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.

Office Staff
Staff does not follow through on promised call back. Placed on hold for over 20 minutes. Does not submit paperwork as appropriate. Very rude and instead of making you feel like a valued patient they treat you like cattle. Could be dead and they would not care.More interested in volume than taking care of patients..... greedy

Saved my Life
I have been going to Dr. Hertz for over 20 years. Due to his insistence of going for scans he saved my life in 2016 with an early lung cancer diagnosis. I highly recommend his practice!

The wait times are ridiculous. Even if you make an appointment. When I complained the Doctor became angry and behaved in a childish and immature manner. I would definitely take the time to find a different doctor. Not worth the wait.

Excellent family physician
I've been a patient for over 30 years through various stages of life and medical conditions. Dr. Hertz is one of the most dedicated physicians I've ever encountered and one of the only ones that still visits his patients personally when they are hospitalized. His office hours offer availability days, nights and weekends. Can't say enough about his commitment.

Dr Hertz is it he best!!
My family and I have been going to Babylon medical practice for many years and would never go anywhere else. All of the doctors and nurses are top notch. Dr. Howard Hertz found out that I had thyroid cancer because that is one of the tests he does (thyroid sonogram) during a routine physical. I’m so grateful for Dr Hertz for detecting it early because I was able to receive treatment for it and now I’m ok. I would highly recommend Babylon Medical practice to anyone looking for a great set of doctors.

I am so glad Dr Hertz was recommended to me. His modern office is beautiful and relaxing - more like a mansion than a doctor's office. The staff is always courteous and helpful. When I'm with Dr Hertz, I feel like I'm his only patient. Highly recommend.

Dr hertz is a truly exceptional physician. A true mastermind with immense knowledge. I don’t mind the wait times, I don’t think it’s shorter anywhere else and I rather wait for expertise. The office is beautiful and modern. I highly recommend this physician and office. And how amazing they are open 7 days a week!

Worst doctor ever
Howard M. Herts, M.D is not doctor how we think about a doctor should be. First we have to be human. From my opinion he doesn’t have any humanity. He just wants to money. We went for paperwork, they charged us but there was few mistakes first time by them. When we told them about that, he said to do the paperwork again there will be another charge, although it was there fault. After that I never went back there because I think this is the way how they are earning. Also there is no word for me to explain about how he treats with his patients.

I am a former patient of Dr. Hertz. He was my primary physician for thirty-five years. I concur with many of the complaints made in this forum. His waiting room was regularly overcrowded with sick patients with waiting times stretching beyond an hour. His staff displayed a dismissive attitude towards waiting patients. After waiting for over an hour, my examination time with the doctor rarely went beyond 5-10 minutes. In addition, I found Dr. Hertz to be a poor diagnostician who misdiagnosed me on two separate occasions. His misdiagnosis resulted in my taking unnecessary medications for many years. One last observation. Once I turned fifty years of age, Dr. Hertz annually issued scripts for expensive stress tests. I’ve always maintained excellent cardio health, but Dr. Hertz continued to advise me to have annual stress tests. Fortunately for me, I relocated to another state in New England and I am fully satisfied with the medical care I’ve received.
