St. Claire Medical

Nice, personable doctor and pleasant staff! Will take you a minute to get used to the Doctor’s humor and then you will love it. I like that they have an online portal where you can send a message to the doctor directly, schedule appointments, see your results etc. Easy to find office by Columbus circle.

Dr. St Claire and his staff are the best of the best. I found them years ago after a friend referred me, and I can not say enough good things. Dr. St Claire is the most personable, funny, and caring doctor. He really makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to get to know you and always takes his time for his patients– like other reviews here have said, you can really tell that he cares about us and that’s very important when looking for the right Doctor, especially in NYC! Dr St Claire is a true gem in NYC and I’m so happy I found them. The whole staff treats you well and it’s just a very welcoming and nice environment there with more of a family feel. Unfortunately for me, Dr St Claire’s schedule fills up very quickly now (word must be getting around about how great he is), and I had to recently go to another doctor as I couldn’t get in to see Dr St Claire in time as he was really booked up– going to this other Doctor (who wasn’t even half as personable or nice as Dr St Claire– I didn’t like him much at all) made me realize even more how much I appreciate Dr St Claire and how lucky I am to have found such a wonderful medical practice. I will never be going back to that other doctors office again, there’s no one better than Dr St Claire and that last appointment elsewhere confirmed that– I will just need to start booking my appointments further in advance so that never has to happen again!

YES YES YES.
After years of trying to find a good, caring, pleasant, easy-​to-​get-​in-​contact-​with doctor in NYC – FINALLY!
This man is awesome. When I first got there I was greeted by the kindest lady, and when I was called back Dr. St. Claire came out to get me, shook my hand and took me into his office where we chatted. He listened, payed attention and asked questions BEFORE the exam. It was really nice, felt like he cared and he wasn’t rushing.
The nurse who took my blood and vitals was GREAT! [wish i remembered her name!!] She is also the one who called me with my lab results.
I felt like they cared and I would recommend that practice to ANYONE! THANK YOU ST. CLAIR MEDICAL!
Oh, I should also note, the first time I called there was a month wait – and I really wanted to get in, she said I could come in at 4PM that day [which I couldn’t swing with work] but that next Monday I called her again and asked to be put on the cancellation list – she called me back at 3PM that day and asked me to come Wednesday. AWESOME!

This man is a gem! He’s a country doctor in the heart of the city. Kind, compassionate, he listens, and, better yet, truly pays attention. I felt he took me in as a complete human being, and I was not rushed or dismissed in any way. His office and medical staff are fantastic, and the entire experience (my first visit with his office) was pure pleasure. He is a good natured man, and the good will and care flows throughout the office, which is clean and up to date in every way, down to healthy houseplants. I feel grateful and blessed to have found him.

I really really really wanted to like this practice since I was looking for new internist. Doctor was great and and nice staff but scheduling is extremely limited in comparison to other doctors. I get it he is not part of a big practice and left due to the fact he wanted to provide superior care I do. At the end of the day too difficult to schedule an appoitment.

The most considerate, accessible, caring, compassion, and helpful doctor I have ever encountered.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr St. Claire and his team. He has been the only doctor I have felt completely comfortable with, and he has an awesome personality. I look forward to my doctor visit instead of dreading it. The assistant Luisa is beyond friendly and always smiling, and let’s not forget about the fantastic nurses that make you laugh and relax. I feel lucky to have found him.

Dr. St. Claire is a rockstar. Started seeing him as my GP because I was sick and tired of visiting a practice where I was examined by «whoever was available.» This dude makes himself available. If you have a question, if you need an RX filled, if you feel crappy and need to schedule something, all good. Oh, and his first name is Elbert. YES. Elbert St. Claire. Like, did he come over on the Mayflower? I dunno. Does he wear an ascot at home? Maybe. But if you reach out via his patient portal even on a weekend, he’s responsive. He cares. Unilocal worthy to the maximum.

Dr. St. Clair has a quirky sense of humor and it took me a second to feel it out during my first appointment. After I understood his humor a bit, I felt as comfortable as I could possibly feel (while discussing personal things with someone you just met). He was very thorough and knowledgeable, quickly figuring out I had somehow pinched a nerve in my back. I very much appreciate how he was actually listening to what I was actually saying. I feel pretty in tune with and good at «listening to my body» so it’s nice to see a doctor who is good at listening to my observations and interpreting them properly. I feel completely confident in his diagnosis and about his doctorin’ skills, in general. It’s great to come away from an appointment feeling truly enlightened about what has been going on with my body.
Also, great staff! Very friendly.

Dr. St. Claire was wonderful. He obviously cares about his patients, which can be hard to find as I’ve encountered several doctors who only seem to be concerned with getting their patients’ money. He spent as much time with me as I needed. He was knowledgeable and helpful, and he seemed genuinely concerned about me. I will definitely keep him as my primary care doctor.

This was my first visit to st. Claire’s medical.
What a great team of medical professionals! The receptionist was warm and welcoming along with the medical assistant who was friendly and made me at ease. I really liked Dr Claire’s approach. He discussed all aspects of my health from mental to physical and not only the issue I was there to see him for. Overall I found him to be pleasant, professional and easy to talk to. I will definitely keep Dr Claire as my primary physician.

Dr. St. Clair is fantastic. His office staff is incredible and extremely responsive. He is attentive, patient, and in a rushed city like NYC, he manages to slow down the hectic pace a bit. He called me back within a day or two of my lab results, which is unheard of! Highly recommended!

Followed Dr. St Claire from his previous location at Yaffe and Asociates to his current location for a reason. He takes the time to listen carefully, knows the red flags and offers sound judgement and a reasonable plan of action. One reviewer said he was judgmental but its medical judgment not social or personal which is precisely what I want. The new office is comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. My understanding is that he left his previous location because he was forced to speed patients through so the practice would generate the most income which is completely antithetical to his philosophy (and most patients as well!). Hope to stay with this doc for a long time and would recommend him without reservation for someone looking for an outstanding primary care physician.

Dr. St. Claire didn’t make me feel comfortable as a patient at all. As a brand new patient to him, we went over my medical history and I felt some judgment on his part based off of his facial expressions and tone. It was very awkward and I felt very uncomfortable. Never felt that he was an attentive doctor and feel he has an awkward sense of humor. My last visit I left with no solution to my problem and no accurate medical advice. I went to another doctor who was able to help me right away and found very simple easy solutions to my issue.

Dr St Clair is great! Listens, highly educated, and partners with you to achieve a health plan. His office staff are wonderful. Completely unrushed experience. Calls within a day or 2 to discuss lab results and further care. What a find! Great doctor; compassionate, interested, and great personality. I highly recommend as your primary care physician.
