Dr. Pyone Maung

One of the most positive medical experiences I've had in NYC. Dr. Maung spent a significant amount of time with me and I did not feel rushed at all. She even took my blood pressure a second time because she realized from the numbers that I must have been nervous the first time. She asked relevant, probative questions about my medical history and has a funny but kind way about her. She is direct, but I appreciate that. There was no language barrier. Highly recommend!

Dr. Maung is a no-nonsense doctor. She was very straightforward with me and didn't jump to write me a script because my bp was elevated one day. She told me to monitor and come back if this it persisted. She was right. It was back to normal the next day. My physical with her took all of 30 minutes so I was able to get to work quickly. She also answers questions online through the WC center in a timely manner which is important to me. This is what I look for in a doctor but may not be for everyone.

I have never felt like I needed to leave a review about a doctor until today. This is the most unprofessional, rude, condescending doctor who lacks listening skills and remorse. She doesn’t want to see patients and thinks everything is COVID and doesn’t want to do any physical exam since she writes everyone off as a COVID case before you even have a chance to say what’s wrong. This is the second time I saw her. The first time she was rude but I took it as she was having a bad day. During that visit, I asked her, if there is any problem with taking the flu shot and the booster and she snapped at me saying “how is she supposed to know”. I wrote that off as a bad day and said, no worries, I won’t go back to her since she isn’t my regular doctor and this is a medical center with other doctors. This time, I went in for a sinus infection and forgot that I made a note to not see her since I was desperate to be seen the same day. The minute she walked in the room, I knew it was going to be bad. She didn’t want to see me, barely wanted to come near me. Asked her about ways to relieve the pressure in my ear and she laughed me off and said she’s not an ear doctor. Told her the allergy medicine I was taking and she got annoyed because I didn’t know the generic name. I asked her about medicine for the infection (prescription or over the counter) and she turns back and ask me, “do you want medicine”. If I could treat myself or know what I should be taking, why would I make an appointment with a doctor? All she cared about was taking a COVID test and telling me I shouldn’t have come in because it could be COVID. I went to checkout and asked to have a note be added to my chart stating not to book future appointments with her and the receptionist didn’t seem surprised by this request. It doesn’t matter if she MIGHT be a good doctor (I personally cannot make that assessment because she seemed horrible to me), bedside manners matter and she lacks it! She shouldn’t be allowed to be on that roster of doctors at this location. She clearly would be happier being strictly a virtual doctor. This experience is making me second guess if I even want to go back to this center.
