Wall Medical Group

This review has been two months in the making, just until the time I no longer need to rely on them to handle sharp instruments near my jugular.
This place was, unfortunately, the only place with an in-​network dermatologist that could remove a small cyst from the side of my neck. I’d been trying to get it dealt with since last December, and was finally referred to Dr. Ellison to get it removed. I said all this when first making my appointment – that I had a dime-​sized cyst on the side of my neck to remove. I scheduled a removal.
Allow me to walk you through the check-​in process (this is only for Dr. Ellison’s patients, as far as I know). He only sees patients on Tuesdays. All of his patients for the day are scheduled for the same time – 10:30AM. Everyone’s required to sign in on a sheet, and patients are seen in the order in which they arrived. The office opens at 9AM. He doesn’t start actually taking patients until 11AM. Some simple math will tell us that if you don’t have all day to spend in a waiting room, you will need to waste at least 2 hours of your life each time you need to see this doctor.
I didn’t know this when I went in for my first appointment. Sadly I was fairly far down the list. Luckily some morons who signed in didn’t show up until an hour after they were supposed to be in, so I got bumped up. I waited another fifteen minutes or so in the exam room for some reason. Finally a doctor older than time came in. He was nice though, and I was ready for my removal. Unfortunately all he did was look at my cyst, and ask me how I knew it was a cyst. I told him because two other doctors had already looked at it and told me it was a fucking cyst. That that was why I was here, to get it removed. He told me it would need surgery and about three stitches. Again, I told him I knew that. That’s why I had scheduled a removal. He had me leave and make another appointment for removal.
I had already cleared out three weeks where I could have this open wound and let it heal before a very busy holiday season. Originally I didn’t have time to come back until January, but then managed to get it scheduled for the end of October. It was still a bad time for me to have stitches to deal with, but I needed it done so I bit the bullet.
Come surgery day, I’m his first patient. I get taken back a little after 11, then am made to wait another fifteen minutes in the room. I can hear the nurses outside and a couple of them kept checking in on me, and I gathered that Mr. Wonderful hadn’t even shown up for work yet. Finally he comes in to get me numbed up. He says to prepare for a one-​second pinch. He sticks me four times with the local. Then he says he’ll be back in ten to fifteen minutes, once the anesthetic has had enough time to work.
They never close the doors all the way for some reason. I hear him in the room next to mine. I can’t make out the words, but the male patient he’s talking to is clearly pissed and letting him have it about something. Probably the ridiculous wait times and constant runaround. Anyway, barely five to seven minutes after getting the anesthetic, he comes scurrying in, probably running to hide from the angry man, and says «Okay I think our ten minutes are up!» and proceeds to start even though we both know I haven’t had enough time to get numb.
Other disturbing things I heard (since I had to lie on my stomach for the anesthesia and removal) were them not having the right size of thread for the stitches, and just making do with whatever they had on hand. Also «You won’t feel anything» from him, promptly followed by «Ouch!» from me. Because yes, I felt the fucking surgery, because he didn’t leave enough time for the local to kick in. And no he didn’t acknowledge the fact that I felt it. He’s lucky I have a high pain tolerance.
Getting aftercare instructions was like pulling teeth. I did my best based off what he told me, and today was my stitch removal. Guess what? The wound hasn’t actually closed yet! The best part of today’s visit though was that I went in around 9:10, signed in, and went to kill time at the Starbucks down the street. I was back by 10:15, waited about three minutes when someone asked me which doctor I was in to see. Dr. Ellison, I told her.
«No, he’s not in today. He cancelled,» she told me.
(This is how I find out despite being signed in for over an hour on the day of my appointment. No phone call, no mention at the front desk.)
«He needs to take my stitches out, _​» I say, pre-​Hulk form.
«Ohh, yes, you are okay. Come on back.»
So I did wind up getting seen «early,» and by a nurse who was very nice. Honestly I was tempted to ask for someone else to do the removal anyway since Dr. Ellison is a quack. Or at least to have someone else supervise him. Hopefully I can handle getting this wound to close on my own so I don’t ever have to come back here. I can’t speak for the other doctors, but I advise you to go literally anywhere else.

