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.

I went to Dr. Sussman many years ago as a last resort. I received a diagnosis from another Dr. which had me for months , running around to several specialists, all feeding in to each other. Months later, out of desperation I went to see Dr. Sussman, he listened to my litany of complaints, read the log I was keeping and then examined me. He asked the nurse to leave the room and then politely and professionally told me that I am healthy, all in my head, and instructed me to go home and watch dancing with the stars or whatever the big show was about 13 years ago. Within a few weeks all the “symptoms” subsided…he reached in and pulled me out of the rabbit hole, saved my life and I am grateful to this day. Highly recommended!

Dr. Sussman is an amazing doctor: professional, knowledgeable, an excellent listener, an accurate diagnostician. You can be confident about trusting your health to Dr. Sussman. I have been Dr. Sussman's patient for more than 10 years, so I'm in a position to make an informed judgment about his skills. I simply cannot account for the negative reviews on this site.
