My appointment was at 10 in the morning and I was one of the only people in the waiting room. Everyone was kind and I was called within 10 minutes of my arrival. Dr. Trakhtenberg was very nice and had great bedside manner. She explained all the questions I had. I'm happy to have found a good gyn doctor.

I was able to get an appointment last minute with Dr Trakhtenberg, which I was very thankful for. The downside of this practice is that there was at one point 4 people in the room including the doctor. I do not find this acceptable. There were medical assistants constantly going in and out of the room. I was very uncomfortable with the experience. The doctor did not explain anything that she was doing. She was in and out of the room. They also said they would send vitamin d over to the office which they also did not do. They did some blood work and called me 2 weeks later. The medical assistant that called and said I would need to return to the office for re testing and did not explain any further.

I only came in to get a prescription for birth control, which the doctor seemed confused by. She told me she would only refill my prescription later if I came back in for a pap smear, which I told her I had just had with another doctor. She did not believe me. High co-pay for a 3 minute office visit to write me a prescription for birth control. I wouldn't recommend.

My doctor recommended to me over a year ago to get a pap smear for the first time, and I had been putting it off. After turning 23 I finally made an appointment with Yelena Trakhtenberg. The wait was pretty long, but not worse than I expected for a busy day. When I got into the room the nurse asked me my background info, including if I had ever had sex (I hadn't). She then asked me why I was there. I told her I wanted a pap smear, and she responded that because I was a virgin I didn't need one. I mentioned that my GP recommended it and she said she didn't think the doctor would do it but I could talk to her. Dr. Trakhtenberg also tried to convince me that I didn't need a pap smear, but when I insisted she complied. I have since gone to a new gynecologist who told me I definitely made the right decision and was surprised a health professional would behave the way she did. I'm pretty confident in myself, but hearing this misinformation from a doctor made me falter. I would not recommend her to a friend.

Overall experience was just okay. I had a late appointment so I was seen right away. Receptionist lacked customer service skills, but Dr. Trakhtenberg and her Medical Assistant performed at a satisfactory level. Would not necessarily recommend to a friend due to the mechanical and impersonal nature.

This had been my gyn for 2 years. Doctor confirmed my pregnancy and saw me twice after. I came in for another check up, this time with my boyfriend so he can see the baby and a different doctor walks in, a male at that. I was very upset. I did not go through with the exam. When I went to the desk the receptionist had an attitude and told me that since I am pregnant my doctor will no longer take my insurance. I waited practically 2 weeks for this appointment and over an hour to be seen to find out this info that should have been shared with me. And if you look on zoc it says that the doctor takes my insurance.

Wait time was fine, but the doctor had a very offputting and brusque manner.

I was happy to get an appointment 24 hours in advance although they called me to change to a later appointment. Also any documentation you provide on zocdoc doesn't get shared with them so a complete waste of time. Might not be there fault...perhaps zocdoc should give them options to state whether or not info is accepted via online (?). Generally the doctor was nice and efficient once with her. I waited close to 2 hours to be seen by the doctor. The bathroom was not clean and toilet overflowing...saw something on the bathroom floor I did not want to see. Not appealing for a drs office but could have been a bad day!

Office management needs work. They made my doctor take patients of a doctor who called in. It's double the load and unfair to Dr. Trakhtenberg patients. The doctor was very apologetic and nice about it but it was not her fault to begin with she is just trying to help people. The office should have been on the phone with the patience of the other doc cancelling their appt instead of trying to get paid for double booking.

I arrived for my appointment early to fill out paperwork. I then watched every other patient in the waiting room (including several who arrived after me) see the doctor while I sat for hours. I was the last patient of the day to be seen before the office closed, even though my scheduled appointment was certainly not the last of the day. The medical assistant did not leave the room while I changed. Once the doctor finally came in, she was there for maybe 5 minutes. She was fine. Then the woman at the front desk tried to charge me for a procedure I did not have and would not believe me until the medical assistant spoke up and vouched for me. I would never go back.

It was terrible. first time at a gyno and she helped me in no way get comfortable, actually she did quite the opposite. I made it clear it was my first time and she seemed rude when I was uncomfortably sitting there having something cold and foreign put inside me. I was like she just wanted to get it over with. I was done fairly quickly. I only saw the doctor herself for about 5 min than when she was done I was not told all my procedures for her were complete. knowing that doctors leave the room at times I sat there waiting and than the nurse came in and said "what are you still doing in here you are done". Extremely unprofessional. Never again will I step foot into that office.

