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.

A Real Pro
At my age, I’ve had a lot of physicians over the years, ad Dr. Stein is among the best. Thorough. Comprehensive. Inquisitive. Caring. A sense of humor. I’m lucky to have him as my pulmonologist.

Dr. Sidney Stein is a 5-Star doctor
Dr. Stein is perhaps the most caring doctor I have er met. He works as hard as anyone can to take care of you. Before the system portals became a way for doctors to communicate , I knew Dr. Stein would tell me my test results even if he had to call me at 7 o'clock at night. And he is so knowledgeable about the wide range of what might be going wrong with your body. He's great.

Best Internist I Ever Had
Dr. Stein pays attention to the patient. He listens. He answers in plain English. He follows up. He calls at home to give you test results. He’s very smart. He’s the complete package.

old-fashioned Dr. takes time he cares
This is a doctor has called me on Thanksgiving to see how I was doing. You are never rushed-in and washed-out. He listens to you and ask questions and accordance to what you say. He has diagnosed things correctly, that other doctors weren’t able to.

My thoughts on Dr. Stein
He is knowledgeable and has the ability to diagnose within the first visit. He’s caring and thorough and calls you back every time you leave a message for him. He also follows up on his own after each visit to make sure you understand his diagnosis and what you need to do. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Stein is an old school physician. He is very experienced and does a thorough, hands on exam, answering questions and following up to coordinate with your other specialist physicians. He is very well informed and will research something if necessary.

Excellent
Dr. Stein must be one of the best general practitioners in NYC. He has been my primary doctor for over 12 years. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and detailed. He always keeps up with the latest medical developments and information. He also is very responsive when I reach out to him via phone or message. I feel like he cares about me as a person. In addition, he is able to identify and get me in with great referrals within Weill Cornell, which is fantastic. My husband also is a long-time patient of Dr. Stein and thinks he is one of the true finds of New York. We recommend Dr. Stein’s concierge service—he is worth it.
