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.

This was the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor-truly horrid! He walked in with a young man (who went immediately to the computer and started typing) and said this is "so-and-so" who is going to be taking notes. We were in a tiny room. Dr. S stands by the door-I was seated-and starts asking me about my symptoms. (I'm supposed to discuss my most intimate and embarrassing conditions with some computer guy there??) Even without the "recorder" there, how uncomfortable to have to talk up to a doctor standing by the door! I walked out. I too am considering reporting this guy. I really don't get the high ratings. If you can't take your own notes, get out of the business!

I saw this physician when I was admitted to ICU for a very serious medical condition. Fortunately, I recovered and had a follow up appointment with him several weeks later. Although he did not remember me, he had reviewed my chart and was prepared for the examination . I have seen him three or four times since for follow-up. He is conservative in his approach, which I value highly. Only negative is sometimes I feel rushed, he answers the questions he has time for but then stops when time is up.

I would give negative stars if I could. Going to be filing an official complaint about "Dr." Saltzberg. He is a doctor who supposedly specializes in GI conditions, and yet when I urgently scheduled a follow up after he did an endoscopy on me in the hospital, he said that the bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, and nausea that I began to experience after the procedure was due to "anxiety" and that there was nothing else he could do. My advice: see a different doctor if you want actual medical advice

He is the best, he explains everything and very gentle with the colonoscopy, his help is wonderful and the medicine he gives for the clean out is not bad.
