Ketly Michel, MD

I would not believe the internet trolls that are posting negative reviews about this wonderful woman. It is very sad that they have this much power on the internet.
Dr. Michel is a terrific physician. I have been under her care for the past 20 yeas and have always experienced her as a warm, kind, generous, thoughtful and amazing human being. In addition, her expertise in her field is extraordinary. Many blessings to the lovely Dr. Ketly Michel and her awesome staff.

I was referred to Dr. Michel by an acquaintance. Due to my current job assignment, I have an international insurance that is not immediately known by most people. After speaking with two people in this office and receiving no assistance, I contacted my insurance company who reached out to them to verify that they do accept my health insurance. My insurance company then emailed me to let me know that they spoke with the office manager and that I could now call and make an appointment. When I called again to make an appointment I was told, «just because we accept your health insurance does not mean we have to and at this time we are not taking new patients with your insurance». Given the fact that this woman never heard of my insurance before this pretty much translates to, we don’t want to take you at this time. Dr. Michel should be ashamed of such service and for denying medical care to female working class citizens.

Good luck trying to get in contact with the office. I called a total of three times: the first two times I was put on hold immediately and then hung up on, and the third time the receptionist hung up on me right after I asked if the doctor was accepting new patients. Rudeness is a sure fire way to not receive any new patients so I guess their job is done. A simple «no» would have sufficed…

best doc I have ever had. have been going to her for 10years since I was in my early 20s. dr michel is very compassionate. she is clear and informative. stays up to date on her craft. her staff is also very good. stephanie is fantastic. dr michel takes your insurance as it changes as opposed to most docs in nyc who tell you that you have to change doctors or pay out of pocket. highly recommend

Dr. Michel has been my oB/​GYN for years now (I would say about 20 yrs now. She was my mother’s, both my sisters’ and 1 cousin’s OB/​GYN. She delivered my son, 2 of my nieces and 2 nephews. She is knowledgeable and knows her job well. She always asks about my family, my husband and child even if it’s while she’s getting to work. I’ve never gone there and felt she did not care or was not focused on me at the moment. She’s extremely busy but makes it a point to hear you, answer your questions and call back when you need her to. She’s not a mushy hand– holder, she expects Us women to be tough and knowledgable about our own bodies but understands that emotions come with the pregnancy package but again, she’s not our mother — she’s our doctor, so she naturally can not do her job super well, be as busy as she is and at the same time get wrapped up in our feelings while preggers– can u imagine ?! She would be a basket case! So don’t believe the 1 comment about her bad bedside manner. She will take care of you and your baby. Get your emotional needs met by your hubby or family — you want a doctor that knows her job and cares about you and your baby. I recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic OB/​GYN, no buts about it.

Amazing person she is the best doctor I know .
Dedicated, professional a very nice person
She took care of the delivery of my daughter and did it with so much care that It went very smooth
Definitely a very nice experience with that doctor. My wife was extremely pleased with her and the consistent follow up that she had

Best Doctor hands down!!! She delivered both my children and stayed with me from the first till the last contraction, all night both times. Every day after delivery she kept checking on me and giving me free stuff such as formula, diapers, etc. She knows me, my husband and both my children by their names and is always excited to see me during my annual checkup. We moved to New Jersey 4 years ago and I just can’t give up on such a great doctor and still keep going to her office although it is kind of an inconvenience with commute, etc. just because I know I will never find someone like her again.

I have seen Dr. Michel for over 12 years. There is no one else I could imagine or consider going to that has her deep knowledge, skill, empathy and level of accessibility and responsiveness. Before I was a mother, as a new mother with a baby unexpectedly in critical condition and in the NICU at two hospitals and currently as a patient, there is no one else I would want by my side as a advocate and navigating me through these processes and experiences. My daughter is now looking forward to being her patient.

Dr. Michel is the best doctor I have ever been to. When I became pregnant for the first time, I went to another OB-​GYN and had a horrible experience. Let’s just say that just because one is on Park Ave, it doesn’t make them a good doctor. I went to my first appointment with Dr. Michel with my husband, and she was warm and welcoming to both of us, performed a sonogram and was able to pinpoint, within half a week, the age of the fetus. Her professionalism and expertise are unparalleled. If I have a sonogram at Lenox Hill, with which she is affiliated, she calls me with the results as we are literally walking back home. If it’s a blood test, she calls as soon as she gets the results, even at 9 pm. Dr. Michel is a fantastic doctor, I trust her with my life and this pregnancy, she answers any questions we have and anticipates any other one that may arise. I am so glad I found her. I have since recommended her to anyone who would listen.

