Color me impressed…read more I do have a regular gynecologist at Juno Medical in Harlem, but I was referred to Lily Wong after going to the CityMD on 50th & 2nd for an urgent women's health matter that they couldn't address, despite advertising gynecologic services at that site. (That...that is another story and perhaps another Yelp review. Ha!) I won't go into full details on my condition, but I am immunocompromised and have been since 2008. When I went to the CityMD to address my condition, I showed the physician my issue, but also noted to him that I was experiencing issues that manifest in me when I have a systemic infection: I was feeling lightheaded, had waves of nausea and little appetite, and felt general malaise. After 13 years, I've learned symptoms of my infections pretty well! I occasionally, but not always, run a fever as well. They ran vitals on me and did not draw blood, only did a urine test. My doctor concluded that since my uranalysis was normal, I didn't have a fever, and that I was lightheaded but not fully dizzy, that I was "fine", but would refer me to Dr. Wong for follow-up. I kept advocating for myself because I didn't want to end up in an emergency room if I really had an infection, but all they said is that they'd refer me. I felt my concerns fell on deaf ears. *sigh* When I arrived at Dr. Wong's office a few days later - by that time, I was feeling much better symptoms-wise, but was still dealing with my women's health issue overall which I thought was the source of my potential infection - I was grateful. The office was bright & clean, COVID-protection measures were in place, and all staff - both front desk and clinical - were too kind. What impressed me most was that Dr. Wong took care to read the notes I sent in prior to my visit. As someone that is asplenic - i.e. I have no spleen - she was asking me questions about my blood work, how my platelet levels were, and if I took any additional medications regarding my asplenia. I really took to heart that she asked me these questions, as my asplenia is usually just a passive note that is *not* followed up on by other doctors outside of my PCP. I'm really glad she asked me those questions out of genuine concern. She took my concerns about infection seriously as well & checked the issue; if I had an infection, it likely resolved by the time I made it to her office, but she gave me a thorough examination, gave me a few in-office and at-home options to treat it, and I felt both physical and mental relief after seeing her. Just to be taken seriously after my less - than - stellar CityMD experience took a weight off of my chest. Sure enough, I followed her at-home instructions for treating my issue, and it resolved within days. Thanks to Dr. Wong and her staff! Even if this is my only experience with her, I would highly recommend her to those looking for a regular gynecologist!

I am post-menopausal and I don't want to be treated like my reproductive organs are not important anymore. I went to another gynecologist who said that there was no need for surgery at that time. I waited several years and decided to get it surgically removed. No hysterectomy, no problem. Maybe this doctor should read scans first. I would like to give her no stars.

Dr. Seckin and Dr. Liu changed my life! I have struggled for over ten years with endometriosis…read morepains that progressively got worse and worse. I finally was diagnosed in August 2018 after my first laparoscopic surgery to remove a cyst on my ovary. The doctor who performed my first surgery refused to do anything while in there other than take pictures because my endometriosis was so bad. I found Dr. Seckin through online search and went to see him for the first time in December 2018. When I got to the office I met Dr. Liu who made me so comfortable while explaining all of my symptoms and going over everything with me. She was very knowledgeable and helped me realize some symptoms I was having that I didn't even realize were related to endometriosis. After speaking with Dr. Liu I met with her and Dr. Seckin together and they confirmed everything that I knew was wrong was related to endometriosis and gave me options for moving forward. I decided that I wanted the surgery and to get everything done so I could move past this. We scheduled surgery that same day for January 2019. In January I went to the city the day before my surgery and met with both the doctors again and they made me feel that they were very confident in the surgery. I arrived at the hospital the next day and even though there was a mix up and I had to wait even longer for my surgery, Doctor Seckin and Dr. Liu sat with me, hugged me and held my hand through a panic attack assuring me that everything was going to be fine and they were going to help me. That surgery has made life so much better for me and I have had little pain since then. I met with them once more after my surgery and things were going great. I go back one more time in March 2019 to see them again as my case was abnormal. All in all I am so glad that I found Dr. Seckin and Dr. Liu and decided to go to them. All of their staff is very helpful and pleasant. I feel very lucky and blessed to have found them and I know that they were the doctors I was meant to see and they have forever changed my life for the better. I can only hope that more women find doctors as great as Dr. Seckin and Dr. Liu because this disease needs the best treatment out there and they truly are the best.

