Slocum-Dickson Medical Group Reviews ( 129 )

  1. U only get 3 things, am a nurse and for some reason he included reading my labs to me, which he included labs that he as a primary care Dr he shouldn’t be running,

  2. To the operator who had to look up my information to give my doctor a message and was huffing and puffing in my ear lighten up its literally your job.

  3. For covid 19 Pandemic you have way to many people in one Building of that size I din t care if you tape off every other chair that is not 6 feet apart shame on you are you going stuoid or what ..

  4. Worst experience I’ve ever had here annette s. Was very rude to my girlfriend yelled at her in front of my 9 year old son he even asked why she yelled at my girlfriend this seriously needs to be taken care that was very disrespectful she …

  5. Specifically Dr. Rio, very very VERY unprofessional! Will try to convince you to do something that you don’t want to. She doesn’t accept the answer no. The. Will proceed to tell you you are a bad parent for disagreeing with her. She has made me leave the office making me think I’m an awful mother and crying on more than one occasion!

  6. Aploks has been very discraminatory towards Disabled people and often hangs up when calling with urgent needs. Very disrespectful towards others, i highly recomend finding alternative place for your medical needs. Dr. Podzimek would be yourr best bet when it comes to a ENT.

  7. Every time! Every single time, without fail, it is over an hour wait. Why schedule an appointment for one time when you don’t actually take patients in until 1 – 1.5 hours later.

  8. My whole family comes to Slocum and have been coming here for years. We all love it here. My primary is not here but my Endocrinologist Dr. Raja is here and he is the best.

  9. Unbelievable! I called to get some information from the business office and I get a voice mailbox to leave a message!!! Been waiting a long time and no callback yet. I bet if I had chosen the option “to make a payment on my bill” that my call would have been answered by a human being.

  10. Usually pretty quick. Doctors & NP’s are usually friendly & professional. Nurses seem a bit on the cold side for bedside manner. I understand it’s urgent Care however especially when treating a sick child a smile goes a long way.

  11. I don’t know whether the office staffs are paid well enough. Everyone is miserable and rude. I will not go into my experience now, but this what I can say for now, please, please,please stay away from Dr. Michael McNaulty. If you don’t you will regret it big time.

  12. Went there and nurse would not let me see a doctor isnt that what urgent care is for and a month later get a letter from there stating i cant come there anymore all because i complained about urgent care this place sucks

  13. Very terrible service in urgent care Annette s. Was very rude she has no business working in the medical field with an attitude like she has. I will NEVER come back here again and if you have children I would go somewhere else.

  14. I run a small business that list client transport ad a service. My client and I were horrified at the tone and choice of words by the front clerk at the main level desk. My client has never spoken an ill word about another before today. She …

  15. wastes my time being held on the phone, seems like they answer when it is convenient for them, one time I wasted 18:46 mins on hold. Slocum endo ., wastes even more time explaining when i say i need a perscription sent over. Then wastes …

  16. I will never recommend anyone to New Hartford Slocum Dickson unless they want to have a Dr who doesn’t know who her patients are after 4yrs due to never being able to see their own patient. Drs that are in such a rush to move on to the next kid and hurries out the door. I’m so disappointed in this place. I’m transferring my kids ASAP!!!

  17. The expirience was okay, it was my first pregnancy but i have federal insuance and they charged me out the butt for my first appointment. Literally my insurance only covered 19.00 of the 265.00 bill they sent me. And it was all very …

  18. DON’T WORK HERE LPN’S!!!!! If I told you everything you would be shocked! At first it’s great, but be prepared to be treated like trash, a dog eat dog world, mob attack mentality with higher ups! It’s a game, business, it’s not about the patient!!!

  19. My son and I both see Dr. Visalli at Slocum-Dickson for our Primary Care; he is by far the best doctor I have ever seen in my entire life. Dr. Visalli provides the perfect balance of professional knowledge, human compassion and unwavering …

  20. I have been seeing Dr’s at Slocum-Dickson since 2013.
    Dr. Gould, the nurses and staff are all fantastic! I highly recommend Dr. Gould. In fact he sees both of my children as well. …

  21. Dr. LaFont has a nurse – Jamie, who should not be allowed to working in this profession. She is mean, short tempered and has no patience or empathy. It is really a disgrace that she continues to be employed in this office.

  22. Horrible urgent care!! Waited 2 hours for the physician assistant (a woman) to spend less than 30 seconds with me. She should be fired. I went the next day to five star in syracuse and they took excellent care of me.

