“Excellent provider who thoroughly explained what she was doing and what some treatment options could be. Did a quick and complete exam, found an issue, did another investigation with a camera down throat to rule out items, then explained everything perfectly. Really great experience!”

I filtered my search for in-network doctors and was told the visit would be out of network and that the doctors were all surgeons affiliated with hospitals where perhaps they were in network, but that it didn’t cover the visit. Then I was seen not by the doctor who I booked but by a PA (who by the way was lovely and knowledgeable). In the end I felt I got good care by someone knowledgeable but certainly also left with a big feeling of getting baited and switched. Not sure who is at fault here (zocdoc or the provider) but not a great experience.

This review is not about the provider since I didn’t see the provider. It was about the experience. When I arrived, it seemed like they were unaware of my appointment. Then I was informed that I was out of network and I had to pay a fee. I ended up cancelling the appointment. I wish I was informed about this prior to traveling to the clinic - my time was wasted.

Dr. Araslanova was great - excellent listener, thorough consultation, great explanation. She insisted on f/u by phone even of things improve, which you don’t hear often.
