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.
My PCP for 20 years. Best doctor I've ever had. I'm 75. One of the best things she does is to refer me to top notch doctors in the Beth Israel family.

Dr. Gleysteen is a constant calming presence in my life. I trust her, have been satisfied by every visit with her, and am consistently amazed by how much she is able to fit into every visit—where the minutes are scarce.

I've seen Dr. Gleysteen for almost 20 years and she is an excellent doctor. She is an intuitive and thorough physician who looks out for all aspects of her patient's health, is responsive to inquiries, and gives good advice and referrals to specialists when appropriate. Of all of the primary care physicians I have had over the years, Dr. Gleysteen is, by far, the best.

I am a long time patient of Dr. Gleysteen and have received excellent care for more than 20 years and throughout many health issues. She is thorough, a good listener, a good diagnostician and doesn’t hesitate to order necessary tests or refer to specialists when needed. And she is kind. She and her office staff get back to me promptly and take time to answer questions and deal with insurance issues.

Very negative experience with Dr Gleysteen. She was very abrupt and misdiagnosed me. I now have a wonderful, and appropriate md. Look for a caring and competent dr. Dr Glyeesteen is neither of those!

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Gleysteen since 1999. If you consider a doctor who is thorough and straight to the point rude, then I'll take rude any and every time. She is courtious and personable, while professional 100% of the time. She is so very connected to the medical professionals in the area, she is able to refer you to not only the best specialists in the area, but the best match for you as a person,. Dr. Gleysteen is a rare gem, and we won't be willingly parting any time soon
