You find yourself in and out of the doctor's office in short order, and not because you've been rushed -- just because he goes about his business in an expedient manner. To make clear how high my recommendation goes: I just created this Yelp account specifically to leave him good feedback. The world must know, and all that.

However, I cannot give him 5 stars because of his horrible receptionist. She is rude and curt with patients, almost aggressive.

THIS is how ALL Doctor Practices should be run, rather than the usual cranky receptionist, the 1 hour wait, followed by a kurt / impatient doctors/nurse that treats you like they are doing you a favor and you're 6 years old. ONLY if you reward the good practitioners will this issue ever get resolved. I CANNOT recommend Dr Levy's practice enough, the entire experience was just a breath of fresh air and as it should be. 5 STARS

I am not an easy patient: obese, clinical anxiety, vasovagal reaction to blood being drawn, and…read morewhite coat syndrome regarding blood pressure. Dr. Pulcheri didn't minimize any of my concerns, and joked back with me when I used self-deprecating humor. She listened, offered her opinion, asked me to think about some things (like a pap smear, which I haven't in years), and offered advice without judgement. Basically, exactly what you'd want from a doctor: and what is now so ridiculously hard to find. The clincher for me, though, was that she decided to take all my vitals and bloodwork herself, rather than being in her assistant - as she thought that would make more anxious. Gah, I think I'm in love with this place.

I saw Dr. Lilly for the first time a few months ago. She was very nice upon the first visit, and…read moreseemed attentive. I went back a few weeks later for back pain and she seemed very rushed and dismissive. She said she was going to refer me to an orthopedist , I said I went to a few already. She continued to give me a referral for an orthopedist on told me to make an appointment. When I got home I looked at the referral and it was for and arm orthopedist, not even for back pain. I now found out that she left the practice and did not give any information as to where she was going. I had not intended on going back to her but my friend who had been a long time patient of hers was not even given information as to where she was going.

She has no warmth - even when she smiles she comes off as cold and super private. She does not call after her strict hours or on weekends -- A few summers ago, she was aware of when I was extremely sick - and I was out of town , and in pain - it was impossible to get through the Northwell Health phone line, and when I did, she was not there, and I don't recall a prompt call back. She does not come in to the office every day. Most recently I required an urgent fill of asthma inhaler as i was out of town and had forgotten mine. It was mid week and plenty of time for it to get done on business hours. I never received the prescription or the call back. Needless to say I'm looking for a new doctor. I wish her well, but I never felt the same in return.

Everyone I spoke to and worked with on the 6th floor was amazing. Gentle, compassionate, kind. Make sure you get a cost estimate before you go; I found this location was considerably less expensive than Tisch Hospital (taking into consideration my deductible, insurance coverage, and probably all the hospital facility fees).

She has never done anything excessive in my medical care especially compared with other NY doctors that I have been a patient with. I have been with her for three years now.

However, I have always had all my needs met. Dr. G has always been very upfront with me in guiding me and my health in an excellent way. I find that her and her nurses all have the most professional bedside manner. As mentioned in other reviews, she is able to do a complete physical complete with EKG, etc. Its hard to please everyone and to be fair some have unrealistic expectations but with the negative reviews I wanted to state that Dr. G is a terrific family practitioner and the kind of doctor I have enjoyed having.

I love the staff, availability of appointments for what I am looking for, and the turnaround time to be seen once I am checked in. I truly feel like my healthcare here is personalized as doctors listen to my concerns and speak with care and compassion. It's important to work with a provider who really empathizes and takes the time to hear what their patients have to say. My experience makes me so sad knowing that so many people will likely see many different doctors that don't take them seriously and will be turned off to healthcare in general. Having someone by your side makes the biggest difference in health outcomes and I would recommend Leaf to anybody in the neighborhood.
