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.

If I Could Leave Ten Stars!
I was referred to Dr. Kushnir by my NYU Cardiologist to assess whether I needed a pacemaker. I was convinced that my declining energy and overall health were due to heart rhythm issues. However, after reviewing my Holter monitor results, Dr. Kushnir recommended an ablation for my high PVC burden instead.He took the time to call me after work hours to thoroughly explain my options. Despite my initial certainty that a pacemaker was the solution, Dr. Kushnir’s empathy, patience, and expertise helped me understand the alternative of starting with an ablation. He said, “What if I implant a pacemaker and you don’t feel better?” That question really changed my perspective. His approach was thoughtful and reassuring throughout the process.The results of the ablation were exceptional. At my follow-up, I felt noticeably stronger, with my PVCs brought close to zero. Dr. Kushnir’s expertise not only improved my heart rhythm but also my overall well-being.I’m incredibly thankful to Dr. Kushni
