Upon first visit the team was very welcoming and friendly! Everyone was understanding and nice to be around. I was there on time and they also took me on time as well. I received my prescription the same day. Highly recommend!

It was really nice to find a place where I don't have to worry about being mistreated cause I'm trans. I can pick up my hormones from the pharmacy at the Manhattan location and deal with everything in one place. My therapist (Omar) and psychiatrist (Dr. Donald) have both been great and they are both people of color so it's added an extra sense of comfort that there is representation in multiple areas. I really lucked out to have found it right at the start of my transition. And the desk staff have all been really nice and respectful as well.

Had an appointment after months of searching and waiting. 3 days of my LIFE-SUSTAINING MEDS LEFT so good thing I finally got through that long wait to see a doctor! On the subway there I call to report a delay when I am informed that the doctor quit and I don't actually have an appointment anymore, and they will not be finding me another one. Apparently they called somebody and left a message, but no such message exists on my phone so it wasn't mine. They sent a text via an app I don't have too instead of my phone number or email. New appointment is in August. Literally life and death, I explained to them my situation 3 times. This triggered 3 callbacks in which I was told 3 times a very polite version of "We're not going to do anything for you, I'm sorry you'll be dead by then!" Fully useless. 💀 And judging by the doctor walk-off they treat their docs about as well as their patients. I guess I'll just walk into an ER and hope they'll give me a prescription. I gotta say NYC medicine is pretty humiliating so far.

I am writing specifically to recognize KC Osofsky, an EMP Navigator at Apicha Community Health Center. As a single person navigating health insurance on my own, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to make the right decision. KC immediately put me at ease. She was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. What I appreciated most was that KC was completely unbiased. Because she is not affiliated with any insurance carrier, I felt confident that her only goal was helping me find the plan that best fit my needs. We spent over an hour on the phone reviewing plans side-by-side, comparing benefits, discussing costs, checking prescription coverage, and evaluating provider networks. KC helped me compare my doctors, hospital systems, and medications, and guided me through a process that felt incredibly overwhelming at first. Most importantly, she made me feel supported and not alone while making a very important healthcare decision. Because of KC’s expertise, patience, and kindness, I now feel confident in the health insurance plan I selected. I am incredibly grateful for her help and highly recommend both KC and Apicha Community Health Center to anyone navigating the health insu

I’ve had such a positive experience with my therapist, Omar Hakim, at Apicha Community Health Center. From the very beginning, he has always treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine understanding. He creates such a comfortable and judgment-free environment that makes it easier to open up and talk honestly about difficult things. One thing I truly appreciate is how accommodating and supportive he has been whenever I’ve missed an appointment, instead of making me feel bad about it, he has always helped me reschedule and made sure I still received the support I needed. That level of compassion and flexibility really means a lot. Omar consistently shows that he truly cares about his patients and wants to see them grow, heal, and do well. He listens carefully, gives thoughtful guidance, and never rushes conversations, which makes every session feel meaningful and productive. His calm demeanor, professionalism, empathy, and patience have made a huge impact on me, and I’m genuinely grateful for all the support and encouragement he has given me throughout my time at Apicha Community Health Center.
