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 patient and thorough. Spent significant time answering my questions. Showed empathy.

Dr. STEIN WAS EXCELLENT.
Dr. Stein understood my situation immediately. He examined me thoroughly. He was clear and concise in giving me his expert advice, and very knowledgeable. He was not rushed, and he spent plenty of time with me. He was also very kind and relaxed during the session. I could not have asked for more. And his staff, particularly Delia and Ingrid were very kind and helpful. And everything happened on time.

This was the third appointment I have had with Dr. Stein in the past two years. I have MS and was referred to Dr. Stein by my neurologist. As in the past, the appointment was a pleasant one that began punctually. Dr. Stein was thorough in his examination and took time to answer my questions clearly. He offered encouraging, while realistic advice regarding exercise and my condition. He seems compassionate and engaged and I would recommend him to others.

Went for a 1-time assessment/examination as part of NYP's Cardiac Rehab program. Dr. Stein and his assistant/secretary (Kathleen) were very nice, warm and friendly. Was fairly easy to set-up an appointment prior to the visit. Dr. Stein took his time to examine me and everything went well

I was seen by Dr. Stein for rehabilitation after a stroke. He was friendly and warm. His explanation of how to rehabilitate from my stroke was very helpful and clear. He had helpful suggestions for treatment. I was also very pleased with the careful attention to preventing Covid-19 in the practice, which made me feel safe. I’d definitely strongly recommend him for anyone with a stroke or spasticity who needs a true expert in these areas.

I'm very disappointed after bringing my mother to Dr. Stein. She suffered a massive stroke last year and needs delicate treatment. After waiting upwards of three hours, we finally got to see the doctor. I don't know if Dr. Stein was dealing with a personal crisis that day but he seemed more concerned with the text messages coming in on his phone than my questions about one of her medications. When we did have his attention, Dr. Stein was dismissive and rude to be frank. I could go on...
