Kouroupos Emanuel L MD

I was seen twice by Dr. Kouroupos in September 2015 and total of time he spent with me in both times, it wasn’t more than 10 minutes!!! My first appointment he was rushing so much, I felt so bad that I had to be rushing from the chair to the exam table and back to the chair, then I was sent home to take fiber and to do an ultrasound… well at least I was able to get a exam request. I thought I would have to pay only $ 50 for specialist copay but NOOOO, I had to pay $ 125 for deductible… and he only saw me for 5 minutes !!! I called the insurance and they said was right for him to charge me $ 125…
Well, 2 weeks after I went back for the exam results and because I still had symptoms, and again he saw me for like 5 minutes and rushed through the whole appointment, even when he was taking my vitals and asked me to breathe faster. I was so outrageous, I never had such bad experience with a doctor before. I was sent home with heartburn medication that didn’t help me at all!!!
After a few weeks I got another charge from him for this second visit (that was related to the first one) amount of $ 131.79!!! So this doctor made a total of $ 256,79 plus what he charged from the insurance and gave me a misdiagnose and for only 10 minutes total of his time!!! I wish I could give him NO star at all!
Well, the end of my story, I ended up going to a private doctor in Manhattan that charged me only $ 100 for 30 minutes, check all my vitals, stomach and sent me home with a medication that made me feel better in the same day.
I thought I would be saving money going through a doctor from my Insurance list, but after this experience I will be paying privately for my doctors for now on…

Never again will I go to this doctor!
I am giving him two stars for accepting me as an emergency. First of all, his front desk staff need an attitude and reality check. It doesn’t take much to smile and say hello. When I walked in and approached the front desk, there were two females that ignored me for a good minute. After waiting an hour (which I didn’t mind since I was an emergency), I was finally greeted by the doctor with a sour puss face and a dry hello. He looked like he came out of the 60s wearing jean like scrubs… Anywhoots… I had taken my friend’s advice and I wrote down all the symptoms and activities. I showed the doctor the paper and he just put it aside without glancing at it. He never did tell me what I have, he just gave me sample meds (which I never took) and told me to watch my diet. Gee, thanks Captain obvious.
Never again will I come here. I would rather be in pain than see a horrible doctor like him.
