First of all the office was dirty, there were not enough seats for the patients to sit. It was loud, the reception staff appeared unprofessional, having personal conversations behind the desk, etc. Once I was taken inside the office was clutter and still dirty. I did not like how fast the doctor was ready to diagnose without really taking his time to explore my symptoms. He asked me to come back and I never bothered.

March 21, 2019Ashlie P.Verified patient
My current endocrinologist is out on medical leave. Dr.Zewge is Not understanding at all!!! He wanted to prescribe me a medicine that I don't take at all! I've been taking the same medicine for over 10 years! I am definitely shopping around for a new endocrinologist in which is understanding.

The receptionist The reception purposely said they move me they put another couple patient in front of me because I was asking when I was going to be seeing it is the most rude doctor office I’ve ever been to and I’m actually going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau
March 13, 2019Alberto D.Verified patient
Dr. Shiferaw Deribe's staff was kind and helpful. The wait was short. When my information was taken and I had a sit-down with Dr. Shiferaw Deribe, it was clear he was very knowledgable and eager to help me find a solution to my issues.
February 1, 2019Charles R.Verified patient
I was extremely disappointed I waited for two and a half hours in some small little pinky clinic to be seen by him only to basically have him just mumble not really discuss anything just rattle off options didn't take the time to really get to know me to know what's going on and so on and so forth I do not plan on going back to him
January 22, 2019Eric S.Verified patient
I really greatly appreciated that Dr. Deribe was thorough with his testing. He had me do all the bloodwork to try to figure out exactly what was the problem. He’s very detail and communicates very well. I was accompanied by my mom and she too will be seeing Dr. Deribe from now!

I wasn’t there but my mother and home attendant where there, all he did was take notes, draw blood and come back in 2 weeks...he also prescribed or suggested a painless machine for diabetes, the insurance didn’t cover, so there was no other suggestions
October 11, 2018Alba V.Verified patient
Dr.Deribe was very attentative , He took his time explaining my situation. I left assured and comfortable.Im looking forward to my next appointment in 3 months. I live in another borough,This was the only specialist in his field available.Other Doctors had openings 3-4 months later, Dr.Deribe is a blessing to the community he serves.

It was very good. I explained to him my situation and he went from there. Ordered labs and etc right away on the spot. He is straight to the point. Looking forward to continuing my thyroid issues with him. Will recommend.
September 1, 2018Adriana M.Verified patient
Doctor was extremely rude and dismissive and despite the fact that I went in with detailed written notes, lab results, and a diagnosis from my PCP, he ignored all of this. He wasted my time repeating labs and made
me return 2 weeks later, where he had no recollection of my first visit, made me wait over 2 hours, and then made derogatory comments about my body and told me that there was nothing wrong with me despite having test results in front of him from my previous visit suggesting otherwise. Altogether it was an awful experience and he was extremely rude.
