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.

Highly recommended
Dr. Handler is kind and compassionate. She listens carefully to your concerns and explains things clearly.

Beware Surprise Bills
Have been coming here for many years and Dr.Handler is 5 stars, highly recommend! It's the office getting 1 star. Received a surprise bill (over $400) after the woman at triage desk ignored me clearly telling her to remove old coverage, plus had done my own on-line check in with correct information. When called office to speak to someone (see other reviews about difficulty to actually get a call through to a real human) a male receptionist told me there was nothing to discuss and was absolutely mocking me, transferred me to a billing company that just reads and repeats a phone script. Very disappointing for an excellent doctor to have a negative review due to the front desk.

I already have recommended Dr. Handler.
Wait time was short- lab work done before going to an exam room, so results were available during the visit. Dr. Handler, as always, was pleasant, professional and never rushed.

Excellent MD!
We have been seeing Dr Handler for 2 years. She is thorough in her examination and listens to your concerns. Although she is very busy and appointments can be difficult, she is definitely worth the wait. You never feel rushed during your visit.

Compassionate and caring
Dr. Handler is a compassionate and caring doctor. She takes time to listen to the patient and address all concerns. I suffered from chronic UTI’s for years before going to Dr Handler. She worked with me to come up with a plan for treatment and prevention. The office is efficient and appointments are always kept on time. I highly recommend.
