Ambrose Pipia , MD

Went to my long awaited appointment. Waited 2 hours! When I made my appointment, I specifically said I needed a physical and flush my ear out. Went to the him today and he did NOTHING! He said to put drops in my ear and come back so he can flush it, When he could have put drops himself and flushed it right there, but I guess he has no time for that. He didn’t draw my blood because I didn’t fast, but no one told me to fast when I made the «physical» appointment. Scam! He wants you to come back so he can keep charging you! Then after I yelled at them, receptionist told me that the next appointment is not until October. I wasn’t trying to make an appointment genius! Please don’t go to this doctor.

I’ve been to Dr. Pipia’s office (both in Astoria and Flushing) multiple times. I have had nothing but the utmost professional services. Dr. Pipia is a kind professional. He takes the time to talk to you to get appropriate background information and explains options thoroughly. The only reason I didn’t give 5 rating is that the shared office space can be a little cramped sometimes.

***Update:
In part 2 of my physical, I went back today to get my blood work done. The office tried to charge me again since they claim they coded my last visit as an office visit and not as a physical. I was very firm that I shouldn’t be asked to pay twice for something that should have been done in one visit, and that it is up to them to code correctly.
The receptionist /​nurse told me, I quote: «OK, whatever.»
I am really annoyed because I am sure I’m going to have to call my insurance company to straighten this situation out. Total waste of time, totally stressful experience. I can hardly imagine an office run any worse than that. It really deserves ZERO STARS.

Worst experience, ever. Don’t you even think about calling there.
He has 2 offices in Flushing and Astoria. I had very bad flu symptoms, and called Flushing office for appointment, The receptionist made an appointment for me. Fine. Then, when I got at Flushing office, the door was closed! When I called again, she said that the appointment was at Astoria office, and she always asked patient which office he/​she wanted. NO, YOU DID NOT ASK ME!!! If you did, why I am standing at the door of the empty office?! I offered to come to Astoria later, but she said that no appointment on the day was available, and if I wanted to come 4 days later. EXCUSE ME, I HAVE FLU!!! Do you think I need you 4 days later!!! Totally irresponsible, unkind, retarded. Don’t go there. You will be her next victim.
