Weird setting, cold, doctor is rude and unbothered. I would never set foot in this office again. It’s completely crazy that someone would choose to see this unhelpful, unbothered, snarky doctor. Wouldn’t even help me with my issue. Completely disregarded everything I said. Like wow. The Hispanic girl in the front is nice. The other woman is completely rude. Disgusting, unhelpful place!

The most incompetent dr I have ever experienced in my life. Prescriptions not followed thru. Forgotten prescriptions, no one in the office to assist prescription mistakes, no access to the dr to express my concerns… 6 days before they rectified their mistake. Dangerously incompetent

My experience with Dr. Podhorodecki was very positive in every possible way. She listened to what my issues were, examined me and recommended physical therapy for rehabilitation. Her diagnosis and recommendations were spot on! My condition has significantly improved and become more manageable thanks, in large part, to "Dr. P" I would and have strongly recommended her to anyone needing the services of a Doctor of Physical Medicine

What a disgraceful doctor if you can even be called one!

I had a recent appointment here that exemplified everything wrong with our inferior healthcare system. I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis for almost two years and now a whole host of other musculoskeletal issues. I've been to multiple practitioners to try and deal with the foot. I finally decide to go to a sports medicine doctor thinking--crazy me--that a sports med doctor might have the education, experience and intuition to think big picture, to think about the whole body and wonder why a common problem isn't responding to the traditional modalities in a healthy patient. I was asked some questions by a nurse. Then a doctor looked at my foot briefly and asked me a few more questions. Then Dr Podhorodecki came in with some info that she printed off the internet about plantar fasciitis and told me to make an appointment with a physical therapist. I had to stifle my laughter. Oh, the internet? Physical therapy?? Why hadn't I thought of that?? And this is the kind of care that $650/month in insurance gets us in NY/the US. This is the third horrible experience I've had with Northwell. The first was when they canceled my surgery the morning of (it had been scheduled for two months) because they forgot to make sure the surgical hospital took my insurance. Spoiler: they didn't. The second was when they billed me $300 plus for a covid test that was suppose to be free. Do not go to this circus of a healthcare system. PS I went to Sundala Wellness in Nyack NY two days ago about my plantar fasciitis--she treats the NY Ballet dancers--and after one appointment of dry needling, infrared heat lamps, manual therapy and a lengthy chat about the mechanics of my body, my foot is 90% pain free. And I had to pay $200 cash because my insurance won't pay for it. Money well spent. I had a recent appointment here that exemplified everything wrong with our inferior healthcare system.

After I waited a long time (not cool during a pandemic), she spent so little time with me. She was dismissive and disrespectful. Told me one of my symptoms was psychosomatic, which it’s not. Didn’t let me talk about what I’ve been experiencing. Would not recommend her to anybody and will not go back to her.

Meeting her took about 4 minutes (full disclosure, I was referred incorrectly by my physician). None the less, she specializes in neuromuscular medicine, and she was suspicious I had neuropathy, so it wasn't something completely left field. She printed out some information, and I had two questions, which I had to ask publicly because she rushed me out to the reception area. She was very impatient about it. When asking the second, the medical assistant interrupted and Dr said "time was running out and she had already taken 5 minutes of my appointment to print all this useful information" with a nasty "I went the extra mile for you" attitude. I think my time with her took 8 minutes total. Doctor is disrespectful and extremely rushed. Also, staff started the process for a test, that I had taken, had faxed and called to confirm a day prior, and reconfirmed as soon as I arrived but I still was going to get tested for it. Worst Dr. experience I've had.

I would most definitely recommend the Dr. Especially for anyone searching for answers in this field of medicine. I had an EMG test.

She is not only an excellent doctor but a caring and empathetic doctor ready to help. Unfortunately they are not always hand in hand.

Dr Podhorodecki is a consummate doctor in every way. She is professional, warm, a master at explaining key points about your treatment, compassionate, and excellent in her medical skills. She has a staff that is stellar in terms of patient service. I absolutely recommend her to anyone with pain issues!

(Translated by Google) She helped me to my feet. (Original) Pomogła mi stanąć na nogi.
