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.

Dr Kay,
I’m a NYCFD retired FF (L-41) Dr Kay made life enjoyable for me. His advice and direction would change my health to a new level.

He's great, he took over Dr. Stuart Strikowsky (retired), and takes the time, no rush, and makes sure there's nothing else that might get overlooked. We get a long great, he is very respectful (even asks about a family member to see how he/she were doing even though they are not even his patients) and caring!

Dr Kay has been our doctor for over 20 years. He always asked about us when one of us has an appointment. He always knows what is going on with us medically. He takes all the time needed for appointments and I am thankful for his careful follow up on my husband thru his stroke. His office staff is fabulous and we have never had an issue getting anything we needed or with insurance filings.

Disrespectful office manager. Many health savings accounts require receipt of an office visit. The office manager is not only disrespectful, but incompetent. If you ask for a receipt, you certainly won't get it on the day of the visit, and you may never get one. Dr Kay took over Dr Strikowsky's practice. I had been with Dr Strikowsky for years. I'm now seeing another doctor with great office staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kay for over 25 years. I have been very happy going to see him and have had very good experiences each time. I will continue with Dr. Kay till he decides to retire at which time I will truly miss him. I also love all the staff that works with him. I also love the fact that he has students there just about every time I have been in there to see him.
