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.

D-r Magidow and all the stuff are extremely friendly and helpful. We have been their patients from the beginning and we have been very well cared all the time. Any time there has been kind of emergency they have been finding a way to take us immediately. D- r Magidow is very knowledgeable and patient. Even when he is very tired and it has been the end of fis long working day he has been taking his time to understand what is the problem. We are recommending this doctor to anybody who wants to have a real and caring doctor. Doctors like him are very rare in today's world. I wish him and his wonderful stuff good luck and great health!

Avoid at all costs
He uses his power, in a childish and egotistical way, to intimidate his patients. Do not see this man. I would definitely not trust any treatment plan he outlined for me.

Please avoid this man
I would not recommend this doctor.After I left this review, the doctor called and threatened me into taking down this review. He said if I don’t, he’ll cancel my appointment and blood tests and won’t fill out the paperwork I need for school and work, the paperwork I had paid 100$ private pay for.

Selfish person who should not be called a doctor. He will leave your loved ones in more pain and illness than ever. Hes extremely lazy. Stay far away.
