Finding a good PCP in NYC is not all that easy. You have endless choices, but you want the best. In…read moreJune 2008, I decided it was time for me to have lap band surgery. At the time, I was very unhappy with my current PCP due to his horrible office staff. Therefore, after a bit of research, I made an appointment with Dr. Retsagi. The practice is very small. His staff consists of a lab tech (I forgot her name) and the receptionist (Rita). Both are absolutely wonderful and always give me a very warm welcome. The only negative about Dr. Retsagi is sometimes he runs a little behind. Don't be surprised if you have to wait a half an hour, but I don't mind. It just shows he is taking his time with patients. As for Dr. Retsagi himself, he is everything a doctor should be - very kind, gentle, and very knowledgeable. He truly cares about his patients and always tells me to call him anytime if I have any problems. For my pre-op testing for the lap band surgery, he left no stone unturned. He carefully reviewed all my lab reports and also ordered some additional tests. He is also extremely fast about returning phone calls in emergency situations. One thing I forgot to mention when I first wrote this review - Dr. Retsagi's business hours are from 12-8PM, which is perfect for all us working people. If you have to reach him in the morning, leave a message on his voicemail and he will get back to you ASAP.

After over 10 years in Dr. Retsagi's care I am very upset and have decided to seek another primary…read morecare doctor. I've been concerned about this in the past, but what convinced me to make this move was the following... About 3 years ago I turned 50yo and asked Dr. Retsagi if I should schedule for a colonoscopy, but with confident assurance he said the a stool smear test was sufficient. I asked him again, and he again restated. Since I did not look forward to the colonoscopy prep (which is, btw, not all that bad as I found out) I went along with his advice. At least once more on my last checkup I repeated my concerns and was again reassured by him. Then, about 3 months ago my heart sank when I looked into my toilet after voiding to see bright red water. The colonoscopy revealed long existing polyps that I had to wait anxiously for 2 weeks to find out were benign. I was furious! For another example, a couple of years ago I complained to him about moderate hearing loss and asked if it's possible I had ear wax. He looked and said I was fine. 6 months later I went to a specialist who exclaimed that I had a lot of ear wax. This specialist told me it was certainly possible for a regular doctor to miss this, so I let it go. My new doctor looked in my ear and told me immediately that I now have ear wax buildup again, even without my complaining about hearing loss. I am through with Dr. Retsagi!

STAY AWAY: Incompetent Administration and Zero Accountability…read more ​I am writing this to warn others: do not waste your time or money at this office. While the doctor is actually good and knowledgeable, the administrative side of this practice is an absolute disaster and completely undermines the medical care. ​The service here is beyond horrible. Every single appointment involves a wait time that consistently exceeds three hours, which is a blatant disrespect for patients' time. To make matters worse, they charge for unnecessary services while failing to deliver on the basic documentation you actually need. ​The lack of professionalism and incompetence is staggering: ​Failure to Deliver: I visited twice specifically for a medical letter for my employer. Despite two in-person visits, numerous phone messages, and multiple emails, they failed to provide a usable document. ​Pure Laziness: When they finally sent a "letter," it was a generic template that hadn't even been edited. It literally said "Insert Patient Name" where my name should have been. This is not just unprofessional; it is negligent and unusable for any employer. ​Hostile Staff: The front office staff is rude, disrespectful, and completely lacking in basic customer service standards. They have no interest in helping patients or fixing the errors they make. ​The "standard" of care here is non-existent. It doesn't matter how good the doctor is if the office procedures are this broken. You will leave frustrated, empty-handed, and insulted. Go somewhere else where they actually value their patients and know how to perform basic office tasks.

The technician was so warm and professional as well! She explained what she would do, got it done and again I was very pleased with not only their knowledge but the bedside manner.
