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.

Very strange woman
Can seem caring one moment and confused, rude and distracted the next. Can confuse you with another patient and suggest inappropriate medication. When realizes confusion will be angry and hide behind equally bizarre excuse. May be she was good before but she sounds like someone with early dementia.

Condescending and rude - can be helpful if in good
makes you feel rushed. Impatient and moody. Some say she is knowledgeable but if she doesn't listen and constantly interrupts she doesn't help much. She doesn't ask questions - for additional symptoms. Weird grumpy woman.

As a patient of Dr. Etkina for over 15 years, and she has always proven herself helpful and a great doctor. Recently, I had very severe back pain and I called her office after hours from a different state. My phone call was returned within the hour and she prescribed me the proper medication to a pharmacy close to me, which brought me great relief. She is a great doctor with a wide range of knowledge that is useful in all medical situations. Her receptionist can do everything almost immediately.

I have been a patient of Dr. Etkin's for almost 5 years. She is professional, knowledgeable, responsive and her office staff is great too. Dr. Etkin knows who I am, with all of her patients she remembers things about my medical history from visit to visit and she has taken amazing care of me. They ALWAYS make room for you in the schedule if you need them, they remind me about my appointments, and even when the office is closed they get back to you right away. I am lucky to have found her.

She is the worst doctor ever, based on my family experience she is totally incompetent, unprofessional and disrespectful, with a terrible approach to her patients. I am surprised why she still called a doctor in NY !!! If you love yourself or simply care about others, never ever go to her!

What I look for in a doctor is a someone who is pleasant & cares about my well being & spends enough time with me to answer my questions and doesn't make me feel rushed. She is the opposite. I don't understand how anyone can even refer to her as a "doctor". She doesn't care about her patients, all she cares about is getting paid. She'll interrupt you and say something rude to get you out of her office as fast as she can so she can see her next patient. So unprofessional. I WILL NEVER RETURN!

The worst doctor I've ever seen. Came in for a last minute appointment because I had a really bad cold & needed antibiotics, didn't want to pass it on to my baby. Upon taken into her office, she immediately gave off an attitude, answering back in a rude manner as though she doesn't have any time for me and my questions and just wants to get the appointment over with. She did not approach me nicely or with care, and even said "hurry up I have patients to see" when I gave my baby a pacifier.
