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.

Always Kind and Really Listens to Me
The office was running late due to one late patient, but Dr. Amster forged ahead and was concerned that she was inconveniencing her afternoon patients. As always, Dr. Amster was kind and listened to my concerns.

Practice Understaffed
Called emergency line at 7:30 AM; left message with answerig. Waited 3 hrs for a call back then started calling the office. Left numerous messages on voicemall. Nurse called in afternoon and took details and told me Doctor would call me back. It's been 2 days and no one ever called back. I am still suffering and the wait for any new urologist is a couple of months.
