Doctor Corst has been my doctor for the past 6 years, and i have to say: The BEST FAMILY DOCTOR in NYC! I recommend her to anyone i know, and so far everyone that ever visit her office is always going back when needed. She is the most down to earth doctors, very knowledgeable, exceedingly helpful and always..... always available. If she is booked and you don’t feel well- she (not the receptionist) will call you back, as soon as she has a minute, and she will always try to help. Dr. Corst will call after the appointment as well, just to see If the medication is helping and to check up on you. Thank you for being such an amazing Doctor, easy to talk to, great listener, and just such a positive person.

Dr. Corst was my PCP for about two years. When I mentioned I may have arthritis, as told to me by another doctor before her, she refused to test me because of my age, told me I was just too fat, and blamed my diet (without even inquiring what my diet is). After two years' worth of this abusive treatment, I finally was able to find a better doctor who ran several tests immediately and confirmed that I have osteoarthritis. She even tested me for RA, which is something Dr. Corst, an RA specialist, refused to even consider. Dr. Corst consistently insisted that I was not ill and blamed me for my ill health; please avoid this woman. I do plan to report her abusive behavior as soon as my ill health allows.

She always put me at ease. She takes time to explain the diagnosis and how to take the medication. I have been seeing her for years.
