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.

Terrible
Refused to listen or provide care. Wanted to discharge me with a surgical emergency with zero care. Didn’t seem to care at all!!

Absent doctor
I took my daughter into the ER. She was seen by a PA and a nurse. After several hours waiting, I talked to the nurse. It wasn't until then that I spoke with this doctor. He had made decisions about my daughter without even speaking to her or seeing her. I'm unsure how a doctor can make a decision about patients without even speaking to them or seeing them. I noticed he spent a significant amount of time at the computer on his phone. It wasn't busy at all.

Terrific E.R. visit on 6/21/2023
Dr. Diskin was friendly, compassionate, and open about treatment options. He answered questions and was very knowledgeable about urology issues.

I'm alive, NO THANKS to this physician.
I went to ER with stroke symptoms, he had a CT and found no issues, was going to discharge me (December 2019). Another doctor who actually talked to me decided that an MRI was warranted. The MRI showed that I had had a stroke. My carotid artery was 95% blocked on the right side. I had to have surgery. This physician would have sent me home and the effect would have been very grave. I highly recommend AVOIDING this physician.

Hope I never have to see this guy again ! Saw him in the ER and he did such a poor stapling a head wound that still has not completely healed after 2 weeks. Though the ER wasn’t busy, he never came back to check on me or answer questions about a serious wound.

Absolute HACK! Don't know why he's a doctor. Treatment of my large open wound required 14 stitches and was completed in less than an hour. I only saw one other patient on the floor at that time. He ensured my tetanus shot was updated, and advised me to have follow up with primary care within a week to remove stitches. My primary care was spitting mad at the closing that was poorly treated and the COMPLETE disregard for any antibiotics. I'm in my 3rd week of wound care and have an active case of MRSA. Thanks for that pal.

I went to the ER today for postpartum abdominal pain and this doctor sent me home with a prescription for Miralax and provided zero other remedy’s for gas pain that makes me vomit and bend over can barely walk and also wrote something completely false about my health in my chart I do not recommend and took 2 hours to be seen by anyone
