Albany Medical Center Family Practice Group

I’ve been going here for years. I’ve had some great doctors, most of whom were residents and have now gone.
What’s great about this place is they have early-​morning walk-​in hours, making it perfect for working stiffs like me who don’t want to take off work for a doctor’s appointment. They’re also really good about fitting me in for an appointment quickly.
They’re also respectful and understanding. This place is affiliated with Albany Medical College, so they often have student observers. However, they’re very good about not forcing that on you if you’re not comfortable with it. For instance, when they asked me if a male student could observe my last gynecological exam, I wasn’t having it. And that was fine.

this is Actually called AMC: ‘Pediatric Group’ or The Children’s Hospital. It used to be located inside albany med many years ago. we have been going here since kenz was little and we simply love her doctor. dr. clarke is a Wonderful doctor and i would recommend her to anyone who really wants their child to have a pediatrician that cares about Them. she knows kenz. and she asks questions in a way that allow a kid to be themselves and not feel that they are being judged or looked at oddly. (oh, she is young and sweet too)
of course we have had other doctors as well when we have come in for illness etc. and they are great as well.
the people that check you in/​check you out are always very friendly and helpful and Fast (sooooo important when you are in having an office visit). here is an example: today when we were getting ready to leave for her 9:20 appt for her yearly exam, we started out the door. and i reached for my keys… only to realize that yesterday i had tossed them to kenz to let herself in while robert and rox and i were chatting. she couldn’t due to the humidity so rox went and let her in. and kept the keys. totally my fault for not asking for them back. anyway, we had to walk to the place (conveniently located nearby). i called to say that we were on our way but now were going to be late as the 5 minutes it would have taken us to drive had been used up in frantic searching for keys then calls to rox etc. they actually processed our paperwork while i was on the phone counting on us being there soon due to our location while walking. how freakin nice is that?
so, besides those two elements, the nurses are always very nice and friendly and joke around with kenz. the waiting room is bright with windows, lots of seats, a tv with movies usually playing, a large table with kiddie size seats and some other interactive toys.
if you are not in Love with your pediatrician. change it. and go here.
