Advanced Gynocology of NY

This clinic is shady on many levels. I came to this practice because they have Sunday hours and I didn’t want to take off of work. All doctors are male unfortunately, and the one that I saw was overly «touchy» in my opinion. A month later I received a bill from Quest Diagnostics for a test that I never requested. In fact it was medically unnecessary according to every other doctor that I have since spoken to. Of course, my insurance refused to pay the bill, unless the doctor who requested the test sent them an explanation for why the test was necessary. I called Advanced Gynecology FOUR times trying to get the doctor to do this. Every time I was told, «we’ll look into this for you.» I even took off of work to go to the office to demand answers but I was told that the doctors were not in. In the end I had to pay the bill out of pocket because Quest threatened to report me to credit agencies if I didn’t.
In short, this is a shady practice that is really just an abortion clinic. Do not go for ANY other reason.

Amazing 2013 and this office is still the same way. I totally agree with Nicole D. I had the same exact experience. Disorganize office. Half of the people in this office do not speak English. The Dr. did not do a complete physical exam. Just one think to add, know how much is your insurance co-​payment because they lie there. I strongly feel that they are pocketing the extra money from co-​payments. Bottom line read Nicole D. review will not be back.

So… I made an appointment yesterday at this office after finding them during a search online for gynos in the NYC area who were within my insurance network. Went in for a pap smear and birth control, which is a pretty basic, painless and quick procedure all us lucky enough to be women have probably experienced more than once.
I should have walked right out upon entering this office. It was crowded, loud and disorganized. to say the least. I walked up to the front desk to check in, and was immediately handed a small plastic cup to pee in, out in the open in front of everyone. I was shocked. Isn’t this supposed to happen behind closed doors in the examination room before the actual appointment??? I walked into the hallway bathroom and what I saw shocked me. OTHER PEOPES URINE LINED UP ON A TRAY IN THE BATHROOM FOR ALL TO SEE!
Are you kidding me??? How unsanitary and unprofessional!
Waited another hour to see the doctor who I was told would be a woman and was not. After waiting yet another half hour in a paper gown, he walked in. He never did pelvic or breast exams, check my throat or breathing or weigh me! I was appalled. Especially since I wanted to get on the pill for the first time. I always thought a pelvic exam was needed. He used a PLASTIC speculum and made a comment about some minor razor burn I had down below. okay doc, from now on I’ll come with about 2wks worth of growth just for you!!!
After mentioning that I was unfamiliar with the varying types of birth control, he went and put me on what I later found out was a pill with the highest amount of hormones he could possibly give me… not even sure at this point if I wanna take them.
After the ‘exam” I went to the front desk to get my prescription. The ‘nurse” scheduled me for a 3 month visit and notified me that if I went to their website and printed out there homepage, I would be getting a discount on my next visit. Hmm… this isnt a t-​shirt I’m buying, this is my health. pretty sure I don’t want discounted care!
This place is worse then any gyno office outta be. I’m all for diversity, but when 90% of your staff doesnt speak english very well, your exposing patients to other peoples urine and handing out coupons for a discount on a future visit like your at target. it’s NOT a good sign. I wouldnt go back to this place if THEY PAID ME! If you care about your lady parts like myelf, avoid Advanced Gynocology of NY at all costs!!!
