Dr. Agnew is extremely sweet, attentive and efficient. This can sometimes be a stressful situation due to the nature of the specialty but she speaks to you during the process so you’re a little distracted from what’s going on. A welcomed distraction. I highly recommend her.

The team was awesome. I was promptly seen. Everybody there had excellent demeanor and incredibly kind. Dr Agnew was also very kind, took her time with the examination, and was very transparent and direct about everything.
Verified patient
Dr. Agnew was so nice and made me feel like my concerns were reasonable (even though it sounds like I was probably being overly cautious by coming in). She made me feel comfortable through the exam and explained everything in detail- would definitely recommend
Dr. Agnew is exactly the reason why I prefer female physicians. She was kind, patient, understanding, nonjudgmental, informative, and open minded. She made what could’ve been an unnerving experience into an open and reassuring one. I received the best care for my health needs from her. 10/10. I’d recommend Dr. Agnew to everyone.

Bright window-bordered office overlooking Lexington Avenue, and the staff as bright and friendly and informative and helpful as the sun illuminating the afternoon. Dr. Agnew was patient, to the point, explained everything that was going on during the examination and explained treatment options, in a warm caring-doctor demeanor. Feel in good hands there, literally and figuratively. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
The NP Jenny as really nice. However, the doctor informed me what she’s doing during the examination. I hope she had told me in advance so I feel prepared. The examination was very quick. Then she recommended the treatment.
