University-Albany Health Center

""MD" Joseph Galgana is really rude and honestly doesn't show to care about his patients. I have had 4 "appointments" with him and the last one lasted 55 seg."

"Had to go for an urgent medical concern the day after I arrived on campus. Called at 9am on a Tuesday and they gave me an appointment for 10:20am the same day. Got there at 10:10 and I was talking to a nurse by 10:15. I was very nervous because it was a stressful move-in week but they were able to take care of my issue and I was done by 11."

"Will never forget how horrible Doris from the women’s health center was. Rude, made jokes and was unprofessional. And I’m not the only person who has stories about her! I graduated four years ago and still remember how horrible it was each time I saw her."

"Made an appointment and was still turned away because I tried to check in 5 minutes late. I am having intense stomach and back pains, nausea and can't walk that well which is why I was late. I explained to the lady at the check in desk and to the appointment nurse, and they said the best they can do is give me a list of medications and tell me to go to urgent care. What is the point of making an appointment just to be turned away BECAUSE OF YOUR AILMENT. The UAlbany Health Center needs to rethink how they treat their patients because I am now being forced to go to the hospital and spend money that I dont have on a hospital bill that I can't afford."

"I gave 1 star because or else I can't post the review but I honestly DO NOT want to give any stars to this place. My daughter was throwing up sick, crying and the girl who BTW took a while to greet her just told her she can't be seen that she needs an appointment. She was rude and dismissive. What is the purpose of this place if a student is sick and can't even be seen. Who can possibly have the right mind set to go in the internet and read about their "appointment" policies and make an appointment when they wake up so sick throwing up. I think they need to reconsider how they do services and add walk-ins especially for these students who most of them are trying to take care of themselves on their own when they are sick. The supervisors or directors of this place need to train their staff to be more compassionate, kind and have a better bedside manner to patients. Is it that difficult to be nice and direct the students in a kind and polite way as to where they should go, since they can't give them "Student health service" especially when they are sick. Oh no, that will be too much effort. That's why the world gets worse and worse because nobody wants to be nice to anyone lately. I had to direct my child from miles and miles away to go to an Urgent Care I found in the internet located in the same building. Great place BTW. They took care of my daughter so well. Perhaps the Student Health Center needs to be trained by the Urgent Care on how to take care of patients. Simply the worst experience! So very disappointed at the so called "Student Health Center" the University offers to the students. What a waste of space and services!"
