Park West Medical Care

They charged my copay several times as «specialist» and refused to refund or work with my ins to fix it. Doc offices tell me to call the billing company, billing company tells me to call insurance, and insurance tells me to call the doctor! Now their phone line is always busy (in 2014??). I’ve spent an absurd amount of time trying to fix a $ 20 error.
Additionally, be prepared to wait HOURS to get in to see a doctor if you are sick. They refuse to give you an appointment time, tell you to walk in, and you just sit there for hours upon hours. I’m never coming here again.

The wait time is terrible and the doctors aren’t great either. I went there with a lingering headache and back/​neck pain and was told I had mono and prescribed «rest» and some pain killers. Less than 24 hours later I ended up in the ER where I found out I had meningitis.
Despite that disaster I kept going back. The final straw was when one of their physicians sent my bill to a debt collector when I never received any notices about said bill.
This place is a mess all around and I wouldn’t suggest it.

I came here as a walk-​in with symptoms of strep throat. I was in horrible pain and had all the tell-​tale signs. I waited for well over an hour in the waiting room. I finally got in to see Dr. Degliuomini. He refused to do a rapid strep test because of the high rate of false negatives. This is absurd to me. If it comes back positive, I start the AB. If it comes back negative, we still have the throat culture to verify. I got a scrip from him for the AB and against his advice, I began taking it right away. Sure enough my symptoms went away within days. THREE weeks later his office left numerous messages informing me that I did have strep. I would never go there again. To make matters worse, I am now (years later) being contacted by a collection’s agency, despite having never received any direct communication from them about any balance owed. This awful visit still haunts me. Health consumer beware.

Only go here when desperate. They have walk in hours certain times of day. This is my second time here. Both times I have felt so sick I didn’t want to go to my doctor in manhattan. Honestly I think I wait just as long as it would take to get to her. 50 minutes and counting to be seen.

Wonderful experience in a time of need! I was sick and could only be seen that day. After scouring reviews of doctors in the area that took my crappy insurance, PWMC had consistently good ratings and zero creepy experiences (unlike some doctors in Park Slope). I went in without an appointment, was seen within 20 minutes, and was a happy customer in another 15 minutes! The doctor was kind, professional, and very thorough. He was even able to send my prescriptions electronically to the pharmacy across the street, fancy! So nice to have quality, easily accessible health care nearby.

I’ve visited this office twice, when I was too rushed or sick to be able to get to my primary physician. I did walk-​in hours both times. The first time I was seen almost immediately and saw Dr. Fitzpatrick, and he prescribed some antibiotics without confirming I had a bacterial infection, turns out I didn’t and my body reacted badly to the medication. So that wasn’t so great.
The other day I was very sick and had to wait almost 2 hours to be seen, but once I did I was seen by Dr. Degliuomini, who did a thorough exam and took time to speak to me about my treatment, and ordered a full blood work up to be sure. He was funny and personable.
I have yet to see how easily I can get in touch with the office to retrieve the test results, but I would say that if the clinic is close to you, this office is a pretty good option for immediate care.

this was my first time visiting with dr. degliuomini. he was extremely friendly and easy to talk to.
i did have to wait nearly 40 minutes in the waiting room, which was annoying since i had made an appt and was pretty pressed for time.
everyone was really nice though.
i’ll definitely be back!

I have gone to Dr. Degliuomini twice. He was thorough and took time to explain what he was doing and why and also to answer my questions. However, I am still deciding whether or not I want him to be my permanent physician. His hours are terrible — Mon-​Thurs 9−11am and 2−4pm. So I would have to take off work to go. Also, it seemed to take them a long time to get back to me when I called with follow-​up questions or to ask about test results, and once I did not receive a call back at all. I think the office could use a little more organization. Overall, the staff that I have met are pleasant and professional though. Oh yeah, and it took me a LONG time to figure out how to pronounce that guy’s name!
