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.

Wonderful doctor

Great Doc! – Mar 25, 2025
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kirzner?
Receptionist is absolutely incompetent. Does not return voicemails. Does not get back to you after saying she will over the phone. I’m a past patient who has left multiple voicemails over the span of two weeks without a call back. All I want is my medical records for my new doctor. How hard is this? Totally inconsiderate and wastes patient’s time.

Great doctor. Been seeing him since I was a little kid. Now I am an independent adult and college graduate. I was so bad at one point I didn't think I'd even make it to 18! Thank you Dr. Kirzner.

He didn't properly diagnose me. I have bipolar disorder, and he was saying I had ADHD. He gave me the wrong meds, and I wound up hospitalized.

I was recommended to see B Kirzner MD for Ins review. I felt he was quite skillful at listening and observing my body language. Do to this I started seeing him for management of psychiatric Rx. He was in roach with the rest of the team and appeared skillfull and confident with the medication he prescribed. I am not cured, however I am able to control me life better and have not been admitted to the hospital since being on medication cocktail, even as I live in another country, I remain on the.
