Adrienne L Simone, MD

I have been a patient for many many years. Dr Simone is so knowledgable and caring.
She allows ample time for each appointment (so there is never a long wait) and generously spends that time with each patient. …and really listens. I never leave there with unanswered questions. I’m so grateful that she takes the time to really know me. She is a lovely doctor who truly cares about her patients.
I highly recommend Dr Simone!

Whenever I read reviews online, I would always discount those that say «doctor x really listened», because I thought a good doctor should be assessed on their skill to treat you, rather than on their bedside manner. Well, having been now to many doctors who ‘listened’ to my problem but still avoided treating it because insufficient evidence came up in bloodwork and other tests, I feel differently about the importance (and meaning) of listening. Dr Simone *really* listened. She told me that I know myself and my body better than test results. She didn’t dismiss my online research, and didn’t get impatient. We discussed together potential treatment options and she started me on the treatment I’ve known I needed for ages. Every doctor will ask you what the problem is — but not every doctor will truly listen to your answer. I can’t recommend Dr Simone enough!

I highly recommend visiting Dr. Simone. The gynecologist has always been my least favorite place to be, it always freaked me out and made me feel so awkward. But Dr. Simone really is amazing and makes you feel very comfortable. Most places in NYC treat you as if you are «just another patient» but she truly does not. Like many reviews have said, she takes time with you and genuinely cares. I’m very sad because I will no longer be a patient of hers as I am moving back home to Wisconsin. I can’t stress enough how fabulous she really is. If you are looking for a new gynecologist do not pass up Dr. Simone, you would be very lucky to have her.

Best GYN
I have been a patient for over 20 years and in that time I have encountered other GYN doctors that should return their degrees.
Dr. Simmone knows what she is doing, will get to the point and make you feel like family. Her office is always inviting and her staff stellar.
If you need excellent care then you should definitely make an appointment with her office.

I first visited Dr. Simone about 12 years ago when no other OB/​GYN could solve a year-​long problem that I was having. She figured it out in the first visit and I’ve been a fan ever since. Life changes/​finances hadn’t permitted me to visit her consistently over the years, but every time I need the best medical help possible, I go to her. She is worth every penny, and I trust her with my health like few other doctors I’ve seen throughout my life thus far. She’s that good.

The absolute best! Had to leave her years ago when I got pregnant, but after the birth of my second child (and about six different OBs — ugh) I went straight back to her. Definitely worth the out-​of-​pocket. Wish all my docs had just half her bedside manner and medical knowledge.

I’ve only ever been to one other gyno besides Dr. Simone and absolutely hated her. I’m so happy I found Dr. Simone! She is so personable and caring, not to mention smart and incredibly good at what she does. Before my exam, she sat with me for about 30 minutes in her office asking me questions about my history and other things. I’ve never experienced that at any other office and I loved it! The actual exam was as quick and painless as it possibly could be. Her assistant Yhira is incredible as well; so sweet and attentive!
You won’t regret seeing Dr. Simone!

Incredibly reliable, caring, doesn’t rush you out and extremely to the point — but not in a brusque way.
I’ve been seeing Dr Simone for about 10 years with some other exams from Planned Parenthood in between when funds were tight. The Planned Parenthood exams were more like a conveyor belt, but that’s to be expected.
She does not accept ANY insurance which is fine by me.
Her assistant Yhira is also fantastic. My address and contact number changed, and they needed to get ahold of me to tell me Pap results. She seriously went on the internet and found me on Twitter, sent me a message, and I responded immediately. While finding a patient on the internet is not hard to do, when health care professionals go out of their way and take that care, it’s amazing.

I recently moved to NYC and I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Simone by someone. She is a lovely person and incredible physician.
I was amazed when I was taken first not to an exam room, but Dr. Simone’s office. She sat with me for an hour, going over my history, asking questions, taking copious notes, and answering my many questions before my exam. She was never in a hurry and great at explaining everything. I’ve never had a GYN spend that much time with me. I like that she focuses on you as a whole patient, not just the GYN part, and is open to an integrative approach. Since this was my yearly check up, she ran required lab work on me as well. I appreciated her being so thorough.
She called me personally to share the lab results, and again wasn’t rushed. Plus, her office assistant is extremely sweet and helpful. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Simone more.

I am not a new patient of Dr. Simone and will refuse to see anyone else regardless of out of pocket expenses. Money well spent! She spends a good amount of time discussing any issues and questions you may have. She gives great quality care and examinations. She is terrific!

When women choose a OB/​GYN, they should be pretty picky, and I went to Dr. Simone for two years paying out of pocket (my insurance was not in her network) because frankly, she’s worth the money.
She does not overbook, which is almost a shame since the view from the waiting room window while you recline on the leather couch is gorgeous (Lower Manhattan south). Her receptionist, Yahira, is as amazing as the view. Also, she might be the most efficient and helfulp women I have literally encountered in all of medicine.
Once in the office, you sit and talk to figure out your needs before there is any physical examination. She takes notes on what is going in your life to try to get a better idea of how any treatments can help or if you have any risk factors. While she can be a little bit invasive compared to other doctors, this will only be to your benefit. Frankly, I think it was the sheer lack of concern from my doctors in the past that left me so confused when she actually wanted to talk for 20 minutes before the physical.
The physical is thorough and not at all awkward (as not awkward as an internal exam can be…). There is a fertility goddess decoration thing I could live without, but other than that, the exam rooms are pristine.
Lastly, many women use their OB/GYN’s as their primary physicians these days and recently she was indispensible to me in that regard. Basically, if you’re new to town and/​or tired of cold/​creepy/​impersonal doctors, I could not recommend her more.
