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.

10/10 pediatrician
Incredibly knowledgeable. Cares for not only the patient but the family as well. There’s no other pediatrician that I would trust my child’s life with!

Dr. Ben is wonderful! He seems to have an encylopedic knowledge of medicine when he does his differential diagnosis, he has a great bedside manner, is friendly with the kids, is incredibly responsive to parents, and he cares.

Dr. Kornfeld has been our daughter's pediatrician since birth. He is excellent at explaining what he is recommending and writes everything down for you so you can remember it after the appointment. He is also warm, friendly, and professional which makes it easy to ask questions. He even caught our daughter's condition early and referred us to a specialist. We highly recommend Dr. Ben to others looking for a pediatrician. We can't imagine finding a better doctor.

Dr. Ben has been our twins' pediatrician since they were born. On numerous occasions, he has gone above and beyond seeking consults to make sure that he's giving us the best information. We would highly recommend him.

Doctor Kornfeld is an excellent clinician with a warm, respectful approach to patient care. He explains every diagnosis and prescription to us and gives evidence-based responses (including referencing and clarifying up-to-the-moment pediatric studies). "Doctor Ben" is a partner in our child's well-being and we feel totally and completely supported as parents as well. We feel lucky to have found him and to be in his care.
