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.

Dr Harry is a wonderful person. Very caring. Always ready to listen. I feel at ease in his care.

This man almost killed me after what was supposed to be a routine polyp removal from my colon. I ended up with sepsis, lost 45 pounds and was rushed back to emergency surgery only to wake up with a colostomy bag. Finally got a real surgeon to repair my colon and the mess caused by Lifschutz. This new surgeon saved my life and told me he wouldn't let Harry Lifschutz work on his cat. Enough said. Run like hell to anybody else!!!

I have been with Dr. Lifschultz for five years now. Put a port in twice for me and had sonograms done. He is professional and I like his humor...short and funny. I have never had a problem getting ahold of him through his office and they keep in touch with me. A good Dr. and a good person.

Dr, and I use the term loosely, did esophageal reflux surgery on me on August 6th, 2014. His demeanor was arrogant and insensitive. He left me with an extremely noticeable scar, at least 10 inches long, from my breastbone to the top of my navel. He used staples to close the incision, which became severely infected, hence requiring me to take Cipro, to get the infection under control. As I have a high pain tolerance, I found removal of the staples by Dr Lifschutz, rushed and painful.
