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.

Dr. Kirschner is not only a great professional doctor, she is an incredible human being, kind and genuine with hee patients. She went extra many miles for me in management of rather rare condition, that is now cured. She listened amd did a surgery with approach that not every doctot will choose to make sure i am comfortable, and yet the best approach was chosen to treat the condition. I can't say enough good things about this doctor, you are in good hands!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Kirschner?
She's nice, but her staff is disorganized, unprofessional, and lacking the basic compassion you expect in a medical setting. Patients are scheduled so tightly I always felt pushed to get out of there before my questions were answered. One nurse kept calling me by another patient's name. Another nurse "forgot" me in the examining room. Still another failed to note the appropriate doses for my medication. Best of all, a technician told me I'd be better off going elsewhere. Is that right?
