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.

Awful Thinks he knows all. Arrogant beyond most other doctors. Does not know all & does not seem to believe his patients, even though patients have been living with their own bodies & have their own awareness to offer!

Have seen this physician multiple times throughout the years. He is thorough and a great diagnostician with a desire to help. His ability to think outside the box has helped me on multiple occasions. Wish I still lived in New York.

Dr. Meed, who appeared to be a thoughtful doctor on exam, was unable to provide a diagnosis on initial visit, which is not a problem. I was told, "let me think." He did not order any labs or imaging studies. He prescribed a below normal dose pain pill for 9/10 pain. After two week I called to speak to the doctor. A message was sent to the doctor but I never received a call back. I called two days later, and still no call. The next day I called again, and was told I would be called by the doctor when he finishes with his patient, no call was received. The next day I called back and the doctor had already left the office, and wont return until Monday. This is total neglect. I explained that I was immobilized and could not make it to the office, but wanted to review my outside labs and results that I obtained. He was completely unavailable when needed. I feel completely neglected. The doctor had a week to spend 5-10 minutes on the phone. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

I had an appt for 3:30 and walked out two hours later I was greeted and taken into an office were I was basically treated like I was making up my chronic pain and extensive injuries. During a physical exam which entailed neck, head, arms, fingers back and leg grabbing and twisting /lifting/bending I was told I could work for Cirque de Soleil and was also asked to put my head down in between my knees. I was told that our conversation as the Dr. was collecting health info "had been accidentally recorded" by a "very sensitive mic" sitting on his desk(he said he would delete everything but I'm not sure) and kept using my job to explain how he assessed a patient which he used multiple times. This was very uncomfortable and confusing. He seemed very condescending in the way he expressed having 40+years of experience by which he can assess and diagnose a patient as soon as they walk through his door..? I was so shocked I could not get myself up and walk out. Never going back - horrible!
