Elite Event: What’s Up, Doc? @ One Medical Group

Just in time for my annual medical, and I should mention that I’m still using One Medical Group after this awesome Unilocal event nearly two years ago! The event was very informative, and as Baramee mentioned, it was nice to have a change of pace from the usual restaurant or bar.
Fast forward to my experience with One Medical Group, and it’s been awesome! They have a mobile app, the doc actually sees you on time, and almost everything can be handled by email, including follow up correspondences with the doc, records from the office staff, and just about anything. This is a modern business model for modern times. Kudos!

This is a delayed review but hey, better late than never!
This was by far the most unique venue in 2013 for an Elite event. When Ruggy said we would Unilocal it up in a medical office I figured why not, YOLO. Ingrid S., Stephanie P. and I rolled in with Zaneta R. to see that this clinic was very well kept and had gorgeous views over looking the WTC and New Jersey. Ruggy was quick to greet us and I was glad because not only was it my first time meeting Ruggy in person but this was also my first Elite event, as an Elite! YAY!
Roaming around with a glass of Malbec in my hand, I got to talking with fellow Unilocalers, enjoyed the delicious spicy fish tacos, chicken lollipops, goat cheese and red paper flake samosas and Grüner Veltliner and realized that this venue was actually a major contribution from Ruggy to fellow Unilocalers. I know a couple Elite’s who don’t have the best insurance situation but this location, along with the other locations throughout the city, seemed very accommodating. I’m happy with the doctor I have now but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend One Medical Group to anyone else — in fact, I even mentioned it to my beau.
This event was truly a delight for the senses and very educational showing that once again that Unilocal!knows how to cater and be capable of unexpectedly meeting the needs of their fellow Unilocalers. So thank you, Ruggy, and thank you Unilocal

Very educational and the staff is very charismatic. Why wouldn’t you want to try One Medical Group is the feeling you leave with after this event.
What else was cool…
–we drank in a doctor’s office
–we were on the 45^th floor in downtown Manhattan
–fingerless gloves galore
–there was a mic/​amp setup for Ruggy
–samples of antibacterial soap
–the appetizers, tacos, sopas, chips, etc…
–the people!
I love events that aren’t just a restaurant or just a bar… though I thoroughly enjoy those too because there’s a «find out information» element.
Awesome event Ruggy!

Very interesting…
I was able to hang out at a doctors office… drinking wine and having Fish Tacos! For real — it was an interesting time and we got some good knowledge out of it.
I met some awesome people — and hopefully we’ll hang out soon! THANKS RUGS!

Question, who wants to hang out in a doctors office?
Answer, WE do! Especially when we’re surrounded by so many awesome Unilocalers. Oh yea, not to mention the generous selection of beer, two types of white and red wind, and the delicious food floating around surely didn’t hurt. I was able to sample the goat cheese samosa with the mango chutney and the spiced fish taco. The fish taco was my favorite! Being a pescatarian I couldn’t give the tasty looking chicken pops a taste.
I came as someone’s plus one, and I’m so glad I tagged along. I appreciate the opportunity to be apart of such a cool event. I would like to make a shout out to the chef, I can’t imagine how he was able to pull off preparing all the food in the doctors office, definitely not typical set up. AND a shout out to Ruggy for thinking outside the box and creating this YEE. I don’t believe I’ve had the opportunity to chat with you, but maybe in the future. Thanks again! :)

Bucket list: drink wine in a doctor’s office — check.
Came here with my friend and Brooklyn elite Brittany H. We were greeted by Jane K. The view from the 45^th floor was pretty stunning.
I thought the wine and appetizers were a nice touch – although everyone was all over the food. Literally a tray would come out and it would be gone… it was pretty amusing but my friend and I didn’t get a chance to try the fish tacos that everyone raved about.
One Medical Group seems great and with the complimentary one year membership, I think I’ll check it out. The staff was on hand to answer any questions we had, and I walked away with a portable hand sanitizer keychain. #win

