Margolis Sarah Kim MD

I started coming here in March for allergy testing followed by subsequent shots and have always been pleased with my treatment here. Dr. Margolis and her staff have always been professional and polite since my first visit. The wait time is always minimal and I get my shots without any issues. I would gladly recommend that others see Dr. Margolis.

Had an appointment today with Dr. Margolis for allergy testing, and I thought she was great, as were the other members of her team. I was nervous due to the other review, but my nerves were unfounded. I got in EARLY — 5 minutes before my scheduled appointment. When does that ever happen? The nurse/​receptionist was very jovial and friendly — big guy with a goatee. He made little jokes and conversation with me throughout the skin pricking business — which helped a lot. Dr. Margolis herself was nice and spent plenty of time with me. She even took time to plug in a space heater to make sure I was warm enough since I would only be wearing a gown during the testing. She also asked me about myself and made friendly conversation. Very nice personality.
Overall, I am really glad my doctor referred me to Dr. Margolis. It’s too bad the other person had a bad experience, but it may have just been an «off» day in the office. I had a great experience!

My experience with Dr. Margolis has been excellent. I switched from one of the city’s leading allergists to Dr. Margolis after spending hours in the waiting room for almost every appointment. I am glad that I did. Dr. Margolis’s care has been excellent. I have never had a problem with the staff (they have ALL been friendly and helpful). My husband (who also used to go to the other allergist I did) has changed to Dr. Margolis. He has received the same excellent care.

I had a Noon appointment today with Dr. Margolis as an initial allergy consultation. When I made the appointment I was less than happy with the tone of the receptionist, she was rude. I got off the phone and second-​thought the appointment, but just wrote this off as someone having a bad day. I know that working with the public can be taxing, so I just looked forward to a good in-​office experience. When I arrived at 11:45am this morning, as instructed, to fill out paperwork that good experience hope when down the toilet.
When I arrived no one was at the desk so I signed in on the clipboard and sat down. I finally noticed one receptionist came back to answer a phone call and when the second lady came to the desk, I went to let her know I was there. She told me rudely «you can wait a minute» and by the time they gave me the new patient paperwork it was already Noon. The fact that I was on a tight schedule for this appointment, being that I was on my lunch break, I was a little antsy to get in front of the doctor and didn’t appreciate the 15 minute waste of time.
Finally calling my name, I paid my copay and listened to the 2 receptionists/​nurses bicker about something — the one finally saying loudly that it was my fault for not telling anyone I was there. «You should have told us you were here.» «I did…» then the other chimed in «I told here to wait!» Can you say unprofessional? One of them finally took me back to take height and weight then my blood pressure… she pushed up my sleeve saw my tattoo and make a shocked noise. Her asking me if I was «clearheaded» and the assessment that it looked like a «drunk tattoo» put me off completely. She went on to explain that her son used to do drugs and had pot tattoos. Hi! I’m dressed very nicely, put on my paperwork the name and address of my very big and influential local employer and have been nothing but pleasant to you. Just because I have a tattoo under the sleeve of my Ralph Lauren shirt does not mean I’m on drugs or do drugs. Thank. You.
After the blood pressure taking, I was left to sit in an examination room that was boiling hot — the A/​C wasn’t working well in the office. And after waiting until 12:25pm, feeling insulted and hot to the point that my entire face was red, I left.
I went to the front desk, fibbed to the offending receptionist/​nurse that I had a work emergency and needed to leave. After getting my copay refunded I left that office with no intention of ever returning. I got dirty looks and questioning from the 2 rude ladies at the desk upon my leaving, which just sealed things in my mind that I was right to leave.
No, I never got to actually see Dr. Margolis but if her office staff are that rude to patients then that has to be a reflection on the doctor, in my opinion. DO NOT GO TO DR. MARGOLIS! Healthcare costs are expensive and I refuse to pay money and be treated rudely when it comes to my health and wellness.
