Untrustworthy!
Went to Dr. Comrie for my first pregnancy. I came to my appointments a minimum of 15 minutes early, and every time I had to wait a little over 3.5 hours to be seen by the doctor. Total visit time was usually 4 hours, by the time you get out of the office.
Was a high risk pregnancy due to my age, and I wanted frequent visits in the first trimester to be sure everything was going smoothly, but Dr. Comrie only saw me every 2 weeks. When I was told to call Dr. Comrie for important test results, she never EVER got back to my numerous calls and messages. I had to wait until my next visit to learn of my results and make the necessary adjustments. I lost my baby after the first trimester and had to have a D&C at Maimonides Hospital. Dr. Comrie performed the operation, but failed to prescribe any anti-​biotics, even after I discussed it with her and told her I wanted to take them to be on the safe side. A matter of 2 days later I was in horrible debilitating pain due to a serious infection that resulted from the surgery. When I tried to follow up with Dr. Comrie I found out that she had left the country for 3 weeks. She never prepared me for that, never mentioned that I would have to follow up with a different OBGYN. The OBGYN who did fill in for her, over the phone barely spoke English. I was unable to understand her. My husband had to drive me to the ER where the doctors were shocked that I hadn’t been put on antibiotics after the D&C, and told me I had a very serious infection, that could have affected my fertility!
PLEASE do not go to Dr. Comrie. While, she may have a warm smile, and hug her patients, she also is careless and neglectful when it comes to her patients’ care. Your health and the health of your children are worth so much. Don’t put your trust in this office!!!

Hi, I was recommended by my primary Dr. and Was given a quick appt of my surprise. However, my primary Dr. Also gave me appts for my mama gram diagnostic lab testing and his test so that my first visit with Dr Comrie would have my medical back ground. I say this to say that my Dr understood the through screen of Dr Comrie. She really looks for the information.
I had my first visit with her April and my surgery was October. It would have been sooner if LIC hadnt closed. I was released within four days, no pain and no pills. We’re talking major surgery!!! Plus I had a terrible scar from a c-​section over thirty years ago and she corrected that.
Let’s talk about the wait. Who do you know that want to see an empty GYN office. When you see her following and listen to the testimonies of her patients you’ll get why people wait including husbands and boyfriends.
So either you’re looking for a gooooooood physician or you’re not !!!

This is the absolute oddest review I’ve ever written…
November 2013, I made an appointment for the first available appointment — Feb 2014.
A week before my appointment something came up and I desperately needed to cancel. I have called morning/​afternoon and right before closing every day for the past 4 days and have NOT been able to get through.
NO answer, NO answering service, NO nurse, NO receptionist, just ringing! After @4 mins of ringing your call is disconnected. Try it, it’s bizarre.
I literally got on the subway to physically go to the office to CANCEL in order to avoid being charged a no-​show fee.
I hear she’s a great practitioner but this is absolutely ridiculous. After reading other reviews, I may have dodged a bullet on this one.
Could you imagine needing urgent care and no one answers the phones?
What kind of outfit is this?!

Dr. Comrie came highly recommended. Complete strangers were recommending her to me. Although the wait time can be between 1 – 4 hours; not gonna lie, it definitely will help to develop your patience:). It’s so worth the wait. Dr. Comrie is simply amazing! She is very thorough, personable, caring, warm, super intelligent, thoughtful, etc. Truthfully, I can’t say enough about her. I think she is awesome! Well worth the wait. I cannot be anymore pleased with her. Three thumbs up!!! :)

Really though… without question Dr Comrie is probably my favorite person ever…
She’s an amazing doctor, and even better person! She’s been a physician to my family for years (my sister Klysha Unilocaled about her too! Check it out below!) along with Dr Blanchett who was equally amazing but no longer with the practice.
No matter the time Dr. Comrie or one of her staff members are available to talk to me fixing any worry I may have.
YES, THE WAIT IS LONG! But for the quality of service and care that you get from from Dr. Comrie, I believe that its is worth it.

I feel bad giving such a low score because the doctor was nice, but I refuse to come back here. The wait was long, but not atypical of most OB-​GYN offices. But between the rude and disinterested staff (one nurse walked out on me during intake because «I want to go to lunch» then I sat there like an idiot for 15 minutes until the next nurse walked in, who was extremely rude), the run down facilities, and the fact that I was literally stepping over people who were waiting in the hallways, it was a miserable 2 ½ hours of my life that I’ll never get back.

