My annual physical appointment was booked for 4:20pm and my vitals were not taken until 5:30pm. After my vitals were taken, for just three minutes, I was told to wait in the waiting room for a second time until the doctor called on me (which was around 5:45pm).
My appointment with the doctor lasted 10 minutes (being generous) and although she was sweet, it felt rushed. I was advised by this practice to fast for 8 hours for the blood work, however I was not informed that this facility did not have an on site Hemo lab to collect my blood, and was instructed to go to a Labcorps nearby. I looked up Labcorp and all facilities in NYC close at 5pm; it was already 6pm, meaning, I had fasted all day for no reason.
Staff and Doctor were nice but I would never recommend going to 14stMedical!! Horrendous wait time, and an overall poor lack of communication from this facility. A subpar experience at best.

Wait time was over an hour. Came for an annual but basically didn't get a single thing checked out. My heart rate wasn't even listened to.

I went to see the doctor for a chest pain, she scared me by imagining the worst case scenario and sent me to do too many tests (for exemple she shceduled 1 MRI + 1 XR and when i did the MRI the other doctor told me it was useless to do both)
February 9, 2026Lucille C.Verified patient
This review is not for Dr. Kuo, who is a great doctor. Sadly, my experience with the clinic itself was beyond frustrating. I reached out multiple times regarding a prior Auth.
and received little to no response. I was initially told the authorization was sent to my insurance on 1/22. When I followed up because my insurance still had not received anything, I was then told by another employee that it was actually sent on 1/28. I was directed to email the clinical manager, Cat L., at a generic email address and was told I would receive a response within 2–3 hours. I never received a response. In addition, the office consistently fails to answer their phones, making it very difficult to reach anyone for assistance. However, when I emailed to request that my pending appointments be canceled, I received a prompt response confirming the cancellations yet my prior emails requesting a status update were ignored. The lack of communication/inconsistent information is extremely disappointing.

I never even saw the doctor I scheduled the appointment with. I went specifically for allergy testing, yet the visit was handled in a completely disorganized way. I was not told in advance that the allergist only works on Tuesdays, so I had to return a second time just to see the specialist. As a result, I was charged three separate times for what should have been a single course of care.
The waiting room was chaotic, with Family Feud blaring on the TV and loud music playing at the same time. It was stressful and completely inappropriate for a medical setting.
Billing was a nightmare. My card was charged repeatedly, and my insurance rejected the charges, leaving me unexpectedly out of pocket for services that should have been covered at a properly run medical practice.
I have hypertension that is normally well controlled with medication, yet my blood pressure spiked during both visits due to the stress of this office.
If zero stars were an option, that’s what I would give.

December 27, 2025Diamond P.Verified patient
Very good doctor and attentive! Makes the most of the short appointments. Helps research things live and shows you what you should do - always come prepared with a list of questions and concerns bc your mind can easily forget some when you’re in the office for 10 minutes with the doc!

October 25, 2025Andrew R.Verified patient
Nothing against the Dr herself necessarily, but it was the most bizarre appointment I’ve had. After you check in in the lobby, they have you sit in chairs lining a narrow hallway? It was over an hour before I saw the Dr because she was stuck in traffic, but they gave no updates the entire time. The physical itself was also really weird, they never actually examined me but instead just had me answer a questionnaire and do an EKG which I’ve never been asked to do before (no prior heart conditions or reason I would need one?). Then they sent me home with a stack of labs to get done. I left feeling really uncomfortable. I’ve had many routine physicals throughout my life, and this one was unlike any experience I’ve had prior.

I wasn't informed that a male provider would be covering my appointment that day. It turned out fine but it would have been respectful to know in advance.
