Astoria Medical, P.C.

Dr. Litchfield will make an appointment with you, then cancel it two days before. Then you'll have to do the work to reschedule it and someone from a call center--there's no way to actually contact the practice directly--will make you a virtual appointment for an in-person medical procedure. If you don't immediately catch THEIR mistake, you'll find that you've waited well over a month for absolutely nothing. And, of course, the next available appointment isn't for another month. It's another classic tale of arrogant doctors, incompetent "customer service" representatives, inefficient systems, and an overall lack of basic respect for paying customers.

I went in for what should have been a routine skin check and left with a large wound on my arm that did not heal normally. It bled for nearly three weeks and ultimately left a noticeable scar that has made me self-conscious about wearing short sleeves. Thankfully the biopsy came back benign, which I’m grateful for, but the experience and outcome were extremely upsetting. The procedure felt overly aggressive for what was supposed to be a simple check, and the healing process was far worse than expected. I would strongly recommend going anywhere else.
