One of the best doctors in NYC!
Verified patient
This is the kind of doctor you dream of getting--the one who makes himself available to you if you have any questions or concerns, the one who follows-up with you. I only wish I could have a primary care provider who was as attentive as Dr. Abayev.
Verified patient
Dr. Abayev was incredibly kind and really listened to me and my concerns. I finally feel that I have found a doctor that will get to the bottom of my issue. Such a relief to find a great doctor after a long search.
Verified patient
I've seen Dr Abayev a few times before. He is very professional and reassuring about procedures or results you may be nervous about. He is very thorough in his explanations, answers questions well, and cares about his patients. I've had three primary obygyns in the past and he is the most confident and reassuring physician I've had in this area. I would highly recommend him to a friend.
Verified patient
He was amazing!!! Best gyno I have ever had! Straight forward, caring and a great experience! Explained everything seamlessly.

Best doctor ever!
Where to begin. The doctor belittled me, told me I was wrong about my own medical history without having seen my records, told me I chose the wrong birth control, and essentially told me I was making things up about my medical history. I've had some really traumatic past experiences with gynecologists. It is difficult for me to trust new doctors as a result. He was brusque, rude, and gave advice I didn't ask for, and made inappropriate jokes about my weight and my never having been pregnant. And this was before he even examined me in a dingy, unsanitary, tiny office. Halfway through the appointment I wanted to cry. Disposable speculums were kept in an open bag on a counter covered in random medical equipment. Posters on the wall were all for men's health. There was mold on the floor. The doctor didn't acknowledge my discomfort during the check-up and dismissed it until his female assistant commented on it. The assistant performed a sonogram in a different tiny office in silence. He never performed a test I specifically asked for, and at the end of the appointment he couldn't even remember my age and gave me results in an abrupt manner. I left the office feeling miserable, berated, and completely shocked by what had just unfolded. I would never in a million years return to this office. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. No one should leave their gynecologist and immediately start sobbing on the street because of how awful the doctor was. He needs to adjust his bedside manner, acknowledge his patients' humanity, and refrain from invalidating and belittling his patients' experiences.
I think the MD needs to think before he speaks. Period. Dry personality. Offensive. I seemed to know more about my medical condition that he did. Not the best in my opinion. Front desk staff is very dry and not very welcoming. The doctor's assistant is also very dry. Not the most upbeat environment. Definitely seeking a new doctor..
I shouldn't really comment on the wait time as I was late myself due to work. The secretary assured me that I could still be seen even tho it was already 6 pm! He saw me within 30 min despite my tardiness. Dr. Abayev has nice bedside manner, he is attentive and listens to you in his office before taking you into the exam room. His speculum exam is super quick and painless. He even has onsite ultrasound if you require it! I feel comfortable with his knowledge base and medical advice.

Dr. Abayev was really lovely. I was nervous about seeing a male OBGYN, but I felt very comfortable with Dr. Abayev. He answered all of my questions, and gave me ample time to discuss my concerns. My actual exam was quick and comfortable. My only issue was that I was given two ultrasounds, which I have never had happen at the OBGYN before; when I expressed my confusion the woman performing the ultrasound brushed off my concern and expressed that it was strange that I had never had one before. The woman who did the ultrasounds was not what I would call warm, and the process took a little longer than I would've liked (especially since I didn't know it was going to happen in the first place). At the end of the day I guess it's better to be thorough, but it was a bit of a surprise.

very nice staff, also very clean

Very pleasant.
Verified patient
LOVE HIM! Takes his time with his patients. I hate that I didn't find him sooner. I do wish they didn't leave urine samples in the public bathroom for so long, it made me feel uncomfortable seeing 3 samples from different women just sitting by the sink for like 30 mins with men and women visiting the bathroom in the waiting room. I mention this to the receptionist. Other than that, I love the doctor.
Unprofessional and snarky bedside manners. Provided little information about the concerning health condition he discovered. Place was rundown and practices seemed unsanitary. Would NOT recommend!
Dr. Abayev was very straight-forward, no nonsense. I would have preferred attention to my medical history, which he did not ask. Nor were my vitals taken. And the wait was terrible. But having imaging tests done within the office was time-saving and stress-reducing. It helped me get treated right away. If you're looking for a no-frills experience, Dr. Abayev is a wise choice.

Very friendly and knowledgable!

Dr. Abayev and his nurse were very understanding and approachable with my preventative concerns. They made me feel omfortable during the exams and I would recommend Dr. Abayev to friends and family. Thank you!
Verified patient
He was very professional. Made me feel comfortable and the wait was not bad at all. I was seen within 5 minutes. And the overall visit was quick. Would recommend!!
Verified patient
The visit actually wasn't bad, but the follow up has been terrible. I needed to get a copy of the receipt, it's been impossible to get them to send it to me. They have their own database where you can see your exam results, but they don't upload any results. I had problems after the appointment and when the doctor called me he didn't know who I was, why I had seen him, when I started the pill and gave me no useful feedback regarding anything. I'm making an appointment with someone else. Definitely not going back.
Very good Dr.

Dr. Abayev and his staff was great. It was my first time going to a gynocologist and they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Appointment went by like a breeze. They have after work hours which is a big play.
Verified patient
The doctor was very good on paper; friendly at first, friendly staff, wait time went by a breeze. But what bothered me the most, is his dismissive demeanor in answering questions. Two things came up in the sonogram, which I had to bring up to him and basically drill him on an explanation. It was like pulling teeth. Not cool at all. Drs are supposed to have patience to their patient's questions; not brush them off as soon as theyre out of the examining room. Very disappointing to say the least.
Verified patient
This was pretty much the best Gyno appointment I have ever had. The doctor is very knowledgable and personable. The papsmear was surprising quick and painless in comparison to my past doctors. I waited a total of 0 minutes to be seen and was finished quickly as well. Another bonus is that he has evening appointments, Perfect for those that work from 9-6 like myself
Verified patient
My visit was extremely comforting and informative. My nerves were put to ease and I left feeling confident that the doctor and nurse took great care.
