“Staff is kind and respectful. Wonderful bedside manner. Dr Kaminsky is throw, listens attentively and provides good feedback. I have been extremely pleased with my care each time I have been seen by her and her staff. They were also very accommodating as I needed to reschedule my appointment and although she is a specialist her schedule had plenty availability to accommodate me within a reasonable amount of time. Not common for a specialist. Most specialist are so busy if you need to reschedule your appointment you risk needing to wait months before you are able to be seen. Thankfully that was not the case with Dr Kaminsky. I was able to reschedule and still be seen within the same month I had originally booked my appointments.”

This was truly one of the best experiences I've had with doctors appointments in NYC. Everyone-- from the front desk, to the physician's assistant, to Dr. Kominsky herself--was so warm, kind, attentive and human. They were prompt and helpful. Having lived in NYC for many years, this office visit stood out as a noticeably positive experience. Would highly recommend.

Everything was fine I just feel as if the service provider wasn’t as thorough as I’d expect a specialist doctor to be. Currently looking for second opinions but overall a decent doctor’s visit.

Verified patient
I went to get my ear cleaned out and she left my right ear totally clogged up. I had to go to the CityMD down the street from my house so they could finish her job.
Verified patient
Excellent
Insurance covered, friendly staff, just felt like the doctor herself didnt care much to help or diagnose, felt like she was wasting her time meeting me
I saw the provider about an intermittent issue that was starting to clear up, but I've still felt some issues around since and it mostly seemed like the provider wanted to get the appointment over with rather than fully addressing my concerns.
