“The group seems knowledgeable and organized. I waited about 15 minutes before my scheduled time to go to consultation room. The nurse took all my vitals and lab work I brought in with me and then I waited another 15 minutes until Dr. Shamah came. She was patient and took time to listen to understand my medical history. I was very happy for a first visit and scheduled my annual exam as the next visit.”

The doctor herself was great, but pretty much everything else about this place was frustrating and poorly run.

Good visit. The doctor was very attentive and thorough.
The group seems knowledgeable and organized. I waited about 15 minutes before my scheduled time to go to consultation room.

I was very happy for a first visit and scheduled my annual exam as the next visit.
Verified patient
Waiting an hour in the lobby area after checking in. Then spent another two hours in the room which was overheated. The doctor was nice but overbooked and didn’t attend to my appointment much.
Excellent doctor who truly listens and takes the time to understand your complete health profile. Puts in a ton of time and effort during appts.
One of the best doctors in NY. Dr. Shaham was very attentive and caring. She did not want to take any risk with my health and sent me right away to do a CT scan. To my surprise, she and her staff were following up with me throughout the day to make sure I was fine. After all my tests were done late that day, the ER contacted Dr. Shaham to give her an update, and she was still available to discuss the results. I never had that experience with someone who cares for her patients at that level—highly recommended!
Verified patient
Best experience I’ve had with a GP. She was attentive, patient, understanding, supportive. I didn’t feel rushed whatsoever or that my concerns/questions were dismissed or downplayed - instead I felt she listened and genuinely wanted to provide thorough care and guidance. 10/10 would recommend!
Verified patient
Dr. Shaham is the best PCP I have been to. She is thorough, and my annual physical was more comprehensive than I have ever had anywhere else. She listens to you and addresses any of your concerns, big or small. She and her staff are very professional and skilled and I am so happy I was able to find a doctor and practice of this caliber on ZocDoc.
Verified patient
My appointment was at 2, saw a kind nurse who took my vitals. I never got to see the doctor because they were so backed up. By 3:30 I still hadn’t been seen and had to leave. They couldn’t reschedule me in the near future on a mutually convenient date. The hunt for a PCP continues…
Verified patient
Dr. Shaham gives direct, nonjudgmental feedback about your health data and questions. As an older patient, I appreciate her knowledge, experience, and candor. However, I had a roughly 20-25 minute wait between seeing the nurse and the doctor.
