Coyne John A, MD

I’ve been going to Dr. John Coyne for over 20 years and find him to be the best doctor I’ve ever known. He’s highly skilled, puts his patients well-​being ahead of monetary gain and he’s very, very honest. Dr. Coyne will never recommend a procedure or prescribe medication unless it’s absolutely necessary. he’s both an excellent doctor and a wonderful human being.
I’m writing this because I’m deeply offended by the «review» posted by Emily M., who apparently is trying to drum up business for her father’s practice by denigrating another doctor. Emily, if your father is such a great physician, why didn’t you send your herpes friend to him in the first place? Your review wasn’t thoughtful, it was vicious, and tells me all I need to know about your dad.

I started seeing Dr. Coyne about a year ago. After a string of internists who were impossible to get appointments with I was relieved to find him, because his office is very flexible when they need to be. This is what I need in an internist, because sometimes I get sick! I’m pretty surprised with how many other internists have no time to see patients that require immediate medical attention (but not severe enough to require the ER). Now I know if I get a sinus infection and really need to see someone fast, I will have that opportunity. It’s a load off my mind.
The environment in the office is very intimate… it does have a nostalgic feeling that the other reviewers spoke about. To my knowledge there’s only one other person who works there, a very nice and competent person who handles the front desk. All the scheduling, referrals, etc. She’s very friendly, which is obviously not «required» but is a definite plus in a time in healthcare when I can normally expect someone handling scheduling to seem both cranky and heartless.
Dr. Coyne is not quick to hand out something that you don’t need, but if you do need it, you get it. He’s careful to track medications and medical history, which makes me feel very secure. Bedside manner is good. He doesn’t coddle you but he’s not rude, he’s just professional. I noticed he’s pretty sensitive and non-​judgmental when it comes to handling delicate situations. I have a condition that can sometimes get much better with diet and weight loss. He managed telling me that without making me feel I was a lazy slob. :-P That is not an easy conversation to maneuver so I was impressed. He’s great! I’m grateful to have found him.

Went for a job physical. between his office and secretary, it gives you a feeling of nostalgia, back to the days where a doctor could potentially be a friend of yours for 20 years. Not the billing factories most doctors offices have become. For this, I enjoyed going to Dr. Coyne.

Going to Dr. Coyne is like stepping into a time machine in every good way. The staff consists of himself and his receptionist. He provides all of the care, including drawing blood, etc. Takes his time to discuss your condition. My care has been routine and I have never had a problem with treatment. If you want personalized health care this is the practice for you.

this man is a terrible doctor. me friend recently went to him to get tested for the herpes virus, and was advised not to get the test, for, since he was showing no symptoms, knowing he had it would cause him guilt that he would otherwise not have when he was with women. It is my common opinon that it should be in a doctor’s best interest to care about the health and well being of his fellow humans. although my friend was showing no symptoms, he very well could have passed on the virus to a woman, who experienced extreme and painful symptoms for the rest of her life. this doctor’s behavior was irresponsible and innappropriate. i feel as though hes worthy of losing his license to practice medicine. fortunately my friend did not take Dr. Coynes advise, and he chose to have the test done anyway, but this was not without condescention and scrutny of his decision on part of the doctor. i recommend that everyone stay away from Dr. Coyne. he probably has herpes. if you need an internist, check new york magazine’s best doctors in new york list. my father is on it, and hes a real doctor.
