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 Kaufman and his team at overlook medical center were so kind and professional!! I am probably the worst patient but they explained my lumbar puncture every step of the way and made me feel safe and cared for during the entire procedure!!! I would recommend him !! Thank you for your patience!!!

Dr. Kaufman treats my pain through both traditional and non-traditional methods. He is compassionate and able to act in a crisis. His treatment includes drugs as minimally as needed, physical therapy and referral to other interventionists as needed. He diagnosed a torn rotator cuff and identified an excellent surgeon for a gall bladder removal. This man is wonderful.

Dr Kaufman is a most fantastic doctor! He is very kind, compationate, listens to you and takes his time. He explains everything in great detail and wants to make sure you are comfortable and also is very keen on making sure that no medications have any side effects. I feel so cared for and comfortable. His office staff at Summit and Newark are all wonderful & kind also. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. I would highly recommend Dr Kaufman to my Family & Friends!!
