“Your Dr. for Urology”

A refreshing change to the morbid mediocrity of doctor visits. Immediate grasp of problem. Competent advice and sensible.

“Great doctor ”

Dr. Vapnek is a great doctor. He's very smart. He shares what he knows. He shares his concerns. He is honest. He's got a fantastic bedside manner (often lacking these days). He's personable - he interacted with me like i was a person not just another patient. My only complaint is he had is phone on his desk and checked it when it beeped a couple of times. It wasn't overly distracting or rude...just felt he could put his phone away while there is a patient with him (or explain why he needed to keep it out). Still - one of my favorite doctors in NYC.

“Excellent”

This was my first time being seen by a urologist, and I was truly impressed by both this very fine doctor and his courteous, welcoming and ready to assist staff. Dr. Vapnek immediately put me at ease, was willing to spend the time to discuss and explain my issues and made me feel that I was very fortunate to have been referred to him.

“Grade A+++ Very Professional”

I found Dr. Jonathan Vapnek, and staff to be very personable, and professional. Before my Physical Dr Vapnek sat me in his private office, and was very concerned with me as a patient.
There was no rush or lack of compassion with my issue. I felt really at ease with my visit.
I highly recommend Dr Vapnek to anyone looking for top Quality care from a genuine and caring Doctor.

“The best Urologist in New York City.”

Always pleasant and has a great sense of humor. He's efficient, great bed side manner and always makes me feel comfortable. It doesn't help that he dresses well.

“Exceptional Doctor”

My favorite doctor. Very knowledgeable and I wish I began my care with him earlier than I had. I have been dealing with doctors for 35 years. Staff is friendly and helpful. He's prompt and therefore doesn't throw off my scheduled transportation arrangements.