So Friday morning when I got to work my coworker gives me his usual «what he did last night» spiel and after he went through how uneventful his night was I explained about how I ate yummy spicy fish tacos, chicken lollipops, goat cheese and red paper flake samosas and drank delicious Grüner Veltliner (which is a variety of white wine grape variety grown primarily in Austria, Slovakia and other parts of Eastern Europe) in a doctor’s office all while enjoying music, chatting it up with Unilocalers, enjoying a magnificent view and learning all about One Medical Group’s awesome medical services across their several Manhattan locations (including an office near Columbus Circle near my jobby job, hooray!).
Leave it to Ruggy to hold a Unilocal event in which I actually learned something, enjoyed myself, got to talk to some new folks and didn’t get overly sloshed — another awesome event, thank you Ruggy and thank you Unilocal

When you throw an event at a doctor’s office, it’s either going to turn out being the worst idea ever, or a surprisingly cool and unusual party. The YEE @ One Medical Group was clearly the latter: good wine and beer selection, excellent snack food prepared by One World One Kitchen, and a chill relaxed atmosphere, with great views of lower Manhattan. Apparently, according to the OMG staff, one can top this only if the event was in OMG’s Central Park office which apparently has even better views! Now, I don’t know if I’m going to start frequenting doctor offices just for the cool views, but I’ll surely not be afraid of another well organized event like this one.

I know what everyone is thinking: party at a doctor’s office?
Hell yes!
For my first Manhattan event, I spent an evening mingling amongst fellow Unilocalers, sipping on complimentary wine, and munching on pork tacos, goat cheese samosas, and chicken lollipops (love that green sauce a la Pio Pio). My favorite beverage was the Malbec, but there were a few wine choices and beers too.
I’m glad people pointed out the view to me because I was having so much fun chatting and imbibing that I neglected the fact that we were on the 45^th floor and blessed with amazing views of the city. Even the bathroom lookout was dope!
In all, it was an intimate event with great food, drinks, and of course the cool kids of Unilocal!
Thanks to Ruggy and Jane for a very appreciated and enjoyable Thirstday!

Doctor offices generally terrify me. The last time I had blood drawn went exactly like this: Nurse: «Are you afraid of needles?» *hands covering my eyes* Me: «No.. . «*Uncovers eyes, stands up, blanches and blacks out for five seconds*. This is a super plush doctor’s office. Also, I wish they were normally filled with booze and food!
I arrived about an hour late due to a number of factors but still made it with my little gang of both new and older Unilocalers. Additionally, so proud, my little Anna F.‘s first event as a newly formed Unilocal Eliter. *clap clap clap* I actually am interested in the program with One Medical Group. My insurance isn’t phenomenal and I work like 2 blocks away from here so its incredibly convenient. Definitely took their information down. The wine and beer selection was great! I was more partial to the Malbec. There also was another white wine that wasn’t the Chardonnay that was pretty tasty. Not too fruity, not too dry. The Peak Organic IPA after the wine ran out also hit the spot with tasty hoppiness. Light appetizers: Those fish tacos were fantastic. Someone in my group complained about sour cream. But how can you not love sour cream, really. The chicken lollipops and wontons were great as well. Good event. Got the chance to chat with some Unilocalers and relax for once. Woot. Cheers and thanks again Ruggy!

Not the biggest doctors office fan in general, but I came to this event open-​minded and was more than impressed with the event and the set-​up. On the 45^th floor right by wall street is this one medical group which has a million dollar view of the NYC skyline. I drank some chardonnay and brooklyn lager, and mingled with fellow Unilocalers.
The food went fast, so you had to pounce on it. especially the fish tacos, which would come six on a tray, but it was well worth eating them when they arrived. The chicken lollypops were also a nice touch, I never knew you could put chicken into something like that!
All and all as usual, Ruggy and the Unilocal team put a great event together. It was intimate and had a nice vibe to it. I also appreciated the staff walking around talking with the Unilocalers, I felt like they cared.

Did anyone else have bump into the sliding partitions in the lobby thinking they would move?. Okay I digress.
As someone who is not in the Financial district much I forget how nice the views are down there. This doctors office didn’t disappoint. I also thought while they were clearly advertising their services, they were not pushy about it.
The event was great and well organized. I only had one drink, but it was a nice Pinot Grigio wine. The food kept coming until the very end. My (and apparently everybody else’s) personal favorite were the fish tacos. The chicken lollipops weren’t bad either.
I met a lot of great people. I appreciated the intimate atmosphere of this event. I’m looking forward to future Unilocal Elite Event’s at nontraditional locations. Maybe we can take over the DMV next time?

