Dr Scobie took her time explaining everything to me, she did not rush. She asked for my input, did I agree with the plan for my care. I would recommend Dr Janice Scobie.

I was seen at the time of my appointment. Everyone was really nice and listened. Dr. Scobie wrote lots of notes and explained everything in detail, asked questions and listened to my concerns and gave follow up instructions. Nothing was dismissed. It was calm and intentional.
Verified patient
Lovely experience.
Verified patient
She was unprofessional (missed an appointment that she promised to attend), failed to offer any reasonable explanation as to why recent tests measuring the same thing (at her office and with another physician) would produce conflicting results, and never responded to several emails. Very disappointing.
I had a Zoom call scheduled to meet with the doctor. I logged on 5min early and waited for 20min past the start time of my appointment before logging off having not seen the doctor. The office called 45min after my appointment time saying that the doctor is ready now if I was still available to meet. I told her I was available during the time I was waiting on the Zoom call, but not anymore. She then quickly replied in an annoyed tone, “No, the doctor was on, she was just with another patient!” I don’t know what was meant by that, but her tone shifted and sounded defensive when there was no effort to alert me that there was a wait time in the first place and then further making me out to be the bad guy for not waiting longer.
Verified patient
Dr. Scobie has a great bedside manner. She listens and explains thoroughly. She didn't rush through my appointment and spent time with me to address my concerns.
She is very thorough and considerate.
Verified patient
Dr. Scobie was pleasant, through, punctual, friendly, but most of all attentive to my concerns. I appreciate Dr. Scobie not just wanting to provide me with lots of medication, instead we made a plan of action that I was comfortable with doing. I definitely would recommend Dt. Scobie to family, friends, & those looking for a caring cardiologist.
Verified patient
Yes, I will go back. Dr. Scobie is warm, friendly, super knowledgeable and professional, She immediately made me feel at ease. Everything was explained to me in a way that I found very understandable. I feel happy that I found a cardiologist I trust and will continue to see.

Very pleasant experience. Officer staff was super professional. Dr. Scobie listened to my concerns and explained everything thoroughly. She was extremely knowledgeable.
Verified patient
Notwithstanding the fact that the appointment was booked weeks ago, the doctor’s office called the morning of the appointment to cancel without explanation. It would be great to have had advance notice. My time is just as important as her time.
Dr. Scobie is fantastic. She intently listening to my symptoms (and there are A LOT) and was so thorough she brought up symptoms I have had that I didn't realize were relevant. I realized also that I have had these symptoms longer than I thought. She then ordered several follow up tests, and is building off of prior ones to ensure we cover all of our bases when it comes to my care. I'm so happy I saw her for a consult!
Verified patient
The entire office was incredibly helpful & friendly. Dr. Scobie was incredibly patient, kind and thorough. It was my first appointment but felt I had been a patient there for a while. I couldn’t be happier to recommend Dr. Scobie and her team !
Best experience with a physician in NYC. As a pregnant woman who needed to see a cardiologist, Dr. Scobie made me feel so calm, took her time and listened and explained any of my questions. Her staff was amazing as well, very caring and attentive.
Verified patient
The doctor was very patient and answered all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed. The medical assistant (I hope that's her title) was amazing. She was so down to earth and had me laughing and relaxed. This is the type of person you want to see when going to the doctor may be stressful.
Verified patient
The doctor and her assistant are AMAZING.
Verified patient
Thought the care I got from Dr Scobie while in office was good. However, I was told I needed to schedule a tilt table test after my initial consultation. The doctor’s office said someone would reach out to schedule this test. I have followed up five times on the phone over a two week period, and the only response I can get is “someone will get back to you eventually about scheduling this test.” (The office does not have a direct line you can reach, you can only reach the Mt Sinai operator, who can then reach the doctor’s office.)
Dr communicates easily and is very thorough with your medical history. Welcomes questions and discussion. Staff is as polite as you are ?? office is comfortable. There was a slight wait once in the room but it was attributed to Dr's thorough communication with elderly patient before me. Dr did not rush with me either ??
Verified patient
Wonderful, professional, and excellent first visit / experience with provider. Would definitely recommend to others and will return.

Was really kind and was clear on next steps
Verified patient
It was impossible to have this telemedicine visit with the cardiologist Dr. Janice Schobin. I had signed up on Zocdoc last night, because I’ve been having pain around my left breast and heart area. First, I did receive the promised message by email from Mr. Sinai, her insituttion, that I had to download the Mt.Sinai app and sign up to use the telemedicine feature. I went through that whole process only to have the app reject all my filled in data and it "started over" blank. Next, I tried to call the office, per the number shown on the Mt. Sinai email. The voice mail options did not match either this doctor's office or name, but his woman somewhere in the Mt. Sinai system by phone transferred me to another office. THIS NEW WOMAN COULD NOT HELP ME AND DIDN'T EVEN WORK FOR MT SINAI. I googled this doctor and called “her office.” Only to find out it wasn’t really her office anymore and they had no contact with this doctor. I spent almost an hour trying to attend this appointment.

Dr Scobie had a thorough consultation with me . She was patient and attentive. I feel confident in her level of care about my well being and in addition to an EKG during my first appointment set up further tests .. I feel Dr Scobie , even though rather young herself , was similar to doctors I had years ago ( I’m 78 years old ) .. I did not feel caught up in institutional healthcare which seems to be the new normal . Even though I made my appointment through ZocDoc I’m quite possibly switching my cardiac care to Dr Scobie
