As a long time Cluster Headache sufferer I saw countless doctors trying to get relief. Some will tell you that they run out of options, others say there nothing I can do for you to help. The only doctor stuck with me for 15 years was Dr Khelemsky. Never gave up on me, always tried new treatments, new ways to help me, for which I am forever grateful. He really cares for his patients, gentle and kind human being, and excellent doctor!!!

One of the worst experiences I've had at any specialist. Problems were never addressed, waited 2 hours to see a doctor. Once I did, I was allowed about 2 minutes to talk about what I was experiencing, before being told they were essentially too busy and didn't have time to run any real tests. Somehow ended up with a large bill. Went to another doctor at a different location 2 days later, where I was treated promptly, and my issue was addressed. Will never go back here or recommend to anyone.

For the first time in my life I met a doc today who said that I have to read about my chronic daily headache on Internet and educate myself. Why do I need you for in this case? After I've told him about my symptoms and what I thought might be the reason he arrogantly denied it and accused me of being a difficult patient because I dare to suggest, based on my observation, some reasonable explanation to my everyday headaches. I obviously annoyed him and took more than 4 min Of his time. After a test was performed and my suspicions and suggestions were confirmed he did not have decency to accept the fact that I was right. One more thing that I think is important: docs assistant after talking to me quite impatiently for 2 min said that they will not give me any painkillers, although I did not ask or even mentioned I need any. Did she place me right into addict category? Did I give her that impression? Rude and unprofessional person and as arrogant as doc. I was insulted and mistreated and disrespected as never before. Awfull experience. Marina and Halina at the reception desk were nice and pleasant. Thank you ladies.

The doctor was condescending, being reluctant to explain what each medication he was prescribing was used for and how it worked, other than stating that it was for "treating the problem" because it was "very complicated." The (4290 Broadway) office was chaotic, dirty, and I did not have faith in the medical assistants' skill. That being said, the recommended a number of additional tests, which will help rule out any serious neurological problems and was the reason I went to see him. I suppose that was thorough.

Dr. Khelemsky is a fine doctor, but it's extremely disappointing that every time I visit him that I have to wait two hours past my appointment time to actually see the doctor. (If my insurance were accepted elsewhere, I wouldn't be going back to him. But I have to because my migraines are severe and debilitating.) I arrived at his office at 8:45am for my 9am appointment, and I didn't see the doctor until 12:15pm. I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the service and the wait time. Thanks to this, I am on thin ice with my employer now.

Wait time was very short on both visits. I was also offered the option of getting my medical records/results online which was nice. Staff was very responsive and was very thorough with their follow up. They worked with me on prescriptions when my insurance would only cover one with a limited supply and were very helpful as to next steps/future treatment/tracking options. I would highly recommend this office.

The the staff is quite helpful and knowledgeable. The doctor is extremely intelligent, well spoken, and gave me treatment options I hadn't been told about previously from other neurologists. I left the office immediately better off than when I visited, which can't be said by most new patients. If you speak Russian, this office is great for you as they are bilingual and have Russian signage all over the place. They are also quite fluent in English as well, but based upon what I saw in the waiting room, most of their patients are Russian.

My visit was mostly conducted by the P.A., and I only saw the doctor for 5-10 minutes and he was very rude and condescending. The P. A. also treated me as if I was a hypochondriac and I was causing my own headaches. She could not understand that my job was the reason and when I told her my profession, which is a teacher, she looked at me as if I was crazy. I went there for help and left feeling horrible. They did the appropriate testing but their bedside manner was horrible. I would not recommended this practice to anyone.

My visit with this doctor wasn't pleasant. Although I completed the forms for ZocDoc online, the receptionist did not understand and I had to fill out the forms again. Next, I was finally called in to see a nurse practitioner who did a brief exam and then had a few tests done with a medical assistant. After 30+ minutes of tests, I finally saw the doctor for about 5 minutes. I had a very difficult time communicating with the receptionists and didn't feel comfortable with the treatment I received there. I had an appointment with the doctor and saw him for just a few minutes. Thank goodness my insurance covered everything, because they billed my insurance thousands of dollars.

He is a great doctor. We only had to wait less than 10minutes. Listened to my mom's problems patiently, then scheduled for EEG for next day since our appointment was for evening. Had the nerve conduction test done the same day. Staff is also friendly. You will be at advanatgar of having everything done at the same place and would not have to go anywhere else. Highly recommend!!
