I have 2 teenage daughters that need to have checkups, a trusting doctor to ask those questions to that are too difficult at times to ask your mom and hopefully be located in downtown Manhattan (but not totally necessary).
wonderful uppperwest side practice of all women ob/gyn. located on CPW and 91st
Dr Clarke and 3 others all good

Have you considered taking them to a midwife? They're probably going to offer the most gentle, supportive and respectful care. In my experience they also spend more time with patients. Do a search on google, there's a website for midwives in NYC.
Also want to add what a nice mom you are. I wish mine was as caring as you. Perhaps I would have avoided lots of snags in my bodycentric journey. Thankfully, I did end up in the caring hands of midwives who delivered two babies for me and helped me regain some trust in the medical profession.
Ps. Mine were joanne Middleton and janet Sullivan, in bklyn and cara mulhahn in NYC-- very hip might be good for your teens. Cmmidwifery.com.
D., my gynecologist recently referred my daughter to a "pediatric" gynecologist (my daughter is 12) who turned out to be FABULOUS!! I was so nervous because my daughter was so young, but this doctor not only made ME comfortable, but put my daughter at ease with her WONDERFUL bedside manner and way with teens...she spoke to her with respect and gave her all the information she wanted/needed....I was also impressed that she was up-to-date on all the "newest" procedures/information---I recommend her to all of my friends w/teenage girls...here is her info...good luck!

I would absolutely refer my OBGYN. Not only is she very "chill" and sweet, she is young which may make your daughters feel more at ease (also, she is amazing at calling back if you're daughters are too nervous to ask questions to her face). Her name is Dr. Katrina Bradley and her whole practice is amazing!!! Her # is ###-###-####... she is really down to Earth and just a great Dr.
Good luck!
Hi D.,
Dr. Ilona Brandeis is excellent. Location: 251 East 33rd Street, New York, NY 10016 ###-###-####.
Hospital affiliation: NYU
She is not downtown but Sheri Saltzman is wonderful. So gentle, nice and takes time to listen and answer questions. 201 E 80th St (2nd & 3rd) ###-###-####
I HIGHLY recommend her!
Dr Carmela Seymour - the best. I have been going to her since the age of 17. When she stopped accepting insurance I refused to change because I felt so comfortable with her. She is in Englewood, NJ ###-###-#### (just over the GWB) I am now 30 and just had my first baby.

Downtown Women located on Soho on Broadway b/t Broadway & Prince. It's all women doctors, extremely nice and caring group of people. I hope you like them as much as I do.
Dr. Kathleen Mulligan on 14th street between 8th + 9th Avenues.
She is REALLY cool - I know at least 5 different women in my life (friends + family) who all go to her and love her. She's young (like 40's I think?) and very open minded about anything that you ask her about.
Hi D.,
All the GYN/OB doctors at Beth Israel/Phillips Ambulatory Care Center are mostly women and are all great. I have been a patient to Dr's Susan Rothenberg & Jackie Brown, both are great. They are located at 10 Union Square East, Suite 2B, NY NY 10003, ###-###-####. Give them a try and see if they are what you are looking for.
