    I had the best experience at Downtown Women. I came to the practice after a very stressful experience at another clinic early in my pregnancy. Dr. Benedetto truly transformed my entire pregnancy experience. From our first conversation, I knew she would listen, offer guidance, and do everything possible to ensure my baby and I received the best care at every step. Her expertise is matched by her passion for care, and I truly could not have found a better doctor. The practice overall is also very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The other doctors I met were equally outstanding, and the office staff were consistently reliable. I cannot express how grateful I am for the care from Dr. Benedetto and this team!

    I cannot praise this practice highly enough; they are the absolute gold standard! I have been a patient for nearly 20 years. I would never go anywhere else. Ever.

    I cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Sawai. From the moment I entered the office, the friendly staff and calm environment made me feel welcome and reassured. Dr. Sawai took time to listen to all my concerns, answer every question thoroughly, and ensure that I felt completely comfortable throughout the visit. Her expertise and professionalism were clear, and I truly appreciated how she combined compassionate care with a deep understanding of her field. She never rushed an appointment and always made sure I understood every step of the process. I trust her care completely and highly recommend Dr. Sawai to anyone seeking an OB-GYN. She is an outstanding doctor who truly cares about her patients' health and well-being.

    Dr. Benedetto is a blessing. I have been a patient since 2000. Of my 5 children, she delivered 4—she returned to Italy for the 5th—and comforted me through two miscarriages. She is absolutely worth the trip from Long Island to New York. She is knowledgeable and cares for the whole person. My husband loves her too.

    The service was wonderful, and I felt very welcome. Jenny Ye is truly the best! She was very thorough and, most importantly, extremely kind. She made me feel completely heard, and her warmth and friendliness made all the difference. She deserves every compliment! I received such prompt and thoughtful care. She is genuinely an exceptional, down-to-earth person.

    This practice is fantastic, from the front desk staff to the nurses and doctors. Throughout my pregnancy, I saw Dr. Benedetto for all my appointments. She made me feel comfortable, and I always trusted that I was in the best hands with her. I genuinely looked forward to my visits with her and the entire team. For the actual birth, Dr. Anzai was the doctor on call. I had met him briefly once before, so I didn’t have the same rapport with him as I did with Dr. Benedetto. However, he was incredibly calm and reassuring throughout my labor. I experienced minor complications during delivery, and he was amazing at keeping me calm and ensuring a smooth and safe delivery of my baby. I’m so grateful for the care I received and highly recommend this practice!

    You are not allowed in the back to help your partner, and she was very rude. I will never see her again.

    Dr. Benedetto is an outstanding gynecologist. She is meticulous, stays current with the latest research, is highly knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients. She guides patients with professionalism and compassion and offers multiple treatment options and alternatives when needed. She provided attentive guidance throughout my prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care. She is the best doctor I have ever met!

    I have had wonderful experiences with both Dr. Benedetto and Dr. Anzai! Dr. Benedetto was my OB-GYN during my second pregnancy, and Dr. Anzai is now guiding me through my third. After moving away from Manhattan, their Westchester office was a major advantage for me. Both provide exceptional care, are warm and thoughtful, offer flexible appointment times, and listen very well. I have never had any complaints. I highly recommend them!

