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.

I knew I had a large thyroid nodule, however, I dreaded surgery. I was watching CBS 5 PM news and there was a segment on Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)that featured Mt Sinai Hospital with Dr. Catherine Sinclair. I called her office and made an appointment. Arriving at her office, Dr. Sinclair came in so warm and friendly, I felt very comfortable. After examining my 9.65cm nodule, she explained RFA may be risky and advised me to think about having a partial thyroidectomy. I didn't want to hear that, however, I felt it was the right thing for me to do. At 67 years old, surgery on my neck was a scary thought. I hadn't been under anesthesia for well over 40 years. The day of the surgery, the staff at Mt. Sinai Hospital and especially Dr. Sinclair made me feel so comfortable, I didn't have to take any anxiety medication before surgery. The surgery went well. Dr. Sinclair was so correct about the surgery because removed a benign 12.7 x 9.2 x 5.2 cm and weighing 310.0 grams

I went to Dr. Sinclair for a hemi-thyroidectomy procedure. After having a bad experience with my first surgery, Dr. Sinclair made me feel very confident about my second. During the initial consultation, she thoroughly explained all of the things that could possibly go wrong during the surgery and the issues I could possibly have afterwards. She was extremely upbeat and confident. She listened intensively and actively took notes. You could tell she loves what she does and she loves to help people
