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.

Professional doctor. Excellent bed side manners.

I’ve been going to Dr. Shlain for a few years, and am now switching doctors because I’ve been consistently unsatisfied. She’s not a bad doctor but she makes no effort to try to figure out what’s going on and instead takes incessant notes. The conversation feels like a one way street with me telling her all of my symptoms and her not giving me any insight. In fact, I came to her with stomach pain 6 months ago and she brushed it off. Now I have an ulcer that could have probably been avoided had she told me to go see a specialist.

As a middle aged male I was a bit apprehensive about engaging with a female physician. After my first physical, the time and attention paid by Dr. Shlain-Frink and her sincere approach to improving my health. I recommend her without reservation. She’s arguably the best doctor I have ever had and I’ve had many.

Dr. Shlain-Frink has been my PCP for over 3 years now. She's a great listener, and very thorough whenever I have an issue. Can't recommend her enough.