    I initially chose this clinic because it was close to home and highly rated, but I deeply regret receiving obstetric care here. My first prenatal appointment was scheduled with a doctor leaving the clinic one week later, and the front-desk team failed to follow up appropriately. Clinic manager Brandie Hurrell was arrogant and rude, mishandled claims, and was unreachable despite repeated attempts by me and my insurer because my submitted visits were missing from their system. Having Anthem PPO coverage in two states complicated matters, but instead of following the insurer's instructions and working with me, she mocked my understanding of deductibles. My insurer confirmed that prenatal care would be fully covered if she submitted the claim because no visit record existed in my account. Anthem tried to contact her 4 times while I was also on the line, but she never answered. I lost confidence in their ability to manage my care. I do not recommend them for time-sensitive obstetric care and hope this helps other pregnant patients, since transferring late in pregnancy is difficult. Patient education was poor, test timing was unclear, and ultrasounds were outsourced to another clinic that handled insurance much better and successfully matched my coverage. I also recommend reading the one- and two-star reviews for a clearer picture of how this clinic operates.
    Apr 18, 2026
    I have been Dr. Anzai's patient for 25 years, and his extensive medical knowledge and calm manner always reassure me. The clinic staff are courteous and professional, appointments are easy to schedule, and the clinic is always accessible.
    Apr 13, 2026
    The clinic is efficient, and the staff are professional. Dr. Cheon is kind and gentle, listens carefully, and addresses all my concerns.
    May 9, 2026
    The doctor and clinic are both outstanding, and I would not go anywhere else. I highly recommend this clinic for obstetric and gynecologic care.
    May 8, 2026
    Dr. Sawai is an excellent physician who always listens patiently and answers my questions. I am grateful to have her as my gynecologist.
    May 1, 2026
    I just learned that they charged me hundreds of dollars for genetic testing without any prior communication, and worse, they did not even test for the condition I was concerned about. This is appalling.
    Apr 30, 2026
    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Maria Benedetto and her entire team. She is experienced, attentive, and genuinely focused on her patients' best interests. Her years of expertise and confidence were clear from the moment we met. I changed doctors during my third pregnancy because I wanted more personalized, compassionate care. My previous doctor often made me feel like just another patient, which was the last thing I wanted at such an important time. From the start, Dr. Benedetto exceeded my expectations. She listened, made me comfortable, and handled my condition with professionalism and care. Her colleagues were equally caring, helpful, and skilled. I am very grateful to have found a team that puts patients first and creates a welcoming experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking a thoughtful, highly skilled OB-GYN.

    贝内德托医生非常专业、和蔼可亲，而且是一位非常支持和体贴的医生。14年前，她帮助我顺利度过了孕期，并接生了我的双胞胎。我一定会向所有关心自身健康的女性推荐她。她是一位了不起的人，也是一位杰出的医生。 谢谢。

    我在这家诊所就诊近十年，因此这次的经历格外令人失望。 最近，我联系诊所咨询一个与我的治疗相关的问题，却屡次得到片面的答复、相互矛盾的信息，最终只能在不同部门之间推诿。我提出的合理后续问题，非但没有得到清晰的沟通和专业的指导，反而大多被敷衍了事，几乎没有任何回应。 我理解并非所有问题都能由诊所直接解决。但是，作为一名多年的患者，我期待的是更专业、更周到、更积极的沟通，而不是在如此令人沮丧的情况下被敷衍了事。
    Jun 26, 2026
    贝内德托医生担任我的妇产科医生已经超过16年了，她接生了我的两个女儿（现在一个快到青春期了，一个已经十几岁了！），从怀孕到分娩，再到现在我即将进入围绝经期，她一直是我最信任的医生：我始终觉得把孩子交给她是最好的！我每年都去看她，每次都很期待，因为我知道她会好好照顾我。这种感觉非常珍贵，也并不常见。我很庆幸在我从巴黎搬到纽约后找到了她。当时我一直在寻找一位既能倾听我的心声，又能为像我这样一开始不太熟悉美国医疗体系的人提供指导和支持的医生。她的团队热情友好，非常专业。整个诊所的运作都非常流畅高效。
    Jun 17, 2026
    最好的医生！！他们接生了我的四个孩子。他们真心关爱病人。我以后再也不会去其他诊所了。
    Jun 17, 2026
    非常称职且专业。我很喜欢找Cheon医生看病。怀孕期间她照顾得无微不至，还帮我顺利生下了宝宝。强烈推荐！

    Dr. Sai has been my OB-GYN for several years, and I feel lucky to have found her. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and an excellent communicator. When I hesitated about an uncomfortable but important test, she firmly supported me, and the outcome was much better than I expected. I feel very comfortable talking with her and look forward to my annual checkup at the beginning of each year. She feels more like a friend. The clinic staff are also warm and friendly.
    Dec 23, 2025
    She is very nice and kind. I wish she could be my doctor for my annual checkups.
    Nov 21, 2025
    I first saw Dr. Sawai on November 20, 2025. She carefully reviewed my medical history and offered several suggestions regarding my current medications. I left feeling very well cared for. The front desk staff were also professional and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Sawai to anyone looking for a gynecologist.

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Sai. She supported me through every stage of pregnancy with extraordinary compassion, patience, and professionalism.

    This was a complete waste of my time. When I arrived for my appointment, they kept me waiting for 30 minutes. I noticed that people who arrived after me were seen first. They said I would have to wait another 30 minutes or reschedule, so I left.
    Mar 7, 2025
    The best doctor who has ever cared for me.
