No problem with doctor. The problem is with all this medical system when I don't now my expenses until I receive the bill. This is the worst system of the all.
Great service and quick. The doctor explain everything thoroughly and she listen to all my concerns and address it in a proficient manner. Friendly and courteous staff.

No wait time. Dr Elana is amazing
Verified patient
Everything was fine with my appointment. Staff/doctor were courteous. There was a bit of a wait time between going to an exam room and seeing the actual doctor (didn't see the dr until a little over 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment). When I left, the waiting room was packed full of people waiting for appointments. Also, FYI the neighboring exam rooms can hear everything (in case you have any concerns about privacy).
Great service and quick. The doctor explain everything thoroughly and she listen to all my concerns and address it in a proficient manner. Friendly and courteous staff.

Verified patient
Everyone was super nice, friendly, and professional. I love the music in the back and it’s elegant/modern decor. Overall visit wasn’t too long and wasn’t too short just the ideal amount of time. They were also great at accommodating me since I mixed up the time of my appointment.
Verified patient
Elana Shalomov is very knowledgeable physician assistant. The staff is very friendly. The office is clean. I definitely recommend this provider.
Verified patient
She listened to my story then very quickly then looked at the problem areas told me what it is and how to treat it. I was very impressed
Verified patient
the staff was pretty nice, but I had to ask them not to play dance music, which seemed inappropriate for a medical office and made me uncomfortable. once it stopped, I felt relaxed.
Verified patient
Dr. shalom was very nice and helped me with my situation. She listening and spoke with a caring tone and I felt comfortable. I’m very appreciative of her help.
Verified patient
Mine was a very brief yearly check-up. I only had one minor issue that I brought up, and PA Shalom was ready to meet my level of concern and was able to give me a clear, honest assessment of my situation. A brief follow up is already scheduled, and I feel as though my question is being addressed. I didn't expect for the appointment to take a lot of time because I'm in pretty good condition overall, and indeed everything went at a reasonable pace.
Verified patient
No wait time and great bedside manner.
Verified patient
Elana Shalom had excellent bedside manner and was very thorough and professional during my exam. She even noticed I was suffering from acne and offered treatment as well as medication without having to ask and offered a medication that was usually not covered by my health insurance but already had a pharmacy that would take care of petitioning for my insurance to cover it without my having to be involved in the process. I would highly recommend PA Elana Shalom!
Verified patient
Very detailed and generous work. Highly recommend
Verified patient

I traveled all the way from Brooklyn and it was well worth it. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Highly recommended to anyone!!
Verified patient
This place tidy clean and a pleasure to go to
Verified patient
It was ok. Dr Shalom was professional but a little quiet. The nurse talked me through the visit more than the PA. But then she couldn't even take care of the reason I came in so now I have to go back and see the actual doctor and she's almost never available so i'm waiting a month to see her.
Very smooth and respectful
Very nice and helpful to my needs.
Verified patient
Great visit with the PA
