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.

He tried to prescribe some medicine which I found is not the best treatment, although expensive, by seeing another doctor and some research. I felt being controlled by a doctor. Will never see this doctor again.

Meticulous. When the STAFF at Caremount Medical formerly MKMG (the largest physician group in Westchester) need a colonoscopy they go to him. Plus, a first rate and well trained operating room staff.

He is a seasoned professional who seems to take great care in all manner. I have used him over a number of years and on multiple procedures. Dr. Chinitz will reach out to his colleagues if he feels there is even the slightest concern about your health. Its a little tough to get through to the office by phone.

Bill B in South Salem, NY – Aug 29, 2016

Sat in a crowded office for two hours waiting for my appointment, listening to a secretary chat on the phone with her friends and then flirt with her co-worker like a little school girl. Afterwards, upon finally entering the office, the nurse proceeded to inform me that my temperature of 99.0 F was a fever. Never once was there an apology made by the physician or staff for the excessive wait time.
