Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best doctor in NYC!
I love Dr. Boester so much - she is incredibly calm, knowledgeable & caring. I just had my first about 6 weeks ago and our baby was breech so we had a scheduled c-section. Dr. Boester answered every single question and made us feel comfortable and prepared the entire time. She was so responsive and helpful throughout my whole pregnancy. She is amazing, can’t recommend her enough!!

Excellent care & very responsive
Her practice is very well run - I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes. She also was very understanding of all of my questions during my prenatal visits and responsive via the app. My husband and I loved working with her and her practice! Thank you!

I am seen right away always. Dr. Boester is to the point which I appreciate. She explains my results and what I need to do very clearly but also gives me a chance to ask any questions.

"Women have too much expectations for their birth"
Dr Boester told me: "These things happen! Women just have too much expectations for their childbirth just like for their wedding, it's just ONE DAY!" after acknowledging she was aware my EPIDURAL FAILED during my CESARIAN. That's what she told me when she came to see me in my hospital room 2 days after the birth. She was my regular OB but was not the one there during the unplanned cesarian. Totally inappropriate and insensitive comment. I had PTSD from the experience but she only screened me for PPD at my 6 weeks checkup so she missed that unsurprising diagnosis. I didn't seek proper care until I hired a post-partum doola who pointed out I had PTSD symptoms.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Horrible! The very least a Doctor can do is look at a patients chart before they see them. Never followed up, never checked in, gave wrong advice every step of the way. I can't begin to tell you how disappointed we were by this Doctor and her practice. You can do A LOT better than this.

Dr. Boester was excellent, very kind, had great bedside manner and made my first prenatal appointment so fun and easy. She alleviated all of my concerns and answered all questions I had being that this is my first pregnancy. My blood work was done rapidly and it was so nice to see all results sooner than expected. It was great that she reaches out to you personally to review this information and plan for next steps. The facility is professional, clean, and I am looking forward to continuing my prenatal care with Weil Cornell.
