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.

Today was my first visit to this practice. Everyone from the person who checked me up to and including Dr. Barofsky introduced themselves with a warm smile, was courteous, efficient and helpful and explained every step in the exam and testing process thoroughly. Absolutely outstanding patient care all around!

Dr. Barofsky is brilliant in his field, and a very compassionate doctor. I will never forget how he reacted after hearing of a terribly tragic event in my life. I had to move down south because of this event, and one of the things I miss the most is that I cannot see him anymore..... a wonderful kind guy that really knows his work and truly cares about his patients.

Dr Barofsky was the best doctor of any doctor I've had in years! He was courteous, knowledgeable and professional. His staff was over the top nice and professional as well. Every test was explained clearly and what to expect while taking the tests. I have every confidence that I got the best care possible.
