04-2025 New York State Veterinary Medical Society in Best 18 MEDICAL SERVICES near Albany, NY (Part 2)SKIN Specialists of the Capital Region and Med Spa - Albany Siobhan MacLeod: Went in for a yearly mole check. The office staff were very courteous and helped me with the portal log in. I met with Leena Brown and her nurse who were both amazing. Took their time with me and removed two problem areas. Very satisfied with the entire office and will definitely recommend them to everyone.
Kyle R. Flik, MD - Albany Judy Rodgers: Dr Flik was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I took him an MRI film from a 3rd world country. He had me do an x-ray and quickly gave me a diagnosis that I recognized as true. This is after 15 months of cortisone shots, PT and other processes that werent helping. I appreciated his knowledge, kindness and willingness to help as quickly as possible.
Community Care Physicians - Latham D G: Awful service. They have become so lazy that they require you to check in before you show up. They use a portal different from everyone else (cant just use.mychart huh). Pediatric care is terrible. I can never get scripts in a timely fashion. They are ONLY about getting you to come in, everyone else does not require a sick call for every little thing. They are always rude on the phone and refuse to help. Find a different location, they are terrible
Pan Dermatology, PC - Albany Mr. Vacca: Great service and staff. I was running a half hour late to my appointment and called in advance to let them know I was going to be late. They kindly let me know I was going to be too late for an appointment. Instead of charging me for a missed appointment as I should have been, they quickly rescheduled me for a couple hours later in the day. Phenomenal customer service!
Dr. Hasan Atalay, MD, FACC - Albany Ricardo Brown: Prior to becoming a patient of Dr. Atalay I visited with my wife who was his patient, ŵhat I saw made me want to become a patient of his as well, his insights, professionalism and mannerisms were refreshing to see as one of her previous doctors was gruff and confrontational. Its only been one visit but I am pleased thus far.
Saratoga Hospital - Saratoga Springs bo anselmo: The system at Saratoga Hospital ER is completely broken. I will never go there ever again and out of kindness and concern I will tell everyone I know to avoid it so that they don’t have to endure an experience such as ours.
We spent 28 hours total in the ER with a mental health emergency where the patient I brought was initially compliant with getting help. The first 12 hours were in the large waiting room with no wifi, 1 bar of cell service, and no water to drink unless you buy a bottle, then you can’t even refill it because the water fountains are off.
Next we spent 14 hours in a windowless ER room and she was not allowed to go outside just to get a breath of fresh air and was not brought or offered any food or water. I had to leave her alone in a fragile state to get food for her from town.
So, 26 hours after we arrived, she finally saw the clinician, and at that point she just wanted to be released home, who would blame her? Any hope I had for her of getting an evaluation and a transfer to an inpatient program where she would get some medication management was destroyed. The inefficient system of this hospital completely undermined our ability to get much needed care.
Lastly, the admin person in the ER spoke very disrespectfully to me when I was consulting with our nurse, implying that I needed to wait for the assigned nurse to return and not bother a different staff member. I was speaking with our nurse.
The patient I was with also heard the staff talking badly about other patients in the ER using language that was gossipy, judgmental, and truly unprofessional.
All I am asking is that the hospital assess its system, read these reviews, and make changes:
1. If a telehealth crisis evaluation was available for mental healthcare, wait time would be much improved instead of having one provider who can only see 3 patients per 7 hour shift.
2. Have a water bottle filling station in the waiting area.
3. Provide wifi in the waiting area.
4. Provide some training on patient care, advocacy, respect, kindness, and empathy.
It is a beautiful facility and the waiting room is impressive looking and there is lovely art on the walls, but for a town as well resourced as Saratoga, I feel like we can do a lot better as far as care goes.
St Peters Rensselaer Health Center - Rensselaer Caroline Boule: I’m so disappointed with what has happened to this clinic since May 2024. They do not refill maintenance medication after multiple requests on MyChart and via phone. One of the nurses even gave me incorrect information on how to take medication when I finally reached someone. They must not have known that I’m a doctor myself and I’m switching practices. I just feel bad for the patients who have difficulty advocating for themselves. Please, SPHP, get this practice together for the safety and well-being of your patients!
Stefanos Haddad, MD - Albany Mary Faulkner: Dr. Haddad was amazing. He is always kind considerate, and very willing to share his expertise and knowledge to give me the props and cons of my situation.
Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center - Albany Michelle Orr: 900 Lark Dr. in Albany Whitney Young Dental I was in a lot of pain. I got in fast with an emergency appointment. Everyone there is very nice. Pleasant answered all my questions did not rush me very clean. They were very thorough with my tooth extraction. They took an x-ray after to make sure there is nothing left behind. I will be going back special thanks to Tracy and Liz. They helped me a lot. Thank you so much.
