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.

Very professional and respectful.

Knowledgeable and kind
Dr. Sternberg is a doctor who both knows how to treat your illness and still treat you as a person. Although she is very busy, she is never rushed. She is clear, answer all questions and listens carefully.

Saved My Life (at least once)
Has treated me successfully for one cancer and then detected a second cancer at a very early stage when it was easily removed. Very thorough and caring. Responsive on email.

Horrific bedside manner. Not engaged, out of touch, seems uncaring. I was expecting much better on all fronts given all of the accolades and degrees she has.

Insensitive, Uncaring, Out of Touch
Horrific bedside manner, insensitive to 9/11 health program members, insensitive and unwilling to even shake hands of patient. Honestly, over my 68 years of seeing many doctors who have treated me for my seizure and other 9/11 related issues, she is hands down worse doctor I have ever known. Wow!!

Dismayed and disappointed
Dr. Sternberg was highly recommended by an oncological surgeon I have used and respect enormously. Her credentials are excellent. She has received good reviews here. Therefore I was shocked at her lack of compassion and lack of respectful answers about options I want to consider for an incurable cancer, given my age and multiple medical conditions that make life difficult. She never provided me a chance to discuss my thinking about end of life. I did not feel like I was treated as a human being. Were it not for her excellent nurse practitioner, we would have changed immediately to another doctor in the practice or changed hospitals.

She spent as much time as I wanted with me - verified the correct timing of procedures being performed in other departments, researching and verifying intended protocols are being followed, and confirming next steps in treatment.
