I use this office whenever I need to see a doctor quickly. While not technically a walk-in clinic they almost always can accomodate you same day if you have an urgent care problem. To see my regular doctor you have to be bleeding out of your eyeballs or be close to death to get an appointment the same or next day. Real walk in clinics or emergency rooms can have horrible wait times and the co-payments are pretty steep too. So this fills a real need for me. As for the level of care they have a team of PAs that are very good. They can certainly handle most of the situations presented to them and they have the doctor (Accomando) and other near by specialists to rely on in case they are stumped or they encounter something beyond their expertise or experience and they wont hesitate to send you to the emergency room or even call for an ambulance if you are really sick. But I think they can handle 99% of the cases they see with no problems. All in all for non-life threatening urgent or primary care this place is very good. As for ordering additional tests...I would rather be safe than sorry and thankfully I have good insurance and I dont really worry about it. I suspect if you are paying out of your pocket you are more sensitive to this but I am sure they are too. I am going to give them 4 stars for accessiblity and skill for typical complaints. If you have a better doctor but cant see him because you cant schedule an appointment what good is he?

Can not give any credit, which means very BAD. they knew my husband needed diabetes strips but they prescribed " needle" instead of strips for making him another visit of office (co-pay is $40 /once). when this thing was happened, I trusted them, and I tried to make another visit but somehow emergency came up my husband could not make another visit , so I called office let them know that they made wrong prescription and make prescription they refused. I explained them for the emergency but they still refuse. they said that they wont give any prescription until they see him even though they know they gave him WRONG prescription. as a matter of fact they INTENTIONALLY gave us WRONG prescription so, they can make another co- pay and plus. when I look back, they tested unnecessary test for the cost increases. They mentioned about borderline blood test results, in deed they did not check really abnormal blood results until patient asked about. thats how they practice. bottom line is they want make money out of patients pocket maximum as long as system allowed. ethically, morally absolutely unacceptable. They dont do anything except "Refer" the patient to the expert, then why even be bother to stop by them instead directly visit the real DOCTOR? they are not the medical professionals, they are salesmen in scrubs. do not give them what they want until they uncover their real face.

I had the worst experience at this office. I saw the PA named Courtney. I am a very nervous patient and she did nothing to ease my stress. She only talked she did not do an exam and charged me for a DOCTOR visit that was over $200. When the office called me to schedule another appointment I said I would have to wait due to cost and the person on the phone was rude and said that they wouldnt fill my prescriptions unless I came back. I obviously found another office that I am very happy with. I went back to get my records from one visit and they charged me .65 cents per printed page which took the rude receptionist less then a minute to print. Every person I encountered at this office was exceptionally rude, strongly suggest finding a different office!

Accomando and most of his PA staff is knowledgeable and willing to spent time with you. I cant say the same about the receptionists and the medical assistants. You are going to the office because you are not feeling well. So the last thing you want deal with is someones attitude. Also it is hard to get a call back from the office and when you finally get a call its the medical assistant. You dont get to talk to the doctor directly. I was with them for 5 years and finally got frustrated and switched doctors. They made me jump through hoops to get my medical records released to me. I had to pay 65 cents (highest in CT) per page for my hundreds of pages of medical records. I am not sure what good is my medical records to them when I no longer go there.

Im a 65 year old male in genral good health with the ebb and flow of things that come along with getting older. My experiences with Dr. Accomando have been excellent. Dr. A is a thorough, engaging, pragmatic and gifted internist with an office manner that is simultaneously compassionate and reality based. I leave an appointment with Dr. A knowing and understanding the diagnosis, treatment, expectations for how recovery should progress and an open door if / when needed. Dr. As referrals are to people / professionals he respects and who Ive found to be of the same high quality as Dr. A. himself. I highly recommend Dr. Accomando

Best DR ever! Cured a really bad issue with my feet that other doctors, and I want to emphasize plural, worked on unsuccessfully for over a year! Dr. Accomando was kind, patient and cured the problem! He followed up with me, without me asking, to give other tips... The is the best DR ever and I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that is in need of any medical assistance. Five stars! Thank you DR.

I started going there a few years ago when I moved to the area, I see PA Courtney Howard, I have since left the area but continue to see her. She genuinely listens to me and has helped me through so much.

Doctor was nice, but not too helpful though. Too quick and want to just place you on meds as if its their GOAL. Front staff is very rude, VERY unprofessional. Very ghetto. Dont go here.

I have been using this office for over 5 years and have found them to be very knowledgeable and extremely friendly during my visits. Very comfortable with this office.
