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.

Friendly, & knowledgeable!
Several locations, sick and well visits, All around good doctor.

Silent & doesn’t ask question
Each time at least two times, he doesn’t ask questions and when you explain what’s going on I feel like he is not interested to hear you.This is the sentiment I always have when I meet him.

Very good doctor to have
My entire experience, from anytime and anyday that I would schedule an appointment, has been fantastic. The staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Avi Schachter not only is he knowledgeable but also takes the time to address all my questions and concerns. I always leave the clinic feeling confident in the care I received.

Not a great first time meeting him.
Not a happy experience. The office was very busy last week and my regular doctor was not available so I saw Dr Schachter and he really didn’t want to listen to anything I had to say. He prescribed an antibiotic that made me very nauseous with just taking the first dose and I spent the next day, Friday trying to get another antibiotic but it never happened. He was also suppose to talk to me about pain I have having in my rear end muscle which he never did. Truly my first experience with a doctor that did not go well. Hoping to reach my regular doctor tomorrow to discuss the whole situation and hopefully get an antibiotic that I can take.
