Virginia Marie Witt, MD

This woman is one of the best doctors in the USA. Period.
If you want mollycoddling she is not for you.
If you want an accurate diagnosis and treatment she is for you.
As others have said you can even discuss alternative treatments although she knows that personally I am not the world’s greatest believer in such treatments. She has on occasion explained why something might have a basis in science and I might try it. First do no harm.
The staff are both delightful.
Strangely I have had bloods from other doctors go missing but never from this practice.

One of the worst doctors I’ve ever been to. She’s not thorough at all. During my visit she went through a checklist of every possible illness in the world and asked me to say «yes» if I have anything.
After that I had to ask for a blood and urine test and I have a feeling that if I did not, I’d be dismissed with «you’re completely healthy». The blood test was taken without the nurse asking me if I was fasting that morning (that never happened with other doctors). I got a bruise on my vein from the test that stayed for a few days. The urine sample was sent off to a wrong laboratory that deals with heart disease (I don’t have heart problems), so I had to take time off work AGAIN and come back for a visit.
When I finally got the result I did not get any clear instructions on how to take the medication and the prescription was sent off directly to CVS without me even seeing it.
Dr. Witt’s attitude was patronizing: she made assumptions about my profession and talked like she knows everything. It seemed like she was rushing through the appointment and did not make me feel comfortable. The staff is not very welcoming either.
I never miss an opportunity to refer my friends and colleagues to good doctors, but this one will never get a good word from me.

Dr. Witt is really thorough in check-​ups and will not push extra tests on you unless you want them. She is really honest and direct about things and she doesn’t sugar coat anything. She also doesn’t seem to overbook, so you don’t spend a long time in the waiting room.

I’ve been going to Dr. Virginia Witt for years now. And here’s why:
— She’s my primary care and «girl doc».
— She’s Western medicine meets Eastern medicine, meaning she’s not going to push unnecessary meds. You know how some docs are quick to whip out the prescription pad and dole out pills? I can rely on Dr. Witt to offer homeopathic solutions when making recommendations on how to treat common ailments.
— She tells it like it is. I prefer straightforwardness when it comes to my health as opposed to doctors talking over my head.
— She is super, super accessible. You can e-​mail her before making an appointment to see if your ailment requires a visit to her office or if you have questions about your visit or condition.
— She treats you like a human being. None of this being shuttled like a farm animal from waiting room to examination room with minimal human contact and an icy reception. Her staff is nice and always laughing and smiling. Like humans. Go figure!
— She sees you quickly. Dr. Witt usually can find time on the calender to see people with minimal notice, which is nice. None of this «book three weeks in advance and hope you don’t go OTR unexpectedly and need to reschedule» nonsense (Ladies, you know what I’m talking about).
— I’ve never had to wait in the waiting room for hours on end while leafing through a tattered Reader’s Digest from 2009. Ever.
— Lots of insurance plans are taken.
— It’s close to the Hoboken PATH for those that are coming from out of the area.
I have recommended a bunch of my friends to her, and they all agree that she’s the best out there. You must be wondering why I am so enthusiastic about this medical office. No, I’m not a paid spokesman. I’ve had a string of super awful doctor experiences since moving to the NYC area and it is refreshing to find a female doctor who is compassionate and values my time.
So, if you are sick of waiting a million hours in a gross waiting room or having an indifferent doctor, I would highly recommend you look Dr. Witt up and get the treatment you deserve.
