Plus, his office is easily accessible via public transit and on the same floor as various specialists for medical and dental needs. Although I went in thinking I had the flu, he reassured me that I didn't have it with a few quick checks. In addition to prescriptions for various symptoms with the option of antibiotics in case I needed it for a bacterial infection, he also offered to write a doctor's note to request accommodations that assisted me for my upcoming travels. He had good bedside manners and made it easy to talk to about my health issues. Unlike most doctors, he addressed each health concern and explained how best to proceed. I have no doubt I'll be back if I ever need a medical consultation on short notice.

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!

Dr. Hoch as well as several other doctors were next to work and accepted my med plan. I googled five docs and only he had reviews. Typically that is not a good thing, as people usually use these forums to bad mouth the service. However, I found amazing reviews about his thoroughness and service. I couldn't agree more! In my initial visit to him, I could immediately tell that he actually cared unlike most health professionals that have been at it for awhile. Even though I heard him paged several times, I never felt rushed and we talked about not only my medical history but my families. I wasn't coming to him with an issue, but knowing that my 30 year old physical is around the corner I felt it was time to find a doc out here. Dr. Hoch is a diamond in the rough. I am glad to have met him, and I hope not to see him very often for my health, but I know that every time I have to see him it will be a pleasurable experience. Five stars all the way.