Dr. Comrie is an amazing doctor. I went to her on-​and-​off for nearly 10 years. The times that I went to another doctor was because of timing/​the wait at her office.
When I found out that I was pregnant, I knew that despite the fact that I had scene other doctors, she was the one that I wanted to experience this journey with.
For the most part, I did not have any complication during my pregnancy. Until, my water broke unexpectedly, nearly 2 months before my due date. I was hospitalized and given steroid shots to help develop the babies lungs.
Easter weekend, Dr. Comrie told me that she had personal family matters that she had to attend to and that if anything happened her partner would deliver the baby and was aware of my case, etc. Well, on Easter Sunday I was having heavy contractions and despite efforts to prolong my pregnancy, I was told by the nurse that I would most likely have to deliver the baby that day.
To my surprise Dr. Comrie came in and delivered the baby instead of her partner. When I started to cry with concern about what was going on she said «everything is going to be okay, that’s why I came because I knew you would be scared.» To this day, I tear up thinking about that moment. She didn’t have to do that. I am sure that her partner would have done a great job. After I gave birth she checked up on me. My daughter had to stay in the NICU for a while and of course, I was sad and depressed. One day while visiting my daughter, I saw Dr. Comrie in the hall of the hospital and she pulled me aside and gave me the «pep talk» that I needed to be there for my daughter and be thankful for my little blessing instead of seeing the negative part (that she was still in the NICU).
I have recommended other folks to her and the only thing they’ve complained about is the wait. She cares about her patients and is worth the wait.

I LOVE Dr. Comrie. I agree with others. The wait time is CRAZY. But I actually bonded with some of the other women. I went to another Dr. Before Dr. Comrie, he had tons of accolades but he misdiagnosed with fibroids and a day before my myomectomy, it was discovered that I did not have any fibroids. I lost my baby during that time and had to have a DNC administered by the same doctor who botched that up too. I went to Dr. Comrie who prayed with me and told me I would have a baby in a year. Despite the damage the previous doctor had done. And guess what… I had a beautiful baby boy delivered by her. I hated the wait but I hate working with an incompetent doctor even more. Dr. Comrie is the only GYN I trust.

As some others have said Dr Comrie is the BEST DOCTOR IS THE WHOLE WORLD! I’ve been going to see her for almost 3 decades: o! Yes the wait is LOOOONG but if you bring something to occupy yourself you should be fine.
Yes her staff can be iffy and not the best but I go to the Doctor for the Doctor not their staff.
I say she is the best because she takes the time to see you. A meeting in her office to start for you to tell her what is going on and what you are concerned about. Then a meeting into the cold clamps to see what is going on in your lady parts. Then a meeting back in her office to discuss what she may have found, get a script or refill and a second chance to talk about things (cause maybe you were embarrassed the 1^st time). That to me is good medical care!
I think the problem is that she got so popular (she was rated in the New Yorker mag best doctors in the city a few years in a row). So everyone wants to see her. That equals long waiting times and some hectic scheduling.
My tenure with Dr Comrie has spanned her before popular to her during popular periods and you will not find a doctor more caring IMO.
If you can get into see her, do so but lower your staff & wait expectations and you will be ok :)

One of the worst offices I’ve been to. I can’t complain about the Dr., because I’ve seen another doctor there, but the office premises and staff are the worst. First, i had to wait for 4 hours. They said there are three more women who have my 1pm appointment, so I certainly wouldn’t make it at 1pm. The staff is extremely rude, and the whole place is crowded. I was taken inside to give a urine test, and saw rows of other patients’ urine in the bathroom, which was pretty disturbing. Also, I’m pretty sure my sample got mixed up with someone else’s — I was observing a technician analyzing urine tests (oh yeah, you’ll have that opportunity as well because the office is so crowded that they make you wait standing in front of the urine lab) and she didnt seem to pay any attention whatsoever on the names on the sample cups. The doctor’s appointment was very quick, no attention paid to personal concerns.

Dr. C
Has been my gyn for almost two decades, her expertise is phenomenal and it goes with her charm and her motherly attentiveness. The staff is professional and always tries to accommodate. Yes, the wait is excruciating so bring a magazine, a novel, or even use your iPhone to play a game or games or simply to text. I beg not to talk on the cell phone while at the doctor’s office no one cares to hear your long drawn tales or the tales of the another person. Unless you are able to speak on a cell phone in low tone.

I want to help other Moms-​To-​Be out there by posting my experiences with Dr. Comrie. I went to her for two months in my first trimester and not only were the wait times extremely long (3 hours and 15 minutes average), the care isn’t that great. Dr. Comrie is nice enough in person, but when I needed her to call me back with bloodwork results, it took her FIVE days, and I called EVERY DAY to leave a message. I needed her to tell me whether I needed to continue progesterone treatment AND wanted the results of my Downs Syndrome test, two very important test results. I ended up running out of my perscription because she didn’t call back. As a first time Mom-​To-​Be, this was unacceptable to me. I switched doctors after this and there is a world of difference. With my new doctor, the wait time is 30 – 45 minutes, and in an emergency you walk right in. She is responsive and wonderful. You don’t have to put up with the insanity at Dr. Comrie’s office. She has too many patients and can’t give you or your baby the time and effort you deserve.

Dr. Comrie is THE best doctor ever. She is a warm, compassionate, mother like person. She is extremely smart and careful. She remembers everything and is always very detailed. She and her partner Dr. Blanchette (Dr. B) are wonderful. Seriously, if you are searching for an OB GYN these are the doctors to visit.
Be warned, they are both extremely popular and getting a quick appointment is difficult. Additionally, the wait at the office can be a bit long, but they are well worth it.
Side note: I have had two children with her and have been going to her for 13 years; I trust her with my life.
