7 reviews for Dr Bruce Champagne
Warning - this review involves some oversharing.
When my ex was in New York a few weeks ago he managed to let slip that he had been to a clinic while in town because he thought he had gonorrhea. It turns out he did. Ew. Now, while we hadn't slept together in, oh, 6 years, the hypochondriac inside me went into hyperdrive and I decided it was time for a trip to the doctor for the full STD rundown.
I haven't had good luck finding a GP in the city - most leave me pretty cold. But I have a few friends who go to Dr. Champange, so I thought I'd give him a shot. He's a very cool guy, wry and smart. I told him why I was there, and he made some crack about how actors get laid a lot (it's not just because I'm an actor, honey...;)).
My only complaint was that the exam didn't seem very thorough to me (but really, what do I know?). I mean, I told him I hadn't had a check-up in a few years, and I didn't see much more than a little stethoscope action. But, in the end, the fluids were taken, the tests done, and he even called me on a Saturday to tell me I am, thankfully, completely STD free (phew! - Safe sex, people! Believe it!)
Thanks, Dr. Champagne!
Never again will I see Dr. Champagne!!! He was my primary doctor for more than 3 years, I recommended him to everyone I know including my 75 year old mother...on her first vist with him he changed her prescription blood pressure medication but i brought her back to him because of a strong palpitation, he doubled the dosage of the medication, a week later she had same concern, I called him for advice early one morning left him a message with his rude secretary, a 2nd message in the early pm, then another around 5pm..finally I was so upset that I brought my mother to his office..he dismissed us with no hesitation because we did not have an appointment, he didn't even check her blood pressure..I brought my mother immediately to the emergency room, she was admitted for 3 days for an abnormal heart beat, hight blood pressure!!! this was very alarming to my family since we had recently lost our father. Do I need to say more? he might be a on the spot fixer up but no good for long term care...
What a *GREAT* doctor! The waiting room is a little old and ..hm ..not "nice" but who cares. I had no trouble making an appointment, he checked my symptoms, wrote a prescription, did blood work all in a fairly quick timeframe. The Dr. is confident, professional, and he called me the very next morning to tell me the results of my bloodwork. You couldn't ask for a better doc.! He's my new Doc. in the city!

A toast to Dr. Champagne
What a doctor. I had been trying to find a doctor in the city for some time now. After being referred to Dr. Champagne by someone in the "biz" i will search no more. The doctor was attentive, smart and funny. He made me feel at ease and didn't make me wait more then five minutes. He even called me midday the next day with my blood results! Had some very valuable advice and information. Just an FYI - bring cash or check for your copay, he doesn't take credit cards.
Overall a very very good experience. I feel healthy and relieved that i finally found a neighborhood doctor in NYC.
Dr. Champagne is a great doctor. He's personable, funny and helpful. Took me in as a new patient after calling the same day!!
So far ...so good. Got an appointment with him right away. Told him about all my sinus issues and he seemed to know what was going on immediately. Got some blood work done, and he called me first thing in the morning to let me know it was all good. He did seem to be in a bit of a rush, but I guess that's the nature of the biz. Update to come soon...