I think more doctor’s offices should have their own bar set up. And that view?! Nothing short of amazing. Thank you Ruggy! This was an awesome little shindig. It was so great to see Jane (looking amazing as usual) and mingling with new Unilocal friends (we met the infamous « Unilocal twins»).
I can’t wait to visit the Columbus Circle location and see the «best view of Central Park».
Appointments that start on time in an office like that? I can’t wait to get sick. I didn’t get a chance to taste more than a bite of a fish taco, but the flavors were amazing. I loved the Goat Cheese & Hot Pepper Samosa’s with Sweet Mango Chutney (a little spice goes a long way). The Chicken & Bacon Lollipops with Cilantro Lime Aioli were killer and a great little finger food that was easy to eat with a fist full of Malbec.
It was the perfect intimate gathering.

What an interesting idea to throw a Unilocal party in a doctor’s office! Wow, that was really cool. I like these interesting and different events. Thanks Ruggy for keepin’ it interesting!
The staff on hand were really helpful and informative. The purpose of this event is to get more people to know about their group practice. This kind of group practice that caters to clients’ needs and provide high-​quality medical services are known as concierge or boutique medicine. They really try to meet the needs of their clients. Right now, if you sign up through Unilocal,the annual membership of $ 199 is waived. I needed a physical exam for work and they were immediately able to schedule me for an appointment the next day. Awesome. They have 6 locations throughout NYC, and they are in SF, Chicago, Boston and WDC. That makes it very convenient.
Their office is located on the 45^th floor and they really have amazing views of the city from their office. Beer and wine was freely flowing and poured by a very handsome hipster with a handlebar moustache! Some appetizers floated around and I did enjoy the samosas. Lots of Unilocal swag on hand, so now I have my Unilocal Elite gloves!
Great event and I was able to get some medical care scheduled quickly!

A short walk from the Wall Street station, this particular One Medical Group is nothing other than amazing! Completely 180’s your expectations on what a doctors office should be. Walk through the grand marble lobby and prepare yourself to be jettisoned up to the 45^th floor where you will see amazing views of NYC and NJ that rival that of the Empire State that you are forced to go on whenever you have friends or family in town.
A bit of advice: If you’re looking forward to seeing the view, I would arrive early — because at One Medical Group your 2pm appointment starts at 2:00.00pm on the dot!
We sipped on complimentary wine — of which there were several choices. My favorite was the Malbec, Miss Sarit had a white but cant remember what it was. There was also a nice selection of beer ranging from Brooklyn Lager, Guinness, and Peak Organic IPA. For the eats, there were goat cheese samosas, fried chicken lollipops and fish tacos. The samosa was good, with the mango chutney to compliment it. I did not try the others as I was being a good vegetarian (for once.)
We were also offered a free service with sign up, which I will be doing promptly. ;)
The staff are extremely friendly and have a bedside manner that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Real people giving real compassionate care. After I graduate from nursing school I will certainly look you guys up!
In fact, the ONLY thing that could of made this night better was to have complimentary «banana bags» thru IV as you exit for the slight hangover the next day!
Thank you Ruggy, Unilocal and One Medical Group for giving me the feel-​good medicine I needed on a Thursday night!
With so many things to love, it’s no wonder their initials are «OMG».

Party at the Doctor’s office! Wooot!
Beer, wine, food, no wooden sticks down my mouth, no rubbing alcohol on my skin, visiting the doctor’s office has never been so sweet and awesome.
Seeing a lot a familiar faces and new ones at tonight event. One Medical Group claims to have no wait when you come for your appointment. I shall give them a visit when I take advantage of the complementary yearly membership they gave out tonight in the near future.
Food being passed around was spicy and mainly fried. Tasted really good with some Indian flare. Tacos were gone in an instant and that was probably the most popular bite of the night.
Food passed:
— Goat Cheese & Hot Pepper Samosa’s with Sweet Mango Chutney
— Spiced Fish Tacos with Guacamole and Pickled Red Onions and Radishes
— Chicken & Bacon Lollipops with Cilantro Lime Aioli
— Potato Leek Gruyère Hot Cakes Chili Garlic Aioli
The doctor’s office has a awesome view of the downtown skyline. In the men’s room, the urinal is right next to the window. I was wondering if anyone in the building across can see me taking a leak, but even the bathroom has an awesome view!
Thanks Ruggy and Jane for making a visit to the doctor’s office a cool one.
