Mitchell Essig, MD

I’ve been going to see Dr. Essig for maybe a few years now. I really have no complaints about his work. He is very thorough and was always kind to me. Over the years in pockets I have had encounters with his reception and staff mostly who can be a little arrogant, but I keep my cool. The last week and a-half has been very busy at work with additional personal stresses, and I’ve needed to reschedule twice. The first time, over the phone she laughed at my question if he could see me on a particular day that I guess he isn’t in the office. Extremely patronizing. That upset me greatly as it is normal to reschedule a doctors appointment. She asked me about 2-3 times if I would make the next appointment and even wanted to send me to a different office of his on the west side when I always go to the east side location, which I thought was strange. Second go round again very very hostile, rude, and disrespectful. This morning unfortunately her continuous harassment of calls and her tone of voice just put me over the edge, as she’s talking over me I told her to please make a copy of my records to have them sent over to me so I can go see a new gynecologist. She then hangs up while I was speaking to confirm my email! Also, I sometimes find the office to be dusty and not taken care of a way a gynecologist or any office should be. Do better!!

I visited the Tribeca location. I was impressed with the punctuality as they got me in on time, allowing me to avoid any unnecessary waiting. Throughout my visit, everyone I encountered, from the staff to the ultrasound tech, was genuinely nice and helpful, creating a welcoming environment. The highlight of the appointment was the doctor himself Dr. Mitchell Essig, MD. He took his time to thoroughly address my concerns, demonstrating a genuine interest in my well-being. It was evident that he wasn't just going through the motions; he possessed extensive knowledge and expertise in his field. Moreover, his strong communication / active listening skills allowed me to understand him and ensured that I felt heard and understood. I also appreciated the doctor's positive demeanor, which made me feel at ease and relieved rather than overwhelmed. This was a refreshing change from previous experiences I've had at other doctor's offices. Overall, I had a fantastic experience during my appointment, thanks to the professionalism, knowledge, and communication skills of the doctor and the supportive staff. I would highly recommend their services to others.

I visited this doctor about 2 years ago. But I leave the review now because on that time I was new in U.S and I couldn’t speak English very well . But now I feel I must aware the people going to this doctor because it’s about SEXUAL HARASSMENT . I went there because he was only doctor that I found who accepts medicate for fertility issues. He looks friendly and knowledgeable BUT too friendly he was touching me in any way he could , Under the title of comforting me . from second visit he told his nurse to not coming inside the exam room while he was doing Vaginal ultrasound, she was behind the door and while he was doing, he started caressing my leg . I didn’t knew what to do I was sooo uncomfortable and I shake my leg to not doing it but he said oh it’s painful it’s ok will be done . And when we came out of the room, he put his hand around my shoulder to comfort me that I will definitely have a baby this time ….. I was very uncomfortable in whole treatment process but i couldn’t quite because I needed a doctor and it was in middle of the treatment. I took my husband after that to prevent unwanted touch . I didn’t get results on my first IUI but I didn’t continue because I was so angry about his unprofessional behavior. Also the front desk lady was so bossy and unfriendly if you really have to go to this doctor I suggest you to not go alone or speak up if you don’t like his manors.

Trying for 4 years multiple doctors overseas here and Dr Essig explained everything and tried the best possible treatment for me! He said we can try and it was successful! Hava the front desk medical assistant and Dr Essig are absolutely helpful hopeful and great! I came all the way from Long Island and can’t thank the team enough!

Visiting Dr. Essig has been a great experience. He is a wonderful doctor, and very humane with compassionate bedside manners. He listens to you which is extremelly important and offers options that best work for you. He does take the time to take your concerns and values into account so you can decide on the proper and most convenient treatment. It is really unusual nowdays to find doctors in the US with great humanistic and vocational values. Dr. Essig is one of those. Priceless experience. I also have to comment and acknowledge that I loved the office staff. They are very warm of heart, very professional, accommodating, compassionate, approachable, corteous, respectful, lovely and supportive. Great humanistic customer service. Looking forward to coming back! I highly recommend Dr. Essig.

I started seeing Dr. Essig recently to conceive for the first time. He is warm and personable, but feel anxious during the few encounters I've had so far. The front office manager could not be more disingenuous and dismissive. She has been offensive with each encounter both in person and over the phone. This is a new process for me, and the way in which I am treated leaves me feeling awful.

Dr. Essig is hands down the best OB-GYN I've ever met. And the women in his office are just the nicest most helpful staff. I went to see him after not seeing a lady doctor in years. I am 41 years old. Never had a mammogram. Haven't had a pap since 2016. And I'm trying to find out of I can have kids. Before having me get in the stirrups, Dr. Essig invites me to his office. He is is efficient and compassionate. He asked me questions about my history and gave me the scoop on how fertility treatment will work. If it weren't for Covid, I would have hugged him. If you are looking for a an experienced, caring doctor with a competent and kind front office staff - GO SEE DR. ESSIG!

Dr Essig is a warm human being with great bed side manner but he has started missing things off late AND is masquerading as a fertility expert, which he is not. He misdiagnosed my fertility test results on 3 different occasions, I wasted 4 months thanks to him. Even as to general obgyn needs, his office is horribly out of date, equipment, cleanliness, etc. Either his staff is bugling up or as a means to fleece his customers to force a visit even to consult on minor issues or request a prescription refill, his staff forces an office visit. Talking about his staff - His staff is absolutely the worst. Chava thinks she is a doctor herself. She is always reluctant to call in prescriptions. The staff fleeces insurance -- more than once I have seen bills for procedures not performed. Completely unhelpful.

I cant say enough and praise Dr. Essig for his excellence, knowledge and care for his patients. Also the front desk staff including Hava were very pleasant and attentive at all times during my very frequent visits. I highly recommend Dr. Essig’s clinic if you are considering pregnancy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Essig for over 15 years. He has delivered not only derived my son but I can thank him for my son being born. He is one of the best most knowledgeable doctors I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
