My dr directly scheduled me to see therapist Sonia Teague in an emergency circumstance and upon arrival for my appointment at 1145 Sonia told me she sees nothing in her schedule and she was going on lunch at 12. Handed me her card and said schedule another appointment. I absolutely will NOT be scheduling an appointment with her as she off the jump made me feel like my situation wasn’t urgent enough for her. I DONT RECOMMEND HER AT ALL!
Have seen the internist, podiatrist, dentist (for a walk in) and the gyno here and although the offices look like an abandoned building and have less than up to date digs, every doctor has been great. Appts are not hard to get, they are open late, plenty of parking and a lab onsite.
I am grateful beyond words to the physician Barbara Lynch.
Two years ago I went to the Greenburgh HealthCenter. I had a lump in my breast and I felt like all of the other Doctors were not taking me seriously because I was young. I was scared because my mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer (at age 50) and I did not have insurance. I recognized Mrs. Lynch from sixteen years ago when she gave my daughter vaccines as a baby. Mrs Lynch was so gentle, my daughter never cried.
Mrs.Lynch, not only helped me get insurance though the health center, but also prescribed me a mammogram that saved my life when unfortunately my mom didn't survive. Mrs. Lynch helped me during the most difficult and scary time in my life.
And thanks to her fast reaction, Cancer was detected at an early stage, and treated.
Mrs. Lynch was so amazing then with her compassion and understanding, that almost 2 decades later when I go to see her, I still feel like I'm more than a patient. May God always bless you and from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.♡
As soon as you walk into this place you know that it is not top-notch and suspect it might be a place that hurts you instead of helps you. Not only the clientele but the doctors and staff as well are walking around like they just stepped out of a bad movie about a health center gone wrong. I've been waiting for 2 hours and 45 minutes and have yet to see a single doctor. I've been dismissed by every single person that I have spoken to. I have filled out the exact same paperwork three times for three different desks. I've hit a rough patch and my insurance is Medicaid now for the time being so my options are pretty limited. But I did not know that I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and suffer through this type of treatment. Or lack thereof.. It's a rundown old facility kind of clean, not impressively so. Since I have yet to see a single professional on staff I cannot write a review about that. The waiting time alone and the treatment thus far does not instill any faith that I will be treated and acceptable fashion once I get in. Go anyplace else if you can. Avoid. You know how hard it is once you get an appointment to walk away. Just don't make the appointment here. I just called an advocacy person to come and help me get into see the doctor since everybody else here seems to think verbal abuse and/or ignoring is the way to go. Perhaps taking this route will actually get me seen. Fingers crossed.
Seeing all the negative reviews, I have to share that my experiences here have been consistently positive. I was just there this morning for a gynecological appointment and every person I encountered--from reception, to Dr. Akbas and staff, to the phlebotomist--was kind and helpful.
It might get busier and more congested later in the day, but I was in and out of my 9am appointment like a breeze. Thank you to everyone at the clinic for taking such good care of me!
Every single time I come here I have to wait 1-2 hours to see my doc even if I had made an appointment. Once I came for a 11:30 appt and waited 2 hours to see a doctor for 10 minutes. The recurrence is this is unprofessional and quite frankly makes me want to switch doctors every time. If a patient is scheduled for a time, especially if the appointment was made weeks in advance, then it is unacceptable to make someone wait hours to see their doctor.
As soon as I walked up to this facility, something immediately felt off. I had an appointment at 1:30pm & they told me to arrive 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork because I’d be considered a new patient. NO ONE WAS AT ANY OF THE COUNTERS! When I finally did catch someone, she guided me to the forms then disappeared for about 20 minutes. Not sure if or why it’s policy that they ask you about household income when I have insurance??? But ok... When I finally signaled the same woman to tell her I’m done, she motioned for me to wait then disappeared again for another 30 minutes. Good luck to anyone who goes here!
I read most of the comments and they all tell the truth. No matter how early you come to your appointment expect to wait 3-5 hours to be seen by the doctors for only 5 minutes. Nobody really truly cares anymore. You can tell they’re just there for $$ and kill time. I started coming to Greenburgh clinic since 2003 and everything changed so I stopped going here recently because they’re very unorganized. I could say some staff are nice some aren’t like you owe them something. There’s one particular person at the cashier that always give me attitude. The doctors are always changing. I’ve been to other clinics that are on time and doesn’t waste your time waiting. The only reason I don’t go here anymore is I have to call off from job just to be seen by a doctor for 5 mins hell no. I’m usually very very patient and I do not complain but I bet there are others that stand up for themselves that still don’t get what they wanted. I hate that they kept changing doctors and lose record of previous work so you end up doing it again. How much worse can they get, sorry. I suggest you guys find doctors according to your insurance provider. You don’t necessarily have to suffer going to this place there are good organized facilities out there they are just not recognized.
