Well, you could always check out the "New York City gynecologists-Medicare" or just the general "gynecologists" threads in the women's health section—or simply give him a quick Google search! Honestly, the doctor himself is quite good, but his practice is absolutely slammed with patients. I am not entirely certain if they are even accepting new patients anymore, so if I were you, I might tread carefully. I recall trying to sign up with him back in April last year, only to be told my appointment wouldn't be until August—the crowds have been getting progressively larger, haven't they? It seems like someone is constantly trying to squeeze into his schedule. And the waiting room? Oh, you'll be there forever! You really ought to arrive before business hours start because they hand out numbers; if you snag a number, you can sit and wait, but if you miss out... well, you might as well just head home for the day. The women sitting in the waiting area look just like a swarm of locusts, all lined up and waiting patiently.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to get some routine screenings done for quite some time now—and I’m the type of person who prefers a specific process, you know? My ideal way is to have my OB-GYN write a referral, then head to a private clinic to provide the sample, pay the fee, and take the specimen along with the referral to the lab. With this doctor, that particular workflow was supposedly never an issue; in fact, I managed to pull it off a couple of times myself. However, on one occasion, he informed me that I wouldn't be receiving a referral, but would instead need to come directly to him for the swabs. And frankly, I don't have the patience to sit there for hours like some poor soul!

In any case, my interactions with him have been limited to paperwork and consultations—I haven't actually been on the exam table yet, so I can't speak from firsthand experience regarding his bedside manner during a procedure. That said, when I did a little digging, I didn't encounter any negative reviews specifically about the doctor himself. And believe me, there are plenty of gynecologists mentioned on this forum who have picked up at least a few criticisms! During our consultation, he was quite cooperative and helpful, though I suppose one wonders if the increasing crowds have changed his demeanor lately.
