Montefiore Medical Center

The doctor (Julio) and all the staff were fantastic. Very smooth process without having to fill out forms or show insurance that I already submitted ahead of time which seems to be the case at every other doctor. Everything was made very easy and it was efficient without feeling rushed. Highly recommended.

Listen to people who say this is akin to a scam. This is as close to fraud as I've seen that they're able to run out of this office. I am a perfectly healthy person who came in here for an in-network yearly checkup. They took my heart rate, my blood pressure, and did some minor blood work. That short visit netted me a bill >$1,250. This is a primary care physician. I've seen specialists in NYC who have done far more work for a fraction of that. On top of that, they scared me into more unnecessary tests to fill their pockets. I have a slow heart rate. I have always had a slow heart rate. Every doctor notices it. I'm an athlete. I have been since I was young. I told them all of this. The doctor here, however, called me after my visit and said that I needed to see a cardiologist right away and they booked me an immediate visit with them where it would usually take significantly longer. I told them my trepidation at doing so and pushed back against that, but they told me essentially that I should be "better safe than sorry." So, what was the outcome? I'm perfectly fine. My heart rate is just slow. Just as it has always been. But now I've got multiple bills rolling in from them and from the cardiologist as well for around $1,000 a pop each. So now I'm at least $4,000 into this for absolutely nothing being wrong with me. For an in-network yearly checkup where all they primarily did was take my heart rate, my blood pressure, and did some minor blood work. It is insane. And they get away with it because no one calls them out on it. Do not go here. I always wonder if the few one-star or two-star reviews are the fault of the patient. In this case that's partly true: my fault was listening to these doctors and being taken for a ride by hucksters. Both encouraged me to come back in for follow ups, respectively. Needless to say, once I caught wind of what was happening after the bills started rolling in, I am not going back in for follow ups. There is no need to. They are trying to take in more and more money from the open cash spigot before it's turned off. I'm turning it off.
