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.

He is one of a kind. Has been my primary care physician for close to 30 years. Attention to detail, excellent care and treated as an individual. Highly recommend.

Went there to find a new Doctor. This guy kept giving me individual business cards for other Doctors for each individual problem I had! And pretty much did not help me at all! waste of my time and money!! When I left there I thought I was in the Twilight Zone!!

He is very personable and realistic about medical priorities. With his guidance my quality of life is great. A side benefit of having him as my physician is the knowledge he has of medical specialists when the need arises. Both my wife and I appreciate having a doctor we both feel so comfortable with.

Just didn't feel connected with him. Seems like it didn't understand my problem or maybe he just didn't want to listen to me. I am still dealing with the pain I was suffering from when I met him and walked out his office with no resolution. He even referred me to someone that seems to not care such as he didn't. Long wait, very quick visit.

May be a good doctor for someone who likes to be in and out but the appointment was very rushed. Also, I had blood results taken and received no call on them. I understand if the results were normal but I felt horrible and went to a different doctor to have them retested. Sure enough the results showed I needed my medicine adjusted and I feel much better now.

Englewood Cliffs, NJ – Dec 17, 2016

During my first visit, I had to ask him to repeat himself after he mumbled something, and he responded/repeated by shouting out easily loud enough that if there were other patients in adjacent rooms, they would have heard it clearly. At the end of the visit, got a heavy heavy push to hand him my phone so I could like him on Facebook. had to say no three times. Was told I would be contacted about blood test results, never was. Called myself, was told I'd be called back same-day, no callback.
