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.

Brilliant
I have followed Dr. Newman from his tenures at Montefiore, St. Luke's/Roosevelt, Mount Sinai West, and NYU Langone. He is kind, caring, very knowledgeable, and funny to boot. With his expertise, my intense migraines became manageable and ultimately gone. I could not recommend an MD more highly, and I wish him all the best in this new venture.

Excellent neurologist and person
I had been to two other neurologists who were famous but cold and unhelpful. My migraines were out of control until I saw Dr Newman. From the start he was warm, kind, social and very sensitive to my pain and suffering. Under his care I have improved dramatically. He always answers questions in the portal and always calls back if I have a serious situation. Best of all he is super kind and understanding. And his knowledge about migraines is extraordinary. I recommend him very highly. A real gem of a person and doctor.

I had been to several New York City Neurologists and Dr. Newman is by far the most knowledgeable. He has helped me to finally manage my migraines, he changed my life. He also calls you back if you don't feel well!!
