04-2025 Dutchess County Medical Examiner in Best 5 MD and Hospital near Poughkeepsie, NY (Part 4)Ryan Borress, MD - Poughkeepsie Kim Nota: Have been seeing Dr. Borress for years. Nicest dr and knows his stuff. Had to see another dr in the group due to scheduling problems. Never again! Dr. Borress is the best.
Michael Hugh, MD - Poughkeepsie •Tasha•: My daughter had her first appointment. She did well. It was time to see Dr Hugh. He was informative, but when I asked a question, he became very defensive or annoyed. I’m not a doctor. I thought asking questions is okay, especially for a 9 year old That’s not capable of advocating for herself. Just not really inviting and will find someone else. I will say the tech or nurse that did her allergy test, was awesome.
eRiver Neurology Of NY, LLC - fishkill - Fishkill Toxic Flame: I have been going to this neurologist for 3 years for complex and aura migraines. I had even had get an EEG done where they found blips in my right frontal lob. Yesterday I needed a doctors note for my job so I went into the practice where I found out all of my diagnoses were wrong. Wrong. The notes from my last visit says that I have migraines without aura, they make no mention of my complex migraines and state I have 2 brothers and 6 sisters which is not correct. The notes also said I was diagnosed with complex migraines at a hospital in Buffalo where I go for college, not correct. I was diagnosed at Vasar 3 years ago. Two years ago I started taking a birth control with estrogen but last year my primary care doctor took me off of it and said I needed to see my neurologist. For context you can’t take birth control with estrogen if you have aura migraines because they can cause mini strokes. So for a year I was taking something that could have caused complications or even be life threatening because Dr. Rose Matthews could not do her job and include the correct diagnosis in my files. My primary care doctor knew I should not have been on it because she has the correct diagnosis in her files. Every appointment with Dr.Rose Matthew consisted of us talking about my symptoms and frequency of these episodes. Why did she not have the correct information on file? Why did I go to these appointment just for everything I told her to be ignored and watered down? My last appointment with Dr.Matthew was about the birth control. She had said that if I have aura migraines then I should be put on progesterone only pills. So she did acknowledge that I have aura migraines, why does it say that I have migraines without aura in my files? The woman at the front desk asked my mother on the phone, she said “Why did you guys not notice this before?” Dr. Matthews was not giving me my visit notes so how would I have known? Even if she had been giving me these notes, does that negate that fact that this woman has not been correctly filing the appointment notes and/or the proper diagnosis? Is it not her responsibility, as a doctor, to make sure that she is listening to the needs of the patient and correctly diagnosing them? She wasn’t even the one to diagnose me with these conditions so does that mean to ignore their existence? This whole situation is ridiculous. If you can’t handle the responsibility of being a doctor then you shouldn’t be one.
FirstCare Walk-In Medical Center - Highland Matthew Scarpaci: I came in with my son yesterday because he was having some ear pain. We were in the area visiting family and needed a place that was highly rated and took our out-of-network insurance. David saw us and was quickly able to navigate our issue and alleviate my sons nerves. Then Julie, the PA, came in, spoke to us and was able to get us the treatment we needed. Both of them had outstanding bedside manner and were able to keep my son comfortable through the process. I cannot recommend FirstCare enough for their service and especially the care that David and Julie provided. Thank you!
Hudson Valley Urology - Poughkeepsie Susan Temple: I have been a patient of Dr Katz for 20+ years, and I absolutely adore him! He has been the best, no matter what was going on. Dennis and Eric from Medtronic are great as well.
I begged (jokingly) Dr Katz to move to Florida with me, because Ill never find any other kind of Dr like him. Even knowing he only works on womens issues- when my son went to the ER with a kidney stone and they asked who to call? Dr Katz was the first name that came to mind. It so happened he was in the hospital, and came to see my son. He recommended a fantastic Dr from HV Urology to help.him.
He went above and beyond for me, and youd be hard pressed to find another Dr- let alone specialist- to do that. Dr Katz, I love ya honey, and miss you! Youre the best!
