Doctor Recommendation in NYC

January 8, 2009 4:29 AM

Can you help me find a great primary care doc and a ob-gyn who take Cigna in NYC!? Help!

I keep losing my docs. Please help me find a great doc and girly doc who accept Cigna! My current docs are horrible.

I'm pretty sure they take Cigna -- Dr. Ruth Lesnewski at East 13th Street family practice is my regular doc and my OB/GYN (link here -- it will resize your browser window, be warned). She's very sweet. I've also seen two other people at East 13th Street when she wasn't in, and both were good (Dr. Ginger Gillespie is also an OB/GYN, and the one time I made an emergency visit, there was a guy with the delightful name "Dr. Teets" who had just the right kind of sense of humor I like in doctors).

For gyn, I see Dr. White at Spring ObGyn. I've only seen her once so far, so I'm not qualified to rave, but she was pretty good. When I was googling around I read mostly good things about the other docs there, too, if you want to check them out. (For example.)

Primary care, I'm still searching, too.

Try Dr. Katherine Keil on W. 14th. She's a primary care doc and she is WONDERFUL! I'm 98% sure she takes Cigna.

Dr. Bruce Champagne on 3rd avenue around 16th street. Primary care. He is great.
