I brought a needle-phobic child to Shalom for her vaccine appointment, and she was treated with such gentle, patient compassion by the staff. We are grateful for their kindness and care. Even my kid was appreciative!

This review is only based on my experience here of getting a COVID vaccine. They are located right off 56th street and Lafayette and was the closed location to get my booster shot. I had an appointment at 8:10, and the check in process was smooth and efficient. There were several people waiting too so I still waited about 30 minutes there to be called. So if you have an appointment here you still should expect to wait. Once I got called it was very quick. This building was very clean and staff were professional.

This health care center is terrible!!!!! They dont call you with your results or anything, you have to call them. Then they dont send your medication on time!!! You have to call them about that also. I personally dont mind calling them back, but if you tell me we are going to call you in 2 business days and it becomes 4 business day its a problem. Its very unprofessional!!

Its impossible to get through to them. After on hold for almost 30 minutes youll get hung up on only to have to call back and wait another 30 min. Its happened every single time. The staff that checks you in are all super nice & sweet. However, the doctors seem rushed and never address your concerns.
