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.

Dr Esposito and his excellent team performed quadruple bypass surgery on me August 2nd 2021. I was discharged August 9th 2021. It's now April 7th 2022 and all is well. Dropped all the bad habits (smoking, alcohol,fatty foods, lack of excersize etc). An adopted all new habits (healthy foods, walking 10 miles per day, etc). Haven't felt this good in quite some time. Thankyou Dr Esposito, your surgical team, and all the staff at Northwell Health Manhasset division. Sincerely Mark Heinrich.

I was left with a big decision to make in a very short period of time. He saved my life. God bless the expertise that he has and also of his teamates especially Douglas Karman. After the surgery they stopped by nearly everyday and offered no nonsense advice on how to heal and move forward. Eternally grateful. Paul DiCosimo
