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.

Doctor had scheduled an appointment 2 months back. I am unemployed. However, as the Doctors office required me to change my health insurance to a costlier insurance, I did the same. I went to the Doctors office at 7.30am today morning. The Doctors office refused to see me as they have now decided not to take this insurance. I even offered to pay by cash and was refused to honor the appointment. Don't waste time with these arrogant people

The wait was a little longer than I had expected but I soon understood why. Dr. Shinder is an excellent doctor. I went for a consultation and ended up getting very minor surgery to remove a cyst on my lower eyelid. The procedure itself took only a few minutes. Dr. Shinder was informative, kind, and thorough. I had remarked to him that it was very obvious that he liked his work. He replied that "like" was not a strong enough word as he loved his work. A wonderful man! A wonderful doctor!

I would recommend this doctor he explained everything to me about my concerns however after my procedure I went back for a follow up everything was good set up for the next procedure went ok. Didn't like the way my eye was healing called the office several times finally they called me back after about 2 weeks of trying brought me in for the doctor to tell me he couldn't treat me anymore. Left me in the middle of post op With no doctor to see.
