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.

Not a good Doctor
'If you want a good physician who truly cares about you and your well being and not just your copay. Dr Stein is NOT who you are looking for. He tries to push antidepressants and medication, doesn’t listen to his patients requests for certain tests would rather just prescribe or see you again to bill insurance. He and his staff were incredibly unprofessional and just down right rude at times. Highly suggest going else where.'

Unresponsive and inattentive
My father is an octogenarian and patient of Dr Stein’s with significant health issues. Dr Stein does not review irregular test results, inform the family of results, and does not respond to family member’s repeated requests for information. He even neglected to inform us of a recent cancer diagnosis which we discovered ourselves by reviewing results on the portal. If you are looking for a high standard of care, find someone else.

My first visit with Dr.Stein was good. He listened to everything I said & answered all my questions. Dr. Stein sent me for tests & he called me personally with the results. My family is now changing their doctor to Dr. Stein. I would recommend Dr. Stein as a family doctor.

Patient, knowledgeable, caring, thorough, responsive. Always spends a lot of time explaining things to me completely, makes sure I have all my questions answered before I leave. Gives me time to express myself and ask questions before moving on. Responds to inquiries by phone and online messaging promptly. Best primary care doctor I have ever had. I really like Dr. Stein and have recommended him to others before. Wonderful caring staff as well, especially nurses.
