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.

Curt, rude response
I think Dr. Stein is wonderful however Prior to visit I called to check about insurance and was told that there is an extra charge for refraction. When I asked the receptionist what refraction is, her response was, “you can google it honey.”Rude!

Recently had some very disheartening experiences with Dr. Stein. My mother, an 93 year old holocaust survivor with dementia was referred to him. The care he has provided has been awful. His indifference and disinterest in her care was painful for me to experience, particularly since she had been his patient for many years before she became helpless with dementia. I found it interesting that his office sends out satisfaction surveys, but it is very clear that the purpose of the survey is just to get positive testimonials. From the response I got when I spoke to his receptionist about my review, it was clear they only want praise and are not truly interested in how patients feel.

Very polite and to-the-point. He is knowledgeable and knew what to screen me for and how to handle my predisposition to a condition. Staff in his office are very friendly and welcoming. From start to finish it can take a little long but sure he's only one man.