The reviews seemed fairly old, so I thought maybe they would have changed by now. Boy was I wrong.
Technology is still outdated, and the building could use a lot of repairs.
As far as the doctors and availability, well unless your are only sick on Thursdays then, you’re better off going to another doctor. And there is never any walk-​ins.
You will be charged for any unnecessary tests or appointments that you cancel.
Upon my first visit I had strep throat like symptoms and was in pain for 3 weeks before any of my medicine began to work. They argued with me for a while trying to tell me I had strep throat, but when my swabs finally came back turns out I had something they haven’t even encountered yet.
I had to schedule appointments 5 months ahead of time just to get an available spot, and my doctor didn’t even listen to me. I would tell him something and he would blow it off, or he would just shove so much information down my throat that I couldn’t comprehend.
As far as the other doctors, if you’re looking for doctors with unstable hands who will likely jab you instead of holding your tongue down with the stick, this is the place to go.
Don’t even get me started on the woman at the front desk, the audacity she had was unbelievable.
The only good part about this place is the free parking located on the side.
Needless to say if you get this place as your primary care physician, switch immediately.

Stay away from this clinic if u want to live. I went in for a reup on my thyroid meds and I had told my doctor I was sick that I had a hard time breathing and I had a fever and was coughing alot I had my kids at the doctors with me. He wasn’t even listening when I asked hom for help he told me he didnt want to get sick and I felt like I was getting pushed out the door. I had bronchitis and cuz he didnt treat it I ended up with Pneumonia. I had to go to the er to get treated. One of these days this office will get sued for malpractice. This happened in January of this yr but I thought I should right a review to spare other poeple from the same fate. Cuz of them im more prone to get pneumonia and im only 30yrs old.

The pros:
Close to my work.
Clinic is in network of my insurance.
Dr. Dossett is a very informative doctor.
The little cons:
This clinic is very old and the equipment is the most outdated I’ve seen.
I peed in a paper cup, and they used oven mitts as padding on the stirrups.
The BIG cons:
The clinic is in network, but I called ahead to time to make sure my insurance covers my FREE annual physical at their clinic. The receptionist (Flora) claimed she checked with my insurance and everything was ALL covered. However, I had to pay a $ 30 «convenience fee» after my appointment, which they didn’t tell me, even though I asked her again if everything is covered before walking in to see my doctor.
What even gets better (or worse), they sent my blood to an out of network lab facility without my consent, so I had to pay a portion of the fees out of pocket. They even gave the lab facility the wrong address so I never received my invoice. I called the clinic when my insurance contacted me that my claims didn’t go through, and the receptionist acted surprised or played dumb. Turns out she actually didn’t check everything, she just assumed my insurance will cover the costs at the lab facility. Oh, then she also said she’s very busy so she can’t check with everyone’s insurance… So she lied to me from the very beginning. Very unprofessional. Don’t go here, or you’ll lose your money!

I wish to God I had read the reviews before going to «wall med » ! Pls do not go to this clinic unless u want 1979’s technology & maybe wanna fake a injury its perfect for you criminals types lol If you have real illness or injury do not get trested here ! I was getting a psyical and the heart rate machine blew up ! I freaked out so bad I just walk out and the Doctor yelled to me why are you upset? Lol pure cyco !

One of the worst medical institutions that I have been to! Actually no THE worst clinic I’ve been too! Simply put, if you wanna send your elderly or yourself to heaven sooner than expected go there. They will do a very descent job at that.
The MDs don’t listen to you, they are in a rush and are extremely impatient. One of them took a call from his sister and had a fight with her in front of us.
Horrible service. I am surprised why and how they are still open.

Made an appointment a week ahead and received a confirmation call the day before. The office is a little old-​school; no high-​tech equipment or plush new seats, etc, but for a regular check-​up and prescription, this is totally fine.
Took me about 5 minutes to get set-​up as a new patient and Dr. Lopresti saw me about 10 minutes after that. It was quick and efficient. Since its my first time setting up a primary care physician, he suggested some basic labwork and vitamins, etc but left it open to me. Super convenient that they have a nurse practitioner with whom I made an appointment to see at the same clinic in about 1.5 months for gyn stuff. :P hoping this can be my new neighborhood clinic! Will be back to review again the next time I visit this place.

I have been here twice and both times arrived a few minutes before my appointment time. Both times I had to wait about an hour in the main waiting room and an additional 10 to 15 minutes in the exam room. Once I saw Dr Ellison I was provided with good care, but the staff should do something about their appointment booking system. It seems like they way overbook appointments.