I guess this doctor is nice to most people but she was extremely insensitive towards me. I went in for a routine check up which was fine and then I got an ultrasound and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Upon breaking this news to me I was pretty upset having seen what my mom was going through with the same thing. She proceeded to say“why do you look so upset? You’re not going to die.” Mind you this is after she tells me I have 3 fibroids and 1 large one at the young age of 21, sorry I was upset about my life becoming more complicated. She also later prematurely diagnosed me with endometriosis as well just because I have what was later diagnosed as ovulation spotting. I also had a cyst on my ovary that went away which is not indicative of endometriosis. She diagnosed me without ever even doing the surgery that diagnoses it which is the only way to know. She also told me I had to go on bc pills to stop the disease «I had» from growing more. After going on the pill I had horrible stomach pain when I got my first period and mind you my period was fine before going on bc. I had cramps but never missed work over it. After starting the pill I had to call out once a month due to the stomach pain and spent a trip in the er. When I explained that to her she told me it was the endometriosis. What? I was better off before the pills. She only suggested to put me on a stronger dose and told me I needed surgery. Since then I’ve been to two other doctors and neither of them think I have endometriosis. In fact I’ve been off bc pills for over a year, changed my diet and started exercising. My period have been shorter and less painful. If I had endometriosis it didn’t make sense that my symptoms would get better instead of worse without any medication. Glad I’m never seeing her again. She costed me unnecessary emotional stress.

Dr. Michel is the best OB/​Gyn ever! Hands down no one else compares to the care this woman gives her patients.
Before seeing Dr. Michel I bounced around a few clinics and private doctors trying to find the right person. That is until a very good friend recommended I try her doctor, Dr. Michel. I’m so glad I did. From the very beginning Dr. Michel was kind, thorough, thoughtful and just awesome. She knows her stuff and doesn’t play games when it comes to the health and well being of her patients. She’s the type of doctor that will call you on a Saturday just to give you your test results which we all know equals peace of mind.
It’s been 2 years since my first visit with Dr. Michel and I can finally say I have a doctor who not only knows my name but knows me and cares about my well being. I’m 9 months pregnant and Dr. Michel has been there guiding me through this pregnancy. I’m not the least bit worried about labor and delivery, I trust my doctor. That’s a great feeling. I have no complaints, one the best decision I’ve ever made is choosing her as my doctor.
There is sometimes a wait but that’s only because she is a sole practitioner. So at times she’s delivering a baby and if you want to see her you wait. Other times she’s just seeing other patients and you have to wait but she is worth the wait. Trust me!

Plain and simple: Dr. Michel saved my life. There is no one like her. I had a high risk pregnancy that turned south very quickly when I developed high blood pressure. Throughout my pregnancy, Dr. Michel sent me to the emergency room for the issues I had and she met me there every time. I have never had a doctor do that. In addition, she created a team of experts for me; a high risk doctor, a high blood pressure doctor and herself. All three doctors were top notch and my son was born early but HEALTHY! I am convinced that if Dr. Michel wasn’t managing my care, things would not have turned out so well for me or my son. I was facing an early delivery the entire time and I believe it was her care and attentiveness that allowed my body to delay delivery for long as it did. When I was truly pre-​eclampsic, she delivered my son immediately without delay and despite the holiday. And she visited my son in the NICU several times. But now that I have delivered, she has given me advice on how to achieve my own wellness goals. She is trying to make sure that I become a healthy woman and eradicate the HBP that is sill here.
A lot of doctors won’t consult other opinions. She had the knowledge to manage my case on her own but she wanted other experts to consult and confirm her decisions. And now I have a top-​notch HBP doctor for my after care. I respect her so much for that. I do everything Dr. Michel tells me to do and I listen because she is correct all the time and I don’t want to miss her instructions. Dr. Michel is the best and my saying it doesn’t make it so. I see how people respect her in her environment at the hospital and I know that her colleagues are thinking it when they deal with her. It is her own ethic that I witnessed at the hospital when I was there for a week. She is the real deal. If you value your life, have a high risk pregnancy, or want to be a healthy woman, get Dr. Michel on board. You will be so happy you did.

Dr. Michel is THE best OB/​GYN I have ever had. She delivered my second child and I wish that I found her before to deliver my first. Even though the wait is VERY LONG most times, she makes it so worth it.
Every single visit I was able to see my baby via ultra sound. She is caring compassionate and really knows what she is doing. She predicted the EXACT date of my delivery! After my son was delivered, he needed to be warmed and she stayed until she knew all was well. My husband was very pleased as he was able to «catch» my son as he was being delivered… the first doctor wouldn’t even entertain the thought. She also circumcised my son and my pediatrician said it was the BEST she’s ever seen. I can go on and on… I highly recommend her.

I have used Dr. Michel for the last 10 years. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and very experienced. She has a wonderful office staff who are very responsive. I highly recommend her.

I called to try and make an appointment and was told that they dont take new patients, I thought that was strange so I asked if she could help me out in finding someone in the area since I am new to the area, instead of just saying she didnt know of any, she said «we dont do that kind of thing» and hung up, not even a courtesy «im sorry i cant help»
Im glad they dont take new patients, such a callous response from support staff doesn’t reflect well on the doctor.

Love Dr. Michel!!! She delivered both of my children. She is a wonderful, caring, loving and good person. Unfortunately I can’t go back to her offie since my daughter passed away from SIDS 3 years ago. The only down fall is there is a TREMENDOUS wait in her office but that is because she is extremely thorough and caring about all her patients. The old office was very crowded and small but I believe she moved to another office. Definitely recommend!