I was running close to ten minutes late so I called to see if I needed to reschedule. They said it was fine. I waited over two hours- more than 30mins of which I was sitting in a cold room in a paper gown alone. I also felt as if the nurse wasn't really paying attention to my intake and I noticed several mistakes and pointed them out to the doctor. Dr. Traktenberg? and the sonogram technician worked quickly and efficiently.

Dr. Trakhtenberg is a fantastic gynecologist if you love for someone to be rough with your lady parts! She has a nonchalant bedside manner and lacks the warmth of other gynecologists (that for some reason, most women enjoy). If you love to wait for over an hour to be seen, I would highly recommend Dr. Trakhtenberg. However, I prefer to be seen promptly, and not waste my valuable time sitting in the waiting room. My experience with Dr. Trakhtenberg involved me sitting in the waiting room for 45 minutes, and then taken into examination room so I could wait another 45 minutes (only, this time, I got to be cold and wear nothing but the paper robe!). Also, the management is pretty terrible (if that's your thing). I would highly recommend Dr. Trakhtenberg to anyone who enjoys mediocre healthcare!

I went in for a 6:30pm appt but wasn't called until 7:30pm. Usually, they leave the room for you to undress/dress and that was not the case here. When the doctor came in there were 2 other assistants there as well. The doctor started my pap smear but the assistant took it over and the doctor left the room. They sent my RX out and i was done by 8:00pm after them taking bloodwork. I spent more time with the assistants than I did with the doctor. I felt that she was questioning me with my BC and if I was being honest about which one I used before. It was a little uncomfortable because of what I've been used to but I do plan on going back there. One of the assistants were great- wish I got her name.

I went in for a routine check up - good location, easy to get to from the train or driving. I went on a Monday so my wait time was very short (less than 30 minutes). They didn't take my weight or BP (just asked me if I knew it and wrote down what I told them) and afterward, they didn't give me anything to clean myself. I appreciated the doctor's speedy technique, very non-invasive and no fuss, straight to business and no need to hold my hand or walk me through a routine I've been through since my teens. The staff was very nice, the Medical Assistant couldn't be sweeter, and the Dr. was very professional and didn't waste my time. All in all, I had a good experience, but just a tip, if you're paying cash, make sure that you ask for prices regarding SPECIFIC procedures and tests. They charge way more for a PAP with HPV screening (which I didn't need) than without so double check at the front desk while you fill out your paperwork, and again at the other window when you're leaving!

Dr. Trakhtenberg and the other doctors have a lot of patients - so no matter what time or day of your appointment, you always seem to be the eighth, ninth, or 10th person there. Bring your phone charger and a good book. She's a very good doctor but the wait time can be murder: her receptionist staff is at best just okay. If you speak Russian, then they're probably much easier to understand.

I've gone to Dr. Trakhtenberg a few times over the years but if I didn't have to get check ups, I would not. The main thing that was a major concern for me was the way in which she talks to me.

When i told her about it, she did not seem to care. 3 weeks after my visit i did not receive any call backs or any sign of results of my tests. I tried to call and just got rude responses from Nella (receptionist) who said we do not call back customers unless there is something wrong. Honestly worst experience i've got with gynecologists so far

Although the receptionists seemed a bit cold in personality they were very professional and made my process of checking in smooth and simple. The doctor was very knowledgable in this field. I was very happy to know that the facility had the proper machinery to examine my ovaries in the office - preventing me from having to make another appointment elsewhere.

I went to Dr. Trakhtenberg with concerns about fertility. She did find a polyp and did a procedure to remove it. However, she was not interested in reviewing the data I had collected for 4 months which I thought could shed some light on the situation. She could smile more to put patients at ease.

I went to this office, I didn't feel very welcomed. The medical assistant didn't even take my weight or anything doctor office usually take. The receptionist wasn't rude but not welcoming either.

By far the BEST OBGYN a woman could ask for! If there are 10 stars to rate Dr. Trakhtenberg, I'd give her all the stars! I experienced her and her staff as highly professional, caring, and patient. Besides for an EXCELLENT bedside manner, she responded with sensitivity and genuine care. I highly recommend her, and wish for every woman to be under the care of such a doctor. THANK YOU Dr. Trakhenberg and your staff! PS: Great office hours!
