Steven Seidman, MD

From the first call throughout the examination, I was so comfortable and pleased with Dr. Seidman and his office staff. Everyone was polite and efficient. I arrived early and was taken on time. Dr. Seidman’s demeanor made me feel completely comfortable and he answered all my questions and provided information that I even forgot to ask. My previous experience with gyns has been, at best, mediocre: demeaning, long wait times, insufficient attention to my concerns.

I am very surprised by the other reviews of Dr. Seidman. He is such a nice guy, and a great doctor. When it was my first time going to a gynecologist, I saw him. He took me into his office to meet me and learn more about my health. I was so nervous, but he made me feel very comfortable. No one likes a gynecologists checkup, but I feel like he really does try to make the experience as painless and free of awkwardness as possible. The staff in the office is a little incompetent at times. But nothing awful that would deter me from seeing Dr. Seidman! I highly recommend him.

I sincerely cannot believe the other reviews on this page. Dr Seidman has been my OB/​GYN for about 25 years. I had 2 children under his care and a scare or two with my personal health. He has always been, and remains one of my favorite all time doctors. He is kind, caring, compassionate and has a wonderful bedside manner. I get his complete attention at every appointment and he always takes the time to discuss any concerns. He is not an alarmist so if all is well, I’m in and out pretty quickly, never having waited more than 10 or 15 minutes after my scheduled time. I’m now taking my daughter to see him as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Avoid this practice.
My wife and I moved to Long Island from the city and she wanted to find a local OB to see during our pregnancy and for the birth of our first child.
He was absolutely horrible and we have no confidence in him or his staff. They are arrogant and sloppy. Our dog’s vet — yes our vet — had better bedside manner. He was rushed, didn’t take the time to answer questions — no — didn’t even care if we had questions. My wife left his office crying twice. That’s when we decided to go back to her OB/​GYN in the city. We’d rather drive an hour in traffic to see a competent, friendly doctor who we had confidence in rather than this poor excuse for a practice.
In addition to that — some of the nurses have attitudes as well. They sit around chatting to each other and don’t care about the patients. My wife was given a finger prick blood test and the nurse left her finger bleeding. When she asked for a bandaid the nurse pointed to the counter rather than helping. We relayed this information to the doctor — no surprise — he chuckled. Probably wasn’t even listening to us.
Women should not have to deal with this level of service during such a sensitive and important time in their lives.
There are plenty of alternatives out there. Avoid Dr. Seidman.

The other reviewer is right, he’s a jerk. I would also add he’s paternalistic, condescending and brusque.
Also the lady at the front desk is rude. It’s not her fault the doctors triple-​schedule then run late, but the receptionist adds to the stress of an hour wait by being unpleasant. I think it reflects a general lack of respect for the practice’s patients.

This guy is a jerk. Plain and simple.
Although my daughter was born healthy — which I am grateful for — the experience itself was horrible because of this guy. Atrocious bedside manner and tried to use forceps on my kid (which I was NOT having) Long story short, he was mean and I do not recommend, especially if this is your first child. Delivering at North Shore hospital was not the greatest, either (see review).
Looking forward to having a better experience this second time around.
