3 reviews for Ninth Street Internal Medicine Associates Ltd
Normally I don't bother writing many bad reviews, but this practice has earned it. Terrible receptionist right off the bat, but that's a minor problem when compared to the Doctors. My wife had an appointment and was left waiting 1.5 hrs for a doctor that didn't even show up. She had to run back to work and make up the time for it.
Annoying.
I had been going to this doc to keep checking up on my high blood pressure, for about a year. Then I got some sort of bronchial infection and the doctor proscribed me an inhaler. Inhalers make your heart spike with effort and I was feeling chest pains for days till I figured out what was causing the problem.
Dangerously annoying.
When i called the doctor with my suspicions all I could get was the nurse assistant. The doctor wouldn't even come to the phone for the emergency. When I pointed this out, they told me to go to the hospital, didn't even want to talk about the possibility that all i had to do was stop taking the inhaler.
Completely Pissed.
My wife and I will never, ever, use this practice again. Quite frankly, the level of care from the Philadelphia health care industry sucks, on the whole. If you find a good doctor, hold on to them. Me, I'm off to hunt for a new family doctor again.
Used to LOVEEEEEEEEE this practice. Had the same doctor for 8 years and then POOF! GONE! No warning and no options. I had seen other doctors in the practice and requested one of them....hahahaha...that was a joke. They ignored me and kept spewing out this prerecorded speech...you can see blah, blah, blah or blah blah,....but I, wanna see.... and again you can see blah, blah, blah or blah blah. BOOOOO! I left the practice. You think they would do everything they could to make the transition less stressful...I wanted to reach through that phone and well...WOOSAAA! That's all I'm gonna say.
The worst doctor I've met here berated me, did nothing to help me, betrayed my trust and mislead me.
I later saw a nurse practitioner who seemed concerned and pleasant, but didn't listen to me or her stethoscope when I described my symptoms which had clearly evolved into those of pneumonia. I mean, it was text book clear! I probably lost an extra two weeks of work because she didn't prescribe what I needed at the time.
The best doctor I have seen here is so overtaxed, one can easily get lost in the shuffle. He had me get a cat scan done to determine whether or not I had a lung tumor, and I called after the customary couple of work days for an answer. One does want an answer about such things. I called every day for a week, and was assured every day that my doctor would call me back before closing with the results. Nobody in the office could find the results all week, or be bothered to contact me.
