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.

a life saver
Dr. Khorets is a classical family physician-he treats anything from eye inflammations to fevers, from venous ulcers to the heart conditions. He was able to provide correct diagnosis for my mother's ulcer when everyone else failed and put her on the course of treatment that had led to a recovery. He is a great listener. He has great ability to calm the patient down; he never refers anyone for unnecessary additional procedures; he is on point and always available. I highly recommend him.

Incompetent Front Desk
I needed to change my PCP so I could get an appt They asked I give them name of person I spoke with regarding the change to Dr. Khorets, as well as the reference # because they were going to confirm. Long story, short, I spent over $50 for round trip on Uber, but was told pcp coverage would start the next day. A phone call prior to the visit would be the competent to do. Done with them!

Clean office, friendly staff. Wait time is not long (approx 15-20 min the most). Doctor is knowledgeable, if cannot help, he will find a professional who can.

He’s very high on himself but little knowledge. He Can’t Comprehend that people have different diabetes and react differently. Does Not care about Patients! Don’t believe praises from his friends.

Dr. Khorets is kind, professional, easy to talk to, and understanding. He asked me detailed questions about my history and why I was coming to see him and truly listened, coming up with a treatment plan. When he urged me to reach out to him for any questions or concerns, he meant it. I've contacted him several times with questions regarding the medications he has prescribed and he was prompt in responding and in problem-solving to help me feel better. I would highly recommend him to all.

Dr. Khorets is an outstanding physician with excellent diagnostic skills. He has been our family physician for many years. He is always able to pinpoint and address all of my concerns and find appropriate treatment. The new office is conveniently located and has all testing done on premises. I recommend Dr. Khorets to all my friends and my colleagues. Absolute BEST!!!

The worst doctors of all the doctors I've visited. Impossible to get in touch with. If you happen to be in beth israel hospital, make sure not to have him as a doctor. This doctor takes as many patients as possible under his care, but does not treat them properly because he simply cant handle that many patients. That's what happens when people get greedy. Patients get much worse or nearly die when being treated by this so called doctor. He should not be treating patients.
