Upstate OB/Gyn Associates PC

Every year, right around my annual, I am off birth control for anywhere between 2 weeks to a month because this office is so slow at refilling prescriptions. Also super long waiting room wait time, wait time + appointment takes close to two hours.

I have always had a very good experience with any doctor or PA I have seen at this practice. Always professional. Of course, I miss my original doctor who delivered 3 of my children, Dr. Jonathan Schwartz. What a good person and kind doctor.

Just called to set up an appointment as a new patient — receptionist’s response was to sigh exasperatedly and say «oh my god this is like the third one.» My response was to say «nevermind» and hangup.

Only two, small cons to speak of: 1. One time, for a Gardasil shot, I was kept waiting almost an hour in the waiting room, and almost a half hour once I got into the actual examination room. 2. Friday is only a half-​day here, making scheduling a little difficult, especially given how far in advance annuals have to be booked in the first place.
Pros: Everything else! Really great place to be — lots of informative magazines and other literature in the waiting room. Very cooperative on the phone and in person, and they have Dr. Schwartz. [ I’ve heard good things about the other practicioners as well, but that’s second-​hand and thus inadmissable. ;o) ] Everyone is very friendly and professional, and there is an air of respect for the patients and the patients’ privacy that is very comforting. It really impresses me when doctors care enough to listen to and answer one’s questions. One time, due to an error on my part, I needed my records faxed over to my university’s student health center to get a prescription refilled sooner than I’d anticipated, and not only did Upstate OB/​Gyn take care of the faxing, I got a follow-​up phone call to make sure I’d gotten my prescription on time.
