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.

Doc Chris is great as well as the staff. I love the ease of ordering prescription refills and appointments using the app.

Quick to diagnos without all the facts
I asked for an antiviral for my husband who tested positive for COVID. He said no. I told hime that he has one kideney, is diabtic, and had open heart surgery. THEN he sai, "well with those co-morbidities, maybe." But he wouldn't prescribe it.

Dr. Kielbasa is very understanding and kind to his patients. He offers treatment options that both he and his patients agree with and takes his time to listen to his patients concerns. I would recommend him to anyone.

I went to Dr. K for a little over 2 years. I had problem after problem with getting prescriptions refilled. They blamed the pharmacy, they blamed me...they even blamed the doc. We went in circles. Finally, last year, they sent me a certified letter stating that Dr K refused to see me anymore, this letter came directly after I told the office staff that I was going to start seeing Dr. K in Riverhead instead of Greenport. I guess you could say my experience was unsatisfactory.

Knowledgeable, attentive and answers all questions. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Left another provider in H. Bays who was not available, and had an arrogant staff. No regrets!!

I visited Dr. Chris Kielbasa, DO two days ago. I prefer DOs over MDs because DOs see the patient holistically. I read some reviews where people wrote that the Dr. Chris is harsh and rude. To my surprise, I did not find him that way. On the contrary, he and his staff were courteous and knowledgeable. I recommend, to go and check with Dr. Kielbasa.
