Agho Clinic

Not even worth a star!!!
This was the absolute worst expierence I ever received in my whole life. I went in to this doctors office at 10:30 and my appt was at 11:15 so I was early! I didn’t see the doctor until 1:15 seriously. Ugh. So I was in a serious amount of pin due to the fact I have cyst. Ok so I tell the doctor that I need my prescriptions refilled one for pain meds and another for infections he was so rude and arrogant. He said no. Ok so I walked out of his nasty smelly office and the receptionist goes and tells this doctor (if that’s what u want to call him) that I was talking about him (I really wasn’t) so needless to say I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS GOD FORSAKEN PLACE. AND I ADVISE YALL NEVER TO GO THERE EITHER

Not even worth this one star.
I don’t even know where to start. I went to the Bronx office in the Metropolitan Oval in Parkchester.
I’ve grown up seeing Dr. Peter Agho HIMSELF. Dr. Agho is a GREAT DOCTOR but once he started hiring people and branching off and not attending to his patients personally it became a problem .
I went there to get some bloodwork done and had to have a form filled out and needed it in like 3 days. They said it would take a week (I never heard of that) so I said fine I’ll wait that week. The week comes and I call to make sure the results are there the lady tells me over the phone that I can come in and get it and everything would be ready. When I get there (mind you I walked there with my 9m old son) she said that I can get the paperwork but I can’t get the form filled out because I would have to make an appointment to see the physician assistant just so he can LITERALLY just sign his name to the paper so I just decided to take my results as is and switch my doctor.
They are so unprofessional .
Another time I went I said I want a proof of pregnancy I just need a pregnancy test the nurse lied to me and said that they don’t do urine pregnancy test only blood test because with the blood tests I would know how far along I was. LIES! I went to my gynecologist and found out she LIED and wasted my time
DONT GO HERE. This place sucks !

Thorough examination and listens to all your concerns. I am very happy with my care and treatment here. So much so, that my entire family is now patients here… including my mom.

I had a horrible experience with this clinic. My initial visit was okay. I was seen by a physician’s assistant rather than an MD. I don’t have a big problem with this, but I think I should have been informed in advance. I was told that it was the patient’s responsibility to call for test results (huh?), so I called in a week. I was told I had to come in. When I did, I was given the option of just getting a print out of my results or making an appointment to see a «doctor». I was getting frustrated so I just asked for my results. Several tests were out of range, including something that had been serious problem in the past. I’m sorry to say I freaked out. I demanded to see the PA. They asked me to sign some papers. I refused because I didn’t think I should be charged for a new appointment. At this point I was so upset I was crying. They basically forced a pen into my hand and a clipboard in my face. I signed because I wanted an explanation for my test results and to get out of there. I ended up with three prescriptions. If I had not called, would they have just let my test results collect dust? I’m reporting them to my insurance company to make sure they are not charging for double appointments and/​or a fee for an MD when no MD is present. Stay away.

This facility refuses to provide it’s patients medical records, necessary reversals, and is scamming patients for money by coding inappropriately and forcing patients to pay for a medical visit when all they want is to confirm their tests results are negative. Highly unethical and definite malpractice occurring.

Worst ever. I went for a check up last year and never saw a doctor. The doctor wasn’t even on the premises. I only saw his assistant but the entire staff referred to him as a physician; what a fraud.
Wasn’t feeling well this week and in a bind I called the office assuming that my experience was a one off. They relocated to Astoria so I made an appointment. I arrived at the office 25 minutes early for my 1 pm appointment because the secretary told me it was not busy. She was correct; there were only three people including me who were in the office for the entire time that I was there. I got called in 65 minutes after I arrived and that was only to do my vitals. I didn’t see the physician’s assistant until 40 minutes after that. Again, no Doctor was there.
I made the appointment because I couldn’t breathe. The PA said he saw no need to do a chest X-​ray and told me to go home and take Tylenol. I went to see a real professional the following day who did a battery of tests and sent me to a cardiologist who confirmed that I had pleurisy, which is inflammation of tissue around the heart, and who prescribed anti-​inflammatory meds.
DON’T GO SEE THESE PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY ARE LOCATED.

I’m writing this review on behalf of my elderly father. Now my father and I have been coming here for years. We have trusted Dr. Agho with our medical care and we thought he was the right person. However, my father went to an appointment this week to receive a blood pressure prescription that was urgently needed. Now, the receptionist was very rude telling my father that he had a bill and couldnt be seen until he paid an $ 800 bill. My father tried to tell them that the insurance company is sending a letter to pay for the bill amount. However, they disregarded what he said AND DENIED HIM ANY CARE OR ASSISTANCE AFTER HE WAITED AN HOUR. I’m not sure, but if someone needs medical care they should be seen whether they could pay at that moment or not the bill will be sent later. NO ONE SHOULD BE DENIED ASSISTANCE. Dr. Agho is extremely unprofessional and his staff. All my father needed was a prescription any cost should be billed afterwards. USELESS STAFF!

Avoid this clinic! I’ve taken my children to this clinic and every time we’ve had an appointment, Dr. Agho is never there. We were always attended to by the physician assistant, but no doctor. The office is also very outdated. Worst of all, the customer service is horrendous. When I requested my children’s files to transfer them to a different doctor, the woman at the front desk overcharged me by printing duplicate pages (they charge per page). When I asked her to correct it and issue me a refund, she became so rude and disrespectful by refusing to help me. She completely ignored me after I pointed our her mistake and did not know how to issue the refund. Meanwhile, there was no one else waiting to be assisted. She wouldn’t even give me her name when I asked for it, probably because she knew I would file a complaint. I hope this business is aware of the awful customer service being provided by their office, which is causing them to loss patients!

I was due for my yearly check-​up, so I began the search for a new doctor in my area. Dr. Agho was nearby and was a graduate of NYU, so I decided to try him out.
I was a little worried at first, since the building was kind of old (read skeezy), but immediately had those fears laid to rest by the fantastic staff. The nurse that helped me was extremely friendly and had a great sense of humor. She and I were joking around the whole time.
The Amazing: The staff. Awesome! I had blood drawn and it was bar far the best experience I have ever had (painless, got the vein on the 1^st try). Also, they had some impressive gadgetry that tested lung health, instant EKG reading, temple thermometer, and four point circulatory test. It was great.
The Average: Dr. Agho seems like a nice man, but I am still undecided if I want him to be my primary care provider. He was knowledgeable, but not overly friendly. He may just be having an off day, though. His staff, however, will be the main reason I come back again.
The Horrid: The shared bathroom down the hall was filthy, smelled horrible, and seemed like a great set for a «Saw» movie.