I had a successful operation with Dr. Seckin. He fought to save my organs. He saved my ovary, freed…read moreboth of my ureters from endometriosis, freed my nerves, and removed extensive endometriosis tissues. Let me repeat that: he freed nerves that had become trapped by endometriosis. I don't think many people, even doctors, realize how technically demanding that is. But getting to this point was a long journey of trying to understand what was actually happening inside my body. I had gotten used to monthly period pain and heavy bleeding --I have a very high pain tolerance. I had also gone through two previous surgeries, 10 years apart, to remove fibroids that kept coming back. Last year, something changed. I started having sharp flank pain traveling toward my ovary and radiating down my leg. It woke me up from sleeps. Walking hurt. Sitting hurt. Sometimes my lower abdomen felt freezing, other times burning. An ultrasound showed a 6.2 cm blood-filled cyst covering my right ovary. That's when I decided that if I was going to have surgery again, I wanted the best surgeon I could find. That's how I found Dr. Seckin. At my first appointment, he carefully listened to my history and symptoms. He asked very specific questions that connected other symptoms I was experiencing that I had never thought could be related. Because of brain fog, I remembered additional things later and shared them with his team. They added everything to my file, including my allergies and medical history. Before my scheduled surgery, I ended up in the ER with severe pain. They initially suspected ovarian torsion and scheduled emergency surgery that day. Later, they told me, "Good news, your endometrioma is smaller. It's now 5.2 cm." But that wasn't good news. My endo was leaking. ... I didn't want someone to cut me open and sacrifice my organs without understanding the full picture. I wanted a surgeon who understood this disease. Dr. Seckin and his team had a very good understanding of what was happening and had a plan. The ultrasound showed the large endo, but the MRI and CT scan didn't show the full extent of the disease. They suspected my endometriosis had spread much further, and surgery confirmed it. I am grateful for Dr. Seckin I also want to thank the hospital and nurses. My pain was well controlled when I woke up, and the nurses helped me get moving quickly. My first walk was with a nurse, and after that I was able to walk several more times on my own. ‍ I'm still recovering, so my journey isn't over yet. But I finally feel like someone understood what was happening inside my body instead of only treating what showed up on a scan. The scans showed only a small part of what Dr. Seckin actually found and treated during surgery.

As a sufferer of severe pain caused by chronic & persistent endometriosis (that has not responded…read moreto two excision surgeries & hysterectomy by GYN surgeons in FL) I sought help from the best of the best, Dr. Seckin, refusing to succumb to a life of pain & immobility. I had been let down by 11 "Endo specialists", saying they didn't know how to help me further & "all of your endo was removed during your surgeries". Specialists additionally, gaslit me, saying my deep right leg pain could not be related to endometriosis. Seckin Endometriosis Center was just as wonderful as I had hoped. Due to his specialized training and experience in advanced excision of complex and nerve-involved endometriosis he suspected sciatic endometriosis with possible vascular entrapment immediately & he validated my right-sided leg pain & my symptom pattern. He immediately called his friend, vascular surgeon, Dr. Pamoukian to collaborate with him so I could get the best care possible. "I have a very interesting case for you..."- he said & told him to get to his office to meet me. Not, "We can't help this woman, she'll just have to live like this", not "it's not Endo they already excised all of it during your hysterectomy" not "have you explored the option of this pain being psychosomatic?" He looked at me with a face of, "let's do everything we can to figure this out together"... a face of determination, genuine empathy & curiosity. My eyes swelled with tears as I read hand-written letters that expressed heartfelt sentiment from parents of endo warriors-"Thank you for giving my daughter her life back...." Proudly framed on display. I am inhaling and exhaling genuine hope for the first time! Because he possesses unique, highly specialized skills, he routinely treats patients who have been turned away by other surgeons due to the risk of organ or nerve injury. My prior surgeries failed not because surgery was unnecessary, but because critical lesions could not be safely removed by providers without this level of subspecialty expertise. He is a GEM, who wants to spread education and awareness - he trains other surgeons to do what he does so his skills don't HAVE to be unique to him- so more surgeons can help more women- he is truly an inspiration. SO GRATEFUL!

