesday 1/3/23 complaining of Covid/flu like symptoms. I asked for both tests and was merely ignored. I was sent home with amoxicillin, promethazine and Flonase and told I had a sinus infection. I have a urgent care visit scheduled in case I couldn’t see the doctor on Wednesday 1/4/23. I kept the appointment with the intention of getting the tests the NP didn’t order again which I thought was extremely odd. Turns out I am Covid positive and was misdiagnosed by Advantage Physcians care team. When brought the their attention the Nurse supervisor Maria told me it was my fault for not insisting on the tests and that I didn’t have Covid when I came into the office so there was no reason to order the tests. Very disturbing and irresponsible.
If you need an Endocrine appointment, go elsewhere. I make appointments and the office cancelled me 8 or 10 times and forced to reschedule. The rescheduling is always a month or 2 later and then guess what? A week before that, you will get cancelled again. This process repeats again and again, so far about 8 or 10 times. I can't wait this long to see the doctor. Also, when you call you never talk to the office directly. The call goes to a call center and I promise, you will be on hold for an hour at least. Then they hang up on you. They won't call back.
