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. Gottesman is not only an expert in his field of medicine, he is exceptionally kind. Every time I visit Dr. Gottesman, he always takes the necessary time to review, cross reference, and update my medical records, and, in addition, listens to any concerns that I have. I always look forward to my visits with Dr. Gottesman and, once I leave, I feel confident about our plan for next steps to improve my health. I am very grateful to have Dr. Gottesman as my specialist and I highly recommend him. I literally trust him with my life! Seriously.

I was diagnosed in 1990. I’ve seen a lot of neurologists and MS specialists. I’ve been with Dr.Gottesman for six years. He’s fantastic. The best doctor I’ve had.

Since the first day I started as a patient of Dr Malcolm Gottesman the Doctor has been very caring and helpful. He and his Staff have attended diligently to my M.S. concerns, and his attentiveness prevented a couple of M.S. relapses from progressing further. The Doctor has kept on top of my situation, suggesting remedies that, at first, I may have found hard to accept, but were DEFINATELY in my best interest. His advise has always proven very valuable. Even as my M.S. unexpectedly progresses (it is the nature of the beast), he knows the necessary avenues I must take for my sake, and the sake of my family. To say the least, his knowledge and compassion is tempered with great wisdom, and I will always be grateful for those qualities. His Office Staff has also stood on top of my supply of medicines to ensure that I do not run out, thus preventing a catastrophic situation. I am lucky to have found this Doctor, and God willing will be able to remain in his care for years to come.

Dr. Gottesman is compassionate, takes a sufficient amount of time with patient, is not an alarmist and after review of tests, recommended a stroke doctor for further evaluation. He provided explanations 4 other neurologists didn't.

The first neurologist who actually requested the necessary results. I finally received an MS diagnosis after over 3.5 years. He's very thorough and listens to all of your concerns. He makes me feel like I'm more than just a patient and that my symptoms aren't all in my head (no pun intended). Brilliant.

When I first began having MS symptoms, it was recommended that I see Dr, Gottesman. That first appointment was almost ten years ago and I am still his patient today (and hope to never have to change doctors!). He is WONDERFUL. He is knowledgeable about all MS options, and listens to me as a patient (something many doctors nowadays have forgotten). I am grateful to have him!

I was diagnosed with MS and Dr. Gottesman was recommended as a specialist in the field. When I arrived, it seemed the staff was highly disorganized. A patient who showed up an hour late for their appointment was taken ahead of me. In the middle of my appointment, Dr. Gottesman had me wait in the hall while he saw another patient. He gave me no guidance in treatments or medication. I felt like I was on a conveyor belt. No concern for my well-being.
