My visit with Nurse Tanisha today was fantastic. She was extremely patient, comforting and very resourceful. She tried her best to address all my questions even though it may have been a lot but she made me feel welcomed and even help alleviate my stress before and after my exam. I recommend anyone who wants to have a visit to come to Fort Greene PHS clinic and ask for Nurse Tanisha. Thank you again PHS for having such a Gem work within your clinic and provide care to the community.

Where do I begin? Let’s start with when I first discovered this place via google. I was in search of a women’s health clinic in my area and discovered this gem. From the moment I scheduled an appointment I felt so welcome by Ms.Soto. She was extremely attentive, a good listener and very helpful. I arrived to my appointment and was greeted with open arms. Check in was smooth, wait time was quick and the medical assistants were excellent. I felt at home as if I known these individuals forever. Ms. Tanisha is truly heaven sent. Her approach was gentle, her communication was superb and you can tell that she genuinely loves what she does. The doctor I seen was phenomenal. She gave me her undivided attention and provided me with information I needed and provided a solution. She’s the best! I’m glad to say I found my medical clinic. Thank you all for your help and assistance. You guys are appreciated! Keep making a difference. Us women need it.

Administrative assistance begins with a smile and from there everything goes very well.  The medical staff is excellent, everyone cares that the patient is well, and they do the necessary exams. The truth is that the service is wonderful.

Good morning! I would love to give a BIG thanks to Antonine , Tanisha , Ms.Soto & Dr.Lockley for being very helpful & kind . I also want to thank them for making me super comfortable while i was there . Everything was so quick & easy . They made sure i got everything that i needed before I left . Highly recommend coming back!! Love them.

Dr.Lockley is very professional and sweet. Love having access to a great Black woman gyno.

This place is the absolute worst. If you are already a patient good luck to you. If you've never been do not go. These people are horrible with appointments they do not communicate with each other and they will waste your time and not care. The worst part is they won't even follow up with you. My pregnant girlfriend just came out of the ER and we call them nonstop for 3 days to make an appointment this was 6 months ago and we're still waiting for a call back great job

Was paired with a Doula during the beginning of Covid-19 for virtual support it was my first pregnancy and my doula definitely helped me stay mentally strong. Gave birth all natural with no medication at 41 weeks! Thank you CWH!

I used to come here years ago to see diabetic doctor and they were helpful until the place got overcrowded, the hours longer. If they schedule appts few at a time the services will go quicker. Takes time to check vitals and by time u see doctor its couple hrs more. I hope things change I would go back.

Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, Manhattan 

This is my first time coming to this clinic. The receptionists on the second floor is very unprofessional. She told me to fill out a form but still asked me sensitive questions loudly over the pixie glass. Then put me in a room because I coughed a little like I have some super infectious disease. The nurses were nice though.
My gf also had a terrible experience with a OBGYN doctor named Dr Mabel Gong. Dr Gong was very rough with her. She was loud and rude. After the checkup my gf experienced light bleeding. I saw reviews complained about her too.
I don’t recommend this clinic. I won’t come back because overall seems unprofessional and chaotic.

throat hurts so bad there is a blisters in my throat and they don’t let me in there was no response from you tried explaining it to them they won’t say anything except for “it’s tomorrow” and the desk’s attitude is bad

Horrible service. The front desk workers lacks the basic courtesy of assisting patients and seems to have a narrow-minded approach to customer service. They are not willing to help me out in filling out a medical form for my college even when they offer that service.

Furthermore, I've seen my doctor in the span for 5 years for a single problem which is my knee pain. They have not referred me to any place useful or was on top of my issue, therefore leading my joins to develop severely and I have to go to another doctor to see it.

Been a patient here for about 20 years since I was a preteen. I’ve read about fifteen reviews so far and felt the need to write a review, something I rarely spend time writing.

Although I understand many people who spend time write usually have a negative experience to share, which I will share below!  I can give an honest assessment after being a patient here for 20 years.

Positives: I love this community healthcare center. This place is wonderful asset to the community. They really serve the community at large, despite it being a Chinese immigrant patient base, which has its ups and downs. Downsides are working class immigrants who aren’t assimilated to American lifestyle (loud cellphone conversations; patients yelling at front desk staff and vice versa; certain cultural barriers).  Upside: this clinic is truly a community clinic for EVERYONE; all types of insurances are accepted.  Lower income? We accept you! Some income and higher income? We accept you, but you get a co-pay.  Can’t afford to pay? We have a sliding scale!

