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.

Horrible Staff.
What a mess..he in office couldn’t confirm insurance (never had problem before). Instead of him checking I had to. Waited and waited, didn’t hear back. Called he said they didn’t call, checked, they did..wasted my time. Fast appointment. Told unfriendly staff don’t send prescription to old pharmacy, but new one I gave them. In front of me, she said she changed it…waited long time, heard nothing..pharmacy didn’t get it..called , he said they sent it…waited, pharmacy didn’t get it..called again someone said “will send again.” Never sent to my pharmacy first time . Went to pharmacy, they couldn’t fill because her office sent to another one. Sure enough it was the one I said not to send to. Unbelievable, not one apology, wasted hours. Not worth it. Beware.

Told me the name of my condition but did not make any suggestion about treatment until I told her that I could not walk around with it like that at which time she prescribed a medication but did not suggest a follow-up visit. I got the distinct feeling that because I am a heavy, elderly woman, she did not feel I belonged in her chic upper east side office or else she was just moving in a fog that day as though she had received some terrible news. A different dr. later solved the issue.. .
