Jacqueline Monaco-Bavaro, MD 170 Maple Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601

"I need to share this for no other reason than wanting to help save another persons life. Dr. Bavaro is a kind, down to earth, caring doctor. She always made me feel comfortable. I have not seen her for anything other than an annual women’s checkup. However, she missed my tumors during my annual breast exam last year. I had been seeing her for years and I relied on her to check my breast for lumps. I never did a self exam. Last year I went to see her, she checked my breasts, and she found nothing. One week later I accidentally found two lumps in my left breast. I called her office and it took over a month for me to get another appointment with her, even though I said I found lumps in my breast and that I was very concerned. I didn’t know what to do so I waited. At the second appointment, she agreed that I had lumps and wrote me a prescription for an ultrasound at WP Imaging center. She gave me the number to their center and suggested I call and schedule my own appointment. I called them nonstop (there are several WP imaging locations) and no one had an appointment. I called for weeks and almost gave up. Finally, I was able to schedule an appointment. This was almost two months after finding my own lumps. Long story short, I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer at age 31. Went through chemo and all. I had told Dr. Bavaro at every appointment that my grandma died of breast cancer, but she said nothing. She continued to prescribed me hormonal birth control for years. My cancer was hormone receptive, so every time I took that pill, it was feeding the cancer. None of this is anyone’s fault, but you put your trust into your doctors. You would hope and expect that they tell you of the risks associated with hormonal birth control, etc. I am not saying she is a bad doctor or person, but this truly made me realize that no one cares about your health more than you do."

"Dr. Bavaro might be amazing - I will never know; but her nurse is a terrible human being. I was scheduled for a new patient appointment to review my pregnancy. I fell very ill a couple weeks before that appointment and called to plead if I could come in earlier to see the doctor, advised that I had an ER visit the day before and needed to follow up with the doctor. I expressed my concern for the health of my baby and the nurse who works directly with Dr. Bavaro said to me “the fetus is not even viable at 7 weeks”. Can you imagine someone in healthcare being so cold? Nonetheless, she went into the system I later found out and cancelled my scheduled appointment out of spite. I will stay far away from these people."

"8 months into my high risk pregnancy and Dr Bavaro and her team have been amazing since day 1. She really helped my husband and I through our fears of pregnancy after a loss in the second trimester. Very caring and compassionate. Sometimes the wait times can be a bit long as she has a lot of patients and takes her time but she’s worth it (also very nicely provides snacks when there are delays). I know we appreciate that she takes her time with us and doesn’t rush us. We are so happy to have found her. We are looking forward to meeting our bundle of joy in a month!"

"I am a new patient of Dr. Bavaro and she is amazing. She read my chart prior to meeting with me and asked all the right questions to make me feel comfortable and at ease. She has a wonderful bedside manner and I am her patient for life. I highly recommend her."

"Dr. Bavaro is amazing, the person who posted a bad review should be removed since it's not relevant to the Dr. herself, she's just complaining about the waiting time in the office in general. Dr. Bavaro has great bedside manor and she never rushes you. She always asks if you have any questions at the end of your visit. She seems to genuinely care about your wellbeing. I absolutely loved having her deliver my second child and plan to see her once I'm ready for #3. The doctor that delivered my first son was very cold and it just didn't seem as personal to her. Dr. Bavaro made the whole experience much more pleasant than my first doctor. I highly recommend her!"