Checking-in: I am tri-lingual (Cantonese, English, Mandarin). I greet the front ladies in Cantonese as “Yee Yee - “auntie”, I have an appointment with blah blah”. No problem and I’m settled in.

The customer service is great to need improvement. When I was a twenty something with Medicaid, front desk receptionists on the second, third, fourth, fifth floors spent about 10 minutes answering my questions for my health care needs.  They loved chatting and sharing their knowledge with patients. My parents and uncle are all patients of CBWC for about 20 years too.  With some bad apples from front desk people,  overall the dr/patient experience was generally good.

Negative: I once complained that the front desk treat non-Chinese looking patients BETTER.   I’m of Chinese heritage. I’ve seen front desk treat white, black, Hispanic patients with a warm smile and small chat In answering questions.  Me? I was blew off!!!  I once wrote a comment about my experience and dropped it off in the comment box.

Positive OB-GYN experience: routine check ups with Gail Bachman is wonderful. She suggested that I may have PCOS and recommended I get it checked.  The nurse staff is nice too. Some probably can read and write Englishc but not speak fluently. Overall, it doesn’t matter to me very much.

Negative OB-GYN: first floor front desk staff for OB-GYN is a hit or miss. Some women are very miserable on the phone. A simple question like “when should I see a doctor now that im newly pregnant?” Middle aged lady’s response: “I don’t know. Talk to your doctor.” 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’m pregnant with my first.  I was disappointed that Dr. Bauchman doesn’t offer prenatal care. So I saw Lily Wong and a Nurse Practitioner last name Kim. I showed Dr. Lily Wong my pregnancy stick that I’m pregnant and wondering what I should watch out for.  She tells me there is nothing to see, asked me to pee on a stick. I asked if I could see anything, she obliged which was nice of her. Yes, there is nothing to see.  Then, she walked out.  Asked me to come back 8th or 9th week.  I left a compliant and someone at the Admin offfice called me which was NICE of them.  I really appreciate it.

; 5th floor OB-GYN had a super helpful front desk millennial age lady.  I found out that the delivering hospital is Brooklyn Health Center and NONE of the CBWC delivering doctor or nurse practitioners are on call. They work once or twice a month.  I decided to take my prenatal visits to Mt Sinai which has both good and bad bedside manner drs.

Very bad experience! I had an appointment at 1 pm. I arrived at the clinic at 12:50 pm. I told someone at the reception and paid my copay. He told me to wait so I waited. Nobody ever called me in until 1:40 pm. Everyone around me went in and even people behind me. So I went up and asked another lady (the guy I talked to went out). The lady was surprised that no one ever checked me in so the doctor didn’t even know I was there. I can’t believe that I waited for one hour for nothing! Later she sent me in and I had to wait for the doctor for another 20 minutes and came out after 2 pm.

Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, Queens

Nice staffs but the facilities were being neglected. Looking at the chairs and the window makes me wonder. If they don’t make an effort to take care of the place they work everyday, how much care they could be spending into caring for the patients?

I left work early today because I had an appt at 2:30 and was told to come in for FIRST TIME PATIENT paperwork at 2:00. I stayed on schedule and signed in at the appointed time of 2:00. Despite another patient signing in alongside me, she received attention right away.
Even being on time and taking their advice, I waited for more than 10 minutes before receiving any acknowledgement regarding the next steps. It got to the point where I had to go up to the desk by myself to ask for help. To my shock, an older Cantonese-speaking woman working at the front desk was rather dismissive, yelling "一个一个来" ("one by one") without even pausing to check the sign-in list or adequately address my concerns. There were literally only two names on the sign-in sheet, the patient before me and mine.
Fortunately, the other younger lady at the front desk noticed my situation and immediately helped. Although her professionalism was appreciated, the older lady's initial neglect, especially given the few sign-ins, frustrated me and made me feel undervalued.

