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.

In addition to his brilliance, Dr. Turkewitz is one of the most genuine and compassionate neurologist around! He consistently remains abreast on the most up to date evidence-based medicine while incorporating patient-centered care. He always goes above and beyond in explaining complex diagnoses, risk verses benefits of treatment, alternatives, and prognoses. How many physicians are giving out their personal cell phone number these days? He's one and it speaks volumes on his accessability to his patients.

Whoever said he is not accessible is absolutely mistaken. He gives his personal number to patients and families and spends as much time as the family needs for understanding. The best.

This neurologist treated my mom while she was admitted in hospital for Covid-19. NOT ONCE did he bother to communicate with my family about my mom or his treatment! We requested numerous times for him to contact us, but he must have felt communication with a patient’s family was below him. We were extremely displeased with this neurologist.
