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.

Dr. Gleckel always takes the time to answer questions, and provide further explanations if needed. He cares about his patients. His office staff is very kind, courteous and friendly - from the front desk to those who administer the tests. Having great staff helps reduce the stress of going to the doctor.

Best doctor in New York
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Gleckel for over 30 years. He is so knowledgeable and reviews everything. He sent my husband for testing for prostate cancer, despite a relatively low PSA, because he was concerned about the trend. Stage 1 cancer was treated successfully, because of prompt diagnosis. This is only one example of the thoroughness and skill of Dr. Gleckel and his staff. Suzanne and VJ were particularly helpful during our last visit. Everyone is warm, welcoming and caring. We were seen promptly. Little or no wait! We are moving to Florida and will come yearly for our checkups to Dr. Gleckel. He's that GOOD!

Not just a technician but a Healer!
Dr. Gleckel has been my primary care physician for over 30 years. He is truly gifted - brilliant goes without saying but just as important, compassionate! He cares and takes the time you need when being examined.

Tania Chery NP at Doctor Gleckel’s Office
I have been going to the wonderful Doctor Gleckel for 30 years. I was delighted to be taken care of by Tania, his new Nurse Practitioner, during my annual physical. Tania made me feel so comfortable! She is knowledgeable and has a calming, reassuring manner. She also discussed my test results in great detail once they were in and made several great suggestions. These qualities are extremely important to a patient.I look forward to seeing Tania and Dr. Gleckel in the future.

Dr. Gleckel gets 5 stars, the best of the best, he has been my primary Doctor for many years, including my mother and father. He is a true professional, it's a pleasure having Dr.Gleckel and his staff on my medical team. I have to mention his assistant Sophia she is very good at her job, caring and especially good when taking my blood which I hate having done. His staff at the front desk Shakera, is down-to-earth, polite, and helpful. And I can never forget #1 Pam, everyone loves Pam.

Best of the Bedt
From the time my wife and I walked in we were treated with curtesy, kindness and caring. The staff was remarkably coordinated and adept, not wasting time, but taking precisely the steps needed to get information to the Dr. Gleckel for review. His skill and insights into my heart issue ( complicated by other issues) was right on the mark. He left me with a sense of calm and confidence that has me looking forward to my next visit!

Dr. Gleckel treats the 'whole' person and his approach is demonstrated by his ENTIRE staff as well! I wish I knew every single name of his wonderful staff, to mention individually, but what I DO know is they are angels on earth! Each and every one makes it their mission to get to know you, share life stories....all with the goal of making you feel at ease....and you cannot put a price on that!

Dr. Gleckel has been my doctor for a few years now and he has helped me with many medical conditions amongst which is high blood pressure. Today, at work I wasn’t feeling well and had a technician at my office ( I work for another medical practice not affiliated with Pro Health) take my pressure and it was high. I called Dr. Gleckel’s office and spoke with Marsha at the front desk who treated me so kindly and did fit me in for an appointment. Pam, the nurse was fabulous as usual and spoke with me in such a calming way and Sophia, the Medical Assistant tended to me so caringly. Dr. Gleckel checked me out, adjusted my medications and let me feel that I was in such good hands. He reassured me that he and his staff was there for me and made me feel like a person and not just a medical record number. Upon checkout, Althea took care of me and was very warm and kind. Today was an example of how patients need to be treated.-professionally but with love. Thank you Dr. Gleckel and everyone.

Dr. Gleckel has taken very good care of my mother and takes very good care of my father for the past 30 years. I became a patient of his just recently when I needed a cardiologist. He is an AWESOME doctor and I trust him. He's honest, kind, and has the best bedside manor I've seen in a long time. His staff is just as special. Nurse Pamela took care of me today for my stress test and remembered both of my parents and my brothers! She told me some very beautiful stories about my mom that made me smile. It's always nice to hear from others what kind of person your parents were and Nurse Pamela gave me another chance to see my mom in yet another honorable light. Thank you Nurse Pamela, I really needed that today! = )

Dr. Gleckel is a true gem. My family and I have been going to Dr. Gleckel for our heart and as our primary care physician for approximately 30 years. He is brilliant, compassionate and knows when he has to give me a stern talking to if I am not following his instructions. If I have a problem and need to get in to see him ASAP, he makes it happen. Another big plus is that he has a great staff who exhibit the same qualities that he has, a rarity in comparison to other doctor's offices.

Generally, I do not write reviews but today’s an exception. Louis Gleckel, Chief of Cardiology at ProHEALTH Care and his team deserve a shout out. Lou exemplifies what the medical profession was meant to be. Lou is a standout. A true professional and gentleman. Highly competent. Caring. Proficient. His mission in life is to keep his patients alive and well. When he's ministering, you have his undivided attention. You are not a number; you are a person and he’s there for you 110%. Beyond his impeccable medical credentials, he is a leader. He has assembled a staff of professionals in their own right. Pam, his right arm, is beyond parallel. Competent, knowledgeable, disarmingly efficient, and instantly sets patients at ease with her soft, kind and caring manner reducing your stress level and blood pressure at the same time. Praise also goes to Sophia, an assistant, who is as pleasant as can be, good at her job and conveys comfort at every turn. ProHEALTH Care, ranking high on every list,