Don’t do blood draw there. I went to new building by the skyview to do physical examination.The intern nurses made Four times attempts to puncture my arm and Did not get the vein. I do understand we should give them a chance to practice when I know they are interns. After I was watching the needle get in and out my arm four times. I shocked and stop them. That is shouldn’t happen in a real human.

First time patient and scheduling an appointment was seamless. The front desk was informative and went over all the paperwork. I didn't have to wait long for my scheduled appointment. Dr. Ying Zhuo was professional and knowledgeable. She made sure I was comfortable during my visit. The nurses were welcoming as well. Follow up was quick and the office was very responsive. Thank you to Dr. Zhuo and Charles B. Wang Community Health Center

This is an excellent health center facility. As a new patient, I was able to schedule an appointment over the phone for intake with a specialist. Intake was fast, and an appointment was scheduled quite sooner than I expected. Upon arrival at the OB/GYN front desk on the 2nd floor, I had to present my insurance and ID, as well as complete intake forms with paper and on a tablet. The front desk lady was able to go over everything I was filling out and signing, including the pre-mental health screening and HIPAA forms.

The intake nurse and Dr. Christine Kim were phenomenal! They made me feel welcomed and comfortable, and they treated me with care so that I can get the appropriate screenings and exams done. I really appreciate the way Dr. Kim explained every procedure and was very patient with me (I had a horrible & traumatic experience with another OB/GYN professional in another clinic not affiliated with Charles B. Wang Center). Thank you Dr. Kim and the OB/GYN staff!

This center also has other services such as mental health, urology, internal medicine, and much more. I am not a local to Flushing, but I am willing to make the trip so that I can be treated here for my medical needs all-in-one. They also have an online portal to keep track of your visits, request appointments or message health professionals, and monitor your medications for refill requests. Thank you Charles B. Wang Community Heath Center!

Appointment was made for in person. Upon arrival, we were told appointment was in 2 weeks & virtual. Unacceptable. Friend was given a script that made her pace. Reaching out to her doctor, not hearing back for days. Sometimes only receiving a one word response. If you've had luck with this clinic, that's great. I will not be recommending this clinic.

To be honest I don’t understand why so many people give 1 start. I have my pcp doctor there and for me they are really fast and efficient. The made for me hear test blood test and Pap smear the same day I asked them without make another appointment and I get the results in 2-3 days. The doctors are really nice and friendly but maybe nurses are kinda rude same as receptionist but for me it’s not really
Important it’s normal in this city people have this behavior but doctors are really nice and friendly. The place is really clean and beautiful. I have the app and I really like the way they take control of everything and how easy is to make an appointment receptionist sucks as giving you appointments you can just go to the app and make the appointment earlier. Receptionist for me are useless but still I like to go there and the end I’m going there for doctors no for receptionist.

Abortion services are terrible. They don’t give the option of sedation. They don’t give you a small snack before or after hand. You just clean your self up with a doggy pad and go about your day. There was no follow up aftercare but a telegraph call after 2 weeks asking how was the cramping and flow afterwards. No medication was prescribed to me. Not antibiotics or pain medication. They gave me a few boxes of Plan B after the procedure. It was terrible. Don’t get your abortion here.

On 2 occasions I've reached out to receive services from them.
On the 1st occasion in 2021 I was set up with an appointment with a social worker. I spoke to the SW for an hour and was then told I would be put on a 6 month long wait list to see someone. I never heard back.

I reached out again yesterday and was told someone would call me by Monday to make an appointment. Today I was called to be told they did not have any availability at all.

That a mental health institution can do these thing is abhorrent. They are causing damage to those that are seeking help with their mental health. It is already hard enough to admit you need help, to be treated like this is unacceptable.

I spoke to a Program Director and while they were willing to apologize, they took no responsibility for the actions of their organization.

I was extremely frustrated by my experience with the Institute for Family Health. I was helping a refugee family get help, but 1. promised phone calls with social workers never happened, 2. you can't schedule an appointment within any useful timeframe, 3. we waited nearly two hours for an appointment, 4. we weren't told a child needed more immunizations for school, and 5. our phone calls for school forms weren't answered. Individuals were pleasant but didn't communicate with each other.  I watched other patiences being told that their appointments didn't exist or were actually online, even though the patients had come in person. It was a stressful and difficult process and I wish we'd never gone there. People deserve better.
