Brooklyn Medical Services 446 McDonald Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

"Love Dr. Tipu! His staff the entire team is wonderful too. There is a 2 hour wait pretty much every time though, even with appointments, so bring a book or something to do while you wait. The place is almost always packed. Dr. Malick is awesome too. Dr. Tipu is a very warm funny person and makes excellent judgement calls on when to dismiss minor symptoms, when to refer you to a specialist, when to order certain tests, etc. I feel like I’m in good hands plus his extroverted personality makes visits pleasant. He has great energy and it’s contagious. The physical space is a bit unconventional, you may find yourself getting a blood test by a kitchen sink, it feels like somebody’s house. I don’t mind, everyone has been professional and the processes have been efficient."

"I used to go here when Dr. Jack Fathia used to work here. He is a good doctor and value your time. He always provided quality service to me. I wish he was still around at this location. Dr. Malik is a good doctor as well, very professional and he takes his time seeing his patient. You will always find this crowded. I wish they call back in case you missed an appointment. Also be prepare to wait for an hour before you will be seen regardless of given appointment."

"While there is generally an excessive wait at this office I keep going back after more than 10 years. Dr Tipu is by far the best doctor I’ve ever dealt with. If it weren’t for him I probably wouldn’t be around anymore. My podiatrist and cardiologist are both here as well making things very convenient. The staff are helpful and do their best to keep up with a HUGE workload. If you can deal with waiting a bit you will be well taken care of."

"While I appreciate the doctors here and love my doctor, if you value your time at all, look elsewhere. Had a 5:30 PM appointment just to go over blood results I took from a prior appointment, and it took over 2 hours to see the doctor. As I’m writing this it’s 7:54 PM and I have yet to see my doctor. All of this just to go over some paperwork. My last visit also endured a 2+ hour wait, but I thought it was just a one off. Doesn’t seem to be the case. Even though I truly appreciate my doctor, I can’t justify wasting so much time to be seen for such little tasks. Appointments here mean nothing it seems. The receptionists probably close their eyes, spin 3 times, and point at a number on the clock to book your appointment."

"Unfortunately my daughters pediatrician uses this office and it’s the worst. They are constantly double booking and when I call to schedule an appointment I am either left on hold or hung up on because my 1 year old was screaming in the background. Will likely be looking into a different provider even though I love the pediatrician and his personal staff."
