Worst place to deal with and very rude staff. You can never get through! We need to call the commissioner to address this ongoing issues! People need medical care and this place is the worst. We are dealing with elderly and disabled people. These people can be your parents and the staff is just rude and they need retraining and new management at this location. I dont have a problem with the Riverhead NY location so this definitely should and needs to be corrected. This is years of this nonsense! Get it together Hauppauge NY! People deserve better treatment and so do the people on Medicaid.

The two women who work the first two windows where you take the speedy requests (and also the HEAP window rep) are so horribly and consistently rude and unfriendly, to the point it leaves me wondering how they can even feel okay about themselves outside of work knowing how nasty they are to struggling people 5/7 days a week. Listen, I know that it takes THICK skin to work that position. Ive seen applicants/recipients of benefits act abusively toward workers in similar positions. But for these workers to choose to punish every struggling person who walks through the doors because of those experiences, regardless of how friendly, respectful, and prepared they are? Horrible. Id love to believe its just a part of the job and its not a behavior style these women choose. But honestly? I ended up in line behind the older woman at a shop one day and she was SOOO rude to the very nice owner. Seems to be more of a personal issue than a career one tbh. Maybe this is the only job where she can get away with taking out that bad energy on people and not get penalized? I dont know. Its sad and horrible!!! 2 stars instead of 1 because some of the workers who interview and help behind the scenes are SO very kind, sympathetic, and helpful. Would love nothing more than to see that positive energy brought to the front of the house. But yeah, be prepared to essentially be belittled, humiliated, yelled at, and made to feel like the dust of the earth here. Its overall a consistently awful and emotionally damaging experience.
