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.

This doctor is no good....
I had a urological problem and decided to visit Dr Sheynkin as he was in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend a different doctor. He was rude, and seemed to evade many of my questions. Try a higher tier urology program (eg NYU).

Do not recommend
I am a relatively young patient with varicocele. I've seen many doctors who agree on the management of my condition, while Dr. Sheynkin is the only who disagrees. He likes to talk to you about clinical papers and will interrupt when you try to ask about your own condition. He also has far less clinical & procedural experience with varicocele than other doctors. He is also very hard to get in touch with, and his office uses outdated technology. I consider myself an open-minded and very tolerant person, but given Dr. Sheynkin's behavior and experience, I would try another physician, or at least get a second opinion.
