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.

My husband and I have been Dr. Krakower's patients for the past 25 years - he is very caring, professional,and knowledgeable. He is very friendly and has a great bedside manner. We trust his commitment to us , his patients and are so pleased he was highly recommended by another specialist whom we trust as well. His staff has been just as exemplary.

I called to ask for an appointment. They were listed first in my health insurance on-line. Amy answered the phone, said they were not accepting new patients, and would NOT let the insurance company no to remove them from their list. These are the people in the healthcare field who create undo work for others.

Dr, Krakower is very astute in diagnosing problems that may, initially, indicate another "blind-alley"course. To his credit, his "bedside manner" in the office is n exemplary (based upon my over 15 years of experience with him), clearly due to his true concern for his patient. I'm glad he is in my corner for all initial health-care issues.
