Dr. Maximiliano M. Mayrink, DO

"Dr. Mayrink was very kind and thoughtful during my appointment. The nurse and overall whole staff was professional, friendly and compassionate"

"Dr. Mayrink was very kind and thoughtful during my appointment. I do wish that he explained that there would be another person present during my exam though. This review is not directed towards him. The nurse who brought me into the exam room lacked any possible signs of bedside manner and professionalism and made offensive, unwarranted comments about my weight. The nurse was going over my chart with me - it was my first time with Dr Mayrink, but I had been to Mt. Sinai ER once before - and said, "wow, you gained a lot of weight!" I asked her to elaborate since I have only gained a total of 5 lbs since December '22 when I visited the ER. She said, "yeah, you gained almost 40 lbs in five months, that's a lot of weight." I asked her what the weight was that she was referring to and she told me a weight that I have not been in about 15 years, when I was actually suffering from an eating disorder. I told her that something must be wrong or she must be looking at the wrong records because when I went to the ER I was getting stitches on my hand and was not weighed or asked my weight. She continued to tell me that I was wrong and that I did, in fact, gain 40 lbs and should take better care of myself. I tried to laugh it off but the lack of sensitivity, self awareness and empathy was beyond comprehension. I can't imagine how I would feel if I did actually gain a significant amount of weight and had to accept this woman shaming me instead of approaching the topic with a level of sensitivity. How are you creating a positive environment for women to feel safe in their most private and exposed moments when a female staff member who is directly communicating with patients is body shaming and making patients feel uncomfortable? If the doctor hadn't come in shortly after this exchange I was ready to leave and find somewhere new. The lack of bedside manner is why people, myself included, avoid going to the doctor completely."

"Update January: Updating my review to reflect the time and care Dr. Mayrink took as always to talk to me, explain the protocol from a medical perspective, and apologize for the miscommunication + take feedback back to the residents and about expectation setting. He continues to stand out as an incredible doctor, and I wish he had been there the day of my delivery. Original review: Great bedside manner and appointments with Dr. Mayrink. Awful delivery experience with a doctor in this practice (update* no longer there) who let a resident yell at me while pushing and bully us on into going against our reviewed birth plan. Update December: Initially I shared all my feedback in my follow up appointment and was told it wasn't up to the doctor on things like cord clamping and to contact patient relations at mt sinai."

"Dr. Mayrink made both my husband and I feel very comfortable. He’s kind and takes his time to listen and answer all questions. We’re grateful to have found him and feel very confident going through our pregnancy with him."