  23. Beyond irritated with the billing office and they way business is conducted. If you have a medical condition or get a variety of testing done, have a high deductible plan and have to pay OOP, make sure you can afford what their percentage …

  24. Horrid find a Dr. Elsewhere …no one ans the calls. I have been waiting for a call back for 2 months from my primary care Dr. Stornelli. And I have been trying to pay my bill for over a month. The billing office is awful to. Run away from …

  25. After being recommended to Alex Harris, by our former eye doctor, Dr. Femia from Rome (retired), we regret selecting Dr. Harris, and SDMG in general. After more than a two hour wait, did have initial eye tests and eye drop prep., my …

  26. One of the worst doctors I’ve even seen works here. Don’t go to Dr. Hunsiker unless you want a doctor with absolutely NO beside manner. Her PA Jillian Ives is great though. I have had several doctors in different specialities at Slocum and …

  27. Tried to go to urgent care with my mother due to physical pain because she was shoved to the ground, and Dr. Shelly Hearn refused to see her due to liability reasons, no police report was made by my mother but they still refused. …

  28. On the plus side, there are multiple providers with different specialties in one building. The lab and radiology departments are also on site. On the down side the staff in my providers (Dr. Syed) office is confrontational. Instead of …

  29. It’s funny how the billing office answers within seconds but if you actually need to speak with a physician’s office, you’re on hold until the fourth coming of Christ. All I want to do is call to cancel an appointment. What do I get …

  30. Today,June 6,2019 … , around 10:15 AM at Lower East Reception where I had an appointment, I witnessed a man who sat his dog (Husky) on the chairs where people sit in the waiting room, and was cleaning fleas off of the dog, and throwing …

  31. It was my first pregnancy. They didnt check my blood type before administering a rhogam shot. Dr. Peter scklair was useless. Barely seen him. Mostly his np that was careless. Poor communication between staff members regarding appointments …

  32. I previously had several doctors here that I loved. Due to some ridiculous policy change, they decided to no longer take my medical insurance providers card for pmt of services rendered. That was a very traumatic time for me, and I don’t …

  33. One star because Google won’t allow me to leave a zero star review. I arrived at SD on Burrstone today for an initial appointment with Dr. Syed. I attempted to check in with the receptionist downstairs who explained that I needed to check …

  34. This rating is for urgent care. My most recent visit was today. In under 20 minutes from my arrival I had my leg stitched up. Go to St Elizabeth and it would be a 4 hour wait before anything is done. I have been here many times before over …

  35. Don’t go there. Been going for years. Dr Holden very dismissive and almost gives one word answers. She is also against helping with mental health issues and filing leave documentations for employment and insurance which almost cost me my …

  36. The upper level lab is supposed to be fast but every time a lab person comes to the front they have to stop and chit chat with the receptionist for way too long when people are waiting on their time. How about chit chatting on your time and focus on the patient.

  37. I saw Dr. Lee… dermatology…he was great as were all the people in his office….no issues… even. Unfortunately he retired…(which he is certainly entitled to do)… after that…. terrible..new Dr. Who’s name I don’t recall or care …

  38. The actual care staff are great. Our sons see Dr Rio and her NP Sara. Both have been great. The reception staff? Terrible. The last few times I’ve been the desk was staffed by what looked like high school aged girls. They were very …

  39. I have been a patient for at least 20 years. My insurance changed. I called to ask about the change and got the rudest young person on the phone. One word answers…yes…no. Just an “I’m sorry about this” would have been enough. She did …

  40. Save yourself and dont go here. Slocum is tough, they have a few genuine doctors but there are a number that just dont get what its like to be a patient. Apparently second opinions are frowned upon and speaking for yourself or having an …

  41. I’m not happy and is very sad that the staff in Dr. Syed M. Office always over book patients appointments and then you have to wait over an hour to be seen. Very poor service ! But the Doctor is great !

  42. I had a upper GI done on May 17th. and still do not have the results from the biopsy. I have asked Dr Mirsa’s office twice for the results with no response and my Dr.’s Office asked for the results twice. This is the last message I sent …

  43. I needed to get my mom a primary care provider. I was given a pamphlet with a number of providers who were accepting new patients. So I called one. I received a phone call the next day telling me Tha this provider wouldn’t accept my mom. I …

  44. 3 out of 4 Doctors I have seen here have zero bedside manners, were extremely condescending, and literally 0 help. For each of those 3 Doctor’s I had to have my GP find me someone outside of Slocum to actually get the help I needed. In …

  45. Horrible. Have been having stomach issues and went to see a GI doctor, they told me that I need to get an endoscopy quick and that they had some spots available next week. THen they asked if I had Covid Vaccine which I don’t because I had …

  46. I needed to change MEDICAL GROUPS for personal reasons. I have issues with my Mom and MVHS was closer to home. Anyway, I made a mistake trying to change doctors. I liked Dr. Anderson and I would like to return to him. I am almost 73 …

