I found the office odd, there were no other clients or associates at all. She managed the door as well as each room in this very small office. It was disorganized but very friendly, as was she. She was extremely persistent in me having recurring appointments so frequent that she requested I return several times in one week. Which was also odd since I had a clean bill of health. I felt a little like I was being sold something in a retail shop and not at a medical professional’s office.
Very easy to talk to. She explained all of my results in a way that was easy to understand. She was extremely thorough. I will be switching to her as my primary.

Very very non professional and non cooperative behavior. Dull management And very very unsatisfactory . Not recommended
Verified patient
Very chill and nice lady - but not professional. Got too caught up in technology that she didn't know how to use.
She is very thorough and did tests I’ve never had done. She took the time to get everything and that’s appreciated
Verified patient
She is a joke... do yourself a favor and do not go to her. It was a waste of time. Could not take her seriously.
Dr Ostrager mainly works on neck & back pains and was not able to do anything for what I had. Very nice otherwise

To say that Cherry was unprepared for my visit is an understatement. I didn't pass judgement when nobody answered the doorbell, or even when she personally did my intake (instead of an assistant). What concerned me most was the disarray of her office and general disorganization. She was frazzled, and she asked me the same questions over and over again. I would not recommend her to anyone seeking sophisticated, professional care.
The appointment took a really long time and she kept trying to get me to come back for allergy screening even when I told her multiple times I had no allergy symptoms.
Verified patient
Very easy to talk to. She explained all of my results in a way that was easy to understand. She was extremely thorough. I will be switching to her as my primary.
Verified patient
Probably the most uncomfortable doctors appointment I have ever experienced. Dr. Ostrager's bedside manner needs alot of work and she definitely needs a receptionist to handle insurance etc. Jus a few of the many ODD things that happened during my visit: Please do not excuse yourself to go and grab your coffee during my exam because YOU don't feel well. Seems pretty unhygienic to me. I don't think I've EVER had a doctors visit where the doctor was drinking coffee in the exam room. Since my strep test that I came for took 5 days to get results, I asked her if I should go to work, since I might be contagious. Her response was “well, I'm not feeling well and I had to be here”. Are you kidding me???? Her overall bedside manner needs alot of work too. I wasn't confident in her being a doctor. She came across as unsure of herself at times. I will not be returning to her as a patient.
Verified patient
Nice facility, friendly doctor, however, could hire a receptionist and medical assistant. This doc was the all in one, which gives the appearance of being unorganized and rushed.
Dr. Ostrager, Is always going the extra mile to make sure no stone is unturned. I never leave her office wandering what about this or that she is answers all of your questions on the spot. Her office is always spotless and convenient to get to. If I could clone Dr. Ostrager I certainly wood. I nominate her top Dr.
Verified patient
Amazing doctor—I've never had a more thorough primary care visit. Dr. Ostrager really listened to me and any health concerns and questions I had. I really feel like I walked out knowing my body and current health better. She was kind, compassionate, and informed of the "why" through every step of the exam. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
Dr. Ostrager was prompt, friendly, and seems very knowledgeable. She was also sensitive to trying to keep costs down. I will switch to her as my primary care doctor.
Verified patient
What more can I say, I not only have the most professional doctor in all of New York. I strongly recommend Dr. Ostrager. I might add the office is immaculate and she always takes me promptly. And with all that being said she is also the prettiest doctor in all of N.Y.C. Fred Thompson
Verified patient
This doctor Gived full attention to her patients. My wait time was right on time. And I have never had a visit that was so detailed. I would recommend Dr. Ostranger to all my friends and family. 2 thumbs up!!!!!
Verified patient
The worst doctor experience I have ever had. She is the only Dr. in her practice and she is the BILLING and Secretary Too! I signed up for an 8am appt so that I could go before working hours and didn't leave until 11am. In addition, I then got charged ridiculous amounts of money for the routine PHYSICAL that I went to. AVOID AVOID AVOID.
This md was one of best ! I have s lot of medical issues and she spent over two hours with me. We devised a plan and I know that I am in good hands for sure. The office was in a nice area!! Highly recommend!!
Verified patient
Very professional!
Dr. Ostrager was incredible. I wish I had met her earlier during my time here in New York. I was telling her how going to the hospital/ doctor gave me anxiety but she made me feel super comfortable. She is extremely attentive, thorough in questioning and procedures, extremely accepting, humorous, and down to earth. She was kind enough to call and persuade my insurance company to help cover me when they were resisting to help. Her technician was professional and friendly as well. I seriously wish I had met her earlier.
Verified patient
I have never accomplished so much in a single visit with any medical professional. I expected a simple introduction to (and a followup appointment for) a new Primary Care Physician in East Midtown Manhattan. I walked out with a full package of references to new specialists (one referral for the very same afternoon), as well as a huge appreciation for the meaning of the concept of "added value." I am truly impressed!
Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Ostrager was excellent. I did have to wait to be seen, but 100% worth it because her exam and evaluation was extremely thorough and comprehensive. She was very kind and I feel I am in very good hands under her care. Thank you!
Verified patient
She was very thorough and made sure that all my questions were answered. I really felt like she cared about me and my health, I wasn't just another patient. I would definitely recommend.
Verified patient
Cherry was very helpful in treating my UTI.
Great! Very quick when I was in a bit of a rush
Verified patient
Great knowledge and professional
Verified patient
Dr Ostrager is exceptionally thorough and spends quality time with her patients. You never feel rushed and she always take your concerns seriously.
Verified patient
everyone else is right - she does NOT have a front desk and does it herself. As a result, it’s extremely slow. also everything feels too pushy at her office. I went in for a cold and she was asking if I wanted a follow-up for allergy testing. Also extremely difficult to reach her office due to no front desk. would prefer more a more organized office since health reasons would require me to follow up with the doctor
Verified patient
Awful service. extremely unprofessional and unorganised. After i left my first review she called to abuse me and the review was taken down. do not use this doctor.
Verified patient
Had a great experience. I came in as a new patient to Dr. Orstrager feeling a lot of pain and looking for immediate help and she got me in right away. She took all the time needed to gather all the right information and make sure she was able to properly help me. After determining I would have to see a specialist right away, she gave me a great referral and got me an appointment with the other doctor immediately. Thank you so much!
Verified patient
Dr. Cherry is always very accommodating and thorough on my visits. She is always happy to answer any questions, and provide helpful referrals. She is a great primary care doctor and her allergy screenings are great!
Verified patient
Cherry was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. She was thorough in her work and made sure to answer all of my questions. It was nice to have such a positive interaction with a doctor.
Verified patient
One of the best doctors I have met in the city. Finally a thorough caring doctor that checks for the cause of the problem. Very knowledgeable and also does allergy tests.
