Roy Lackey , MD

Very callous and dismissive towards his patient following a verbal altercation with a very confused front desk aide/​secretary who deals with patients with prejudice. I have never seen anyone who holds you responsible for doubts they have regarding your insurance company and asks you to clarify what doubts they have for them. Very unprofessional and unethical.

He is a caring, compassionate, smart, personable, great doctor. Very kind and attentive staff also. They are always available soon as you need them. My husband and I both go to see him.

There is something infinitely more satisfying about writing a good review of a doctor on Unilocal than writing a good review of a restaurant or clothing store.
Despite the fact that I work at the largest hospital in all of NYC, finding a primary care doctor here (…or for that matter, city wide) is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I’d have more luck finding a specialty doctor if I had Lyme’s Disease coupled with elephantiasis coupled with tuberculosis. Specialists? Tons of them! A PCP? So hard to find. But am I glad I found this one? YES.
I scheduled the appointment about two weeks prior for just a good ol’ fashioned check-​up. His staff over the phone was friendly. Upon arrival for my 9 a.m. appointment, he was there with my forms ready to be filled out. Dr. Lackey himself is personable and thorough. He asked me questions, and I was extremely comfortable asking him my own. It was a straight forward appointment, and quite frankly, that’s what I’m looking for in a doctor.
Side note: As a person that works in Epidemiology and infection control, seeing a doctor wash his hands before and after patient contact is always a welcomed thing for me. (Especially since my experience with other doctors has been less than perfect in that regard, just from making observations in my day to day line of work…)
I’m very pleased with Dr. Lackey, bottom line. I’m giving him a positive recommendation.