  47. If I could give zero stars I would, first off not practicing covid guidelines at all,
    the check in line people are one right after another, no social distancing, the …

  48. We have been a patient of Dr. Breslow for 40 years and love him. There was some turn over in his office when Christine left and we were not happy with the new staff. Since Joseph and Vickie are now the office staff we get great service. …

  49. This company threatened me by mail for no reason whatsoever. I’m not even a patient of theirs, never was. I was referred for a radiology scan and they kept rescheduling me and lying about why. When I finally cancelled the appointment, they …

  50. If you want an answer to any of your important medical questions don’t call Slocum. After waiting on hold for almost 30 min I was able to leave a message that was unanswered… going on three days now? Not the first time this has happened. …

  51. Back in January I came into the urgent care on a Saturday evening, I passed out in the hallway due to being severely dehydrated and sick. Quickly a nurse (katlyn) came and helped me, the amount of compassion and sense of urgency she …

  52. I would put zero stars if it was an option. Family misdiagnosed by doctor’s there and discriminated in urgent care due to health insurance. This is not the last time they will hear from me

  53. Absolutely the worst experience ever. Dr. Patrick Burke . Supposedly a Neuologist was rude, unprofessional and late. My son had an unexplained seizure in October he had the first availability and this MD ordered a stat EEG and stat MRI …

  54. I called about my kids being seen as I grew up going to Slocum but now live in a different place. I wanted to get my kids checked out at urgent care but they told me no since they are two weeks away from being 2 and they don’t see under …

  55. Not pleased. In order to get an appointment, ya have to make an appointment with your primary care provider(if ya have one). Or ya gotta see other doctors, who run various useless tests, before being referred to an actual cardiologist. …

  56. Worst experience from so called medical professionals. I understand my son is 18 but he is still in high school and wanted me in the room. The nurse literally said patient only and shut the door in my face! Every person in this facility has been extremely rude. My entire family will no longer patronize this facility

  57. Slocum Dickson is a sleezy at best practice. At first I got a bill for $145 for 60 minutes of medical practice. They literally had me in for 30 minutes most of which was me filling out a questionnaire. After spending time fighting with them …

  58. I’m an RN, BSN and am highly disappointed with the “care” (hint: I didn’t receive any) at the urgent care here at Slocum Dickson. I was complaining of prolonged active bleeding, and when I was called into the back room after describing my …

  59. I was just kicked out of my doctors office by letter and the reason she gave was because I wouldn’t listen and follow her directions to MY care! I actually did everything she asked of me with no questions, my concern is Kathleen garbooshian …

  60. 40 min wait to see doc, some people wear mask below nose. Many do not adhere to 6ft away seating . But besides that I love doctor Raja endocrinologist best in the area!!! And…I am very picky about who is my physician.

  61. If you’re looking for a primary Doctor, don’t chose Goodman! If he makes a mistake & you complain, he throws you out! My mother ended up in the hospital just days after seeing him.

  62. The staff, nurses and allergist were so rude! I had to wait an extra HOUR to just get into an office and have a 5 minute discussion about my allergies, keep in mind MY allergies and the doctor was asking my mother everything about me… I’m …

  63. Dr V and his staff at the urgent care were very rude to us today. I have never had a doctor talk down to us like this. Background my husband has copd and our doctor sent us here to get a neb treatment. We were take in quick but as soon as …

  64. Absolutely avoid for pediatrics. First thing you’re greeted with are awful receptionists purposefully wasting your time. Then when you do finally meet the pediatrician they’re completely ignorant of their own supposed specialty. Ive never …

  65. It’s Monday January 2 2023 and the holiday was yesterday not today you should be open and seeing patients maybe it’s time to look for a new doctor offices freaking ridiculous

  66. Some of the people here are nice, but as other reviewers have mentioned, they take zero COVID precautions and that’s simply not acceptable for a healthcare facility. Only a small handful of employees and patients mask, there is no …

  67. I see Dr raja and he is the nicest man ever but when I called the other day the receptionist hung up on me before I could even finish talking l. It was so rude. I called back and Jennifer answered. These people can at least say have a good …

  68. Went to their “quality control,” Diane, for help with my appointments. She yelled and made everything worse. She wouldn’t listen to what the doctor was saying. Then got mad and blamed the patient for our other patients first. Sloppy work …

  69. My Neurologist, Dr. Burke is fantastic and caught seizures that my Now not PCP refused to test for and argued w him that they they weren’t! Only complaint, thought ALL MEDICAL FACILITIES HAD TO HAVE MASKS!!! There is still covid and hand washing is standard no matter what facility you are at!

  70. So went to Oncology with my friend who has been battling cancer. The nurses are not wearing masks. The patience aren’t wearing masks. They said they don’t have to. I was under the impression the CDC revision on healthcare workers and …
