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 urology experience.
The scheduling and response in the Schiff office is very streamlined and the quality of the people stand out. Who ever trains them is to be commended . I’ve had to rely on Dr Schiff for years and have not been disappointed . He continues to improve my quality of life into my retirement .

Confusing process at best
Underwhelming. Never felt comfortable and had numerous scheduling Issues. Have decided to cancel remaining appointments and move on. Given Incomplete Information for return visits which caused rescheduling multiple times. Seems there are too many patients and the doctor seems spread too thin.

Very Knowledgeable
Dr. Schiff is always in a good mood, polite, and respectful of his patients. My only complaint is that his front staff is not very understanding and at times very rude.

Terrible First Impression
I had a truly disappointing experience with this doctor's office. When I called to set up an appointment as a new patient, they hung up on me as soon as I mentioned that I was new. I called back right away, and this time I had to wait with five other people in front of me. When I finally got through, they gave me the runaround, insisting that I needed a referral from my primary doctor. This was completely unnecessary as I have PPO insurance and my insurance provider specifically informed me that I don't need a referral.It's baffling how a medical office can be so dismissive and unprofessional, especially when dealing with new patients. Their behavior was not only rude but also contradicted the information provided by my insurance company, which confirmed that this doctor is in-network and no referral is required. I expected much better and will be looking for a different provider who values their patients and treats them with respect.
