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.

Great doctor!!
Dr.Itskowitz saved my life the night I went in for emergency surgery for a perforated bowel! Awesome doctor!! Never needed pain meds and had 2 nurses actually compliment my incision!

Mr Allen – Aug 05, 2022

I have never had a worse experience with a doctor. His bedside manner is average at best. The nightmare began when he didn’t receive my upfront payment for my deductible (a few hundred bucks bc I was out of town) so he canceled my surgery without telling me. I found out when I was sitting in the waiting room of the hospital on the morning of my procedure at 6:30am! I was told I was taken off the schedule bc of a “billing” issue! Despite having private insurance. Used car lot not dr. Office.

Had an amazing experience with him and Dr. Surfield in 2016. He explained everything to me about the whole process and put me at ease. I was able to go back to work much earlier than expected because they both did a fabulous job. The instructions were clear pre and post operations. I was completely comfortable and happy with my results.

Dr. Itzkowitz was very knowledgeable about my breast cancer and gave me all the information I needed. I never felt I needed to go elsewhere. He is very professional and always got back to me if I called with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend Dr. Itzkowitz.
