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.

In October 2018, I found out I had fibroids after experiencing pain. My gyn at the time suggested birth control which would be a band-aid over the problem especially because I wanted to have children. I met with Dr. Rifkin—he wanted to stop my pain & prepare me for the future so in February 2019 he performed my open myomectomy. He came to me the morning of my surgery as I was crying & having anxiety this being my first surgery & he spoke to me & settled my nerves knowing what was best for me. I trust Dr. Rifkin wholeheartedly & look forward to him delivering my babies someday!

I was very impressed with Dr Rifkin. He took me into his office to sit down before my exam which is very very rare to go over my medical history being a new patient. He made me feel very comfortable as his staff did too. He listened and explained everything so I could understand.

I’ve seen him regularly during my last trimester during pregnancy and he’s amazing. Something about his persona makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. He makes you laugh and is very encouraging. I highly recommend him. He knows his stuff!

Dr. Rifkin is the consummate doctor - caring, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and always calm and available. He cares very much about both the physical and emotional well-being of his patients and does everything within his power to take care of both. His is a dying breed of doctor who is not in the medical profession for the money, but rather for the ability to take care of people and make a huge difference in their lives, health and families. I cannot recommend him more.
