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.

Kind, caring, and amazing medical professional
Dr Drucker saved my life. I trust him implicitly. He is empathetic and helped me at my lowest point. He is an exceptional medical profession, and I have referred several friends to him.

I refer to him and trust him with my own clients
I am a psychotherapist in the Coachella Valley. I send my patients and make referrals to Dr. Drucker. He has helped my clients and is so amazing. They actually get better! He and his office are very compassionate as most of these reviews indicate. Unfortunately some people are never happy and writing a complaint about a professional you have never seen and who asks you to contact your insurance and for the doctor to ask for authorization is not something that is unreasonable. It is so sad we have to deal with clinical narcissists who are given more weight to their negative reviews on this site!He is great at diagnosis and paring the right medications. He and his staff are warm and personable. I would send my own family to see him.

First of all this doctor puts medical assistance responsibility to his patients this is one of this office paper works“ it is your responsibility to contact your insurance company open your case for pre-authorization for treatment and confirm benefits for outpatient menthol health this kind of information should be verified by the doctors employees not by patients we are not his employees this is bean greedy don’t want to pay for the staff

Exceptional diagnostician/knowledge of latest meds
I have been seeing Dr. Drucker every 3-4 months for several years. He took my history on my first visit (one hour) and I asked him point-blank what he thought my conditions were and he told me. I appreciated his directness. I had tried MANY medications for depression and anxiety but he targeted an anxiety spectrum disorder that I was aware I suffered from but had never been effectively treated by previous doctors. He prescribed a medication I was unaware of, told me it was generally the most effective for my condition and had relatively few side effects. He started me on a low dose, I tolerated it and he gradually upped the dose, checking in every few weeks until he had me on a dose that DID greatly alleviate many of my symptoms. We agreed that my depression was secondary to my anxiety disorder(s) and I feel he got to the root of the problem rather quickly (6-9 months) and I was feeling better. Mind you, I’ve had setbacks but he’s been there for me and helped me through them.

Dr. Drucker has exceeded my expectations. He is knowledgeable, understanding, and very personable. I like that he only sees adults, and not children. His partner, Michael, is an excellent office person, and sends reminders for each appointment.

Soft spoken, intelligent, asks questions about you and family issues, makes suggestions, options for medications, treatments, etc. He is thorough and doesn’t seem rushed.

Not an especially warm individual. He prefers to type every word you say into the computer rather than have a dialog with you. Seems knowledgeable though. The office assistant (which is also his spouse) is a nightmare and reason enough to avoid this doctor.

Mark, Palm Desert – Aug 19, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Drucker?
Had my first appointment today. He is a very nice, kind and compassionate man. I was put at ease by his office staff. But the doctor seems unfocused. I counted 12 times he looked at his smart watch within our hour. One time ( while explaining how my father had passed away) he even interacted with it, not just checked it. I just wanted to be listened to for my specified time. Let's hope the treatment works. I am open and desperate for help. At this point someone who checks their watch consistently will do. That could be a good thing? What if its a patient is texting him? They might need his help as soon as he is done with me? But who am I to judge. Maybe someone out there is in more need than me, if so... Offer a helping hand.

I’ve only had positive experiences with Dr. Drucker. He remembers from visit to visit what my issues are. Takes good notes. He will not prescribe pills without careful consideration. And he is not afraid to say no.