I had a previous bad experience at a different clinic, and I was super nervous to see another doctor in the city. Dr. Kostant was super kind and informative. The office is really clean and comfortable; there is a nice selection of beverages you can enjoy. I would mention if the strings to your IUD are missing prior to your appointment, because there is some medication that you can take beforehand that can help with that process. I was still able to take the medicine during my appointment, and Dr. Kostant made the time for me to complete my procedure the same day. I was able to use laughing gas and local anesthesia for my procedure, which was definitely an interesting experience. I have a follow-up appointment scheduled in two weeks, and I am sure I will be all set for the next 10 years!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Pure OBGYN's billing department was…read moreincredibly frustrating. I went in for a pelvic pain/endometriosis visit and during the appointment was told I was overdue for my annual exam, so preventive services were completed at the same time. What was never proactively communicated was that this would result in multiple separately billed visits and hundreds of dollars in unexpected patient responsibility. After seeing the high-level claims in my insurance portal, I requested an itemized statement and billing/coding information from Lizaveta, the billing coordinator, so I could understand the charges submitted to my insurance. Instead, this turned into an exhausting back-and-forth where the requested information was repeatedly not provided. My issue is the lack of transparency, lack of proactive communication regarding billing implications, and how unnecessarily difficult it was to obtain basic billing documentation. As someone with endometriosis who unfortunately has extensive experience navigating healthcare billing and insurance, this was a simple request made unnecessarily difficult. While I have liked the doctors I've seen at Pure OBGYN, my interactions with the billing department have unfortunately left me with a very negative impression of the practice overall. Because of this experience, I would actively advise any friends, family, or other patients reading this from being seen at this practice.

I am an aspiring Single Mom by Choice so I knew I needed to work with a fertility clinic to have a…read morebaby. I wanted to work with a Known Donor so finding a clinic that would be very sensitive and honor my wishes was critical. I looked at a few different clinics but out of all of the clinics I toured, CUFC was the place I felt most comfortable. My doctor, Lauren Bishop, from our first interaction displayed tremendous empathy, consideration, sensitivity, and pragmatism. I knew that I would be able to have a child with the help of doctors and specialists at CUFC. My road to getting enough embryos for a transfer was long and unforgiving. When I suffered set-backs, Dr. Bishop and the care team provided me with the space to grieve while always being ready to reengage. When I decided to do an FET, I went in with very low expectations- the story I told myself was that my egg were "poor quality" and thus I shouldn't hope for one of my embryos to implant in my uterus. Dr. Bishop had faith and encouraged me to lean into the possibility. When I got my beta results, I was delighted; I had already had symptoms of pregnancy so receiving that verification that I was indeed pregnant, really was a sweet treat. I have now graduated from CUFC with my little embryo. We will be transitioning to our OB/midwife now. I will miss the team at CUFC- the effecient check-in's; being in-and-out of morning monitoring in 15 minutes flat; the ability to email my doctor/nurse/care coordinator; the constant flow of useful information about my labs and meds. While I love my midwife/OB's practice, I will deeply miss the care of CUFC.

Kevin and Radoslav have seen me through one pregnancy and delivery and two miscarriages, and have always provided exceptional care to me in my times of need. I also got varicose vein surgery at their office after the birth of my first child and again, they did a terrific job. Here is why I like the office: 1. They don't push anything on you. Kevin does cosmetic surgery but would never try to sell me on anything, for one. Two, he is extremely accommodating to what the patient wants. A live birth without pain meds (rather than a conveniently-scheduled-for-him-C section?) No problem. You don't ever feel like he will try to pressure you into what's more convenient for HIM, and this is why I trust him; 2. They are excellent at responding during emergencies. I always called and got to speak to Kevin or Radoslav right away. Not later (unless they were in surgery or delivery), but immediately. If you're bleeding, worried, or just scared/paranoid, they are there for you; 3. The staff at the office are not particularly embracing but are always pleasant and professional. Some of the MAs have worked there almost 15 years and know their way around that office; 4. They don't try to squeeze $ out of you if you miss an appointment and don't reschedule in time. Sometimes you get billed from other offices for missed visits, but not here - at least not yet. They also always try to fit you in when they know you need it, so you always want to come back; 5. Kevin has Radoslav as his father and mentor, which is a great big deal, considering the man has been in practice almost 40 years (!!) and really understands a woman's reproductive biology. Someone once told me they came to him for a second opinion after another Obgyn dismissed their condition after several examinations, but Radoslav diagnosed her on just an initial external exam with his hand. I mean come ON. The man is a marvel; 6. They accept many insurances and are good about trying to help you find the lab that's in network for the blood work and etc so that you don't end up stuck with a huge bill for their services. They just care about you, so go there if you care about you, too.
