Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Pugach is an old fashioned, caring, experienced and knowledgeable physician who saved my life. He took time to get to know me, did routine blood work as part of a thorough physical, found I was anemic and sent me for an immediate scope. Turned out I had cancer with internal bleeding. Had treatments and did very well. If Dr. Pugach had not been my Doctor, I would very likely have died needlessly, the condition not being detected until it was terminal. Recommend Dr. Pugach with the highest endorsement.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Pugach?
Dr. Pugach is my Mom's primary care doc and she could not have a better one. He is a brilliant diagnostician, and takes the time to get to know his patients. He can come off as arrogant because he does not suffer fools gladly, and in his efficiency (and with his Russian accent) can sometimes leave you hanging. He also demands close contact with specialists, and will not accept inferior care on the part of anyone else treating "his" patients. All that adds up to: Never met a more caring doctor.
