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.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Schonfeld has a great deal of patience and explains things so that I can get a full understanding of the situation. She also sends me messages via the portal when she gets test results which is so kind of her.

Exceptionally Bright & Professional
She’s smart as well as pleasant to deal with. Very respectful. Didn’t assume I was knowledgeable of everything but definitely didn’t talk down to me either. I’m always impressed with her and know that I’m in great hands. So glad WCMC finally got her approvals for out of state telehealth licensing completed this year.

Excellent Hepatologist!
Dr. Emily Schonfeld is a phenomenal hepatologist! My husband was diagnosed with a severe liver disease, Dr. Schonfeld and the rest of the medical team at Weill Cornell literally saved his life. Dr. Schonfeld is soooo sweet, empathetic, intelligent and has great experience in the hepatology and GI space. She takes her time to explain the condition, cause and possible outcome of the subject matter. In addition she is responsive with phone calls, messages and results from blood work. Whoever is treated by her are in very good hands. I cannot commend or provide enough accolades to her, she simply is the best!

three stars for Dr.Schonfeld, minus 3 for Clara
Dr. Schonfeld is nice and patient, but her assistant Clara Ho is too rude to the patient. She seems not well educated. Clara Ho seems to be in a bad mood every day. She can't speak properly. She talks to patients like they're her enemies.

Fantastic, compassionate doctor!!
Dr. Schoenfeld understands how hard I try to lose weight and she really tries to take the burden off of you tries to give you solutions and ways to help. I do think she takes into account what your lifestyle is like a very busy parent and eating on the run. She is soft-spoken and not scary in any way. She just wants to help and she’s very relatable!

Top Notch!
From the day I was admitted throughout my surgery and then to my recovery and still to this day Dr Schonfeld made me feel and continues to make me feel like I’m her only patient. Now that I’m home she always checks up on me , explains everything so that I can understand it and always gets back to me to even answer my questions no matter how minuscule they may be. I was and am very lucky to be under her care. The best of the best.Dr. I thank you and your devoted team!

This Dr is incredibly knowledgeable. She diagnosed a condition that many Drs missed. She has empathy and took the time to listen to my concerns and her clear explanations diminished my anxiety. She immediately calls to give you the results of tests. Highly highly recommended.
